Y.A. Tittle Takes
NFL Passing Title
NEW YORK (UPI) - Y. A.
Tittle of the New York Giants
had to try for 14 years but he
finally won his first National
Football League passing champ
ionship. It was an old familiar honor
for Jimmy Brown of the Cleve
land Browns, however, as he
regained the rushing crown he
prevously had won for five
straight seasons between 1057
and 1981. Brown's six rushing
championships are a league rec
ord. Abe Woodson of the San Fran
cisco Forty Niners was the only
one of last year's champions to
repeat, according to final sta
tistics released today by the
NFL. Ho won the kickoff re
turn title a record third time.
Besides Tittle, other new in
dividual champions were Bobby
Joe Conrad of the St. Louis
Cardinals in pass receiving;
placekicker Don Chandler of the
Giants in scoring; and Dick
lames of the Washington Red
skins in punt returns.
Dick Lynch of the Giants,
who won the pass interception
title in 1961, shared it this year
with Roosevelt Taylor of the
Chicago Bears. Each stole nine
passes.
Lary In Punting
Yale Lary of the Detroit Li
ons won his third NFL punting
rrown, although he missed near
ly the entire last half of the
season because of an injury.
Lary built up a 48.9-yard punt
ing average for 35 kicks and no
one could overtake him during
his idleness.
Tittle and Billy Wade of the
Bears, the rival quarterbacks
in the NFL's championship
playoff, Dec. 23, each will be
throwing against the league's
leading pass-snipers in Taylor
and Lynch.
The 37-year-old Tittle complet
ed 221 out of 367 passes for a
league high percentage of 60.2
and an NFL record 3fi touch
downs. Johnny Unitas of the
Baltimore Colts was second with
an NFL record 2:17 completions
and a season high of 3,401
yards.
Bart Starr of the Green Bay
Packers, last year's passing
champion, finished only seventh
this year, although his 10 inter
ceptions were fewest among the
regular quarterbacks.
League High
Jimmy Brown, the NFL's
first "milcr," gained 1,863 yards
In 201 carries for a league high
average of 6.4 yards per try.
Jim Taylor of the Packers, last
season's champ, finished second
with 1,018 yards. Brown and
Taylor were the only rushers to
top 1,000 yards.
Conrad caught 73 passes that
Rained 067 yards and produced
10 touchdowns. Bobby Mitchell
of the Redskins, last season's
Champion who wasrunncrup this
year, led the league in yardage
with 1,436 while Terry Barr of
the Lions, in third place, was
high in touchdown catches with
13.
Chandler scored 106 points on
18 field goals and 52 conversions
to edge Jim Martin of Balti
more by two points. Taylor, last
year's champ, did not finish
among this year's top 10.
Woodson became the first NF
player to win the kickoff return
title three times when he aver
aged 32.2 yards for 29 runbacks,
and James took over the punt
return leadership in the final
game of the season, averaging
13.4 yards on 16 runbacks.
West Clubs
Find Road
Play Tough
By United Press International
A group of battered West
Coast basketball teams today
could testify that wins come
tough on the road.
University of San Francisco
and Gonzaga were the major
teams to absorb defeats Tues
day night in a group of inter
sectional disasters.
The Dons, who excited a brief
flurry of interest when a na
tional magazine picked them
second best in the nation,
dropped their third straight
when Miami of Florida look a
95-83 win.
Rick Barry, who has scored
at a 34-point clip for the Hurri
canes, tossed in 35 against the
Dons. Ollie Johnson and Russ
Gumma hit 24 and 21 for USF.
The Dons probably have
enough stuff to win the West
Coast Athletic Conference, but
would seem a year away from
rating among the nation's elite
squads.
Gonzaga fell at Wisconsin,
115-71 as the Badgers broke the j
field house scoring record
against the Bulldogs. Five
Badgers were in double figures
while Elmer Deschainc sparked
Gonzaga with 18.
Wisconsin Wins
Oklahoma State, more famous
for its defensive brand of bas
ketball, also set a new scoring
mark by dumping Long Beach
Slate, 01-66, at Stillwater.
Tom Bell had 22 for San Die
go State, which fell befnte Ne
braska Wesleyan at Lincoln.
Score was 78-73.
And Lemoyne College blasted
Los Angeles State, 91-68, at Syr
acuse, N.Y.

Real Pro-Type Football
In East-West Conflict
By HAL WOOD ,
L'PI Sports Writer j
I SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -That
looks like a mighty inter
esting football game in the Cot-
ton Bowl on New Year's Day ;
'when the Republic of Texas!
! takes on the whole U.S. Navy, j
The Nebraska-Auburn battle 1
in the Orange Bowl looks good,
too. And the Illinois vs. Wash-
ington thing in the Rose Bowl
isn't bad. '
But the real, pro-type football
will be played on Dec. 28 in the
j Shrine East-West classic in San
f Francisco.
Whereas there may he a half
dozen boys dratted from ine
teams in each of the other
bowls, the National Fotoball
League has drafted 3(i of the 48
men who will be appearing in
the Shrine game. j
Checking The Rejects !
And they are after some of
the others that they overlooked j
during the drafting session.
The records show that seven
men who were drafted No. 1 by
the NFL will be competing in
the Shrine tilt. That's just half
of the 14 No. 1 selections un-1
less they've changed the style 1
of short division. '
Paul Martha, a fullback from
Pill, was picked No. 1 by the 1
Pittsburgh Steelers, natch. Paul
Warfield, Ohio State, was No. 1
for the Cleveland Browns; tack-1
le Carl Eller, Minnesota, was
the top choice of the Minnesota j
Vikings.
Pete Bcathard, USC quarter-'
back, was selected No. 1 by the I
Detroit Lions and signed with ,
Kansas City of the American i
Football League: Bill Munson,
Utah State signal-caller, was at
the top of the Los Angeles
Rams' list; Chuck Taylor, Ari
zona State halfback, was chosen
by the Washington Redskins;
and Dave Parks, Texas Tech,
was the top choice of the whole
draft being picked by the last
place San Francisco Forty Nin
ers. Red Shirts Also
Some of the boys were chosen
last year as "red-shirts," such !
as Mel Profit, who was picked
off the UCLA team as a high
choice of the Rams. j
So head coaches Jack Mollen-j
kopf of Purdue, for the East;
and .Jim Sutherland, Washing
ton State, leader of the West,
are practically busting their
buttons as they try to decide a
starting lineup.
"I guess we'll just have to
use Bcathard on defense," says
Sutherland.
This may come as a shock
to the Kansas City team which
drafted him as a possible signal-caller.
But the West has
two other good quarterbacks in
Don Trull, rcd-shirted last year
by Baltimore; and Munson, the
aforementioned top choice of
the Rams.
Sutherland also may use
Parks on defense.
Excels On Defense
"I know he's a fine offensive
player, but he also excels on
defense," says the coach, who
will be looking for a new job
come Feb. 1, 1964.
Tom Crutcher, a line-smashing
fullback at Texas Christian,

Dennis Butcher
Haunts Knicks
By United Press International
The New York Knickerbockers
were wondering today if per
haps they shouldn't have let
Donnis Butcher see a little more
action before they sent him to
Detroit in a trade.
Butcher, involved in a week
end trade between New York
and Detroit, returned to Madi
son Square Garden with his new
Piston teammates to haunt the
Knicks Tuesday night.
Detroit let Butcher play 44
minutes the longest single
game stint of his pro career
with these results: Butcher
scorde 17 point, pulled down
nine rebounds and played a key
role in the Piston's come-from-behind
victory.
Key Rebounds
He grabbed two key rebounds
in the last minute of play and
scored three of Detroit's final
five points as the Pistons over
came a six-point deficit in the
final seven minutes for a 107
lo:i victory.
In the opening game of a
Madison Square Garden doub
leheadcr, John Havlicek's 43
points sparked the Boston Cel
tics to a 131-114 win over the
Baltimore Bullets. The San
Francisco Warriors held off a
last period rally by the St. Lou
is Hawks for a 110-106 victory
in Tuesday's only other game.

Newspaper Advertising Scores
More Sales than Other Media
The nation's local advertisers invested S2.7 billion in newspapers last year.
That's six times as much as they spent in radio, nine times as much as in TV,
three times as much in newspapers as in all other major media combined!
Herman C. Nolen, president of McKesson & Robbins, Inc., puts it this
way: "We at McKesson feel that if you place an advertisement in a news
paper the result is -something happens. You get action."
If you want action, if you want results - use the daily newspaper.
