FREEPOR1 IOIJRNAL FRIDAY, NOV. 22, 1957 S1ANDARD PAGE 11 Rice Tackles TCU Eleven In Bowl Bid FORT WORTH, Tex. The Rice express moves in here Saturday hoping to remain on the track to the Cotton Bowl by crushing angry Texas Christian. It's the next to hist step for the Owls in the drive toward at least a tie for the Southwest Conference football championship. A tie would give Rice the host Cotton Bowl spot.

Disillusioned Texas Christian, out of the race and out of even bowl consideration, will be seeking a salvaging victory. The Horned Frogs throw the conference's finest defense against the league's top offense. Rice last week into the driver's seat by tumbling Texas 7-G. Now must beat Texas Thanksgiving Day to gain a tie for the title should Rice win its two remaining Texas Christian and Baylor next week. Since Rice beat in regular season play, it would get the Cotton Bowl host spot in the event of a tie.

Mantle Named AL's Most Valuable Player By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK Mantle voted the American League's most valuable player of the 1957 season today by the Baseball Writers Assn. of America. It was the second straight MVP award for the star center fielder but, unlike 1956, when he swept (he boards, polling the maximum 336 points, Mantle barely beat out runner-up Ted Williams of Boston and Roy Sievers of Washington. Mantle had 233 points, Williams 20!) and Sievers 205. Mantle had only six first-place voles, compared with five for Williams and four for Sievers, but none of the 24 voting baseball writers named "him lower than fourth.

Four On All Ballots Mantle, Williams and Sievers were named on every ballot, as was Nellie Fox of the White Sox, who finished fourth with a surprising five votes for first place and 193 points. Gil Mc- JDougald of the Yankees, commanded the four other first-place votes, finished fifth with 165 points. It was the fourth time in his brilliant career jvith the Red Sox that Williams finished second. He won the award in 1946 and 1949. 8 Cylinder Cars Gaskets and Parts VALVE GRIND SPECIAL $3495 49 95 All 6 Cylinder Cars Trucks Gaskets and Parts LET'S SWAP YOUR CAR FOR A 1958 SWEPT WING DODGE OR PLYMOUTH McCULLOCH MOTOR CO.

Wertz, slugging Cleveland first baseman, finished sixth with 61 points. He was followed by Frank Mateone, Red Sox third baseman, 58; Minnie Minoso, Chicago outfielder, 55; Jim Bunning, Detroit pitcher, 46; and Al Kaline, Detroit outfielder, 40. Twenty-seven players were named in the voting. New York placed eight, Chicago five, Detroit four, Boston, three, Kansas City, Cleveland and Baltimore two and Washington one. Banner Season Mantle enjoyed a banner season although it did not quite measure up to his sensational power hitting of the previous year when he captured the triple crown (batting, RBIs and home runs).

His .365 batting average, although 12 points higher than his '56 mark, was not good enough to win the championship. Neither were his 34 home runs nor his 94 runs batted in. He missed much of the final three weeks of the season, however, because of a serious case of shin splints. Williams enjoyed one of the greatest if not the his remarkable career. At the age of 39, the great slugger captured his fifth batting title with a mark of .388, his highest since topping .400 in Ml.

He hammered 38 home runs although he, too, missed three weeks of the season, and posted a fabulous .731 slugging percentage. Sievers, in his ninth year in the majors, finally came into his own. The 31-year-old outfielder hit 32 home runs and drove in 114 runs to win both titles.
