Williams' name was next-to- last on a list of 41 players retired from active status for at least five years and eligible for election for the first time. His low berth on the new eligibility list could not be classified as a slight on the six- time American League batting champion, however, because the players were listed alphabetically.

In brief. Temple started things Monday afternoon by beating St. Bonaventure 84-72 for the Owls' ninth straight.

LaSalle upset previously undefeated Brigham Young 71-69; Minnesota dumped Cornell 84- 82; and St. Joseph's routed Niagara 9572. The pairings for Wednrsday sent Temple against LaSalle and Minnesota against St. Joseph's. St.

Joseph's, which dropped from second place in the national rankings to e'ghth fter losing twice last week, merely worked out against an out classed Niagara team. The Temple-LaSalle fracas figures to be a typical city rivalry dogfight although Temp'e has a big advantage in heighl against the Explorers. LaSalle probably will have to use the same type of deliberate offense it showed in beating six'h- ranked Brigham Young. target attacks of by countless Williams verba as he compiled a .344 lifetime aver age in a career that began TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1965 when he wes a brash and gangling rookie in 1939 and extended past his 42nd birthday to the end of the I960 season. "Bush" and "gutless" were among the many public terms Williams applied to some of the scribes who generally spent more than half their time wriling about him and the rest of it describing the Red Sox.

He was once fined a record $5,000 by club owner Tom Yawkey for spitting and making vulgar gestures at booing fans and the press box He would often refuse to be interviewed by some writers and was involved several times in a dressing room ban against the scribes. His verbal blasts were limited to the press. He was quoted at various times during his stormy career in attacks on the Marino Corps, for whom he flew as a combat pilot in both World War II and the Korean conflict, against former Pres ident Harry Truman and the late Sen. Robert A. Taft.

Favorite Target But the press was favorite target of the the left- handed slugger. rarely missed an opportunity to jibe writers both in Boston and in the other American League cities the Red Sox visited. The memory of their epic struggles with Williams was fresh in the writers' minds in 1957 when they named New York's Mickey Mantle as the American League's mos; valuable player. Even Mantle wa? astonished by the choice since Williams had batted .388 and won the slugging crown that season. Even so, the betting is strong Williams to the Hall of Fame on his first bid.

According to the Red Sox, Williams will play a more active role under his long-standing title of "executive assistant" with the ball club starting next season. If he isn't in the Hall of Fame by then, it should make for a very interesting time covering Williams and the Red Sox.

(Courier-Times Sports Photo by Alex Zidock) Badge Of Honor FOOTBALL Goes FOK THIRD irsli llth Annual Thorpe Trophy Goes To Cleveland's Brown NEW YORK (NEA) Jimmy Brown of the Cleveland Browns you might as well be saying John Jacob Astor of the New York Astors. Football-wise. The incomparable fullback of the defending champions of the National Football League today was named the winner of the llth annual Jim Thorpe Trophy by Newspaper Enterprise Association. The award symbolizes the most valuable player in the league and is voted by his peers, the men on the active rosters of the 14 NFL teams. This is the third time Brown has been named to the high honor in a record-filled career that now spans nine years.

Brown first gained the pinnacle of the players' esteem in 1958 and again in 1963, when he tied for the trophy with Y. A. Tittle of the New York Giants. The trophy presentation will be made to Jimmy on a special one half hour telecast over the Columbia Broadcasting System preceding the championship game on Jan. 2 The program will also feature this year's NEA All-Players All Pro team.

In the voting, the Cleveland fullback more than doubled the total of his nearest competitor injured John Unitas of Baltimore. "Everyone besides Brown is in a different league," noted kicking specialist Jim Bakken of the St. Louis Cardinals. Although the players are prohibited from voting their own teammates, linebacker Jim Houston of the Browns couldn't refrain from commenting, "There is really only one man to consider Jim Brown!" He is the irreplaceable man of the top team in the Eastern Division of the NFL Never injured, indestructible, at the age of 29 he thrives in in the benevolent climate brought to the Browns three years ago by head coach Blanton Collier.

Versatile Jimmy was also on the catching end of 34 passes and scored a career high of 21 touchdowns. It looks as though he gets up more slowly than he ever did and walks back to the huddle in that painful shuffle, but when he's turned loose with the ball, there's no difference in Jimmy Brown.

Halas said the negotiating rights to Louisiana State tackle George Rice were available to any team "which might be interested." "The Bears are withdrawing from the money derby, which Is getting ridiculous and is not conducive to good squad morale he said. Halas said he will work out a trade for the rights, perhaps a future draft choice "or something."

In a show ing of NFL film highlights, the virtuosity of Browto brings applause from tbf most sophisticated audiences.

Unitas, a past winner of tlje Jim Thorpe Trophy, also drew support because it was evident how much meant to the Baltimore Colts when they toppled out of the Western Division lead after he in- juried his knee. John Brodie of the San Fran cisco Forty-Niners was a surprise third. "With the help of some running backs," wrote Monte Clark of the Celeveland Browns, "John showed what he always has had." Namely, a precision passing arm. Gale Sayers of the Chicago Bears, already recipient of the Bert Bell Trophy as the rookie of the year, was the only first-year man who attracted a voting bloc! He was a solid fourth. A fine season for Pete Retzlaff, the 33 year old tight end of the Philadelphia Eagles, received merited attention.

"I know he is a teammate," said quarterback Norm Snead who brackets Pete as his favorite target, "but he is a fantastic football player and had a great year." There was one final fillip which should be noted. Paul Wiggin, Cleveland's defensive end, made a pitch for Leo Murphy. Leo didn't get into a single play thjs year. "He's the Browns' trainer," explained Wiggin, "and deserves it for keeping us in one piece."
