Tier S. 1IS PAGE NINE Brown Unanimous Choke Of Writers NEW YORK AP) Jarring Jimmy Brown was the only un animous selection in the Balti more and New York-dominated 1959 all-pro football team picked for The Associated Press by NFL writers today. The explosive fullback of the Cleveland Browns, who led the league in rushing for the third successive season, was named to the first team on all 37 ballots. Ray Berry, Baltimore's brilliant end, and Sam Huff, New York's redoubtable linebacker, missed out on one ballot. The Colts and Giants, who meet (or the NFL championship in Bal- UW Stock Going Up, Note Fans PASADENA, Calif. (API-Washington football stock, never low, took a healthy rise today in the eyes of Big Ten observers. It came after a socking scrim mage the Huskies put on at their Long Beach training site Tuesday with the press, both West and Midwest looking on. The Wisconsin Badgers, well ahead of Washington in Rose Bowl preparations, worked less strenu ously. Badger Coach Milt Bruhn scheduled a drill for this morn ing and dismissed the Big Ten champions for an afternoon at Disneyland. Jim Owens, the Husky mentor, continued a strict program of con ditioning. Where Wisconsin en joyed ideal training weather at Madison before flying west, Washington lost valuable time due to rainy weather at Seattle. If Tuesday was an indication, the Huskies will make up the lost time. After a morning drill, Owens kept Washington at work for al most three hours late Tuesday, in cluding a scrimmage that had the offensive team running out every play for the full yardage it could gain. "Frankly, I was impressed," said football writer Oliver Kue chle of Milwaukee, who has cov ered Wisconsin's grid teams since 1923. "Washington is a real good foot ball team," said Fred Gage, Madison radio sports expert and a former Badger star himself in 1938-39-40. It was their first look at the Huskies. Boston Celts Extend Streak By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Are the Boston Celtics ever go ing to lose another National Bas ketball Assn. game? Sure, but no one in the league is willing to say when. The champion Celtics stretched their winning streak to 13 games Tuesday night by blasting the De troit Pistons, 136-104. The triumph also enabled the Celtics to extend a streak within a streak. This was the 10th game in a row they've won from the Western division clubs. Now the Celtics are approach ing the all-time NBA record for consecutive victories, The record is 18 set by the defunct Washing ton Capitols in 1946-47. In the other game of the De troit double-header, the New York Knickerbockers turned back the Cincinnati Royals, 127-119. The Pistons gave the Celtics a fight until the second period was four minutes old. At that time, the Pistons were leading 48-47. But K.C. Jones erupted for 8 points and Tom Heinsohn pitched in with and by intermission the Celtics were ahead, 68-58. They had no trouble the rest of the way. Bill Sharman paced the winners with 26 points, Bailey Howell had 25 for Detroit. The New York-Cincinnati game was tied at 109-109 with four min utes to go when Charlie Tyra found the range for two baskets foi the Knicks. Jack George add ed a half dozen points and the Knicks pulled out of range. Ken ny Scars and George led the Knicks with 24 points each. Yakima Apples To Aid Huskies YAKIMA. Wash. (AP) Foot ball fans In the apple growing Yakima Valley have a new theory on why West Coast teams don't do so well against Big Ten squads in the Rose Bowl. It's all those oranges they eat, (aid the Monday Morning Quar terbacks of Yakima Tuesday. So 5,500 apples, more than a ton. were sent off to Long Beach Calif., to sustain the University of Washington Huskies as they drill for their Jan. 1 encounter with Wisconsin. Local fruit companies donated the-apples after hearing the ton jrue-ln-cheek suggestion ol the football boosters' group. timore Sunday, captured 12 of the 22 positions on the offensive and defensive squads. Baltimore landed seven berths and New York five. Cleveland, San Fran cisco and the Chicago Bears took iwo each and Los Angeles, Green Bay, Detroit and Pittsburgh one apiece. Brown s backfield mates includ ed Johmiy Unitas, the peerless passer; Lennie Moore, his Balti more teammate, and Frank Gif ford, the Giants superlative triple threat. Del Shofner of Los Angeles, who vied with Berry for league pass catchina honors, won the other end berth on the offensive squad. Jim Parker, the 270-pound Colt tackle, headed a devastating line that included Rosey Brown of the Giants in the other tickle posi tion Green Bay's Jim Bingo at center, and guards Stan Jones of the Bears and Jim Ray Smith of the Browns. The defensive line with Huff as the spearhead included Gino Mar chetti of Baltimore and Andy Ro bustelli of New York at ends, Gene 'Big Daddy) Lipscomb, Bal timore's man mountain, and San Francisco's Leo Nomellini at tackles. Bill George of the Bears at middle guard and linebacker Joe Schmidt of the Lions. The defensive backfield consist ed of Jimmy Patton of the Gi ants, Andy Nelson of the Colts Jack Butler of the Steelers and Abe Woodson of the 49ers. The second team included such outstanding performers as Alan Ameche and Art Spinney of the Colts; Ray Wietecha, Chuck Con- erly and Rosey Grier of the Gi ants; Mike McCormack and Walt Michaels of the Browns; Bobby Layne, Dean Derby, John Reger and Jimmy Orr of the Steelers; Tommy McDonald and Tom Brookshier of the Eagles; Forest Gregg and Paul Homung of the Packers; Frank Fuller of the Cards; Les Richter and Lou Michaels of the Rams: Yale Lary of the Lions; and Bruce Bosley and J. D. Smith of the 49ers. The biggest man on the first team is Lipscomb, the only mem ber of the squad who didn't go to college. He joined the Colts after graduating from Miller High in Detroit. At 6-6 and 288, he is the bulwark of the Colts' defensive line. Nomellini, Lipscomb's count-1 erpart, is a mere 255. The former Minnesota great. 32 is the veter an of the squad. Shofner, Brown and Woodson, 23, are the young est. Patton and Nelson, at 180 pounds, are the lightest. Cuban Faces Ring 'Must' MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - This is the one Luis Rodriguez has to win, and he knows it. The unbeaten welterweight from Camaguey, Cuba, ranked No. 2 among the challengers, meets third ranked Garnet (Sugar) Hart in the 10-round main event of the fight show at the Miami Beach Auditorium to night. If Rodriguez wins and he's a 2-1 favorite he is in a direct line for a shot at Don Jordan's world championship. And if Jordan doesn't defend his crown within the six-month period of grace which expires in January, Rodri guez ' would be the logical man to ascend to the throne. This js the reasoning of promot er Chris Dundee, who says he has offered Jordan's manager, Don Knesscth, $50,000 to meet the winner of tonight's fight, but has received no reply. Dundee said he had tried to make the bout, which will be na tionally televised over the ABC network starting at 10 p.m. lESTt, a 12-round affair, but it1 was too late to make the change. In his last three fights Rodri guez defeated Isaac Logart, Lar ry Baker and Rudell Stitch. After a knockout at the hands of Char-! Icy Scott, Hart defeated Logart by decision and kayocd Willie Johnson in the first round. Late Rally Wins For WSU Quint TUCSON, Ariz.

(AP)-Oregon Tuesday night won a second straight victory over San Jose State, this one 58-45, and today turned toward preparation for the Far West Classic opening Satur day at Corvallis. The Webfoots, now 6-1 for the season, will meet the university of Denver in their first game of the Corvallis basketball tourney Oregon, which defeated San Jose Monday night 56-41, had to work for the second victory. It wasn't until the last 6 minutes that the Oregon team finally gain ed a strong edge. The shooting of senior Chuck Rask almost single-handedly kept Oregon ahead in the early stages of the game. He scored his team's first 9 points and finished with a total of 13. Oregon led only 20-18 at the half- time. During the last nine min utes of that period they were without a field goal. The Webfoots led 42-38 with six minutes and 45 seconds left. Dale Herron and Charlie Warren then each dunked a field goal to make it 46-38 and put Oregon on the road to a 17-point edge and an easy road to victory. It was Oregon sophomore Glenn Moore, a 6-foot-7 lad from Klam ath Falls, who led scorers with 20. San Jose State's Joe McGrath sank 14. McCheshev Named ABILENE, Tex.

Thursday morning at 10 the Pels come back to Pelican Court for a two-hour session, then rest over the holiday. Saturday morning they will again return at 10 and follow through drills at 10 Monday, 2 Tuesday, 10 Wednesday and 10 Thursday. For the most part the squad is in good shape, but Freddie Biehn, junior guard, will miss a few ses sions because of a run-down con dition and a re-injury of his elbow. Paul Bishop, the Pels scoring leader, although not ailing enough to miss practice, has been slowed considerably by a bad cough. Bishop has collected 106 points over the six-game route for a 17.7 per game average. He has hit 43 field goals and 20 from the free throw line. His closest, competition comes from big Bob Lewis who has 22 field goals, 14 free throws and an average of 9.7. Senior guard Dean Dunson is running close to Lewis with 54 points and 9.0 mark.

Other teams in The Associated Long Future Nearly Cinch For Elliott CHAMPAIGN, 111. (API-Pete Elliott has a one-year contract as football coach at Illinois but the former Michigan star who has coached at Nebraska and Califor nia can look forward to a long tenure. Elliott will be Illinois' third coach in 47 years. During that time the university has had a half dozen presidents. The late Bob Zuppke painter, wit and upset master held the reins from 1913 through 1941. Ray Eliot did the coaching from 1942 through last season. Zuppke, a great succcs In his first two decades, won only two championships following the de parture of Red Grange, those coming in 1927 and 1928. From 1930 until the end of his coaching days Zup never came close to a title except for a third place fin ish in 1934. Eliot had an 81-74-11 mark in 18 seasons, which included two championships, one tie for the title and two Rose Bowl victories Like Zuppke, Eliot could bring his boys up for that one big upset victory just when disaster ap peared on the horizon. Pete Elliott, 33, a native of near by Bloomington,' 111., inherits a team which finished with a 5-3-1 record and was regarded one of the strongest in the conference when the season ended. Ray Eliot, who becomes assis tant athletic director by choice, said "He'll have vetorans at some positions and some others may be weak." Probably the most interesting factor concerning Pete's appoint ment as Illinois coach is that he and Michigan's Bump Elliott make up 'the first brother head coaching act in the Big Ten. Pete, now the youngest coach in the Big Ten Bump is 34 docs not come to Illinois with any "boy wonder" tag. In four years as a head coach in top college jobs, he has an un impressive 14-27 record.

That's more important to them than anything." . . . I told them not to worry about him iSebastlan), that he wasn't worried about them.
