Saturday's contest between the University of Pittsburgh
and South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium
has been changed from a 7:00 starting time to 3:45 so
that the game may be broadcast over ABC-TV.
"We re real pleased that Pittsburgh and South
Carolina will be a regional telecast over ABC as the
second half of a doubleheader Saturday," Don Bernstein,
the director of sports programming at ABC, said
by telephone from New York Monday.
"Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles will be in the

y "We don't punch any time clock here, like so many others
who live weekend to weekend. I live for every day."
d A number of Bell's defensive subjects have made it to the
lo pros. Bill Curry, now coach at Georgia Tech, was a standout
I for the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Colts. Don Reeves,
under Bell at Texas Tech, played a number of years with the A,)
s. Chicago Bears. Thomas Howard is a starting linebacker for
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bell keeps churning out the tough ones.
"THOSE ARE THE names that enmp to mv mind rie^ht nff
the bat," Bell recalls. "But I'm sure I forgot a few names
that should be in there."
As successful as he has been, Bell admits there hasn't been
a particular, special highlight he'll always remember.
"I've been very fortunate; we've been able to win," Bell
cites. "There's no real, one thing that stands out. I can
remember every score of every game we've been involved
in. As far as one game meaning more than another, they're ?)
all about the same."
Carlen will be the first to tell vou what kind of iob Bell has
done: a good one.
"HE'S DONE a tremendous job for us," Carlen praises.
"Coach Bell's done an excellent job and he's well-liked by the
players for his 'football isn't everything' attitude."
Bell, who has been with Carlen 14 of the head coach's 16
\ years, feels Carlen does a good job. \
"But he's got a very tough job," Bell says. Bell admits he
does have head coaching aspirations, but "I think everbody m
does. 1 just like coaching." *
Bell majored in Physical Education and Administration at
Arkansas, gaining his master's in P.E.
What would he be doing if he wasn't directing ends, tackles,
^ linebackers and backs?
