Arguments expected
Fraley picks Palmer
top athlete of 1962
By Otear Fralay
UPI Staff Writer
MIAMI (UPI) Arnold Palm
er gets this corner's vote today
ae the top athlete of 1062 and it's
a 8 to 5 bet that It will raise a
lot of argument in many quar
ters. Hie discussion will be attended

I'll add thut as far as baseball
Is concerned it's Tommy Davis
of tha Los Angeles Dodgers over
anybody who was second.
But a Palmer rhubarb could bo
anticipated as easily as rain the
first time you wore a new suit,
simply because a great many
sports bugs don't consider golfers
as athletes to begin Willi.
This, In one man's never very
humble opinion, is as wrong as
now on July 4. There are many
ways in which to measuro an
athlete and a champion. Some of
the more important items which
most be taken into consideration
are physical condition, muscular
control of the weapons at hand
and chilled steel nerves when, as
thoy say in Monte Carlo, the chips
ere down.
Golfers Face Pressure
If you've ever tried to holo a
10-foot putt for the rent money
then you have a foggy idea
of what the tigers of the tourna
ment trail face week in and week
out all year long. When they look
at the ball they aro trying to hit
It through the nerve shaking cam
ouflage of a dollar sign. It lakes
more Innards than a guy ringing
Ills front door bell at four in Uio
morning.
As for endurance, playing 72
holes in three days, many times
when the sun is making scram
bled eggs of your brains, calls
for racehorse fitness when you
consider the stakes. And, as for
dexterity with the Implements of
the game. If you'vo never played

Boasted Strong Record
Having settled that, at least to
my own satisfaction, I'd have to
hold that Palmer's record this
year makes him a solid lock. He
won tho Masters again, his second
straight British Open, lost the
U.S. Open to young Jack Nicklaus
In a playoff and added such rich
events as tho Texas Open, Tour
nament of Champions, Colonial In
vitation and American Golf Clas
sic. Naming a few others who were
the best in their own particular
sport, I'd havo to go with:
Baseball Davis of tho Dodg
ers, Frank Merrlwell having re
tired. Boxing Sonny Llston, against
any other two who want to fight
him the same night.
Baskctlwll - Wilt (the SUlt)
Chamberlain, and give you 10
points.
Football - Y. A. Tittle, If the
records aro straight.
Auto Racing Rodger Ward,
with nobody in the same lap.
Tennis Rod Lavor, left-handed:
which ho happens to bo.
Horse Racing Willie Shoe
maker, and name me somebody
betler if you really had to win
one.
Owners Back Shoamakar
The guys with the stakes run
ners will tell you that the "Shoo"
may wind up as the best of all
time. So you might not get too
much argument there.
But selecting Davis could pro
voke a pleasant little hassle. This
year you had llaury Wills steal
104 bases to break Ty Cobb s rec
ord; Mickey Mantlo led the Yan
kees to another World Scries tri
umph in which, for a change, the
Bronx Bombers couldn't ho-hum
it, and that say-hoy man, Willie
Mays, was money in the bank for
mo Giants.
Yet, while tho Dodgers blew the
pennant playoff, Tommy D. was
a stickout in leading the league
with a .346 average, 1X1 runs bat
ted in and 230 hits. That's a triple
nolxxlv has accomplished since
Stan Muslal did It in 1918.

Baker top story of 1962
By United Press International
A gifted football quartorback
stood in the Downtown Athletic
Club In New York earlier this
month and received a large tro
phy with a figure of a football
player in mid-stride, the ball un
der one arm and the other out
stretched to ward off a tackier.
With that trophy, Oregon State's
Terry Baker became the top
sports story of 1962, according to
Oregon UPI sports writers and
sportsc asters.
The award was the Heisman
Trophy, given annually to Uio out
standing football player in the na
tion. Never before had it come to
a player west of the Rocky Moun
tains. Baker's credentials were im
pressive. He led the nation in total
offense with 2,276 yards in 10
games, far ahead ci his nearest
competitor. His career total was
second only to that of Drake's
Johnny Bright, and he passed
such great stars as Georgia's
Frank Sinkwich and Zeke Brat
kowski and TCU's Davcy O'Brien
during the season. To top it off,
he led Oregon State to an 8-2 rec
ord In tlie regular season.
The only Oregon sports event to
challenge Baker's winning of the
Heisman Trophy as the year's top

by hurdler Jerry Tarr, miler Dy

Jerome, ran off and left the rest
of the teams.
UPI All-American
Third place in the voting went
to another football item the se
lection of Baker and Oregon half
back Mel Renfro on the United
Press International All -America
team. One state has had two All
Americas many times before, but
not since the days of Doak Walker
and Bobby Layne in Texas have
two players come from the same
high school and gone on to win
honors the same year in college.
Baker and Renfro were team
mates on state championship
teams at Portland's Jefferson
High.
Coach Bill Bowerman's stable of
Oregon distance runners supplied
the No. 4 story. Burleson, Vic
Reeve, Archie San Romanl Jr.,
and Keith Forman ran the four
mile relay in world record time
of 16:08.4 at Fresno, Calif., May
12, breaking a record some ex
perts had said would stand for
years.
Oregon State's 8-4 Liberty Bowl
games this season. Its only loss
was to highly regarded Loyola of
Chicago last weekend. It holds a
decision over the Beavers.
Figured to be the best on the
Pacific Coast this year, Oregon
State has failed to live up to ex
pectations. The Beavers have
posted a disappointing 3-3 record
in their opening six contests.
Competition Tough
"We've played pretty well but
the competition has been so darn
tough," Oregon State Coach Slats
Gill said. "We weren't ready for
It this early with sophomores
starting at two positions."
Gill added "the whole tourna
ment seems tougher. It's really
going to be a tough one to win."
But the Beavers can't be count
ed out. Their chances were in
creased with the Tetum of football
star Terry Baker, who will "quar
terback" a team which includes
7-foot star center Mel Counts.
Bilker returned to the Beavers
last weekend and scored 29 points
in two games as they finished
third in the four-team Kentucky
invitational tournament at Lexing
ton. Also given a chance to win the
tournament are Idaho (5-01, Cali
fornia 16-D and Arizona (5-2).
Oregon (2-3, Washington State
(2-31 and Iowa (2-4) don't appear
to be threats.
Idaho will be without Gus Joum
son, its star 6-2 center who is in
eligible for the tournament under
NCAA rules.
Oregon State, which has com
piled a 15-0 record in the six pre
vious classics, defeated Oregon
for the title last year. This year'
tournament is expected to break
last season's record attendance
of 33,046.

Sherman back
as top coach
in NFL ranks
NEW YORK (UPI) AI Sher
man, tlie "kid from Brooklyn"
who guided the New York Giants'
"fabulous old men" to another
division title, today was honored
as United Press International's
National Football League coach-of-the-year
for the second straight
season.
Hie ever-optimistic, 39-year-old
Sherman and his Giants crossed
up a lot of NFL "experts" who
predicted before the start of this
season that the club was creaky
with age and "just couldn't win"
the Eastern Division champion
ship, Sherman gave them his answer
a few weeks ago after tho Giants
had beaten tlie Bears in Chicago
to qualify again for the NFL's
championship playoff:
"Why is it," he laughed, "when
you lose you're considered old;
but when you win, that s consid
ered maturity?"
All along, since before die start
of the season, he had predicted
that the Giants' experience would
be an asset, and not a detri
ment. Sherman now can attain Hie
ultimate hi his two-year head
coaching career by master-minding
the Giants to victory over the
Green Bay Packers in next Sun
day's championship game.
Sherman won the coach-of-the-year
honor in a close race with
Bill McPeak of the Washington
Redskins. In a poll of 42 regular
NFL writers (three from each
league city), tlie youthful Giants'
coach had 11 votes to McPeak's
10. Tom Landry of the Dallas
Cowboys was third with eight
votes; Vince Lombardi of the
Packers had six and George Wil
son of tlie Detroit Lions five.
Although the Giants won tlie
Eastern Division title in 1961,
there were few dopesters who
picked them to repeat in 1962.
Charlie Conerly and Kyle Role,
two of their genuine "old pros,"
had retired. And even without
them, tiie Giants were starting to
show their ago. Ten of their key
players had logged a combined
total of 97 seasons in pro football.
Could experience overcome the
drawbacks of creaking bones?
Sherman and the Giants proved
it could.

Australia near
fourth straight
Davis Cup win
BRISBANE, Australia (UPD
Red-haired southpaws Neale Fra
ser and Rod Lavcr virtually
wrapped up tennis' Davis Cup for
Australia for the fourth straight
year today when they swept tlie
opening pair of singles matches
in the challenge round before a
crowd of about 7,500 at Milton
Courts.
Fraser, a former Wimbledon
champion, did it the hard way in
a punishing two-hour, 31-minute
match that tested tlie stamina of
his battered legs a 7-9, 6-3. 6-4,
11-9 triumph over 26-year-old An
tonio Palafox.
Laver, the second man in ten
nis history to wear the "grand
slam" crown, did it the easy way
as he followed Fraser with a
stunning, 6-2, 6-1, 7-5, rout of
young Rafael Osuna.
When the two southpaws fin
ished their work on the soggy
courts, they had left little doubt
that the cup symbolic of world
amateur tennis supremacy will
stay here "down under" for at
least another year. To win now,
Mexico the first Latin-American
nation ever to appear in a
Davis Cup challenge round must
sweep all 0.' the remaining three
matches in this series, the dou
bles Thursday and the two sin
gles matches on Friday.
That would be perhaps the
greatest upset in tennis history,
and no one here was talking
about it as a possibility after to
day's matches. Instead, specula
tion centered simply on whether
or not the Aussics will duplicate
their 5-0 sweep over Italy in last
year's challenge round.
Laver, target of editorial at
tack in some Australian newspa
pers today because of reports he
will turn professional immediate
ly after tlie challenge round, was
awesomely efficient as he demol
ished Osuna.
Fraser was a substitute for
Roy Emerson, generally ranked
as the world's best amateur be
hind Laver who was taken out of
this assignment because of a
bruised rib.
