Rookies From Nowhere Making Top Pro Stars By OSCAR FRALEY I'PI Sports Writer NEW YORK LPH-The won derful nonsense entailed in the annual selection of All-America football teams is pointed up to day by the rookies from nowhcr battling for berths in National Football Lague training camps. Annually the All-America teams are composed of players from the najor football foundries. Those selected come from the big-time head-knocking schools and, if not, even a combination Bronco Na-gurski-Jim Thorpe couldn't get honorable mention. It's a payoff on publicity, pure and very simple. The pros, of course, latch hap pily onto the "name" Mi-Americans because of the manner in which they can be exploited at the gate. But the NFL rosters are a true indication of player worth and show clearly how the Dro scouts bird doc thpir wav through the boondocks in search 01 true talent. Receives N'p Votes How many All-America votes, now, do you suppose were re ceived last fall by tackle Lucian Heeberg of Hampton Institute? That's right. None. But this six foot, four inch 285-pounder is right there with the Detroit Lions. Along with players from St. Ben edict, Huron College and Jackson State. What about Larrv Davis nf Whitewater State? Maybe you never heard of him but he's a 250-pound guard up with the Los Angeles Rams, which also has players from generally anony mous seats of learning such as Xlc.N'eese State. New Mexico High lands and Heidelberg. The odds are that tackle Jerry Wedemcier of Winona Slate, de spite his 255 pounds, never had his name on many ballots but he's right there with the headline boys in the Minnesota Viking en tourage And with him are bruis ers from St. Thomas, Southern Connecticut State, Jackson State, Whitworth and Parsons College. Unless you're a member of his family, mavbe you don't know six foot, six inch tackle Ernie De- courley of Morehead State. But the San Francisco 49ers knew enough to grab him. Along with fullback Dick Lopour of Huron, Clay Becomes Top Contender NEW YORK (UPH - Mouthy Cassius Clay became top heavy, weight contender today in The Ring magazine's latest ratings because of champion Sonny Lis ton's repeat first-round knockout over ex-champ Floyd Patterson. Liston was named Fighter of the Month" in recognition of his 2:10 kayo over Patterson in their return fight at Las Vegas, Ncv., July 22. And Floyd was dropped from first to fourth among contenders. fli-nKc ai-na Manrfl nnH U'atprl nf the 50 states of the Union is 3,61o.000 square miles. and to give you a tip, that's in South Dakota and h?s 500 stu dents. Steele Have Bailey Alcorn AitM, for your infor mation, is in Lorman, Miss., but its 250-pound Tom Bailey is up with the Pittsburgh Steelers along with such unrecognized All-Amer icans as players from St. Thomas, Bethune-Cookman and North Cen tral. And so it goes all -the way through the rosters . . . Ventura Grambling . . . Santa Monica City College . . . Allen U. . Hampton . . . Humboldt State . Arlington State . . . Jackson State . . . Hastings'. . . Hartnell . Morris Brown . . . Valparaiso . Philander Smith ... St. Olaf . Arnold . . . East Jackson State . . . and Clarion. They just never got the clarion call in the headlines but the pros found them and, usually, tried to hide these backwoods blockbust ers from each other until they were labeled in the draft. It proves rather conclusively that a horde of outstanding play ers are ignored at All-America time. U.S. Senator Estes Kefau- ver summed it up rather adroitly when he was running for vice president. "I was a member of the squad at Tennessee," he said. "When I first ran for office, I found 1 had been a first stringer. When 1 ran for the Senate, 1 discovered I had been all-conference. But I didn't make All-American until 1 ran for vice president." Amen. "; HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Oregon Wednesday, July 31, 1963 PACE 1 B 4' v t- iff "h. TABLEMATES ARE HOISTED Ed Budde of Michigan Stale was so elated at being elected co-captain of the All-Star team that will face the Green Bay Packers in Soldier Field in Chicago Friday night, that he hoisted his tablemates, Jim, left, and Jerry Owens into the air during the All-Star luncheon in Chicago. Budde, 6-5 and 260 pounds, plays offensive guard. UPI Telephoto Klamath's Morrison Wins MEDF0HD; (UPP-Mike Miller of Medford defeated Bob Rennie of Eugene with a par on the sec ond hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the junior boys' division in the Southern Oregon Junior Golf Tournament Tuesday. Miller and Rennie finished with 148s in the two-day, ,16-hole event. Doug Olson and Rich Knight, both of Medford, finished in third and fourth places with 153 and 154. Miller's brother, Greg, took the boys' division with 153. Stan Smith of Roseburg was second at 155. Other winners in the tournament College All-Stars Set For Ailing Green Bay at the Rogue Valley Country Club were Sue Lance, Woodland Hills, Calif., junior girls' division; Bar bara Saunders, Grants Pass, girls, and Reed Morrison, Klamath Falls, peewee boys. By United Press International The defensive unit of the Col lege All-Stars should enjoy Satur day morning a good deal more than their predecessors of last year. That's the day after the rookie pros test the rugged Green Bay Packers in the mid-summer clas sic. Last year the collegians spent most of the evening trying to re strain the hardest running back field In the country, and the greater part of the next day nursing their aches and pains. But this year Paul Hornung has been deleted from the Packer cast as the result of an indefinite sus pension, and bruising fullback Jim Taylor is not running up to his usual standard. Taylor, who suffered a strained knee ligament last Saturday proved that the injury still both ers him in Tuesday's workout, and is expected to see only part time action against the All-Stars Friday night. Linebacker Ray Nitschke, another doubtful start er, still was in die hospital for a back injury he sustained last Thursday. Other Packers OK The rest of the Packers, how ever, remain hale and hearty, which usually is enough to inti midate anyone. The Minnesota Vikings did "lots of running" and worked on play execution in preparation for a controlled scrimmage game Sat urday night, while Bill McPcak of tile Washington Redskins took special notice of his rookies as (he 'Skins concentrated on fundamen tal drills. Of particular satisfac tion to McPeak was the work of Jim Turner and Randy Hutto. The Baltimore Colts found rook ie fullback Roy Walker back on their doorstep Tuesday after the former Purdue star had gone "AWOL" last Thursday. Walker, who went home without an ex planation, gave no reason for his actions. Although coach Don Shula planned disciplinary action against him, Walker was expect- Former Oregon Star Is Dead EUGENE i UPI' - A funeral service was held Tuesday for for mer University of Oregon football player Irvin F. Schulz. Schulz, 54, was captain and guard on the 1931 Oregon grid squad. He also played in 1929 and 1930. A spokesman for the university said the lrv Schulz Football Schol arship Fund would be established in his memory. Schulz was in the automotive business here for many years. The steeplechase originated In England as a diversion from fox hunting. ed to resume practice today. The Detroit Lions were still ex periencing personnel problems. Defensive halfback Dick (Night Train) Lane and Dick LaBeau signed their 1963 contracts, but (our veterans, including All-Pro linebacker Joe Schmidt, stitt are holding out. Browns Practiced Blitz The Cleveland Browns spent most of their practice session ex ecuting and handling the blitz, and various methods of rushing the passer. Coach Blanton Collier indicated he was particularly sat isfied with the blocking of the of fensive backfield. Meanwhile over in the Ameri can Football League, the Buffalo Bills, darkhorse contenders for Eastern Division honors, spent a long time on their aerial game with quarterbacks Jackie Kemp and Daryle Lamonica displaying excellent precision. The Denver Broncos, preparing for their first exhibition game of the year with the Houston Oilers on Saturday night, acquired Bill Miller, a 6-foot-S, 262-pound guard, from the Oilers for a 1964 draft choice. The Broncs also released rookies Ken Blair, Jim D'Alesio, and Jim Hilles. Coach Weeb Ewbank installed two new plays into the New York Jet offense, while sending his squad through light workouts. Passing and pass protection also were stressed. $s row . .. . HI, h i if Tfmihilbnili'k UW&Tifl Mil I 1 (SMI fIfffflL4 HOLDS THE GUN OF YOUR CHOICE OVER ii I I I Ill 1 1 I I I I I !
