Elliott
Scribes'
Selection
FRANKFURT (UPI)-Herb El
liott of Australia was named the
sportsman of 1958 today by a
panel of European sports editors
from both sides of the "Iron Cur
tain." The Aussie miler won the nod
from the panel (or two amazinc
feats-a 3:54.5 mile at Dublin's
aantry track on Aug. 6 and
3:M record for the 1.500 meter
run at Gothenburg, Sweden
Aug. 28.
In the six years that the Uni
ted Press International has hepn
polling European experts on their
sportsman of the year choice, it
was ine first time a European
athlete did not win the title.
The poll also reflected Austra
lia s emergence as a leading pow.
er in world sports. America's
continuity as a producer of great
champions, and Russia's sudden
decline in sports.
Elliott, who captivated Europe
an sports enthusiasts not only for
the records he set, but as well
for the ease and mastery he
showed in every race in which he
competed, won in a landslide, be
ing the pick of 39 of the 61 lead
ing sports writers who participa
ted in the poll. ,
Rater Johnson, the world de
cathlon record holder from Kings
bury, Calif., was second in the
balloting, getting nine first place
votes for an even 500 points. El
liott had 723 points according to
the point system used.
Australian swimmer Jon Kon
rads was third with four firsts
and 396 points, followed by Bra
zil's world champion soccer team
and Roger Rivierne, a French cy
clist. The Russians, whose Vladimir
Kuts won the sportsman's award
in 1956 and 1957, finished out of
the top 10 for the first time, wind
ing up with an aggregate point
total of 291 compared to the Aus
sie total of 1,317.

Giants Hope
Hughes Ready
NEW YORK (UPI) - The New
York Giants are hopeful that de
fensive back Jim Hughes will be
ready for Sunday's climactic game
against the Cleveland Browns.
Hughes missed last Sunday's
game against the Lions at Detroit
because of a sore neck but left a
hospital bed to work out with the
club Thursday. Following the work
out, ,the former Tulsa star said he
will "give it a try" against the
Browns.
However, two of the Giants'
o'her key operatives still are re
garded as doubtful starters. They
are Pat Summerall, the team's
place-kicking specialist, and Jack
Stroud, rugged offensive lineman.
; Because of the cold weather and
the frozen condition of the Yankee
Stadium turf, the Giants limited
Thursday's workout to an hour of
signal drills.

that we didn't have a great team
nor a good season but things
weren't so tough that we had to

Gary Kranenburg.
A pleasure to note that big Bob
Petersen, the 6-4 All-Stater on the
Pel squad has come into his own
as a team leader and an inspir
ation for his teammates. Last year
Bob was more content to sort of
lie back, avoiding the limelight
and saying very little. This year a
player who might inadvertently
slack off a bit in practice will
probably get the "word" from
Bob.
Real "comers" on the Pelican
varsity are Bob Lewis and Bill
Santo. For real desire to play, the
duo is hard to heat. Both will see
a lot of action before the season
gets much older. You'll pardon me
I trust, for an I told you so
Santo had his troubles at the
start of the season and came out
late . . . since he started though
he has been going full-bore.

This writer had the privilege of

players romping around on lawns

The Blv Bobcats seem to be hav-

one considers revamping record

senior Bobcat center, is making a
serious bid for something of

In three games Patzke has

Squad
Warms Up
PASADENA. Calif. UPD -
The Northeastern Oklahoma A&M
Golden Norsemen warmed up to
day for the battle against Santa
Monica City College in the 13th
annual Junior Rose Bowl game
Saturday.
"Warmed up" was not just
phrase because the Oklahomans
were fresh from a bout with be
low freezing weather in their
homeland Miami - Miami, Okla
homa, not Miami, Florida, that is.
as "Red" for obvious hirsute
reasons, said this about the weather:
"It was below freezing when
we left Miami," he said, "and
the boys practiced Saturday in
their long handles (underwear)
We wore heavy hunting jackets
when we weren t moving and you
can't imagine how great this sun
looks to us.
Robertson who stands 6 feet
inches and weighs 265 pounds was
not bothered about a weight ad
vantage which will be enjoyed
by his opponents. '
"We've been outweighed be
fore, he said. We won nine
straight this year and one team
had us beat 20 pounds to the
man. We also won nine last sea
son so we're now working on i
string of 18 straight wins."
The clement weather prompted
game sponsors to predict a new
record for attendance at the
game.
The standing mark is 57.132 set
in 1955 when Com-pton College ol
California defeated Jones College
of Mississippi.
The West has an edge in the
annual jaycee competition with
seven victories against four de
feats and one tie.
The East, however, has won the
last two games. Arlington State
of Texas beat Compton in 1956
and then repeated with a win
over Cerritos Junior College from
the Los Angeles area in 1957,

they have a whiz-bang of a pass

anchored by 215 - pound center
Ivory Jones. The Corsairs won
nine straight during the regular
season.
