Hmporli, ipBj Near-Unanimous Choices Sayers, Vaughn, Grisham, Brown Lead AP Balloting THE GAZETTB By Prtw KANSAS CITY (AP) Bob Brown, Nebraska's 269-pound guard, and Gale Sayers of Kansas, Tom Vaughn of Iowa State and Jim Grisham of Oklahoma all were near unanimous choices for the 1963 All-Big Eight football team named today by the Associated Press. Completing the first team backfield was Dennis Clarldge, Nebraska's do everything senior quarterback, by the narrowest of margins over Gary Lane, talented Missouri sophomore who led the league in total offense. Brown, a tremendous blocker and linebacker, was the leader of the pro-sized line which averaged 235 pounds, end to end. Only two men were shorter than e-foot-4. Oklahoma's Newt Burton was the other first team guard, by a heavy margin.

At tackles, 247-pound Lloyd Voss of Nebraska and 246-pound Ralph Neely of Oklahoma won first team berths in a tight four way race over Brian Schweda, 230, of Kansas and Dave Gill, 208, of Missouri. The ends were a pair of outstanding blockers and mean, tough defenders Mike Shinn of Kansas and George Seals of Missouri. The center was Iowa State's John Berrington. Sayers, the Kansas phantom, is the nation's No. 2 rusher and needs only 26 yards against Missouri to become the first back in Big Eight history to reach the 2,000 yard career mark in rushing in his junior season.

He has averaged 7.1 yards a play this season and last but is stronger this year at 202 pounds. Vaughn, like Sayers, ranked among the nation's top five rushers all season. He finished with 795. He's a power runner with the deception and speed to go all the way, as he did Oklahoma. Grisham, a fast and powerful -runner, is the hub around which the OU offense revolves, a DANCE at County Wed.

Night (Thanksgiving) TURKEY DOOR PRIZE Adm. 50c Penan GOMER HODGES Band crunching Mocker and the best linebacker, Claridge, kept out of three games by injuries, dropped from 1,487 yards total offense in 1962 including the Gotham -Bowl-to 619 this fall. He guided the Huskers in the big ones with Missouri and Oklahoma and averaged 6.8 yards per attempted pass to 6.5 for the busy Lane. Lane had to take over almost the entire Missouri offense the last three games after the Tigers lost Monroe Phelps. He is a dangerous runner.

Lane is well in front in total offense with 1,012 yards. Lane was a strong choice for sophomore, back of the year over Steve Renko, Kansas, Fred Duda, Nebraska and Larry Shields, Oklahoma. Joining Lane in the second team backfieid were Bill Harris of Colorado, Rudy Johnson of Nebraska and Dick Limerick of Iowa State, the league's top scorer whose five field goals tied the Big Eight record. Jack Jacobson, a two-way standout at Oklahoma State, and K-State's Ralph McFillen, a dangerous pass receiver, are the second team ends. Other second team linemen are guard John Kirby, guard Gene Oliver, Missouri, and center John Garrett, Oklahoma.

Oliver's favorite spot is guard, and he drew more support than any except the top three guards. Oklahoma guard Carl Schreiner was named sophomore lineman of the year in a close race with Rusty Martin, OSU tackle; Tony Jeter, Nebraska end, and Butch Allison, Missouri tackle.

(AP Wirephoto) BALTIMORE Baltimore Orioles, willing to sacrifice power for consistent hitting and hustle, have swapped moody slugger Jim Gentile to the Kansas City Athletics in exchange for Norm Siebern. The Orioles had to sweeten the pot with $25,000 in cash to swing Tuesday's trade of first basemen, indicating how Gentile's market value has slumped along with his batting average and horns runs during the past two seasons. For the Athletics, striving mightily add power to their attack, it was the second major deal in the past eight days.

On Nov. 18, the A's sent second baseman Jerry Lumpe and pitchers Ed Rakow and Dave Wickersham to Detroit in exchange for slugger Rocky Colavito and pitcher Bob Anderson.

Navy Plays Army on December 7 As Bowl Bids Go Up for Grabs By the Associated Press Army and Navy will meet in their traditional football battle- but a week later than scheduled and will bring down the curtain on a 10-day period beginning Thanksgiving thai figures to find bowl offers frantically flung around the country.

The decision on the Army- Navy game came Tuesday from the Pentagon and overshadowed two other major developments the naming of Navy's' Roger Staubach as the Heisman Trophy winner and Louisiana Slate University's acceptance of a Bluebonnet Bowl bid. Army-Navy game will be pushed back to Dec. 7 Pearl Harbor Day in deference to the memory of the late President Kennedy. The Pentagon said the Kennedy, family intervened so that the annual service classic would not canceled. The official statement said the game will be dedicated to his memory.

The announcement further scrambled a puzzling major college bowi picture currently filled in at only three spots top- ranked Texas nvthe Cotton Bowl seventh-ranked Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and LSU in the Bluebonnet Bowl. The Thanksgiving Day program and this Saturday's schedule, including many key games that were postponed from last week due to the assassination of President Kennedy, were expected to wrap up most of the holes. But the Army-Navy postponement complicated the situation. The second-ranked Middies and Staubach, now the best player in the country by the Heisman voters, were expected to tangle Texas in the Cotton Bowl providing they beat Army for the fifth consecutive year. However, their possible participation in a post-season game may have when the postponement appeared.

It is believed the sentiment in the Pentagon for cancellation of the game, plus the lengthening of the regular scheduled by a week may rule out a bowl trip for Navy. It also may rule out a top match-up in the Cotton Bowl. Promoters said Tuesday they will wait until -after 'the Dec. 7 schedule, presumably to get Navy's decision. Their second choice is Pitt, which also plays that Saturday, against Penn State.

Pitt, however, does not have to wait until its game to make a decision and might be agreeable to an offer from Having Engine CALL Nines Sons DI 2-1MS NEED MONEY FOR HOME REPAIRS 7 SEC FINANCE Harold Mgr. 42-1 Commercial DI 2-3951' Ing for a center fielder with power." After a great 1961 season, when he slugged homers, drove in 141 runs and batted .302, Gentile has slipped to .251 and .248 the past two years. His home run output dropped to 33, and then 24. The 29-year-old left-handed batter led the club in two unofficial departments breaking his bat deliberately after striking out and failing to run out grounders and fiy balls. Siebern, 30, and also a left- handed batter, hit 16 homers and drove in 83 runs with a .273 average last season.

Cunningham. another major bowl. If Pitt goes elsewhere, then Navy the Cotton Bowi will be lacking a top-flight opponent for the unbeaten and untied Long-horns. Meanwhile, Illinois and Michigan State prepared for their Big Ten clash, a Thanksgiving Day battle that will fill one of. the Rose Bowl spots.

Other candidates also will be in action Thursday, as well as Saturday. The winner of the Big Ten battle between the fourth-ranked Spartans and eighth-ranked Illi- ni at East Lansing, gets a Rose berth against a Big Six opponent which will come out of two Saturday games, Washington at Washington State and Southern California at UCLA. Washington has the inside track. Also headlining the Thursday program is the meeting between Texas and arch rival Texas plus games involving bowl hopefuls Syracuse 'and North Carolina. The Orange, who meet Notre Dame in New York, could wind up in the Gator Bowl against the Tar Heels, who are at Duke.

The Saturday schedule will fill Ihe West Coast Rose Bowl entry and two Orange and Sugar bowl spots. WELCOME of Boosters!
