The South receivers were indeed impressive, with or without Beasley. Barkum may well be the first wide receiver picked the pros this year. The big, fast Jackson State player had four receptions for the day and would have had one long one for the score had it not been for a pass interference call. Bailey of Alabama got three more and Small of Texas Ail played both ways as a wide receiver and cornerback, grabbed another two.

North By FRANK HYLAND Journil-CoreUtollod Stiff Writers MOBILE, Ala. It was Wednesday when J. D. Roberts, coach of the South Stars here in the Senior Bowl, decided Pat Sullivan, the celebrated Auburn quarterback, had had enough passing for one year. It was Saturday when Sullivan decided he had about 23 more tosses to go with the 281 he pitched during the regular season.

Roberts and the South can be thankful for those 23 remaining throws, for they used them to ride to a 26-21 victory over the favored North in the 23rd edition of this south Alabama game. Sullivan, the one who was supposed to have a sore arm, came on to direct two touchdown drives, hit 11 of 23 passes for two touchdowns and key the victory. "We weren't sure until this morning," said Roberts, who coaches the New Orleans Saints of the NFL the rest of the football season, "whether Pat would be able to play or not. But, when he was warming up, he said it didn't hurt him at all. "So we decided to alternate him and Join (Reaves of Florida, the starter)." The official word was Sullivan had tendonitis and, for that reason, didn't throw at all in the Thursday and Friday drills.

That wasn't Sullivan's reason, though. "I was just worn out," the Auburn Heisman Trophy winner said. "I had just thrown too much during the season, that's all. "The rest Thursday and Friday helped, I guess. At least the arm didn't bother me at all out there today." The Tennessee star set up the first South score by returning a punt to the four yard line of the North.

He set up the bounds on the North six which was followed by a short North punt. For good measure, he broke up a sure North six-pointer with a stand-out defensive play. THE NORTH, in the meantime, had to rely on breaks for its offense for the day. And, for the most part, the northerners did very well by the South's miscues.

SULLIVAN had one other handicap on the Ladd Stadium turf, as well. That was the absence of the man he threw to his entire college career, Terry Beasley. Beasley was held out at the last minute because of a tender knee. "I'm sure 1 missed him," said Sullivan. "After all, that's the first game I've ever played without the redhead since I got into college.

"But, those other guys (Jerry Barkum, Eldridge Small, David Bailey and company) are pretty good, too. I Carolina Lewis Jolley, a last minute standin for the injured Johnny Musso, was on the receiving end of three other passes. Had it not been for Sullivan and those catchers, it might have been left up to defensive "VTWul iii tr "ii -i "Mrfaiinini 1 Associated Press Wirephoto TEXAS' JIM BERTELSEN (34) WAS DETERMINED TO SCORE FOR SOUTH North Players Ralph McGill, Mike Kadish and Jeff Lyman Are Carried into End Zone Ui-UJ LUHOlM-iiii Uj iisssiss LUJXU i V.S'XvV. v.ss QUESTION MARK WITH PROS Lenox Square Open Nights 'til 9:30 Monday, Thursday and Friday Perimeter Mall Open A'iA(s 'til 9:30 Monday through Saturday New Location Downtown 84 Broad Street, N.W. at faachtree intersection Lack Speed Bothers ajors Continuing Our Greatest Clearance Sale Ever Siff 1 )r'v--4 I 1 -A 'A Men's Clothing, Furnishings, Hats, and Sportswear at all of our stores Downtown, Lenox Square, West Paces Ferry and Perimeter Mall.

He did it again here Saturday and set up two South touchdowns with his runbacks.

The first came on the last play of the first quarter. He had just punted the ball out of bounds on the North nine with a 54 yard punt, and the North was forced to kick. He returned the punt to the 4 yard line. On the next play, Jim Bertleson of Texas scored the first South touchdown. In the third quarter, with the South down, 14-12, he took the kickoff and ran it back to the North 47, from where John Reaves led the South in.

He almost broke the run all the way. BUT, HE wasn't through. Later, he punted the ball out of bounds on the North 6 yard line. Another short North punt, and the South was in for six points again. "I guess there is a knack to running back kicks like that," said Majors, "but there wasn't anything to it today.

The blockers set up the blocks and I just went up the crease. They're the ones who made it easy." At least he prepared himself for one thing the pros will offer, once he gets there. Payday. For his work he was named defensive player of the game. That meant $2,500 for the afternoon.

He made $4,000, counting the $1,500 share for the winners. And if nothing else, money will make Bobby run. Pat Sullivan not only has a new Heisman Trophy, bt he now iias a new car to carry it around in. Auburn's Sullivan won the car here Saturday when he was named the Most Valuable Player in the Senior Bowl game. Quarterback Sullivan won the award when he passed for 162 yards and two touchdowns while directing two South scoring drives.

Other winners included Tennessee's Bobby Majors as top defensive player, Texas' Jim Bertleson as top South back, Dayton's Gary Kosins as the top North back, and Iowa's Craig demons as the top North defender. By FRANK HYLAND Journal-Constltntlon Staff Writers MOBILE, Ala. Bobby Majors may be an All-America. He may be the finest defensive back ever produced at Tennessee. But right now Bobby Majors is worried.

His worry is the professional football people. He is worried about what they think of him. The problem is speed. Or rather the lack of it. "I'm worried really," said Majors after he had played a major role in the South's upset of the North here Saturday, 26-21, in the twenty-third Annual Senior Bowl before a packed house of some 40,000 fans.

I'm worried whether or not I'll be drafted. Who? Bobby Majors? not drafted? "Well, I mean drafted high," he said, "You see, when I was in the North-South game in Miami they put a clock on me and the best I could do was a 4.9 or 4.85 for the 40. "That's just not good enough for the pros, not for a lot of them." Perhaps, but the same rap was put on Jake Scott, the former Georgia All-America. And Scott was an All-AFC choice this season with the Miami Dolphins. AS ONE scout put it, maybe Majors is like Scott.

He can't do any better than 4.8 until someone's chasing him. Then he can do a 4.4. Thats the way Majors feels at any rate. "I'm not the one worried about my speed," he says. "They are.

If I have to catch someone, I can, unless it's someone like Hayes (Bob) of Dallas." He probably shouldn't be that worried, for he is possessed of too many varied talents for the pros to put him off too long. He plays the toughest safety this side of Larry Wilson. He punts. He runs back punts. He runs back kickoffs.

Does he ever run back punts and kick-offs! In his final game at Tennessee he ran back kicks so well he was named the top v- If lit a II 1 SUITS Were $125.00 to $195.00 NOW99.90 to 155.90 TOPCOATS Were $60.00 To $185.00 NOW $44.90 To $138.90 SPORTCOATS Were $45.00 To $150.00 NOW $35.90 TO $119.90 SLACKS Were $21.00 To $36.50 NOW $18.90 To $32.90 )V Ml i-t 1- 5 H' JSS Associated Press Wireohoto PAT SULLIVAN TALKS WITH ASSISTANT COACH Senior Bowl MVP and Winning South's Ken Shipp North Favored by TD in American Bowl at Tampa Among the Rebs are wide receiver Carlos Avarez, runner Tommy Durrance and defensive tackle Bob Harrell of Florida; wide receiver Kent Gaydos and safety John Lana-han of Florida State; punter John Champion of Florida the ninth grade.

Tagge, who suffered two early interceptions, was superb in the second half, leading his team on three scoring drives. He was named the game's outstanding back.

Defensive end Walt Patulski of Notre Dame was named the top lineman of the game matching senior stars from the nation's college ranks. Penn State's Lydell Mitchell scored the game's first two touchdowns, ramming in from four yards out in the third quarter and one yard in the fourth. Cornell's Ed Marinaro, the all-time NCAA rushing leader, had a nine-yard touchdown run for the North. Southern Methodist quarterback Gary Hammond, the star of the recent East-West all-star game, hit Houston's Robert Newhouse with a 25-yard touchdown pass in the last minute to avert a shutout. After a scoreless first half, the North's first scoring drive in the third quarter stalled at the South eight, when Duke's Ernie Jackson batted down a Tagge pass.

The North settled for a 25-yard field goal by soccer-style kicker Chester Marcel of Hillsdale. Tagge directed the next North serlhs 47 yards for a score.
