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.
No newcomers could crack
the top 10 the final five weeks
of the season but tlie third
through loth positions were re
shuffled in the final tally.
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

one position to fifth.

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.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI '-The

2-Man Swap
Puzzing
To League
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (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.
