Saber and Tony Packers Jim Taylor NFL Player Of Year By BOB MYERS LONG BEACH.

Calif. (AP) Jim Taylor is a very discreet young man except when he is bulling his way through a horde of acklers in the National Football League. So when the fullback of the de- 'ending champion Green Bay Packers was advised Thursday he lad been voted player of the year the NFL in the annual Associated Press poll, he said, in his soft Southern drawl: "This makes me feel real great. honored, very much. "But credit should go to my which made this possible.

They're great. I couldn't operate vithout them. No one knows this letter than 1 do." The former Louisiana State Uni- Tiger, who still lives in he off-season at Baton Rouge, was awarded the distinction by of football writers and brbad- asters who cover the league in he 14 cities. Taylor is here with the Pack's, awaiting their final game of regular season with Oie Rams i Los Angeles Sunday. Taylor, at 215 relatively small lit powerfully potent, already has tied the league record of 18 for the most touchdowns scored in one season.

He figures to break the mark against the Rams. Green Bay fans have long claimed Taylor merited the honor just received and deplored the fact that for the past few years fullback Jimmy Brown of the Cleveland Browns got most of the headlines. This year Taylor has gained 1,318 yards in 249 carrier and Brown is well down the line with 881. Taylor received 19 first place votes and won rather decisively from his nearest rival, Y.A. Tittle, quarterback of the New York Giants, who had 13.

Others who received ballots were Bobby Mitchell, halfback with the Washington Redskins, four votes; Roger Brown, defensive tackle of the Detroit Lions, two, and Detroit linebacker Joe Schmidt and Lou Michaels, place- kicking specialist and defensive end for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one each. The NCAA officially sanctioned 15 post season football bowl games this year. Jordan Is Best Lineman By BOB GREEN NEW YORK (AP)-Lee Ro Jordan, Alabama's tough, talen ed center was named the nation' outstanding college football lineman of 1962 Thursday in an As sodated Press poll of sports wrt ers and broadcasters throughou the country. Jordan, a 207-pound All-Americ who hopes for a career in professional football, was pressed i the voting only by Bobby Bell Minnesota's giant tackle. Together, they polled more thai half the 126 votes cast.

Jorda: received 40, Bell 28. The rest the vote was scattered among couple of dozen players. Jordai joins quarterback Terry Baker a Oregon State, earlier named Bad of the Year in the AP season end poll. Jordan was almost as devastai ing on offense as he was as a linebacker, but it's in the latte capacity that he hopes to make a professional career. He was the No.

1 draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys of the National Footbal League'and the No. 2 choice Boston of the American Footbal League. "I'd like to take a crack at a defensive linebacker job," Jordan said, "and I think I could get a chance with either club at thai position." Jordan, while relatively light by professional standards, has a 6 'oot-2 frame which could carry more weight. He has the enthusi astic backing of his coach, Bear 3ryant, and the selectors. Bryant, noted for his grudging, mrd-nosed teams, calls Jordan 'The best linebacker in the Southeast Conference and I believe the nation.

There never has been another like Lee Roy Jordan." Jordan, twice named the AP taemarr the week during the 962 season, played almost all the way In all games as Alabama uilt a 9-1 record and secured a pot in the Orange Bowl. In addition to Bell, others gain- ng major voting support were Southern California end Hal Bedole, Texas guard Johnny Tread- wen, Dartmouth center Don Mc- tinnon. Northwestern guard Jack vercko, Washington tackle Ray Mansfield and Washington State nd Hugh Campbell.

Bill Munsey Signs With Canada Team Bill Munsey, University of Minnesota halfback, yesterday signed a contract with, the British Columbia (Vancouver) Lions of the Canadian Football League. The announcement was made last night by the Canadian team. Munsey, former Uniontown High School grid star, was a fourth round draft choice of the Cleveland Browns the. National Football. in League, and also had been tabbed by the New York Titans of the three-year-old American League.

Therefore, Munsey joins former Minnesota and UHS teammate Sandy Stephens in the Canadian League. Stephens, who won All- America honors with the Gophers in 1961, played this season with the Montreal Alouettes. Ironically, Stephens, a quarterback, had been a second round draft pick of the Cleveland team, and an early selection of the Titans. But, disenchanted with both teams, he signed a three- year, no-cut pact with the Als. Munsey was a three-year regular with the Minnesota Gophers, was a member of the 1960 national champion football team, and played in two consecutive Rose Bowl games.

He and Stephens combined to give the Gophers a dangerous passing and running threat the two seasons they played together. No terms in the contract were announced. 11 Scholastic Cage Battles Set Tonight Undefeated Albert Gailatin anc Bedstone hope to keep their records spotless tonight as their headline an 11-game scholastic basketball card for the dis- rict.
