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

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.

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.
Dr. Noojin said that at least
a third of the patients are
usually under ten years of
age. Although recovery is the
trnnpral rulp. occasionally en-
sephalitis, or inflammation of
of the brain, may develop as
a complication.

schedule in a way that de
lighted Florida fans and had
new coach Ray Graves beam
ing with pride.
A Gator . 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.
Gambling Pays Off
The gambling paid off but
Graves said it was the grit
which really gave Florida its
winning ways.
The players themselves "be
lieve they can win any game
they enter, he said recently
How could they lose with that
kind of determination, he ask
ed.
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.
Many Talented Halfbacks
Don Goodman and Jon Mac-
Beth share the fullback job,
and there are a flock of talent
ed halfbacks, including vet
eran Don Deal and rookies
Bob Hoover, Lindy Infante
and Dick Skelly.
Bulwarks in a sturdy, ex
perienced line are guard Vic
Miranda, a 208-pound senior,
center Bill Hood and end Pat
Patchen and Nick Arfaras.
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.
