Division
In Hectic
By NORMAN MILLER
UP! Sports Writer
Jimmy Brown rode to glory
by land and Y.A. Tittle through
the air, but rookie Ron Vnnder
kolcn scrambled his way to
fame, just like he did in the
last Rose Bowl game.
All In all, it was a hectic Na
tional Football League Sunday
that produced two records, two
tie games and the further tight
ening of both conference races.
Brown gained 179 rushing
yards in the Cleveland Browns'
24-10 victory over the St. Louis
Cardinals and set a new NFL
single-season record of 1,677.
He broke his own mark of 1,527
gained in 1958.

Crater High
CENTRAL POINT Turnout of
six lettermen and transfers
from Brookings and Oklahoma
and return of three matmen
with experience who were not
on the squad last year bolster
the hopes of the Crater High
Comets in wrestling.
Coach Jim Tacchini reports a
squad of some 35 boys including
a lot of sophomores and juniors
who have wrestled in the past.
Topping the list of returnees
are Steve J n r d e and Frank
Armstrong. Tacchini considers
them best hopes for district
honors. However, there s a
problem in that they are at the
same weight and are very even.
It's possible, therefore, that one
may wrestle at the next high
er weight class.
Other lettermen are John En
geli, Jim Pills, Don Kirkham
and Dave Anderson. Transfers
include Steve Wiege and Mike
Burnett. Back with the squad
after not participating last year
are Richard Tidemand, Dclliff
Kirkendall and Joe Meade.
Robert Bruce is a non-lelterman
senior.
The 90-pound class is a ques
tion mark but Butch Bray is
trying to make the weight by
next Wednesday's weigh-in
deadline. Engeli, last year's (IB
man, is a chief contender at 106
pounds and Bray will be there
if he docs not make the lighter
weight.
Man To Watch
At 115 pounds, Anderson,
Meade, and Tidemand arc pos
sibilities. There are quite a few
candidates at 123 but Wiege
from Brookings is reportedly
the man to watch. Meade is

By SANDY I'ADWE
UPI Sports Writer
Cincinnati, Duke and Wichita
made some vivid and lasting
impressions during the opening
weekend of the college basket
ball season.
Judging by their performanc
es against relatively strong
opening game opponents, the
three teams ranked second,
fourth and fifth in the nation-
should offer Loyola of Chicago
plenty of opposition for the na
tional title.
The Bearcats beat George
Washington, 101-65; Duke beat
Penn State, 92-62; and Wichita
defeated Wyoming, 82-67.
Ron Bonham hit on 11 or 16
shots from the field and had
31 points for Cincinnati while
teammate George Wilson helped
by collccling 14 points and 14
rebounds.
Jeff Mullins was Duke's lop
scorer with 25 points, but the
most impressive aspect of the
Blue Devil opener centered on
10 overcome a sensational per
formance bv Wyoming sopho

points.

?l',th annual convention of the
nation's largest amateur athlet
ic organization. .1. Stacey Sulli
van, president of the host Pa
cilic Southwest AAU, will be

Pittsburgh Stcclers and the
Philadelphia Eagles battled to
a 20-20 tie; the Baltimore Colts
trounced the Washington Red
skins, 36-20; and the Los Ange
les Rams defeated the San
Francisco Forty Niners, 21-17.
The Bears, with a record of
nine victories, one defeat and
two ties, compared to the
Green Bay Packers nine vic
tories, two losses and one tie
now cannot afford another de
feat.
VandcrKelcn got his chance
to play against the Bears when
Fran Tarkcnton was injured
early in the game. The former
Wisconsin star set up Minneso
ta's first touchdown with a 30-
yard pass to Gordon Smith.
VandcrKelcn then completed a
53-yard pass to Smith for the
first touchdown pass of his pro
career.
Rears Battle Back
The Bears battled back in the
second half, however, to wipe
out that 17-3 halftime deficit.
Billy Wade went over on a one
yard buck after a Viking punt
gave the Bears possession on
Minnesota's 49-yard line and
his eight-yard scoring pass to
Joe Marconi tied the game
with 7:49 remaining.
Jimmy Brown broke his rush
ing record with a 61-yard bolt
in the first period. He scored
two touchdowns on short car
ries to give the Browns a 21-3
halftime lead and they coasted
home from there. Frank Ryan
passed 23 yards to Rich Krcil
ling for Cleveland's first touch
down. New York, harrassed during
the first half by a fierce Dallas
defense and the rushing of Don
Perkins and Amos Marsh, bat
tled back from a 27-14 halftime
deficit to win. Three of Tittle's
passes were intercepted during
the first half before he rallied
the Giants.
A 24-yard field goal by Lou
Michaels with 40 seconds re
maining enabled Pittsburgh to
tie Philadelphia and remain in
the running. It was the Stcel
ers' third deadlock this season,
and second against the Eagles.
The Stcclers trailed 17-3 enter

Owens, his team and its host

San Francisco that the Huskies
had been picked for the Rose

representatives.
But Seattle let out a big sigh,
and Owens responded with a

from Hamilton while the Husky

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -Las
Vegas has been picked as
the site for the rich Sonny Lis
ton Cassius Clay heavyweight
title fight, it was learned Satur
day, and the date will be Feb.
24 or 25.
Announcement that the "$7
million fight" will be staged at
the attractive Las Vegas Con
vention Center on the last Mon
day or Tuesday of February
will be made early next week,
says an authoritative source.
Apparently Clay's Selective
Service board at Louisville, Ky.,
will grant him a February
chance to win the world heavy,
weight crown before inducting
the 21-year-old challenger into
service.
Contracts Signed I
Other cities that had been
bidding for the big fight were
Miami Beach, Los Angeles, Min
neapolis and Chicago.
Contracts for the 15-round
fight between Champion Liston
of Denver, Colo., and Clay of
Louisville were signed at Den

and date lo be chosen later.
Two factors gave the fight to
Las Vegas:
Liston likes Nevada's gamb

knocked out ex-champion Floyd
Patterson in the first round of
their return fighl, July 22.
A Vegas fight will leave all
