During Brenner's 17 years nf pairing fighters for the Garden and small clubs, in cluding St. Nicholas Arena and Brooklyn's Eastern Park way Arena, he ran into a few match-making difficul ties that made him grind his teeth. "But this holly-hurricane business." Teddy said today, "was the first time I ever felt like just throwing my hands at the ceiling and yell ing 'nuts'."

Tedeschi moans, "not Mims just a mi nute My wife wants to know when Mims was born what date of the month she's an astrologist. You phone Mims and get the date." 3:50 p.m. Brenner gets the telephoned information from a surprised Mims that Mims was horn on a Feb. 10. 4 p.m. Brenner phones Tedeschi the Feb. 10 date. Tedeschi tells his wife. "She is making a horoscope," he keeps Brenner posted. Then Tedeschi announces happily, "She says Hurricane will heat Mims so everything is okay-okay-okay! The fist is on!" Carter won a unanimous decision although he was un expectedly floored in the fourth round.

East meets West In San Francisco's Kezar Stadium, By NORMAN MILLER New York - HW - Jim Tay lor of the Green Bay Packers was a unanimous choice to day for the United Press In ternational 1962 National Football League All-Star team and tackle Roosevelt Brown of the New York Giants were chosen for the seventh straight year. Thd defending champion Packers dominate the tr-un with eight players, including four of their standout interior offensive linemen. The New York Giants, who meet the Packers In the NFL cham pionship game next Sunday, and the Detroit Lions each I placed five players. Only seven of the 14 teams are represented on this year's first team. The four other clubs which placed one player each are the Chicago Bears, Baltimore Colts, Los Angeies Rams and Washington Red skins. Every one of the 42 regular NFL writers (three from each league city) on the UPI selec tion panel cast his first-team vote for Taylor, who led the league this season in both rushing (1,474 yards) and in scoring (114 points on a rec ord 19 touchdowns). Tittle Receives 35 Votes The second most popular choice on Ihe team Is Y. A. Tittle, the bald. 35-ycar-old Giants quarter back who threw a record 33 touchdown passes. Tittle received 35 votes. Next are two members of the Lions' rugged defensive platoon, middle line - backer Joe Schmidt with 34 votes and tackle Roger Brown with 33. Five players on the offen sive platoon and eight on the defensive squad are repeaters from the 1961 honor squad. The "grand old men" of this group are Roosevelt Brown, 255 -pound offensive tackle who now has made every UPI loam since 1956; Gino Marchetti, 35-ycar-old Colts defensive end who was honored for the sixth consecu tive season, and Jimmy Pat- COULD TOP MARK By United Pren International Vancouver's Phil Maloney Is sailing along at a record breaking scoring pace this season. Latest league statis tics show the veteran star with 16 goals and 34 assists in 27 games His total of 50 points puts him slightly ahead of Guyle Fielder's pace when he set the league record of 122 points. ton, New York safety -man who was chosen for the fifth year in a row, Schmidt was named to the UPI first team for the sixth time in his NFL career, al though not consecutively; center Jim Ringn of the Packers for the fourth year In a row, and pnss-ratcher Del Shofner nf the Giants was selected for the fourth time, though not in succession. First Tim Selected Taylor, playing his fifth season in the NFL, never be fore had won a first-team berth. Five other players hon ored for the first time are: Flanker Bobby Mitchell of Washington, end Mike Dilka of Chicago, running back pick Bass of Los Angeles, the Lions' Roger Brown, and de fensive back Herb Adderley of Green Bay, who is only a second-year pro. This year the selectors for the first time were required to vote strictly according to the specialized position of a pro football team in action. That meant each member of the panel picked a quarter back, two running backs, two pass-catchers (flankers or split ends) and one tight end, the rugged lineman who doubles as a pass-catcher and blorker. The superbly balanced at laeking unit thus is made up of Tittle at quarterback; Tay lor and Bass, who set a Rams rushing record of 1,033 yards, at the running back positions; Mitchell, who caught a league-leading total of 72 passes, and Shofner, whose catches produced a league high of 13 touchdowns, as the pass-receiving specialists, and burly 230-pound Ditka at the tight end. The Interior line has Roose velt Brown and four Packers - tackle Forest Gregg, guards Jerry Kramer and Fred Thurston, and center Ringo. All five Detroit players honored were on the defen sive unit. Tackles Roger Brown and Alex Karras were in the front-line along with Marchetti and end Jim Kat cavage of the GianLs. Schmidt was flanked by Green Bay's outside linebackers, Bill For ester and Dan Currie; Dick (Night Train) Lane of the Lions was at a corner half back position with Adderley; and punter Yale Lary of De- troit was at safety with Pal-ton. The second team defensive platoon also included 12 play ers because of the close con tention for end positions. Kal- eavage edged Willie Davis of the Packers, 13 votes to 11, while Andy Robustelli of New York and Lou Michaels, rec ord - breaking placckicker, each had six votes. Jim Parker, who played of fensive tackle and guard for the ColLs this season, was another big - name player edged out of a first team berth. Parker's combined vote total of 20 for both positions left him one short of Green Bay's Thurston. There was still another close contest for a defensive cornerback position, where Lane beat nut Erich Barnes of the Giants, 16 to 15. Lexington, Ky.-OJPD-Cotlon Nash, the University of Ken tuckey's ?.ll-around star, and Rod Thorn of West Virginia were unanimous choices yes terday for the University of Kentucky Invitational Toura ment's All-Star team. Nash, who led the Wildcats lo the tournament til le with 57 points In two victories over Iowa and West Virginia, was chosen the tournament's most valuable player by sports writers and broadcasters. All 36 of the voters chose both Nash and Thorn each of whom scored 30 points as Kentucky edged the Moun taineers, 79-75, In the title game Saturday night. Thorn picked up 48 points In the two games this year and had 26 rebounds compar ed with Nash's 29. Chosen No. 3 on the all tourney team was Kentucky's Roy Roberts, who hit a career high of 19 points In the final game and was third In re bounding. Also chosen for the all tournament team were Terry Baker, Oregon State's Heis man trophy winner playing his first basketball since the end of the football season, and Tom Lowry of West Vir ginia, i 6-8 junior center. Others who received votes for the team were Jimmy Rodgers of Iowa, Jim Mr Cormick of West Virginia, Charles Ishmael of Kentucky, Scotty Baeser of Kentucky, Frank Peters and Mel Counts, both of Oregon State.
