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

"EveryUiing went about just as

referring to Wednesday's events.
"There were no upsets and we
are pleased with the way things
turned out." (The Yanks scored
1-2 sweeps in five of the eight
events they won).
The U.S. squad took a 64-42
