By HAROLD V. RATLIFF j
ABILENE, Tex. —UP)—When Coach Lloyd L. Wille-
ford of Institute Technologico in Monterrey, Mexico, sends a
substitute into a football game he has an interpreter handy
to be sure the boy knows what he’s supposed to do. ^

and West Virginia University be

ter that will be taken care of
anyway. Lloyd figures he’ll learn
the language pretty quickly if he
continues to coach Mexicans in
football.
Jorge Pasquel, the wealthy base
ball operator in Mexico, is indirec
tly responsible for Willeford be

stitute. Lloyd was an umpire
