10 THE REGISTER-NEWS MT. VERNON, ILLINOIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1966 Cards Favored At Washington, DC Browns Try To Harness Bob Hayes And Cowboys By MrRRAY CWASS Associated Press Sports Writer If the St Louis Cardinals, worked the next-to-impossible, on Bob Hayes last Sunday, the Cleveland BrowTis may have to i make it the impossible this Sun-1 ii day if they hope to remain in 1 Head-Knocking contention in the National Foot-j ball League's Eastern Conference. The Cardinals had to do more than just stop the speedy Hayes In gaining a with Dallas Both Teams Sport 2-3 Records 56,000 Homecoming Fans To Waich Illini-Stanford in the battle ol Eastern unbeat- ens, but they did stop him. Hayes gained just 24 yards on three pass receptions and didn't score a touchdown for the first time in eight games, counting exhibitions. "He's next to impossible to cover," said Cardinal defensive back Abe Woodson.

"AU I tried to do was destroy his patterns. Only the fact that our pass rush hurried the quarterback saved me a couple of times." Now it's the Browns' turn to try and stop Hayes, who leads the NFL with seven touchdown passes caught. The Browns already have lost two of their five games while Dallas is 4-0-1 and St Louis, which plays Washington is 5-0-1. Another loss could be damaging to the Browns, who are trying to win the title this year without Jimmy Brown. This is the first meeting between the teams, but Cleveland played St Louis last month and lost 34-28.

The Cowboys sport a couple of awesome statistics going into Sunday's game. They lead the league in total offense, averaging 434.6 yards a game, and in pass offense with a 278.2 average. The Browns, meanwhile, have allowed 212.4 yards a game through the air, and only Atlanta has given up more yardage. Atlanta, incidentally, has more than a rough task Sunday in trying for its first league victory. The Falcons play Green Bay, the Western leader with a 5-1 mark.

In other NFL games, Los Angeles is at Chicago, Minnesota at Baltimore, Philadelphia at New York and Detroit at San Francisco, In the American' League, Eastern Division-leading New York hosts Oakland, Western leader San Diego is at Boston, Miami is at Houston and Kansas City Is at Denver. St Louis appears to have a comparatively easy task to remain undefeated, playing Washington, 3-3. In their first meeting the Cardinals scored 17 fourth-quarter points, for a 23-7 The Redskins' biggest threat is Bobby Mitchell, who the league with 28 pass receptions. Green Bay also should remain atop the West. The Packers Wanked Chicago last Sunday, and the Falcons shouldn't do much better.

Chicago, meanwhile, will try to get back in the scoring column against Los Angeles, which is only one game behind the Packers. The Rams also would like to stay ahead of the Baltimore who will seeking their second victory this season over Minnesota. The New York Giants finally have a victory on their side but must halt Philadelphia's Timmy Brown, who had his best game of the season last week, rushing Purdue Vs. Spartans- Bang! Bang!

CHAMPAIGN, m. (AP)-Illinois and Stanford, each striving for a .500 record, clash in an intersectional football game before some 56,000 homecoming fans Saturday. The mini have been forced into continual shuffling of their halfbacks because of, injuries and so far have had the same baddield combination start.

2 in the nation, and trying to win back the No. 1 spot it relinquished to Notre Dame this week. Purdue is No. 2 in the Big Ten and trying to win its first undisputed conference title since 1929. Since both teams are unbeaten in Big Ten play and both play lesser-ranked conference rivals the rest of the season, Saturday's game well could decide the Big Ten title.

MSU goes in with a 3-0 record (5-0 over-all) and Purdue has a 2-0 mark (4-1 over-all, with a 26-14 loss to Notre Dame). A Purdue victory could clinch a Boilermaker trip to the Rose Bowl next Jan. 1, but a loss would not knock the Lafayette, team out of the run for the roses. MSU played in the Rose Bowl last season and, under conference rules, cannot be the Big Ten representative at Pasadena this time. If MSU wins the Big Ten title, the second place team, possibly Purdue, probably would go.

Rookie Rich Johnson, who has started there for two games, is recovering from a concussion and may see limited duty. The remainder of the backfield includes sophomores Bob Naponic, Bill Huston and Carson Brooks.

Stanford also has had injui-y problems but is expected to be near full strength. Both halfback Bob Blunt and quarterback Gene Washington are listed as starters after recent injury bouts. After three straight losses, the Illinois have beaten Ohio State 10-9 and Indiana 24-10 in Big Ten action. Stanford has lost to Minnesota, Oregon and 21-7 to fifth-ranked Southern California in its last start The Indians have defeated San Jose and Tulane. "Injuries have kept Stanford from reaching its potential this year," says Illini scout "Gene Stauber.

"Washington has a knee injury but played in the second half against USC last week. Blunt just returned after missing the Oregon game. If Washington doesn't start, it will be Chuck Williams and I think he is a better passer while Washington is the better runner. "I feel that Stanford may just be coming into its own. Despite three loses, it has scored against everybody and has been in the game against everybody." This will be the fourth meeting of the two teams in a series that started in 1952, when the Illini swamped the Indians 40-7 in the Rose Bowl game.

Illinois has a 2-1 edge. Bulls Blow; Hawks Win By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The three-game winning streak of the new Chicago Bulls in the National Basketball Association was snapped San Francisco Thursday night. The Bulls went down fighting, m-m, with Guy Rodgers of Chicago, formerly with San Francisco, coming to blows with Paul Neumann and Rick Barry of the Warriors. John Kerr, the Chicago coach, also was ejected from the bench for disputing the calls of the officials. St.

Louis whipped Detroit in the only other NBA game scheduled. Barry threw in 43 points to lead the WaiTiors to their victory over the Bulls at San Jose, Calif. Nate Thurmond was second high with 19 points and 18 rebounds. Rodgers led the Bulls with 26 points. Lou Hudson, the rookie from Minnesota, teamed with veteran Zelmo Beaty and Len Wilkens to lead St.

Louis over Detroit on the Pistons' home court. Beaty got 31 points and 20 rebounds. Hudson and Wilkens each scored 24 points. Dave De- Busschere topped the Pistons with 32 points and 19 rebounds.

In the AFL, the New York Jets will try to start another undefeated streak against rampaging Oakland. The Jets were blanked by Houston last Sunday but will be back home where they seem to do better. San Diego also will try to get started again after Offering a loss and a tie in the last two games. Boston, meanwiiile, has a tie with the Jets and a victory over Buffalo in its last two contests.

Miami is fresh from its first victory, but Houston may be fresher from its big shutout over New York.

(AP) John Charles, Purdue's ace defensive halfback, was lost to the Boilermakers for the season Thursday when he suffered what was described as "a complete separation" of his left shoulder. The 6-1, 195-pound senior from Linden, N.J., was hurt just before the close of the day's practice.

The squad was working on short kickoffs and CSiarles was hit as he went for a loose football. His team's No. 2 man in tackles and assists, Charles was just 23 yards short of a school season kickoff return record. He had returned 11 kicks for 271 yards, including an 84-yard sprint against Southern Methodist Last week he gave the Boilermakers two vital points in their 22-21 victory over Michigan by tackling the Wolverines' Rich Sygar in the end zone for a safety.

Despite a hole-in-one on the Persol Meets 'Big Train' In Heavy Clash By MURRAY ROSE Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Jolinny Persol punched the bags all week and repeated over and over, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Tonight, the 6-foot, 180-pound graduate of the light heavyweight class tries to carry it out in a 10-round main bout at Madison Square Garden against Amos (Big Train) Lincoln, the 6-foot-4, 205-pound, third-ranking heavyweight contender from Los Angeles. Surprisingly, Persol is rated even in the betting against the bigger, heavier and harder-hitting Lincoln, unbeaten in his last seven fights.

"I'm not worried about his size," said Persol Thursday night. "I think it will even be an advantage. I'll be a lot faster. A win over Big Train could move me up faster in the heavyweight class." Persol is ranked foui-th in the 175-pound light heavyweight division. Lincoln, 29, is ranked third in the heavyweight class.

Tired of waiting for a shot at heavyweight champion Cassius Clay, Big Train is keeping himself busy. "After I take care of Persol I've got another warmup in Los Angeles when I get back and tlien I have a fight booked in Calgary on Dec. 6 against George Chuvalo," said Lincoln. "Chuvalo is gonna be (Thristmas present." As for Persol, Lincoln said "I'm gunning for a quick knockout. I've got a midnight plane booked for Los Angeles.

Williams Says Hell Kayo Clay HOUSTON (AP) -Cleveland Williams went on the record Thursday with a pledge to knock out Cassius Clay when they box in Houston Nov. 14 for the world title. "I honestly believe I'll knock out aay." Williams said after a seven-round workout at his ranch training camp. Williams' statement came after his second viewing of films of Clay's 15-round decision over Canadian Geox'ge Chuvalo.

Talking about Clay, Williams said, "if he could punch, he'd have taken Chuvalo out of there." Williams looked sluggish in the rounds with his sparring partners Ben Black, Jeff Davis and Chuck Leslie, admitting later, "I just couldn't get started." Two former Mt.

Small College Football Poll By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Qiattanooga, advancing like an oncoming choo-choo train, roared into fourth place in the Associated Press' small-college football poll today. North Dakota State remained No. 1 while North Dakota held the runner- up position.

In 10th place a week ago, Chattanooga downed third- ranked Middle Tennessee State 5-0 last Saturday and climbed six places. The setback dropped Middle Tennessee to ninth.

Centralla, with its mammoth prep line and fleet backfleld corps, rates the edge on paper, but Benton's tough defensive unit is pay- big little mind to the Orphans' abundant press notices.

The Benton coach was referring to the powerful shots of Jerry McCarrj- and the gallops of Roger Westbrook off Centralia's single-wing offense. If McCany and Westbrook are stopped, tlien coach Jim Evers has speedy Fred Hill and pile-driving LamaiT Meeks as a couple of other good bets. The Centralia backs operate behind a line which includes Larry Session, at 238 pounds, Kenny Hill. 291, Gerald Blacks, 257, and Mark Stiffel, 255.

(AP)-They Wred Jim Mackenzie to put Oklahoma back on top of the collegiate football world and Saturday his young Sooners try to make it a rocket ride to prominence.

Deanna is five years old and her daddy is Vince Dooley, coach of the Bulldogs. Georgia, sharing first place in the Southeastern Conference with Florida and Alabama at 2-0, takes on upset-minded Kentucky in an SEC clash Saturday. Dooley always cooks breakfast for Deanna and it must be said that his daughter isn't too enthusiastic about that. "I get up with my daddy, so he can cook me some cereal," she says.

"That is all he ever cooks. Just old cereal. I wLsI: he could learn to cook something else. I'm tired of cereal." Terry Hanratty, Notre Dame's sophomore quarterback, apparently has recovered fro.m a sore aim and is expected to return to an air attack with Jim Seymour his No. 1 target.

The Irish wore down North Carolina along the ground with Larry Conjar doing the bulk of the work last week. Oklahoma, hoping its speed can overcame Nob-e Dame's size, is a two-touchdown underdog. Michigan State, which squeezed past Ohio State 11-8 last week, will depend on tlie runing of Bob Apisa and Clint Jones to overcome the. passing of Purdue's Bob Griese.

Oklahoma's biggest victory came over Texas, 18-9, and the Soonei-s have scored 103 points while giving up 20.

The game matches a pair of sophomore quarterbacks whose differ, but whose effectiveness cannot be questioned. Terry Hanratty, the 6-1, 190- pound Irish passing whiz, has completed 46 of 78 passes for 797 yards and five touchdowns. Bob Warmack is the Sooner signal-caller, and he's a wispy youngster who reportedly has been losing weight since tipping the scales at 159 pounds several weeks ago. Warmack, a six-footer, is a deceiving ball handler, a better runner than a passer, and has been the Sooners' "big play" man when the chips are down. Where Hanratty's chief target is another sophomore, Jim Seymour, Warmack has picked out senior split end Ben Hart as the leading recipient of his roll-out passes.

Seymour jias caught 31 passes for 628 yards and five touchdowns, while Hart has scored twice on 15 catches that netted 261 yards. Halfback Nick Eddy, who now ranks 14th among the all-time leading ball carriers at Notre Dame, and fullback Lan-y Conjar have been the leading rushers for the Irish. Eddy has collected 253 yards rushing on 37 carries, but he also returned a kickoff 98 yards to score in the season opener against Purdue. Tailback Ron Shotts, a 201- pound junior, leads the Oklahoma running game, carrying 80 times for 260 yards. Wingback Eddie Hinton has been effective running as well as receiving.
