But they're ' also on top In punting, which is a surprise. have been among the leaders all year in kickoff runbacks, place kicking and scoring, which is a bigger surprise and now, of all things, threaten to taxe over tne country in rush' ing, too. - Today's NCAA Service Bu- reau statistics show Gale Say, ers leading the rushers and he, predictably, is a halfback. But wait a minute! Right behind Sayers, in good position to overhaul the leader, is Jimmy Sidle of Auburn and he is a T-quarterback. Sayers has a 14 yard lead over Sidle and one game to play (Missouri). Sidle has two games to play (Florida State and Alabama) and is the only one of the rushing leaders who has been averaging more than 100 yards per game. If Sidle comes through, he will be the first rushing cham pion in history who wasn't a naunacK or tuimacK. in fact, a quarterback has never so much as contended for the title. Don Trull, Baylor quarter back, is the leader in passing and total offense, and the punt ing leader is SMU's Danny Thomas, another quarterback. Trull's sprint to the top In passing also puts him in sight of couple of records, his I860 air yards leaves him 145 short of the major record of 2005 by Nevada's Stan Heath In 1948 and he's only 17 completions short of the all-time record of 159 by Don Klosterman for Los Angeles Loyola in 1951. With two more games, Trull seems certain to knock over both rec ords since he's averaged 232.5 yards and 17.5 completions per outing. A new challenger soared up to mildly threaten Trull's hold in passing. He's utan state's Bill Munson, who also holds the distinction of being the only thrower who s fired more than 101 times with fewer than three interceptions. But Munson has only one game to play and the real threat if any to Trull is Miami, Florida's George Mira, who has three games left (Trull has two) to make up a 36 completion deficit, Likewise in total offense, leader Trull, fourth place Jack Concannon of Boston College, fifth place Sidle and eighth ranked Henry Schichtle . of Wichita all have two games left, while 10th ranke j Mira has three. Oregon State's Gordon Qwen, 21st on the completions ladder, has fired 16 touchdown passes, two more than anyone else and more than anyone has thrown in 10 years except Charley Johnson of New Mexico State (now with the St. Louis Cardi nals of the NFL), who flipped 18 in 1959. Queen has one game left and it figures to produce some long range bombing. He'll be firing against Oregon Mate and Bob Berry, who is down in ' I6lh place in completions, but is third in yardage with 1426. And he has thrown 14 touchdown passes, tied for second with California's Craig Morton. Concannon spurted into the total offense race (for second place, apparently), with 299 to tal offense yards against Vir ginia to zoom from 12th to fourth. The biggest pickup in rushing was by Marshall's Jack Mahone, not - a quarterback, who went from 17th to fifth with the season's biggest lug ging harvest, 224 yards.

The speaker was Lcn Casa nova. The quarterback is Ore gon's Bob Berry. Casanova told sports writers and broadcasters Tucsdiiy that "Berry is an All-American in my book even though he won't make It this year."' The Oregon coach added that he thought Berry was a better all-around player than Navy's Roger Maubaeh although the latter may be a hotter passer. He saw movies of Navy's game with West Virginia.

Watch Out for Wichita In New Hoop Campaign, Teams Told in Midlands EDITORS: The following is another in a series of dis patches siting up college bas ketball prospects in various sections of the country. By JACK BRANNAN KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) -Watch out for Wichita. That's the new warning being sounded by basketball coaches throughout the Midlands before the season even opens. Even Cincinnati Coach Ed Jucker, whose teams have dom inated the Midlands since 1958, agreed that the reign of his po tent Bearcats apparently ended when they lost their bid for a third consecutive NCAA cham pionship last March to Loyola of Chicago. "Wichita should lead the whole parade in ,the Midlands now," said Jucker. Whether Wichita can rule the Midlands with the iron hand that Cincinnati wielded is yet to be determined. But coaches in both the Missouri Vallev and the Big Eight conferences, dur ing a recent meeting nere, agreed that Wichita is the team to beat. In the Big Eight Conference, the coaches indicated they are most concerned about the poten tial of Kansas State and Okla homa State. Eyes On Wichita ' But the eyes of the Midlands coaches are on Wichita as a team and on 6-feet-7 Dave Stall worth as an individual. Stall- wortn is the lad who led Vfi chita to a 19-8 record last sea son, good for sixth place in the unai ima national rating,' and to two stunning upsets over no lesser teams than Loyola of uiicago and Cincinnati. Wichita loses, only center Wayne Durham next season, al though guards Leonard Kelley and Ernie Moore will be avail able for only one semester each. Cincinnati, on the other hand, loses Tom Thacker, his fellow playmaker Tony Yates, and Larry Shingleton. Bonham and 6-feet-8 center George Wilson will be back, however, and Jucker has a strong crop of sophomores. The Big Eight coaches saw no particular favorite in their league, which they feel will be stronger. But Oklahoma Slate Coach Hank Iba sounded a warning of his own. "We have a lot nf potential," he believes. "This is the best squad we've had since we en tered the league." Oklahoma State returns its top four scorers, including All- i-onierence guard Larry Hawk, from the team that posted a 16-9 record last season. Kansas State and Colorado, which currently share the Big Eight championship, both have All-Conference players return ing. But Colorado, the nation's ninth-ranked team in 1963, lost Big Eight player-of-the-year Ken Charlton. Colorado still has Jim Davis, another All-Conference selection and Kansas State has All-Conference Willie Murrell. Both are forwards. Tex Winter of Kansas State, Dick Harp of Kansas and Bob Vanatta of Missouri said their Spark Given By Ramsey By United Press International The Boston Celtics have found a man to fill Bob Cousy's sparkplug role. He's veteran Frank Ramsey who Tuesday night broke a close game between the Celtics and the New York Knickerbock ers wide open. The Knicks stayed close to the Celtics through most of the first quarter until Ramsey en tered the game and scored nine points in a minute and 49 sec onds. Boston then coasted to a 126-98 victory over New York in the second game of a Na tional Basketball Association doubleheader at New York's Madison Square Garden. In the opener, Oscar Robert son scored 32 points and paced the Cincinnati Royals to a 127 102 win over the Detroit Pis tons. In the only other game played the San Francisco War riors continued their red-hot scoring spree with a 129-96 vic tory over the St. Louis Hawks. GIANTS REHIRE OWEN I NEW YORK (UPD-The New1 York football Giants have re- i hired Steve Owen, who coached j the team for 23 years, to scout; college football players in the East. I Owen, who was noted as a great defensive coach and was the Innovator of the A-forma-tlon, will work under Jim Lee Howell, the Giants' director o( player personnel.
