NEW YORK (UPI>- They’ll
be giving out the Heisman
Trophy soon to the fellow who’s
supposed to be the best college
football player in the country.
From what 1 hear, O. J.
Simpson and Gary Beban are
running 1-2. They look like
they’re closer than Taylor and
Burton.
From what I judge, Tommy
Prothro and John McKay will
wind up with a lot of the votes
instead. They’ re the ones doing
all the electioneering. Prothro,
the UCLA coach, is hollering his
boy Beban should get the
trophy. McKay, the USC coach,
doesn’t see how anyone can
avoid giving it to his boy
Simpson.
This not only tends to make it
a private fight between Prothro
and McKay but it also tends to
irritate Jack Mollenkopf.
Mollenkopf coaches Purdue
and has his own Heisman
Trophy candidate in Leroy
Keyes, a converted defensive
halfback who is setting all kinds
of Big Ten records on offense
and still plays defense on
occasion also.
Mollenkopf Picks Keyes
The quickest way to rile
Mollenkopf is to assure him
someone other than his boy, say
0. J. Simpson, for example,
already has the trophy wrapped
up.
“In my opinion, man for man,
Leroy Keyes is a better all-
around football player than O.
J. Simpson,” Mollenkopf insists
from his office in Lafayette,
Ind.
“Yes, I’ve seen O.J. Simp-
son,” the Purdue coach adds. “I
saw three-quarters of last
Saturday’s USC-UCLA game on
TV and I saw pictures of the
Notre Dame-USC game before
that.
“In the games I’ve seen, O.J.
Simpson primarily is a runner.
And he’s a fine runner, no
question about that. But Leroy
Keyes runs just as well as
Simpson and last Saturday
against Michigan State Leroy
had a better average than O. J.
“Leroy carried 24 times and
had a net of 193 yards. O. J.
carried 28 times for 182 yards.
In addition, Leroy threw a
touchdown pass for 11 yards,
caught another touchdown pass
for 11 more yards and gained 51
yards receiving other passes.
Not only that, but he kicks off
for us and plays defense.”
Mollenkopf paused a moment
to catch his breath, but he
wasn’t through yet. Not by a
long shot.
Keyes Better All-Around
“O. J. Simpson is a little
faster than Leroy Keyes,”
Mollenkopf concedes, “But I’m
sure he doesn’t get through a
hole any quicker than Leroy
does. Nor does he run through
trouble any better than Leroy. I
repeat: In my opinion, man for
man, Leroy Keyes is a better
all-around football player. He’s
the best."
Both McKay and Prothro give
Mollenkopf a stiff argument on
that one.
It’s one of those debates that
really can never be settled even
by a “common opponent” like
Duffy Daugherty of Michigan
State.
Duffy reminds that all three—
0. J., Beban and Keyes—have
beaten his club. He says all
three are top-drawer. •»
But the best, Duff, who’s the
best?
“Keyes,” he says, bang-bang,
just like that. “Keyes is the No.
1 player in the country and in
my opinion Purdue is the No. 1
team.”
Wait’ll they hear that in Los
Angeles.
Rod (arew Wins
Rookie Oi Year
At Keystone Spot
NEW YORK (UPI)-Panama-
nian-born Rod Carew, who
made the jump from Class A
ball to the Minnesota Twins in
one season, today was named
the American League’s Rookie-
of-the-Year by a near unani-
mous vote.
The 22-year-old lefthanded-
hitting second baseman, who
was nearly sent out after the
first month of the season,
batted .296 to draw 19 votes
from the 20-member board of
the Baseball Writers Associa-
tion of America.
Reggie Smith of the American
League champion Boston Red
Sox received the other vote. The
Boston centerfielder hit .246, 15
home runs, drove in 61 runs and
stole 17 bases.
Softball Group
Names 2 Leagues
Two softball leagues will be
formed in Sapulpa this summer,
announced new league president
Ed Baldwin Wednesday. Several
teams from Tulsa have shown an
interest in the Sapulpa leagues.
As a result, an open league in
city competition, and a closed
league in the industrial class
will be formed, Baldwin said.
Baldwin and Fred Whitehead,
who was elected secretary of the
association, said the members of
the league voted to raise the
entry fee to $100 per team.
League play should begin the
first of May.
A few Sapulpa picthers will be
classified at the next Business
meeting.

UPI Sports Writer
College football fans will have
slim pickings this Thanksgiving
Day unless they come from the
sports crazy states of Texas or
Nebraska, where, as expected,
the biggest holiday fare will be
served.
Traditional holiday games
seem to be a thing of the past,
but not so at College Station,
Tex., or Lincoln, Neb., where
the game is as much of the
holiday as turkey and pumpkin
pie.
Arch rivals Texas and Texas
A&M clash at College Station
while Oklahoma and Nebraska
meet at Lincoln. The Sooners
can claim their first Big Eight
Conference in five years of
beating Nebraska.
The two Texas rivals meetfor
the 74th time in a contest of
major significance since the
outcome will help unlock the
Southwest Conference pennant
puzzle and possibly provide the
league champion and Cotton
Bowl host.
May Win It All
Oklahoma, already picked to
meet Tennessee in the Orange
Bowl, is 5-0 in conference play
and a win will clinch the title.
Other games Thursday send
Villanova against Toledo, Virgi-
na Tech against Virginia
Military Institute at Roanoke
and Southern Mississippi at
Lousiana Tech.
Tech has won 10 straight
from the Aggies and the
Longhorns hold a commanding
51-17-5 lead in the lengthy
series.
A&M is 5-1 in the league race
while Texas and Texas Tech are
tied for second at 4-2. Texas
Tech, hopeful of its first visit to
the Cotton Bowl since 1939,
plays Arkansas Saturday.
May Take A While
Texas A&M can clinch the
title outright with a victory or a
tie and earn the right to face
Alabama in the Cotton Bowl.
But it could conceivably take
until Dec. 2 to determine the
host team.
The Texas-sized pennant puz-
zle also involves Texas Chris-
tian— (3-2) in league play. The
league could end in a four-way
tie and if that is the case then
Texas Tech, which has never
represented the conference if
the Cotton Bowl, would get the
nod.
The Red Raiders also go if
they end in a three-way tie, but
should Texas, Texas A&M and
TCU tie for the top spot then
the Aggies will become the
Cotton Bowl host. Texas goes
only if it ends in a tie with
Texas A&M for the champion-
ship.
TCU Out Of It
TCU is out of the bowl picture
completely. The best the
Horned Frogs can do is finish in
a three-way tie for first and
conference rules specify that in
case of multiple ties the teams
which have most recently
appeared in the bowl shall be
eliminated.
The Oklahoma-Nebraska clash
is expected to be a defensive
battle. Nebraska leads the
nation in total defense, yielding
an average of 147 yards per
game. The fifth-ranked Sooners
lead the nation in defense
against scoring, giving up an
averag of five points a game.
Notre Dame, ranked sixth,
and lOth-ranked Miami of
Florida meet Friday night as
the Irish wind up their
campaign with a second
straight game in the South. Last
Saturday Notre Dame visited
Atlanta and beat Georgia Tech
36-3.
The Rose Bowl and the Gator
Bowl pairings will be filled
Saturday. Minnesota plays win-
less Wisconsin and a win will
give the Gophers a Rose Bowl
berth opposite Southern Califor-
nia. Florida State and Florida
also meet Saturday and the
winner is assured a berth in the
Gator Bowl opposite Penn State.
FRENCH JOCKEY
NEW YORK (UPI)-French
jockey Jean Deforge arrives in
-New York Thursday to ride
Psyche for Templeton Stable in
Saturday’s $50,000 added Gllant
Fox handicap at Aqueduct.
TOP PLAYER
CLEVELAND (UPI)-Purdue
halfback Leroy Keyes was
named Tuesday the recipient of
the Cleveland Touchdown Club’s
“National Collegiate Player of
the Year” trophy for 1967. This
gave the Boilermakers back-to-
back honors. Quarterback Bob
Griese received the award last
year.
L
UCLA Cagers Tabbed To Win All In '68
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI>-
This shouldn’t come as a
surprise to anyone.
UCLA will win the Pacific
Eight Conference basketball
title again this season.
The Bruins also will extend
their unbeaten string to some-
where around 60 games and
repeat as NCAA champions.
If you don’t think so, just
check this.
The crew which won the PAC-
8 title, the NCAA championship
and went unbeaten in 30 games
a year ago will be back to do
business at the same old stand
for yet another season.
That means Lew Alcindor,
Lynn Schackleford, Mike War-
ren and Lucius Allen—all of
whom played nearly every
minute the last time around.
Add to them for 1967-68 Edgar
Lacey and Mike Lynn, who
missed most of last season
because of off-court problems,
plus outstanding sophs Steve
Patterson and Fred Gray, and
there seems little doubt the
Bruins can sweep the boards
once again.
UCLA Will Dominate
In sum and substance UCLA
will not only dominate the
western scene but the national
one as well this season.
The dropoff in the West will
be great, although the scramble
for second place in the PAC-8
could prove to be quite a tussle
with every one of the eleven other
teams feeling they have a
chance to linish in the Bruins’
wake. When you are playing in
the same conference as UCLA,
you have to be thankful for
small things—like second place.
Washington State, which tied
Oregon State for a second a
year ago, appears to be the best
candidate to finish runnerup
this time.
The Cougars have 11 return-
ing lettermen and four of last
season’s five starters. That
means center Jim McKean,
forward Ted Weierman and
guards Ray Stein and Lenny
Allen will be back.
Stanford, fourth in the confer-
ence and 15-11 overall, will be
tough. The Indians have lost
only center Rick Baker from
last year’s team, which included
10 sophs. The key men this time
will be Art Harris, Gary
Petersmeyer, Don Griffin and
Mai Me El wain.
Six Come Back
Oregon State has only six
returning lettermen from last
year’s 157 team, but two of
them are Loy Petersen and
Vince Fritz. The team recently
concluded an Australian tour
with a 27-2 record, if that
means anything.
Southern California, Cali-
fornia and Washington are on
ibout a par.
The Trojans are hopeful of
doing better than their 13-12
record of a year ago, mostly
because of eight returning
lettermen, headed by Bill
Hewitt, Jim Marsh, Ron Taylor,
Steve Jennings and Vince
Mannino.
The Bears are young and
probably will be hurt defensive-
ly. They have a top performer,
though, in Russ Critchfield, but
he needs help.
Washington was 13-12 last
year and will be hard pressed to
play that well this time. When
the Huskies lost Gordy Harris
they lost most of their scoring
punch, although they have eight
returning lettermen. There is no .
replacement in sight for Harris. Ducks appear imProved but will
