Roger Staubacli - Player of the Year -
Rated ‘Fantastic* by Navy Coach Hardin
NEW YORK (/Pi — The Player of
the Year in college football —
quarterback Roger Staubach of
Navy, leads the Associated Press
All-America team. Joining Stau
bach in the backfield are Jimmy
Sidle of Auburn, Sherman Lewis
of Michigan State and Billy Loth
ridge of Georgia Tech.
Guard Damon Bame of South
ern California, the only repeater
from last year’s team, heads a
big, agile line that averages 225
pounds per man. Bame’s running
mate at guard is 269-pound guard
Bob Brown of Nebraska. The
tackles are 235-pound Scott Apple
ton of Texas’ top-ranked and un
defeated Longhorns, and 241
pound Carl Eller of Minnesota.
The National Football League’s
number one draft choice, Dave
Parks of Texas Tech, and Bob
Lacey of North Carolina, are the
ends. The center is 234-pound Dick
Butkus of Illinois.
Staubach, a junior and winner of
the Heisman Trophy, has shattered
several Navy passing and total
offense records in guiding the sec
ond-ranked Middies to an eight
and one record. Called fantastic by
his coach Wes Hardin, Staubach
is a darting, wiggling quarterback
who often improvises plays while
looking for an opening. Sometimes
he’ll reverse his field three times
before finding a target or deciding
to run.
Sidle led Auburn into the Or
ange Bowl as he ran for more than
1,000 yards and passed for more
than 700.
Lothridge, Georgia Tech’s do
everything quarterback, was run
ner-up in the Heisman Trophy bal
loting. He passed for more than
1,000 yards, ran for more than
200, punted and kicked field goals
and extra points.

Despite his mere 154 pounds,
Michigan State’s Lewis gained
nearly 600 yards rushing, led the
Spartans in pass receiving, punt
and kickoff returns and intercep
tion runbacks.
|
Parks, drafted by the San Fran
cisco 49ers, is a top-flight receiver
who also can run, pass and punt.
The other end, Lacey, was one of
the top pass catchers in the
country.
Appleton, Texas’ big tackle,
played the weak side in the Long
horns’ hard-running offense and
was middle guard on defense.
Overwhelmed b y All - America
teammate Bobby Bell last season,
Minnesota’s Eller stood out on a
less than sensational team.
Brown, Nebraska’s gigantic
guard, also can play linebacker and
defensive end. He led the Corn
huskers to a surprise champion
ship in the Big Eight Conference.
Bame worked more on offense for
Southern California this year than
he did one year ago when he also
was acclaimed All-America.
Butkus was the key figure in
Illinois’ resurgence to the top of
the Big Ten Conference.

A horse entered in a hurdle race
at Worcester Race Track in Eng
land Wednesday lost by a “short
head” — to a boat.
The horse — “Billy Buck” —
stopped short at the first hurdle,
threw his rider, bolted off the
course and then leaped into the
Severn River. For a while, Billy
Buck went cruising down the river
alone. Finally a rowboat caught up
to him, tossed out a rope and las
soed him cowboy style. The boat
pulled Billy back to shore — a
loser.
NEW YORK W — Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer Incorporated, a major

President Robert O’Brien gave

ers. He predicted that MGM would
show a profit this fiscal year.

SPORT LAUGH
Defensive halfback Jerry Sto
vall of the St. Louis Cardinals was
asked about a key moment in last
Sunday’s game against the New
York Giants. It seems the Cardinals
anticipated some trickery on the
part of the Giants during an at
tempted field goal attempt. The
play developed into a pass play.
Said Stovall:
“The way we lined up for that
play, it looked as if we had eleven,
safety men on the field.”
