THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1963- THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- PAGE 41 andy Koufax Is Named Loop's MV CAULS Woodson's College Play At End because he likes to, not to Comeback Effort Cited; Dick Groat Is Runnerup majors but had to labor to cure wildness in his early days. Sandy had 14 victories and was on a strikeout binge when his ailing hand forced him out of action Ju'v 17, 1962. Sandy came back this season completely cured and took command on a staff Manager Walt Alston called "the best I've ever had." IF THERE had been any doubts about Koufax they were erased Saturday night May 1 1 when he fired an 8-0 no-hitter against the Giants and didn't allow a man to reach base until the eighth inning. The 6foot-2, 200-pounder who owns a pair of record-tying lH-strikeout performances, fanned 10 or more batters 1 1 times this season and his career total of 51 is three shy of the major league mark shared by Bob Feller and Rube Waddell. Koufax had 11 shutouts in for st ft ,1 '2 ti 'i mark of 14 set by Dodger Carl Frskine 10 vears earlier.

THE SEIJ.CTION of Koufax marks the eighth time a Dodger has been picked for MVP, tying the team with St. Louis. "Oh, thank you," Koufax said when informed of his selection by phone. "I didn't think I was going to win it because I didn't think a pitcher would win. "1 am especially proud because I believe this is the most important award in baseball." Koufax was surprised Groat didn't get more voting points.

Groat finished in a third-place tie in the batting race with Aaron al .319. He was the driving force behind a St. Louis pennant bid. AARON I.F.D the league In runs batted in with 130 and runs scored with 121 and hit 44 homers. Perranoski, used strictly In relief, had an earned run average of 1.67 and posted a 16-3 record while working 129 innings.

(AP SHOTGUN RIFLES and HUNTING SUPPLIES Boston (AP) Los Angeles lefthander Sandy Koufax the comeback Dodger who made the difference yesterday was named the National League's most valuable player for 1963. The 27-year-old strikeout king decisively beat Dick Groat, the St. Louis Cardinals' sparkplug, 237 points to 190. RESULTS OF the annual poll of a 20-man committee of the Baseball Writers Association of America were announced by BBWAA secretary Hy Hurwitz. Koufax was named on all but one ballot.

Koufax, recovered from a serious circulatory ailment in a finger on his left hand which sidelined him in July 19G2, pitched the Dodgers to the pennant they could'nt quite pull off without him the latter half of '62. The Brooklyn-born bachelor registered a National League record 306 strikeouts en route to a 25-5 mark and a brilliant 1.88 earned run average. HE PrrCHED his second major league no-hitter early in the season against San Francisco and personally ac counted for two victories in the four-game World Series sweep of the New York Yan kees. The American League MVP will be announced next Thurs day. Previously chosen the Cy Young Award winner as the year's finest pitcher, Koufax completed his double by capturing 14 first place votes.

Shortstop Groat was named first by four voters while Mil waukee outfielder Hank Aaron and Los Angeles infielder Jim Gilliam split the other two. GROAT WAS 1960 MVP for the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates and Aaron, third with 135 points to 130 for Dodger relief ace Ron Perranoski, was honored in 1957. Groat and Aaron were the only players listed on all 20 ballots. Willie Mays of San Francisco was fifth. Los Angeles placed four men in the first eight with batting champion Tommy Davis eighth with 41 points.

Injury-slowed Maury Wills of the Dodgers, who was MVP last year, finished in a 17-place tie with Willie McCovey of San Francisco. KOUFAX IS the first pitcher to be voted the National League's top prize since Brooklyn Dodger Don New-combe in 1956 and only the seventh in 33 years. Koufax made the jump directly from the University of Cincinnati campus to the BROWNING USAC OKs Affiliation With Detroit Group Engraved Automatic 5-Shot Operation Is Planned On Knee By JEP CADOU JR. Sports Editor Marv Woodson's collegiate football career is ended because of a torn knee cartilage. Indiana University's brightest prospect for Ail-American honors in many years will be operated on next week for removal of the cartilage, Dr.

Edward V. Schaffer, Indianapolis orthopedic surgeon, said yesterday. Woodson, a 196-pound senior halfback from Hattiesburg, injured the knee when he cut sharply early in the Hoosiers' 37-26 loss to Iowa at Iowa City. Until yesterday, there had been hopes that Woodson, might be able to see action in some of the later games this season. THE NEWS came as a bitter blow to I.U.

supporters who were hoping fervently that Woodson might be able to play in the traditional Old Oaken Bucket game against Purdue. Woodson played a starring role on both offense and defense last year as Indiana beat Purdue, 12-7, at West Lafayette for the first Hoosier triumph in 15 years in the series. He intercepted a pass and ran 94 yards for the winning touchdown. Woodson was I i a a's leading ground gainer last year with 540 yards in 136 carries for a four-yard aver age and was widely acclaimed as the best halfback in the Big Ten. DR.

SCHAFFER explained that if the injured knee had unlocked by itself, Woodson would have had a chance to play some more this year. But the knee did not unlock. When the cartilage is removed, the knee should be perfectly normal again, Dr. Schaffer said. Woodson would not, of course, be recovered from the operation sufficiently to play any more this season, his last one of eligibility.

Dr. Schaffer said Woodson told him that he hopes to play professional football and there is no reason why he should not be able to do so. The Indianapolis surgeon performed a similar operation on Earl Faison, former Indiana star who now plays with the San Diego Chargers and Faison has written him, "I can't even tell which knee it was now." DR. SCHAFFER said that if Woodson had gone on and played on the knee, there was great danger that ligaments would be torn and he would be crippled permanently because the knee joint was unstable as a result of the torn cartilage. Woodson has been replaced in the I.U.

lineup by his roommate. Trent Walters, a 5-9 sophomore from Concord, who was impressive last Saturday against Cincinnati, gaining 105 yards from scrimmage in 10 carries and running back a kickoff 70 yards at the start of the second half. Dr. Schaffer said the operation will be performed here either Monday or Tuesday. The Aristocrat of automatic shotguns made to last a lifetime and more! Browning Auto.

The 27-year-old gentleman farmer from Duns, Scotland, who finished second in this year's 500-mile race disclosed yesterday that he had no particular ambition to win the world's Grand Prix driving championship, an hpnor he already has clinched for 1963. Chain-munching apples in the pits at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as he waited for his turn to test-drive the Lotus-Ford with its new double overhead cam engine, Clark explained quietly: "I just like racing." But he also hinted that he may hang up his helmet and goggles before too long. Asked if he planed to compete in the "500" for the next five or six years, Clark said, "I hope not.

One of these days, I'll settle down a bit instead of doing all this. Every year, it's next year." CLARK HAS won six of the Grand Prix races run so far and clinched the title by a wide margin. He has one more to go this year, the Grand Prix of South Africa on Dec. 28. Clark won't be surprised if there is quite an influx of Grand Prix drivers to compete at the Speedway next May.

"I think quite a few of them hope to have a go at it here," he said, "I won't name any names because you hear all sorts of rumors, but a lot of them have expressed interest." Clark said he believes that some of the Grand Prix drivers will do all right on the Speedway. By the same token he, says, "I am sure that some American drivers could do quite well Grand Prix circuit." He named A. J. Foyt and Rodger Ward as two who "no doubt could make it." Clark admitted candidly that he does not get as much enjoyment out of driving an oval track like the Speedway as he does out of the road racing circuits where the Grand Prix cars run. "There is much more to do on a Grand Prix course," he said, "Gear changing, braking, different degrees of curves and variants.

You're much more versatile in the Grand Prix." Clark said his only physical discomfort at the end of the 500-mile race was that his neck was tired as a result of the buffeting he got from other cars. "Otherwise, I was very happy," he added. He said he was well satisfied with the reception he got here and and found his debut here, "quite intriguing really." HOW DOES THE Speedway compare with the Grand Prix circuits from the standpoint of driver safety? "The track itself for one thing is safer," he answered, "but it can become very dangerous in the race when one car spins off. In Europe a car can spin off into the grass and out of the way. Here a spin often throws you straight back off the wall." Clark got personally acquainted with the problem of the spinning car in this year's race when Eddie Sachs spun in the first turn.

You come into the corner and see a car spinning and you don't know where he's going to come out," Clark said. The two bigegst chunks of prize money Clark earned last year by far came from American races. His purse money for his runnerup finish in the 500 was approxiamtely He won about $12,000 more in capturing the Milwaukee 200-mile race. Both of those sums dwarfed anything a driver can win in purse money for a Grand Prix. Clark explained the European system of compensation is different wtih the driver getting a retainer from the factory he drives for plus starting money from the promoters rather than big purse money.

Clark said it "looks pretty well like I'll be back here next May." We're sure he will be heartily welcomed by Indianapolis racing fans. He endeared himself to them with his tenacious driving on the track and his quiet courtesy off of it last year. THERE'S A SILVER gadget mounted on the rear of the Lotus-Ford Clark and Dan Gurney are testing that looks like a fishing tackle box. Inside of it, shielded by foam rubber, is a smaller black box. What is this mysterious mysterious thing that sits atop the rear-engine? It's a recording oscillograph, that's what, and Ford engineers say it will be an invaluable aid in exaluating results of the test runs here and making design changes in the new engine.

Among the things recorded on magnetic tape inside the boxes are (1) throttle positions (2) acceleration related to areas of the track (3) revolutions per minute at the different points on the track (4) battery voltage and (5) generator amperage. With the readings obtained, Ford engineers will be able to set up a dynamometer schedule of the Speedway track. THE FIRST wave of personnel from the Music Corporation of America's television outfit has arrived at the Speedway to start laying plans for closed-circuit televising of next year's race to theater and arenas around the nation. Jay Michaels is in charge of the group, which also includes 1957 race winner Sam Hanks, who is acting as technical advisor. They conferred yesterday with Speedway officials and local television men about arrangements for the pickup, which will cost a reported minimum of $25,000.

TERRIBLE TEN: Dave Barton of 3105 South Meridian Street scored a clear-cut victory in our "Terrible Ten" football picking contest based on games played last Saturday. Barton was the only one of our several hundred contestants who was able to hit nine out of the 10 games. Dave missed only on Stanford's upset victory over Notre Dame. A 27-year-old salesman for Machine Company, Barton never had entered the contest previouly. But he knows his football, having been a former grid star at Manual High School and Indiana Central College.

Barton was an offensive guard and defensive linebacker at Central where he was voted most valuable and all-Hoosier Conference as a sophomore in 1956. Two other contestants missed only two games each. They are Elb Fingerle of Wabash, who went wrong on Standford-Notre Dame and Michgan State-Northwestern, and Lowel H. Bllett of 5351 and Lowel H. Billett of 5351 Crittenden Avenue, who made his mistakes on Ohio State-Wisconsin and Stan-ford-Notre Dame.

Twenty-two other contest-tants had seven right and three wrong, which equaled the best performance by a regular panelist. Cy McBride came up with the top panel performance for the second straight week. He and Bob Collins each missed three games but McBride was closer to the 20-6 score of Indiana's victory over Cincinnati.
