NEW YORK (ITU - Two years of frustration during which the University of Texas missed lite national football ti tle by a total of seven prints ended for tlie Longhorns today when they were crowned the 1963 major college football champions by the United Press International Board of Coaches. Fur 13 seniors, tlie national championship was particularly gratifying, remembering how narrowly they missed tlie hon or the last two seasons. "We had a little pact between us (seniors' this year that we wouldn't settle for less than 100," senior tailback Tommy Ford, the Southwest Coher ence's leading rusher, revealed. The Longhorns produced the perfect record, (lie only one in major football this season and Texas' first in 43 years, to at tain the apex which slipped through their grasp in 1961, when their only blemish was a 6-0 defeat to Texas Christian, and again last season when Rice hurt them with a 14-14 tie. Navy Finishes Second Navy finished a distant sec ond, but nonetheless reached the highest ranking held by a service academy in tlie 14-year-history of tltc UPI ratings. They lield the runncrup spot for tlie last month of the ratings and collected the other four first place ballots. The Middies play Army Sat urday in their traditional rival ry for a possible bowl invitation but their opportunity to unseat Texas was spoiled by a 32-28 upset by Southern Methodist, a team coach Darrell Royal's eleven downed, 17-12.

Pittsburgh, a loser only to Navy, replaced Michigan State in third; Illinois, the Big Ten champ, climbed four places to finish fourth and Big Eight champion Nebraska advanced one position to fifth. Auburn Climbs I'p Auburn, once-beaten, jumped from ninth to sixth; twice-tied Mississippi dropped from fourth to seventh and Oklahoma ad vanced from loth to eighth. Alabama fell to ninth and Mich igan State completed the top 10 in 10th place. Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Alabama were the only members of the J962 top 10 to repeat. Mississippi State, Syracuse and Arizona Slate led the sec ond 10 in 11th, 12th and 13th. respectively, Memphis State, unbeaten but tied, claimed 14th and Big Six winner Washington was 15th.

NFL Draft Pick Takes Long Time CHICAGO ' UPI ' The Na tional Football League struggled into the dawn today to attempt to wind up its annual draft of college talent and gel on about the business of signing raw ma terial against the bids of the ri val American League. The NFL plum-picking ses sion progressed at the slowest pace in history as every team cautiously sounded out pros pects before it made its official selection. Thus the first round required 8 hours and 8 minutes com pared to the previous record of 4 hours 55 minutes. The second round was completed in 4 hours and 8 minutes and the third, with a 15-minute time limit im posed for each choice, in 2 hours 25 minutes. But tlie result was that after almost 15 hours, the 14 teams in the league had named only 42 college players of a total of 280 supposed to be chosen, and each team had obtained rights to only three players. The pattern paid off for some clubs. Four signed their No. 1 se lections before midnight. Minne sota tackle Carl Eller with Min nesota, Tennessee tackle Dick Evey with Chicago. Utah State quarterback Bill Munson with Los Angeles, and Indiana half back Marv Woodson with Balti more. . Two No. 2 picks were w rapped up too, Southern California end Hal Bedsole by Minnesota and Kentucky tackle Hersohel Turn er by St. Louis. The club owners, plagued w ith the problem of completing the draft so that they can continue trying t(.- sign prospects under the threat from the AFL, settled down for an all night stand iri an attempt to complete the 20 rounds scheduled. San Francisco made Texas Tech end Dave Parks the No. 1 pick of the NFL meeting, fol lowed by guard Bob Brown of Nebraska by tlie Philadelphia Eagles, halfback Charles Taylor of Arizona State by Washington and Texas tackle Scott Appleton by Dallas, picked after a two hours and 39 minute wait, long est ever in a draft meeting. Ducks Gain $224,000 In Football SAN FRANCISCO (UPI '-The University of Oregon made a $224,000 profit from playing football in 1962. but still wants to rejoin the Big Six in an ex panded conference. Leo Harris, athletic director at Oregon. Monday told the Northern California basketball writers that his school feels that conference membership is bet ter in the long run. He cited better chance for na tional recognition, improved con ditions for sports other than football, and more say at the national level in such mailers as rule changes. Oregon and Oregon Stale ere voted out of the Pacific Coast Conference for various reasons a number of years ago and tlie rest of the schools formed the Athletic Association of Western Universities, better known as tlie Big Six. Harris said that his school cannot apply for membership. "We must wait for an invita tion." He said that entrance require ments have been raised at the school in recent vears.

(UPD-A trade that iwas two years in the making Leon Wagner for Bar ry Latman may take the rest of the American League 10 years to figure out. "There must be more to it than that," declared an aston ished iRalph Honk of the Yan kees who along with most base ball men felt that the trade was rather one-sided in Cleveland's favor. Actually there was more to the deal than the Iu Angeles Angels merely giving up the 29-ycar-old Wagner ot the In dians for tlie 27-year-old Lat man. "In addition to Latman." ex plained AnRel General Manag er Fred Hancy, "we will re ceive another player from Cleveland by March I, and it will be a major leaguer, not a minor leaguer." Even so there was consider able wonderment as to why the Angels would give up a slugging outfielder like Wagner, who drove in 90 runs, his 26 homers and batted .291 even though he slumped practically half the year. "We weren't the least hit an xious to give up Wagner," said Hancy, "we need pitching. We also have some fine young hit ters coming up, kids like Ed Kirkpatrick and Dick Simpson among others. That's why we felt we could spare Wagner." The prevailing feeling in oth er quarters, however, was that the Angels wearied of Wagner when his average nose-dived 60 points from .350 in July and when he hit only two of his homers and drove in only 19 of his runs at home all last sea son. There was also some conjec ture Wagner's general attitude may have influenced the Angels In get rid of him. But that was emphatically denied by Hancy and Manager Bill Rigney.

Buck Davidson, Klamath Julius Boros Credits Thievery Of Putter For Finest Season SEBR1NG, Fla. (UPI Jul ius (Moose Boros, at 43 volcd the professional golfer of the year, today thanked a thief for the most successful season of his entire career. The placid, easy-going Hun garian admits that he was "fit to be tied" last spring when after finishing third in tlie Mast ers two shots back of winning Jack Nicklaus he found that someone had stolen his putter. "Nothing better ever happened to mc," he grinned as he teed it up against defending cham pion Sam Snead in the Haig and Haig challenge round at Hard er Hall Golf Course today. It had been three long years since Boros had won a tourna ment. But he derricked a long ignored putler out of a closet at home and suddenly regained the touch which carried him to the U. S. Open championship in 1932. "The answer is in my put ting." says Boros, who admits that he isn'l as long off the tee or as .supple as he was in the past. "You pult and you win. Don't putt and you struggle." There was the added factor of a new driver which he or dered and which added "about 15 or 20 yards" to his tee shots. The combination carried him Great Co-Attraction!!
