St Mary's coach Joe Verducci resigns amid contract talks
San Francisco February 3 The St Mary's College board discusses the surprise resignation of football coach Joe Verducci who signed a three year deal before the 1949 season. A spokesman cites unspecified stipulations tied to a $9 000 yearly contract as the board adjourns without a decision. Verducci seeks the San Francisco State job as it expands its program at the new Lake Merced campus. Verducci arrived from Polytechnic High School and his record at St Marys shows 4-5 in 1948 and 3-6-1 in 1949.

Arizona California clash over Colorado River fishing rules persists
The ongoing dispute between Arizona and California sportsmen over enforcement along the Colorado River and its lakes is highlighted by calls for a separate hunting and fishing unit and the option for anglers to buy out-of-state licenses. A letter from Charles Caul of San Bernardino to the Outboard Boating Club of America cites border war rumors and alleged fines, while officials urge a conference between the two fish and game commissions. Governor Garvey may back budget tweaks to fund federal matching money and a wildlife research unit, with hatchery development and brood-stock releases planned at Roosevelt and Canyon Lakes to revive fishing.
