'( And his nine years experience at-Ole Miss, where lie has been a valuable member of Coach John Vaught's well organized and highly successful "big league" operation, was a major factor in fitting bim for a head coach assignment. Coach fVaught expressed the convictions of many football followers including sports-writers when he said, "I sacrificed defense, where ha was a proven star, and moved to offense, where his blocking helped Illinois State set a school rushing record. He also played defense about 50 per cent of tha time. Urczyk, the other tackle, was the higest rated offensive lineman in the Missourl-Kansai area.

Omaha's Klepper also filled ia defensively when needed. A 245-nounder, he is fast enough to be a pulling guard. Small is a 260-pound junior who already has pro scouts knocking on his door. On tlie first 23 sweeps led by Small, Northern Arizona backs averaged more than 11 yards a carry. Dobbert, the center, is another 260-pounder who excites the pros.

Our No. 1 vote goes to Sam-jny Milner, Mississippi State plit end, who won first-team All-SEC honors on both the Associated Press and United Press International all-conference squads. Milner broke every Mississippi State pass receiving record in the books single game, season and career, both catches and yardage with 64 grabs for 909 yards and five touchdowns. Hairston's "Sophomore of the Year" poll asks for first, second and third choices. We voted Milner first, quarterback Archie Manning cf Ole Miss second and quarterback iMike Cavan of Georgia third.

Manning finished as the runner-up to junior Tommy Pharr of State in total offense with 1,716 yards, breaking every Ole Miss season record except for Charley Conerly's 1,784 yards in 1947; broke all Ole Miss records for single-game total offense, and was fiie key man in Rebel wins over, Memphis State, Alabama, Southern Mississippi and LSU. He was also the key man in the Rebs' late touchdown drive that gained them a tie against Mississippi State. Cavan did an outstanding Job in piloting Georiga to the SEC championship, but it is now common knowledge that the Georgia squad had more talent and manpower, in depth, than any other team in the league. Other standout sophs included LSU's linebacker Mike Anderson, Alabama's flanker George Ranager and middle guard Sammy Gel'e-stedt, Georgia's split end Charles Whittemore, Ole Miss' defensive back Ray Heidel, Missis- ippi State's versatile David Baoith, and Tennessee's center Chip Kell and split end Lester McClain.
