(UPI Telephoto) Oilers Place Five On AFL's All-Star By NORMAN MILLER New York - (UPD - Abner Haynes, the Dallas Texans' versatile 185-pound halfback, was the outstanding choice to day on the first American Football league All-Star team selected by United Press In ternational! The Houston Oilers, who won the Eastern division title, placed five players on the 22 man two-platoon squad select ed for UPI by the votes of 24 writers - three from each league city. The Los Angeles Chargers, whom the Oilers meet in the championship playoff at Hous ton next Sunday, were repre lented by four players. Haynes was one of nine Scientists Tackle Wide Assortment Of Problems New York - (UPD - Some of America's keenest scientific brains were occupied today with moon exploring, street fighting juveniles, and the dis tressing things city dwellers are doing to farming commu nities. ' They were among the wide assortment of scientific brains assembled here for-the 127th meeting of the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science. Since the moon exploring was plotted mainly in mathe matics, a scientific answer to big city street gangs was more immediately practical. This answer is to treat the gang leaders as "psychos." Dwellers Spilling Out A land-use scientist from California presented a prob lem which exists wherever there are cities bursting at their seams. City dwellers are spilling out over agricultural areas. Karl J. Belser of Santa Clara county spoke of the plight of California whose population will double in the next 20 years and triple by the year 2,000, according to, statistical projections. And 9) per cent of this population ex plosion will be in the cities. Already Santa Clara coun ty's fabulous rich farm lands are being swallowed into the metropolitan complex of San Francisco, and that goes also for farm lands of Los Angeles and Orange counties. He urg ed governmental intervention to preserve prime farm lands for food growing. The government might buy the land and regulate its us age. Or it could be left in private hands but restricted to agricultural use. One way to do that would be defer some portion of annual taxes as long as the land was farm ed. All deferred taxes would become immediately due if the land was bought to be di vided into building lots. 4-H NEWS Fortitry Squirrels The Elk-Trail 4-H Forestry Squirrels met Dec. 14 at Mabel Hansons for their club meeting and Christmas party.

Cats May Carry Scratch Disease r.hiraen Cats mav betinno- cent carriers of cat scratch disease without ever baring their claws. The cause of this skin dis ease may be a filtrable virus, Dr. Ray O. Noojin of the Uni vnriitv nf Alahama medical center, Birmingham, told the American Academy or uerma tology and Syphilology here. Dr Nnniin said manv per sons break out with the dis- eace after merely coming into contact with a cat without ac fnallv hpinff scratched. The disease tends to develop in two weeks after the patient ha noted a cat scratch or at least been in contact with a cat. Symptoms include fever, hnAarho thillc and nnSSlhlV a generalized skin eruption. The disease is characterized by the appearance of pimples or nodular sores, followed by involvement of the lymph glands.

Bowl victory, against Baylor of the South west conference, would make the year complete for Graves, wrapping up his first season as a head coach on his 42nd birthday, Dec. 31. Florida finished its regular season with an 8-2 record, the best since 1929, and a 5-1 mark in the Southeastern Con ference putting the Gators in second place in final SEC standings behind mighty Mis sissippi. No Bowl Stranger Although this was Graves' first year on his own, he is no stranger to bowl action. During a 13-year span as as sistant to Georgia Tech Coach Bobby Dodd, Graves helped direct several teams which saw post-season duty. To Florida he brought a wide-open pro - type offense which didn t hesitate to gam ble when the situation de manded taking a risk. This became apparent early in the season when the Gators went for two points and made them or an 18-17 upset over Georgia Tech in the final seconds of the game. Florida also scored upsets against Georgia and Louisiana State, with losses to Auburn and Rice. The Gators' other wins came against George Washington, Florida State, Vanderbilt, Tulane and arch rival Miami.

Sophomore Larry Libertore, a bantam-sized quarterback at 138 pounds, is an expert ball handler, good runner and Florida's most consistent threat. But by no means is he the only one. He shares signal - calling chores with sophomore Bobby uofld Jr., son of the famed Georgia Tech coach. Young uodd is an excellent passer.

However, Arfaras will bo lost to the team for the Gator Bowl game because of injuries received in an automobile ac cident Sunday. His place will be taken by Tom Smith, who played in last year's game against LSU. The team should be at peak physical condition for the Ga tor Bowl for the first time since early in the season. in previous Gator Bowl games, Florida beat Tulsa, 14- 13, In 1953, and lost to Mis sissippi, 3-0, in 1958.
