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.
WORST INJURY
Portland-iUPli- Sprinter Har
ry Jerome said Tuesday night
the injury that handicapped
him in the British Empire
Games at Perth, Australia,
was probably his worst. Jer
ome made a brief stopover at
Portland International Air
port. He has a pulled muscle
in his left leg. He said he was
looking forward to returning
to classes at Oregon winter
term "and getting rid of this
injury."
WHITTLE HAS SUGERY
Corvallis -lUPli- Leroy Whit
tle, speedy Oregon State half
back, today was declared out
of the Liberty Bowl game in
Philadelphia Dee. 15 against
Villanova. Whittle under went
surgery Tuesday to repair a
torn knee ligament.

the Celts still picked up a
game over second place Syra

was held out of Tuesday
night's contest against Detroit.
He is nursing an injured
ankle.
The Cells played part of the
way with veteran Clyde Lov

the rest of the way Willi the
type of sizzling no-pivot fast

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.

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."
