'Quarterbacks Year'
Carried Out Farther
Than Was Foreseen
NEW YORK (UPI) - When
experts sagely labeled this the
"year of the quarterbacks,"
they didn't expect It to go this
far: The boys under the center
ire leading tne country in pass-
1MB, iiatuiauj, aiiu wvai vitcuoc,
which figured,
. 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.

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.
