I did t real Leel that i wanted to make the Inge but when the compari to the supreme court was scented to me i had to accept Challenge. Land i m certainly glad that de my association with Pete Lelle and the National foot e league have been very i started at Toppell is one of the few officials Lave made the jump from col late Ball to the pro ranks dirty As a referee. Most of the a officials in the nil Are As lied to an officiating team run a ref who has had consider be pro experience before they i handed the responsibilities leading up a group. Torn will be starting his Sev i year with the pros when my take to the Field later this a and As he said i be been by. A couple of cracked ribs broken toe and a dislocated Imp Aie the Only injuries i he went on to explain it the officiating end of theine is not without its physical be got to be on top of i play to make the right for a referee that Means nit there beside that Quarter re when those big defensive Kmen come charging remembers toughest calf that brought Tom up to what thought was the toughest Calli an official. For me As a Eree it s the roughing the ser Call. For the officials in Field it s pass interference pc reason in each Case is the pie. Both Calls depend upon in that football leaves the user s hand. Until it does he so game to being tackled and i receivers on the Way Down a Are subject to be taken basically out of the play by pops or blocks. Once the quarterback re ses the Ball he s protected asst being downed and the re Ivers Are immune from inter lace of any Type. It s pretty cult to keep your eyes on to spots at one i referee can delay Tekell about the charge that elision was dictating timeout gods so that commercials pm be inserted Tom replied fic Culous while it s True that pee Are some times when the on will be held up to allow commercial they Are very Sel i in a Normal nil game there usually enough scoring to get a Mercia is in following Chowns or Field goals. When a the referee but Only the Sree hold up play when does t interfere with the to Antum of the game. Such an pascum might be after the Ball p changed hands on a punt or be other time when neither mine earns will suffer through Png slowed Clown when a drive underway. L a l last but not least the on nil Gridiron Cardinal Rule Laid Down by com missioner Rozelle himself is that when it s a Choice Between continuity on the Field and a to commercial the game get absolute preference every Bell s instruction at the us afe school is directed mainly at officiating techniques. Since there Are about 50 differences Between collegiate rules an those of the pro game and these Fellows in the air Force play by the collegiate version i Sta away from Rule discussions inso far As possible. I leave that Parton it up to Frank. Frank Fidler a West coast College official i sharing the instruction with Bell in addition to techniques i emphasize the need for the officials to cooperate and communicate with the coaches in the interest of putting on a smoother game. If the coaches know what you Are calling and Why you arc calling it you Are a lot less Likely to get complaints fro the in Bell s 10 years with the Southeast conference he officiated basketball As Well As foot Ball and worked two Mcaa basketball finals in 1956 when Bill Russell and san Francisco beat Iowa for the title and again in 1959 when California upset West Virginia for the Crown. Tom gave up basketball officiating because its scheduling interfered with his Law the nil he says i can leave Lexington Friday night or even saturday and be Back Sun Day night ready to get Back tothe office for another week s work.
