Danylllp, Jan, 6, 1974 Bowl Contest East All-Stars Beat The West By 24-14 Count ABC Stages The Vincehtmttardi Award To DhMon The Cosell Presented To Outstanding Chuck Knox NFL Coach Of Year Story Today Lineman Thursday HONOLULU A Morris Weese of Missisippi came off (he bench lo inspire a bruising running attack as the East downed the- West 24-14 Saturday in the Hula Bowl. Weese scampered yards for the first touchdown and directed two oilier scoring drives. The fleet 195-pound sig- nal caller, who ran for 92 yards and passed for 35 yards! was named the game's outstanding offensive player. Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti of Penn State and Jim of Rutgers had one-yard touchdown runs for the East and Chuck Ramsey of Wake Forest kicked a 19-yard field goal. Ben Malonc of Arizona State accounted for all the West scor- ing with a pass recep- tion and a seven-yard run.

The heavier East team con- tained the West within its own 30-yard line' in the first a hut -the offense didn't start moving until Weese replaced starter David Jaynes of Kan- sas. Weese directed a 49-yard drive to the West one-yard line, but lost a fumble there to West linebacker Tom Poe of Wash- ington State. The East got the ball again on the 36 after a short West punt. One play later, Weese got a key block from tackle John Hicks of Ohio State, reversed his field to the left and scored from 34 yards out. Weese had a 26-yard run in the next East drive which was capped Ramsey's 19-yard field goal.

Despite losing the statistical battle, the West capitalized on two big plays to keep the out- come in doubt until the final minutes. Daryl McGallion of Houston intercepted a Weese pass at the East 4(5 early in the third quar- ter and Arizona Slate's Danny White hit Malone for the touch- down six plays later. Malone's other touchdown came one play after Steve Odom returned a kickoff 93 yards early in the fourth quar- ter. )s i ii in 14-24 Wcsi II II 7--1-1 East--Weesu run (Hamsey kickv East--FG Ramsey 19 pass from While (Gar- cia kick!

(AP)- First-period goals by Gene Peacosh and Brian Morenz, and the gbaltending of Joe Junkin carried the Jersey Knights to a 2-1 World Hockey Association victory over the Houston Aeros Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) The American Broadcasting Com- pany, the network Howard Co- scll made famous, will televise "Howard Cosell At Large: What's He Really Like?" Sun- day at 2:30 p.m. EOT. Too bad we never find out what he's really like. We hear him describe himself as he has done so many times before: pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose. We hear him say, as he's said many times in the past, that it was Monday night foot- ball, in three hours of prime time, that vaulted him into prominence.

We see him rapping with kids on college campuses, gyrating at ringside of a championship fight, bantering at poolside with sports celebrities and chewing out technicians in the ABC broadcast booth. We hear him say, as he's said many times in the past, that sports writers lack literacy and culture, are gutless and are guilty of sanctifying saints instead of telling it like it is. Somehow, it has the im- mediacy, the same impact, of a rerun of last week's game. ABC tries to tell who Howard Cosell really is by taking us into his home at Pound Ridge, N.Y. There, one daughter, Hill- ary, describes him as "loving, emotional, over-protective." There, he romps with his only grandchild, young son of Jill Cosell Cohane.

There, his wife of years, Emmy, describes him as having courage, guts "but always at heart he's a little Jewish boy who's not sure of baby on the road who will complain about the bed being uncomfortable." But if we're to believe who Howard Cosell really is, he sleeps in his toupee and trench- coat. There are a few cameo shots of Dave Anderson of the New York Times thrown in in an ef- fort to balance Cosell's caustic comments about his contempo- raries. Anderson, for example, says Cosell's antagonism of sports writers is based on fear. He says Cosell takes himself too seriously and can't take criticism as well as he can dish it out. In one face-to-face en- counter, friendly at that, An- derson quips: "Howard, I wish you were on Monday night football, then I could turn down the volume." But it is former world heavy- champion Muhammad Ali who best sums him up.

The two are riding through New York in All's limousine, and Ali, says: "Enjoy it because you're not going to be on top too long." HOUSTON A The fourth Vince Lombard! Award will be presented to the nation's outstanding collegiate lineman Thursday during a fitting set- ting--Super Bowl Week. The award dinner is an offi- cial function of this week's Su- per Bowl activities leading up to Sunday's clash for the Na- tional Football League cham- pionship between the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins. It is considered a fitting way to honor the man who dominated the first two Super Bowls as coach of the winning Green Bay Packers.

i A State; middle guard Lucious Selmon of Oklahoma, and All- Amcrican center Bill Wyman of Texas. The trophy honors the former Green Bay and Washington Redskins' coach who died of cancer in 1970. Jim Stillwagon of Ohio Slate was the first winner in 1971. Walt Patulski of Notre Dame was the 1972 winner and Ne- braska's Rich Glover won last year. Selmon, 5-foot-10, 236-pound senior, is the oldest of three brothers who played for the un- beaten Sooners.

In 1973, he made 93 tackles, giving him a three-year career total of 234 tackles. Oklahoma Coach Barry Swit- xer called Selmon, "the great- est down lineman to play at the University of Oklahoma since I've been here." Wyman, who anchored the of- fensive line in Texas' Wishbone attack, received similar praise from Longhorns' Coach Darrell Royal. "He's the best center we've had since I've been at Texas," Royal said. Texas assistant Coach Willie Zapalac said, "Snapping the ball doesn't affect Bill. He can still get off the ball and is as quick as any lineman w.e have.

He's also our strongest line- man." Gradishar and Hicks helped the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl victory over Southern Califor- nia, completing an undefeated season. Coach Woody Hayes said Gradishar has, "the quick- est lateral movement of any linebacker I a coached. His ability to anticipate and to go to the ball is just unbeliev- able." About Hicks, a 6-3, 258-pound- er, Hayes said. "He is the best interior lineman I have ever coached." NICW YORK (AP) Chuck Knox, who led the Los Angeles Rams to the National Football Conference West Division championship, was named Na- tional Football League Coach of the Year Saturday in an Associ- ated Press poll of sports writers and broadcasters. Knox was a lopsided winner in the voting by three-man committees who cover each of the 26 NFL teams.

He received 43 votes, more than half of the maximum of 78. Denver's John Ralston was second with 10 votes, with Cincinnati's Paul Brown, John North of New Or- leans, Mike McCormack of Philadelphia and Lou Saban of Buffalo dividing the remaining ballots. "This is a great honor," said Knox, who won the award in his first year as an NFL head coach. "I think this is a credit lo our football players, to my assistant coaches and to Carroll Rosenbloom and Don Kloster- man, who gave me the oppor- tunity to become a head coach." Rosenbloom, owner of the Rams, and Klosterman, the club's general manager, hired Knox to rebuild Los Angeles after the club had sagged to a (i-7-l record and third place in the NFC West in 1972. Knox had spent 10 years in the NFL as an assistant coach, four with the New York Jets and six with Detroit, before the Rams' op- portunity came along.

He was credited with developing and improving the offensive lines of the Jets and Lions. Knox, 41, was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Ju- niula College, for one year and coached high school football in Pennsylvania for the next four. He also worked as an assistant coach at Wake Forest and Ken- tucky before moving into pro football in 1963. "A lot of other assistant coaches are in football who, if given the opportunity to be a head coach, would do a great job," Knox said. With Los Angeles, Knox handed the quarterbacking job to John Hadl, acquired from San Diego, and traded longtime Ram signal caller Roman Ga- briel to Philadelphia in a deal that brought wide receiver Har- old Jackson to Los Angeles.

The passing combination of Hadl and Jackson plus the de- velopment of second-year run- ning back Lawrence McCutchcon, who gained more than 1,000 yards, helped the Rams take charge in the NFC West. Los Angeles won its first six games and finished with a 12-2 record, tying Minnesota and Miami for the best mark in the NFL. The two Rams' losses were by a total of three points, and the 12 victories were the most ever achieved by the team in a single season. In the first round of the play- offs, Los Angeles surrendered a pair of touchdowns on turn- overs in the first minutes of play and never made up the deficit, losing to Dallas 27-16. LRAVESHOSPITAL WASHINGTON (AP)-Sam Wyche, reserve quarterback for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League, was released Saturday from a hospital after surgery to correct a double vision condition.

Wyche, who was injured in an exhibition game, should know in about six weeks if the operation was a success.
