The Daily Northwestern 17 Dec. 28, 1971 I Ch phirts, lers uominare ll-Sfar Selections A NEW YORK (UPI)-The Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs, who tied for most victories -in the American Football Conference this season, dominate the 1971 AFC All-Star, team as selected by the United Press International. The Dolphins, who captured the Eastern Division with a 10-3-1 record, named six players to the all-conference first team while the Chiefs, who won the Western Division with an identical record, placed five on the first unit. It marked quite a turnabout for the Dolphins, who did not have a single player the offensive unit and three on the defensive squad. Wide receiver Otis Taylor and tackle Jim Tyrer were selected to the offensive team and middle linebacker Willie Lanier, linebacker Bobby Bell and corner-back Jim Marsalis were chosen to the defensive unit.

Tyrer, Lanier, Bell and Marsalis are all repeat selections from a year ago. It marks the seventh straight selection to the all-AFC team for Bell and the fourth year in a row for Tyrer, who has been an All-Conference choice on six occasions overall. The Baltimore Colts, runners-up to Miami in the Eastern Division had three players named to the first team while Houston, New York, Oakland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Denver, Cleveland and San Diego each had one player selected. The Colts named center Bill Curry to the offensive team and placed linebacker Ted Hendricks and end Bubba Smith on the defensive unit. Curry's selection at center snaps a 10-year dominance of that position by Oakland's Jim Otto.

Other players named to the offensive team were tight end named to the 1970 squad. Miami had four players selected to the offensive unit and two to the defensive squad in a balloting conducted of 33 sports writers who cover the AFC on a regular basis at least two writers from each AFC city. Those Dolphins selected to the offensive team were wide receiver Paul Warfield, quarterback Bob Griese, running back Larry Csonka and guard Larry Little. Named to the defensive team were end Bill Stanfill and safety Jake The Chiefs placed two men on diil iijiiii ililuin Ik I ji i il iitoi iwiimijiP i nm i iii.ii.inl fr- I l--. gjft it 'V -4 -sH 'K ft? 1 5 i I 1 I I i Titans Back in Action In Cage Tourney Tonight other four players we should be all right." Bernard Redfield (6-1) sports an 18.5 average for the Cougars, while Gary Hickerson (6-3) is averaging 14.1 and Dennis St.

Leger (5-8) is hitting at an 11.8 rate. The Titans will be led by 6-6 junior forward Greg Seibold with a 16.0 average, while Rocky Jiroch (6-0) and Todd Lindeman (5-10) are averaging 13.4 and 12.4 points per outing, respectively. Either Steve Young (6-3) or John De Young (6-4) will get the call at the other forward and Gene Graham (6-3) and Dan Berner (6-8) will share center duties. "We've been doing a decent job on the boards this year, although we have been a little inconsistent," White said. "Our defensive phase of the game has been good, but we need more second shots on offense." While rebounding and defense have been good spots in the Titan attack this year, shooting has been a poor one, with the team hitting on only 40 per cent of its shots.

"We haven't shot well all year," White mused. "And we haven't shot well at home. I thought the field house would be an advantage, but all the teams we've faced here have shot a better percentage then we have." "I really can't understand why we don't shoot better," he continued "Jiroch and Lindeman haven't been consistant this year and even Greg Seibold has been off. I know we are better shooters than we have shown." In the opener Milton's "Run and Gun" tactics may have to be scrapped for a more deliberate offense against a powerful Northern team. The Northern Wildcats have a 5-2 record and are considered the tournament favorites.

The Milton Wildcats are 4-4. Gary Sacheck (6-6) leads Northern with a 22.7 average, while 6-2 Richard Neal is hitting at a St. Xavier Lee Loses Control Marshall's Russell Lee (55) loses control of the ball as he tries to drive the lane against Wisconsin's Kim Hughes, left, during the opening round of the Milwaukee Classic tournament. Wisconsin's Lee Oler is behind Lee. The Badgers dropped an 85-83 decision to Marshall on a last second shot.

UPI Telephoto Marquette Wins; By DAVE GREY "Northwestern Sports Editor A long final exam and holiday break has left the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh's basketball team in poor physical condition for the start of the holiday bas-, a 1 1 tournament at Kolf Sports Center tonight. The Titans have had only three practices in last 14 days and according to Oshkosh Coach Bob White, "The kids are really out of shape." Compounding the fitness problem for the Titans will be the fact that the opening night opponent, St. Xavier of uiicago, is a running ball club that has averaged points an outing this season in rolling to a 7-2 record. The Titans face St. Xavier in the 9 p.m.

game, while Northern Michigan opens with Milton College at 7 o'clock. "I really don't know an awful lot about St. Xavier," White explained while preparing films to show to his team. "They do like to run a lot and they do like to drive." "I feel we can beat them, but the key will be good defense," he added. "I don't think we can outscore them if we run with them, but if we play good defense, and do a job on the boards we can beat them." Leading the Cougar attack is 6-5 center Larry Jones, who is averaging 26.5 points an outing and 17 rebounds.

According to Dave Buss, head coach of UW-Green Bay, who played St. Xavier this year, Jones is an intimidating player, who can do it all. "I don't really know if we can hold. this Jores down," White said, "But if we can shut off the Milt Morin of Cleveland, tackle Winston Hill of New York, guard Walt Sweeney of San Diego and running back Floyd Little of Denver. It is Little's third consecutive year on the All-AFC first team The defensive unit is rounded out by tackles Joe Greene of Pittsburgh and Mike Reid of Cincinnati, cornerback Willie Brown of Oakland and safety Ken Houston of Houston.

Brown is a member of the All-Conference team for the fourth successive year and fifth, time in his illustrious career. Kansas City and Baltimore head the list of second team selectees with five each. The Chiefs placed guard Ed Budde and quarterback ten' Dawson on the second team offensive unit and end Aaron Brown, tackle Buck Buchanan and cornerback Emmitt Thomas on the defensive squad. Baltimore named tackle Bob Vogel and running back Norm Bulaich to the offensive team and middle linebacker Mike Curtis and safeties Rick Volk and Jerry Logan to the defensive unit. Other second team selectees on offense were: wide receivers Fred Biletnikoff of Oakland and Gary Garrison of San Diego; tackle Bob Brown of Oakland; guard Gene Upshaw of Oakland; center Bob DeMarco of Miami; tight end Ray Chester of Oakland and running back Leroy Kelly of Cleveland.

Named to the second team defensive squad were: end Elvin Bethea of Houston, tackle Manny Fernandez of Miami, linebackers Larry Grantham of New York and Ron Pritchard of Houston and cornerback Earlie Thomas of New York.

But Tacy and his Thundering Herd only read half the book on the Warriors, and everyone knows that the book didn't get too good until you're halfway through it. 19.2 clip, 6-2 George Barber at a 16.4 pace and 6-3 DuWayne Blanchard at a 15.7 average. Northern also sports great height in its reserves. Milton will have to rely on its two fine shooting forwards. Chuck Didier (6-3) is averaging 22.6 points a game and 6-3 John Hayek is hitting at an 18.1 clip.

White's Titans will be shooting for their third title in the seventh Oshkosh holiday tournament. This year's tournament is sponsored by the Lakeshore Ki-wanis Club and the proceeds will be used for the new shelter house at Menominee Park. The Titans won championships in 1956 and 1959. Carroll College won titles in 1961 and 1962 while Eastern Illinois University won in 1957. The first holiday tournament was held in 1956, the first season of play in Albee Hall.

The Titans won the first holiday tournament by defeating Carroll, 85-84, in 1956 and then lost to Eastern Illinois in the championship game the following year, 86-81. Oshkosh regained the title in 1959 by beating St. Norbert, 79-70. In 1960 the Titans were fourth and in 1961 beat Norbert for third place, 75-70. In 1962, the last year of the tournament at Albee Hall, Oshkosh was second as Carroll beat Oshkosh in the championship game, 85-83.

UCLA Tops Cage Poll By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Most college basketball teams relaxed last week and the inaction was reflected in The Associated Press, weekly poll, which showed little movement among the nation's Top Ten teams. UCLA remained No. 1 with 28 first place votes and 676 total points in voting by The AP panel. The other seven first place ballots went to Marquette, which accumulated 628 points for second place.

South Carolina, North Carolina, Southern California and Ohio State hold down the next four slots no change from last week's poll. Then comes Indiaria, up one notch to seventh place, ahead of Brigham Young, which slipped to eighth. St. John, N.Y. took over ninth place and Long Beach State dropped to 10th.

The second ten had three new members Hawaii and West Virginia tied for No. 18 and Tennessee No. 20. Dropping out were Florida State, Jacksonville and Ohio University.

MILWAUKEE (UPI) Marquette isn't interested in being a gracious host. It's interested in being a winning one. The second-ranked Warriors, the highest-rated team in action in the 11 holiday-week tournaments being played Monday, romped to an 88-44 win over Georgetown in the opening round of the 10th annual Milwaukee Classic, of which they are the host team. It was the seventh straight win for Marquette, which managed the easy victory despite playing reserves who shot only 20 per cent in the first half. The Warrior regulars came out steaming in the second half, however, and opened up a 56-28 lead with 13:38 left in the game.

Four of the six points scored by the hapless Hoyas early in the second half were goaltending calls against Jim Chones. Chones led all scorers with 17 points and George Frazier added 16 for the Warriors, who meet Marshall tonight in the finals. Marshall gained the finals with an 85-83 victory over Wisconsin on a 25-foot jump shot by Mike D'Antoni in the final five seconds of the game. After Marshall University earned a spot in tonight's final game of the Milwaukee Classic, Coach Carl Tacy, had two choices. One was to keep his team at the Milwaukee Arena, and watch the Marquette Warriors crush Georgetown.

The other was to take his team home to bed to rest up for the final. Tacy compromised. He stayed for the first half and saw Marquette shoot only 20 per cent from the floor but still take a 32-22 halftime lead over Georgetown. At halftime Tacy opted for bed and led his team out of the Arena. That might have been a big mistake, because the Marquette team of the second half was vastly different from the one of the first half.

"I'm kinda glad he left at halftime," said Warrior Coach Al McGuire of Tacy's premature leavetaking. "I hope he believes what he saw. I sure don't. For us to shoot only 20 per cent is unbelievable." The Warriors shot 64 per cent in the second half hitting on 25 of 39 shots and won 88 44. Georgetown managed an even better 66 per cent in the second half, but the Hoyas only took nine shots, while making six.

Maybe Tacy felt his team needed the rest after his team won a thriller, 85-83 from Wisconsin. The Badgers surprised the Thundering Herd by taking a 41-31 halftime lead. Wisconsin still led, 76-69 with time running out. With just five seconds left, guard Mike D'Antoni hit a 25-foot jump shot to give Marshall the victory. "I'm very disappointed," Badger Coach John Powless said after the game.

"We wanted to hold the ball but their pressure defense just got to us." Marshall's pressure defense is going to be tough for the Warriors tonight, too. "They're a lot like Fordham, only bigger," Hank Reynolds, Marquette's brilliant assistant coach and team tactician said after the game.

The North's short touchdown drive produced the only razzle-dazzle and dispute. On the first play, quarterback Dean Carlson of Iowa State lateralled to quarterback Daigneau both in the game at the same time who threw an 11-yard pass to Carlson.

Two plays later, Bruce Laird of American Institute College ran 12 yards to a first down at the South four, and fumbled, but officials ruled the ball was dead before Majors recovered it, and that put the North in position to score four plays later.

The South made one threat in the first half, when the Rebels went 56 yards to the North 10. But Bill Armstrong of Delaware shut off the march by intercepting a pass thrown by Arkansas State's James Hamilton.

Kentucky linebacker Joe Fe-derspiel stopped a North drive just before halftime with the first of his two interceptions of Daigneau passes. Federspicl won the most valuable player award for the South, and Keith Schroeder of Iowa State won the North MVP title.

Durrance, a running star for the Florida Gators, smashed over his right tackle from the one-yard line for the score that tied the game with 6:59 left on the clock.

Tennessee's Bobby Majors booted a perfect extra point for the victory. Until that time, it was a raggedly played contest before a slim crowd of 18,640 in the cavernous Orange Bowl. The two teams produced 9 turnovers, three fumbles and six pass interceptions, which effectively halted any offensive spectacular.

The reason for their loss was a 29 per cent average from the floor as the Panthers hit on on ly 20 of 76 shots. UWM is now 2-5 for the season and LIU 7-L Quarterbacks Wrong in Playoff Gambles land, Kansas City and San Francisco. Would you believe that ALL the pivotal plays for the winning teams were called by the quarterbacks, and not the coaches? And would you further believe ALL the pivotal calls for the losers were made by the coaches, not the quarterbacks? You wouldn't believe it, huh. Okay, let's take the four ball games one at the time: SAN names Bob Lee Bl hl3 quarterback.

Lee has trouble moving the Vikes. Garry Cuozzo comes in and does fine. There's one hitch. Grant waits until the fourth quarter to bring in Cuozzo. Too late.

All this, I suppose, carries a moral with It. I'm not completely sure what it is except maybe that when you put 15 big ones on the line, don't worry about the "boys" at all. All that money hai'a way of enabling them to "man's" job. Stenerud keeps coming up empty and the Chiefs blow the ball game. DALLAS-MINNESOTA Right call: Cliff Harri3 Intercepts Bob Lee's pass for the Cowboys early in the third period with Dallas in front, 6-3.

Roger Staubach, calling an audible at the line of scrimmage, uses a draw to feed the ball to Duane Thomas, who goes for a score straight up the middle. That takes care of the Vikings. Wrong Call: Bud Grant players have a valid point, other times they're talking just to hear themselves talk and because the company is good and besides, name a better guy to pick on than the boss? Publicly, however, all players are different. Especially after they've been around awhile. You're never going to catch a couple of fellows like John Unitas or John Brodie criticizing their coaches In the press.

They know better. So does Bob Griese even though he doesn't have near the wraps up the ball game for the Colts. Wrong call: Nick Skorich, the Browns' coach, goes with Bill Nelsen all game long and poor Nelsen can't generate a thing. MIAMI-KANSAS CITY Right call: Bob Griese calls for roll up trap, Larry Csonka goes 29 yards and sets the stage for Garo Yepremian's game-winner. Wrong call: Hank Stram keeps going for field position for Jan Stencrud, the best field goal kicker In the league.

Jan Right call: Third quarter, Forty Niners behind, 10-3, third and inches to go, Brodie calls a long pass to Gene Washington look, Ma, six points! Wrong call: Same quarter, Redskins ahead, 10-3, fourth and inches to go on the San Francisco 11, George Allen passes up three points, goes for six and winds up with nothing. BALTIMORE-CLEVELAND Right call: John Unitas, making his own calls, hits 6 for 6 during a 93-yard drive which time in Unitas or Brodie do. Roger Staubach is in the same boat. As a former Navy officer he knows the one thing you never do is second-guess your superior. Not publicly, anyway, or the next thing you know they've got you monitoring a radar screen off in the Arctic somewhere or maybe washing dishes.

All this seldom mentioned protocol comes to mind because of what happened this past weekend in such diverse places as. Bloomington, Cleve By MILT RICIIMAN NEW YORK (UPI)-When ballplayers get together privately, their conversation gen-Zerally runs to the same two subjects. A women, and their bosses. It's a toss-up which group is to rougher handling. Baseball players are prone to pick apart their managers for over-managing and football players seem to enjoy telling each other how they're always nvofj'nar'hpd.
