Sports Editor Picking All-Americans is purely a harmless way of putting in the time, a senseless procedure In many respects, but productive of consequences far less menacing to one's standing in the community than well, let's say beating your wife.

There wasn't an Army coach who didn't agree that Cadet Anderson Is exactly what he was 12 months ago a magnificent back but cast In a different role that is not as eye-catching as the one he played In '57. Pitt Prepared For Both Players The question was put to Johnny Michelosen.

"When you were rigging your defenses for Army, what distinction did you draw between Anderson and Dawkins?" "We knew either one could kill us," Johnny the Mike replied. "If I remember correctly, we spent as much time on one as the other." The West Pointers were also quick to chip In with a good word for Bob Novogratz, their left tackle.

Steelers Find Gold In Orr, Rookie End Newest Pro Star Once Quit Football In High School Because It Was Too Rough By TAT LIVINGSTON Pitt Despite Letdown Nebraska Appears Totally Outclassed By BOB DRUM One game doesn't make a season but the Penn State-Nebraska game had a lot to dc with the woes of the Motis this year. It was opening clay way back on Sept. 20 that Nebraska beat Penn State, 14-7, -and. the Lions haven't recovered Some thought that Nebraska was a good team that caught State napping and would go on to one of its best seasons.

Of course, the Panthers are goin? to suffer a letdown after the blj win over Notre Dame but even a letdown Panther should oe too tough for the Nebraskans to handle.

This year's casualty is Junior Mike Flynn of St. Justin, a steady a k-court veteran who also missed the tag end of last season when one of i grades slipped below Tech's high stan dards at Flynn the end of the fall semester. Last November, Cratsley lost big Charley Goetz, his captain and center-to-be, the jame way. "It doesn't take long for bad news to travel, does it?" said Cratsley when asked to confirm a report that Flynn had been declared ineligible for the remainder of the bcniester.

"Yes, it's true. For the umpteenth time, our season is ruined before it starts. Losing Mike Flynn and a few others is just too big a gap to fill," he remarked, pointing out that it leaves him with only five experienced players to face the 21-game season which opens Dec. 1 against Duquesne at the Pitt Field House. something to do with it After about 5C minutes Novogratz had to call it quits.

He was required to be in attendance at Crafton for 90 school days this semester before being permitted to play athletics.

Sands attended a school outside his own school district and then returned to Crafton for this, semester. A recheck will be made by the WPIAL Football Commit tee on the Class A championship. Craf ton's elimination provides an opportunity for Carnegie, coached by Ray Zaney, In the race. Through readjustment of the records, Carnegie ranks second now willi 140 points being the runnerup to pace-setting Waynesburg with its 111 points. A victory over Scott Twp.

tomorrow night for Carnegie would give the Little Tartans a maximum total of 142 points, two under the finishing total of 114 for Waynesburg. Third place is held by undefeated, untied Braddock, with 134 points and a 136 maximum. If Scott Twp. beats Carnegie, then the Class A title game would find Waynes burg opposing Braddock, which has held divisional supremacy the last four seasons.

Orr "Who's this fellow, Orr?" asked Jim I.ee Howell, the coach of the Giants, who play the Steelers at Pitt Stadium Sunday. "According to our scouting reports, he's suddenly one of the most dangerous ends in the league." Who's Orr? Who knows? The first the Steelers heard of the blond haired receiver was the public address announcer identifying him as the Los Angeles Rams halfback who had just completed a 72-yard touchdown pass. Two days later, Orr was with the Steelers. Orr, along with defensive End Billy Ray Smith, came to the Steelers from the Rams in one of Coach Buddy Tarker's many trades for "an undisclosed draft choice." Before that, the lightweight receiver had starred as a Uri-: versity of Georgia halfback for three years even though he enrolled at the school without a scholarship.
