RICK WIXS CONSERVATION- AWARD "In recognition of the outstanding contribution which his challenge to sportsmen has made in the field of conservation and.good sportsmanship in America, "Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker Jacksonville, Jan. 7 (flP Travis Tidwell spun a football web of passes that carfied his Rebel All-Stars to a 22-13 victory over the Yankees in the Senior Bowl game today. Charley Justice of North Carolina and Doak Walker of Southern Methodist lived up to their press notices, but Tidwell was even better. The little Auburn quarterback, who was named most valuable Award Rickenbacker; POST lorida ishiiig Emphasized in the Southeastern Conference, "Willard Marshall in exchange sockers we need in the outfield.

'They used to shoot those left-handed pitchers at us and get by with it. Now, with Gordon, a right-handed power hitter, teaming with Bob Elliott, our thirdbaseman, I don't think they'll handle us so easily." Sain 'Always Does His Job' Much has been made of the fact that the Braves gave Johnny Antonelli, a kid pitcher, over $60,000 to sign up, and he won a mere five games last season. 'Twas said that John Sain and others became disgruntled because they were working for a lot less in the aggregate. "Listen," said Tommy, "Sain is the kind of a pitcher who goes out there and does a job every time. He tries, and he usually does his work.

Sure he might have beefed a little. As for Antonelli, maybe some of the fellows were a little burned maybe they beefed but after all, you have to remember that when the club gave the kid that money they were trying to do something, doing it in the interests of producing a winner. "And, when they produce a winner that means about $5,000 more money for each player. "I have to admit I'm the side of the ball player. I'm a player myself.

All oi us want to win. AH of us want to be a regular. All of us are fighting to win games. A lot of the reported dissension on the Braves was exaggerated. I say we had trouble, all right, like other bail clubs.

But the thing was overplayed." "I don't always get what I want in the way of salary and I argue. But I have tried to make it a policy that when I left the club office shook hands and both sides were satisfied with the deal made." Rocky Fears Fighters Killed Not In Shape I asked Kooky Graziano and his manager, Irving Cohen, what they thought might-be done to avert so many boxing fatalities and serious injuries. "Well," said the rugged Rock, "for one thing they could add more padding under the ring canvas. More fighters are badly hurt by hitting the floor than they are from the actual blows to their heads. "I think doctors should give fighters closer examinations before the bouts.

I think they should know whether a fellow is in shape or not after they examine his heart, pulse, lungs and all. "In my opinion many times a boy goes into the ring when he is not ready or able to stand up under a hard pounding. "But, I think there is a certain amount of risk involved in boxing. I mean, boxers draw down pretty good money for an evening's work. They should take some risk.

Like automobile race drivers and other people in dangerous games. They get well paid especially vthen they're winners. "I still don't believe a fighter in top-notch condition can get badly hurt, or killed, by a blow. I should know something about it; I've taken some beatings myself." Cohen believes a headguard, particularly worn at the back of the head, plus more padding in the ring would be the answer. and Jim Owens, Oklahoma end.

Campbell threw 27 times, hit on IS for 147 yards. Only 20,000 fans turned out to see the All-Stars star. But they got a real show out of the 50 players. Besides the aerial fireworks was a demonstration of tough defensive line play by both walls. Tackle Wade Walker of Oklahoma and Center Clayton Tonne-maker of Minnesota, both All-America, led a Yankee line that held the Rebels to 46 yards by rushing.

The Yanks could run for only 63 against a Rebel line that was tough from end to end. Key kick returns by Justice and Doak Walker added to the thrills. Walker started the Yanks off to their first score with a runback for 57 yards. Justice opened the way to two Rebel touchdowns. He went 26 to begin the first drive and 29 to start the last.

Tidwell tossed 19 times to con Vanderbilt for a 55-yard play that scored the first Rebel six pointer. On fourth down he set one in the arms of John O'-Quinn, Wake Forest End, for 13 yards and the second. Another Tidwell to Rich toss covered most of 33 yards in the final touchdown march.

Eddie Price, Tulane Fullback, scored it with a one-foot smackover. Dick Sheffield, Tulane, booted two extra points and the Rebels picked up another pair when Jim Duncan, Wake Forest, blocked one of Lebaron's kicks. Before the Rebels got started, the Yankees had their scoring fling. Taking it from D. Walker's 57-yard runback, they moved 32 yards in a hurry.

Lynn Chand-nois, Michigan State, rammed over, from the four. Darrel Royal of Oklahoma, who played only defense because of a bad leg, started the Yankees off to a 76-yard scoring march with a pass interception the only one off Tidwell's arm. Lebaron threw to Owens on a 46-yard scoring pass. D. Walker kicked one extra point.
