Pro rosters made up of jerkwater By Oscar Fraley UPI Staff Writer NEW YORK (UPD-The won derful nonsense entailed in the annual selection of All-America football teams is pointed up to day by Uie rookies from nowhere battling for berths in National Football League training camps. Annually the All-America teams are composed of players from the major football foundries. Those selected come from the big-time head-knocking schools and, if not, even a combination Bronco Na-gurski-Jim Thorpe couldn't get products honorable mention. It's a payoff on public ly, pure and very simple. The pros, of course, latch hap pily onto the "name" AU-Ameri-cans because of the manner in which they can be exploited at the gate. But the NFL rosters are a true indication of player worth and show clearly how the pro scouts bird dog their way through the boondocks in search of true talent. Receives No Votes How many All-America votes, now, do you suppose were re ceived last fall by tackle Lucian Roeberg of Hampton Institute? That's right. None. But this six foot, four inch 285-pounder is right there with Uie Detroit Lions. Along with players from St. Ben edict, Huron College and Jackson Suite. What about Larry Davis of Whitewater State? Maybe you never heard of him but he's a 250-pound guard up with the Los Angeles Rams, which also has players from generally anony mous seats of learning such as McNeese State, New Mexico High lands and Heidelberg. Hie odds are that tackle Jerry Wedemeier of Winona State, de spite his 255 pounds, never had his name on many ballots but he's right there with the headline boys in the Minnesota Viking en tourage. And with him are bruis ers from St. Thomas, Southern Connecticut State, Jackson State, Whitworth and Parsons College. Unless you're a member of his family, maybe you don't know six foot, six inch tackle Ernie De courley of Morehead State. But the San Francisco 49'ers knew enough to grab him. Along wilh fullback Dick Lopour of Huron, and to give you a tip, that's In South Dakota and has 500 stu dents. Steelers Have Bailey Alcorn A&M, for your infor mation, is in Lorman, Miss., but its 250-pound Tom Bailey is up with the Pittsburgh Steelers along with such unrecognized Ail-Americans as players from St. Thomas Bethune-Cookman and North Cen tral. And so it goes all the way through the rosters . . . Ventura . . . Grambling . . . Santa Monica City College . . . Allen U. . . . Hampton . . . Humboldt Slate .. Arlington State . , , Jackson Slate . . , Hastings . . . Hartnell . . Morris Brown . . . Valparaiso , , . Philander Smith ... St. Olaf . . Arnold . East Jackson Slate . . . and Clarion. They just never got the clarion call in the headlines but the pros found them and, usually, tried to hide these backwoods blockbust ers from each other until they were labeled in the draft. It proves rather conclusively that a horde of outstanding play ers are Ignored at All-America time. U.S. Senator Estes Kefau ver summed it up rather adroitly when he was running for vice president. "I was a member of the squad at Tennessee," he said. "When I first ran for office, I found I had been a first stringer. When I ran for the Senate, I discovered I had been all-conference. But I didn't make All-American until I ran for vice president." Amen. 'M To face Healy's Lelco beats Brandis in midget playoffs 'Lelco Little Leaguers, Bend's National League champions, came on strong in the fifth inning at Juniper Park last night and soar ed to a 10-3 victory over the Bran dis bombers, capturing the first leg of the city Little League cham pionships. Lelco thus will face Healy's, the Cascade League champions, Fri day night at Harmon Field for the city flag. The Little League play off games are one-shot affairs. Healy's drew a bye on the first night of playoff action. Dennis Murphy went Uie dis tance on the mound for the vic tors and became the winning hurler. Ron Storey started on the hill for Brandis, but changed places with first baseman Daryl McMeen in the bottom of the fifth frame. McMeen finished out the contest. Storey was credited with the loss. Brandis' bombers never took a lead in the contest. Lelco jump ed into a 1-0 lead right at the be ginning. Murphy took a base on balls, and took second on a sto len base. Tom Tyler then stepped into a fat pitch and banged a sin gle bagger to score Murphy. Lelco got two more in the tliird. Murphy again took a base on balls, and Tyler rapped another single. This time, however, Ty ler's single was followed by a hard two-bagger by Tom Puddy, who brought home both runners. Brandis Scores Brandis didn't score until the bottom of tbo fourth frame. Chris Wetle got aboard via a fielder's choice. J. Barnett then took a base on balls, and Bob Gotohy took another, to fill the bags. Bruce Faddis then took another base on balls, forcing across a lone tally for Brandis. Mike Wil liams, Lelco right fielder, then re tired the side when he caught a hard hit long ball for the third out. Lelco came right back to add another in the inning's bottom half. Tim Tyler took a base on balls, and then after two strike outs, Tony Trumbly raped a sin gle, followed by another base rap by Tom Tyler that scored Tim Tyler. Field Day Brandis went dry in Uie lop of the fifth. Lelco, however, had a field day. Steve Devereaux, Mike Williams. Tim Tyler, Pat Murphy, Dennis Murphy, and Tony Trumb ly all rapped base hits to keep the Lelco onslaught going. Trumb ly's and Tim Tyler's were dou bles. When the dust cleared at the end of the inning, Lelco had scored six more. It looked as if the lights went out on Brandis fortunes. A last ditch effort by the Brandis bombers produced two more tal lies, but the American League champions were too far behind. Lelco didn't come to bat in Uie Inning's bottom half. . .it was all over. Lelco won it 10-3. In that last frame, the Brandis midgets got things rolling when L. Barnett was hit by a pitched ball. Then after two Brandis bat ters went down swinging, Daryl McMeen rapped a single, follow ed by a slapped double by Dave Portlander out FLORENCE. S.C.
