4 6 WEDNESDAY. Honors Flooded Gains Heisman Corvallis -WPD-Terry Baker, who has been breaking rec ords since his sophomore year at Oregon Stale, may have set another unofficial one. Perhaps no other athlete has received as many honors in one day as the Beaver quar terback collected in few hours Tuesday. In chronological order, Bak er: -Was named first team quarterback on the Ail-American Football Coaches associa tion. -Was assured of one more college football game when the Beavers accepted an Invi tation to play Villanova Dec, 15 in the Liberty Bowl at Philadelphia. -Was named winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy as the nation's outstanding col lege football player, the first player ever from the West Coast to get the award. -And was chosen by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame as the out standing scholar-athlete on the West Coast. In addition, Oregon State said it would retire his jersey - No. 11. It all adds up to a strenuous three weeks between now and Dec. 15 for the senior quarter back who led the nation in total offense with 2,275 yards this season. Baker was called from a class by OSU athletic director n. S. (Spec) Keene and told he had won the Heisman award. I'm A Lucky Boy "No kidding? That's great. I'm a very lucky boy," he said. Then, "I've got to get back to class." An interest in going to class while he can now is natural. Baker is due in New York Monday night to receive the scholar-athlete award. He and the other members of the coaches' All - America team will appear on the Ed Sulli van television show. Wednes day he will receive the Heis man Trophy, given by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York. And looming over Baker and all other B'iver players is the fact that the Liberty Bowl game falls at the end of fall tcrrri final examination week at Oregon Stale. Baker, who has a 3.04 grade point average, must get most of his exams out of the wav before the Beavers leave for Phila delphia.

Baker; Trophy Joe Adcock Back With Old Boss By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Rochester, N.Y. -OJPD- Joe Adcock, key figure in a five man deal, was back with his old boss, Bi'die Tebbetts, to day because the new Cleve land manager remembered "he never once quit on me" in Milwaukee. Thus, in a nutshell, Tebbetts explained the "motivating fac tor" behind a trade in which the Indians acquired Adcock and southpaw Jack Curtis from the Braves for reliever Frank Funk, outficder Don Dillard and player to be named later. Curtis was promptly assigned to Jackson ville of the International league. It was Cleveland's third deal of the baseball meetings and the Detroit Tigers kept pace by making their third trade when they sent third baseman Steve Boros to the Chicago Cubs for righthanded pitcher Bob Anderson. Tebbetts said he was "over joyed" over the acquisition of the 35-year-old Adcock, whose .248 average with the Braves last season was his lowest in 1 1 years. "Never Dogs It" "I admire Adcock because he's one of the few ball play ers I have ever known who never has taken a short step," Birdie said. "He may not be the fastest runner in the world but I have never seen him dog it even once. He gives 100 per cent of himself all the time. "He will be my first base man, period..' Despite the decline In his average, Adcock made a re spectable long-ball showing with Milwaukee this year by hitting 29 homers and driving in 78 runs in 121 games. "I think he'll like the lcft ficld fence in Cleveland," Teb betts said with obvious relish.

Kilpatrlck, Chlcaoo 41 wmwiKi' ii i in ma TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Wilkinson Given UPI Citation Norman, Okla. -HIPP- One day last summer, Oklahoma football Coach Bud Wilkinson surprised his army of follow ers by announcing that he was very optimistic about his team's chances this season. "We have people on our squad wilh more ability than we've had in three or four years and I really feel our team has a chance to play well this season," he said. "I think we have a squad with a chance to improve rapidly as the season progresses." This was certainly welcome news to dedicated Oklahoma football fans who had watched their Sooners tumble from a perennial power to obscurity within their own conference. But even they were not fully prepared for what happened. After losing two of its first three games and looking like anything but the team that was supposed to be a national contender in another year, Oklahoma suddenly found it self. With an awesome blend of explosive offense and her culean defense, Oklahoma shocked six straight foes-shutting out four in a row-and romped unruffled to the Big Eight Conference champion ship and the Orange Bowl. The man behind this amaz ing resurgence, capped by Sat urday's 34-6 win over Nebras ka, was, of course, Bud Wil kinson, the 46-year-old grey haired genius of the gridiron named today by United Press International as college foot ball "Coach of the Week."
