9 TO Cleveland Jones Is Called Biggest, Little Grid Player PHILADELPHIA (AP) You heard about the youngster who does everything for his team but carry ine water Ducxet, ine Ore gon Wcbfools have such a lad on their loowail team. Looks Like Littlt Water Boy The situation is sometimes con fused since this Jack-of-all-phases of football offense looks more like the water boy than the water boy himseli. Cleveland Jones is his name. He's 143 pounds dripping wet, and stands S feet, 3 inches tall. Ore gon Coach Ixn Casanova refers to him as the "biggest little man in football. Good Pro Material Asst. Coach Jack Itoche com mcnts that you have to see Jones to believe it. Roche, without the trace of a smile or hint he is joking, says the pros would do well to look twice at the small halfback.

He led the team in scoring with 5 touchdowns, a pair of two point conversions and 12 for 20 placement conversions for a total of 46 points. 2. He was tops in punt returns Liberty Bowl To Draw About 25,000 Persons PHILADELPHIA (AP) Bud Dudley, president of the Liberty Bowl which will be held in Phila delphia Stadium Saturday, says opponents Penn Stale and Oregon should each take home between $50,000 and $60,000. Dudley said some 17,000 tickets had been sold as of Thursday night. He said he expects a crowd of between 20,000 and 25,000 for the nationally televised game. NBC is paying $100,000 for the TV rights. Last year more than 31,000 per sons attended the first Liberty Bowl game. Penn State and Ala bama each got $98,000, according to Dudley. He conceded heavy snows and subfrcezing temperatures this week hurl the ticket sale. "The Dodgers have the best staff." says relief nco Labine. "They have those hard throwers- five of them Williams, Drys- dHle, Koiuax, 1'odro.i and Craig. And Roebuck and Sherry In the Diinpcn, "The Orioles ml;ht be second, but not better than the Dodgers." with an average of 8.7 yards on it carries lor 85 yards. 3. He was the No. 1 kickoff re turner with 12 for 241 yards and 4 average of 20.1. 4. He led the pass receivers, 25 caught for 402 yards and 4 touchdowns. 9. He was second In rushing, 80 carries for 539 yards, an av erage of 6.4. 6. He completed 3 of 7 passes for 33 yards and 2 touchdowns. Jones says he isn't bothered by his size, no inferiority complex. He hopes the pros won't be both ered by it either. He'd like an opportunity to play for pay. "I hope they remember another little fellow by the name of Buddy Young when they hold that pro draft and start 'weighing' wheth er I'm worth a chance," says the dimunitive halfback. "I'm asking only what I ve had to ask all my athletic life, a chance." Casanova is honeful he'll get big things from his small pack age against favored State Satur day.

He was play ing football as far back as he can rcmetrfber. At Honolulu's McKin- ley High," he was a halfback, as he has been at Willamette. In college game programs he was listed at 181 pounds. "A little high," he calls that. He was weighed recently at 16S pounds. When he learned that Oregon's 5-foot-3 Cleveland Jones was on the big college squad that will op pose his group in the All-America Bowl, Solomon said he was glad. "Now 1 Know 1 won t ne tne smallest guy on the field," he said. Sue. he said, was never a con cern to him. In leading Willam ette this fall to its first undefeat ed season in 47 years, Solomon hit just as though he was the big gest man around. Whether it will be a handicap if he should want to play profes sional football is to be seen. He: says he hasn t thought much about that but "might give it a try if the offer was right." If he should go into pro ball, he likely would favor the Ameri can Football League over the Na tional. "I think my chances of gelling to play would be much better there," he said.' Hut he may return to Hawaii with his wife and their son, Mike, now 4 months old. It depends on what opportunities arise. Until after Dec. 26 however, he has scant time for such matters. I His last football game as a col legian has his full attention.
