Rookies From Nowhere
Making Top Pro Stars

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.

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. ";

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-

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.
