Detroit Lions Tanple With Francisco By RON RAPOPOnT Associated Preig Sports Writer It's a strange Thanksgiving Day for the Green Bay Packers, and Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys have a few adjustments to make, loo. the Detroit Lions are in the same old rut. The Packers, who normally play the Lions on the holiday, have relinquished that task this year and instead are sitting home watching Detroit tangle with the San Francisco 49ers. And instead of their usual Thanksgiving menu of turkey and television, the Browns and Cowboys slug it out in the Cotton Bowl starting at 6 p.m., EST in a crucial Eastern Conference NFL game. In the APL, the lone action was between the Eastern Division-leading Buffalo Bills and the Oakland Raiders, second in the Western Division.

i The Cowboys are tied with St. Louis for the Eastern Confer- en lead, just a half-same ahead of the Browns. A Cleveland victory put the Browns ahead of the Cowboys and if the Cardinals are upset by Pittsburgh Sunday, Cleveland would lead the conference. The last time the Browns and Cowboys met, five weeks ago in Cleveland, the Browns raced off to a 30-7 lead and coasted to a W-21 victory. Dallas quarterback Don Meredith was harassed all day by the Cleveland defense and had four passes three by Ross Fichtner.

Cleveland has beaten Dallas seven times in a row and 11 of the last 12 t'mes the clubs have met. Leroy Kelly of the Browns, the league's leading rusher, will be out to edge closer to the 1,000 yards gained mark. He's just 170 yards away. Frank Selvy Becomes Coach At Furman, Succeeds Alley GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -I Frank Selvy, Furman Unlver-' sity's new head basketball coach, says he may make a few minor cbangos In the Paladins' basketball plans for the coming season, but basically, he and his successor Lyles Alley on the same things." Selvy, 34, was named Wednesday to succeed Alley, his old coach, who resigned after 20 years as basketball coach to become Furman's full-time athletic director.

Selvy has been associated with Furman since the earlv 1950's when as a student at the Bap- tist college he set '22 major college basketball scoring records and popularized the jump shot In the South. A native of Kentucky, Selvy gained national recognition for scoring 100 points in a game in 1954, a record that still stands. Selvy said he considered the Furman basketball program currently to be In the rebuilding stage, but added that there areas in which ths 1956-67 team pleased him, "We have a lot of work to do, but the boys are real enthusiastic and have hard," he said. been working Solvy named Paul Scarpa as his assistant and said both ha and Scarpa will share recruiting duties. Scarpa was hired last summer to coach the Furman freshmen.

An assistant to Alley for the past two seasons, Solvy retired from professional basketball in 1964 after eight years with the St, Louis Hawks and the Minea- polis and Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. In making the announcement of the changes, Furman Presi- White Sox Outfielder Is Honored Rookie Of Year CHICAGO (AP) Outfielder Tommie Agee, the brightest spot in the 1966 Chicago White Sox baseball picture, says he is honored and thrilled for being named American League rookie of the year and hopes he can perform as well in 1967. Agee, 24, captured 16 of 20 votes by the selection committee of the Baseball Writers Association of America to win rookie honors most overwhelmingly since Tony Oliva of the Minnesota Twins polled 19 of the 20 in 1964. "It's a wonderful thrill and the greatest honor I've had in baseball," said Agee from his Mobile, home. "This has been a big year for me first being'named to the All-Star team -and now this.

1 just hope I as well next season. "Manager Eddie Stanky really Reserves the credit. In spring training.he told me that I was Steve Spurrier Is Hamed Nation's Most Outstanding going to be his center fielder and he backed that up by saying I never would be sent back to the minors. He said he was going all the way with me. My confidence grew and it continued to grow all season.

"Any time I got a little down, Stanky would come around to encourage me. I owe him a lot." Nash, the big Kansas City pitcher who had a 12-1 record and a 2.06 earned run average after a late start, was second to Agee in the balloting but received only two votes. George Scott, Boston's first baseman, and Dave Johnson, who became Baltimore's regular second baseman, each received one vote. Agee, formerly the property of the Cleveland Indiana, appeared in 160 games for the White Sox, averaging .273 with 22 homers, 98 runs scored, 83 runs batted in and 44 stolen bases." dent Dr. Gordon Black well said: "After being here two years I have decided that we need a ulltimo athletic director who will work with all sports, not erve as coach of any and report directly to the president," He said Alley was given the choice ot continuing as head basketball coach or becoming fulltime athletic director.

Alley had acted as athletic director in addition to coaching basketball. Alley declared that "while I will miss coaching, I am happy that Dr. Blackwell asked me to serve in this capacity and I will work earnestly, faithfully and enthusiastically to carry out his wishes." He said Selvy "knows his material thoroughly." Selvy still holds 11 of the 22 scoring records he set including the most points scored in a single game and the most points scored in a season and the highest average for a single season. Selvy said, "I never had any idea when I played here that some day I would be coaching Furman I'm really happy." The Furman squad opens its Week's Best By MIKE RATIIET NEW YORK (AP) Kent Me- Cloughan of the Oakland Raiders came out of Broken Bow, but Al Davis knew ho wasn't going to be a spear carrier. The only thing is McCloughan didn't know it.

"When the Raiders talked to me, it was mentioned that I might be a flanker," McCloughan explained. "But I knew I was going to be a defensive player, although I thought I would be a safety. I felt I might be too tall to be a cornerback." But the 6-foot-l, 190-pound former Nebraska star has been just the right size as far as the Raiders are concerned and he proved it again last Sunday when he intercepted two passes and blocked a field goal attempt in Oakland's key 17-3 victory over Denver. For that performance, keeping the Raiders in a challenging position in the Western Division race, McCloughan was named today the Defensive Player of the Week in the American Football League by The Associated Press. McCloughan, however, had to have doubts he would ever reach that peak.

A standout offensive performer at Nebraska, McCloughan admits he was apprehensive, and still is. But Davis, then the Oakland general manager, knew what he wanted. As soon as Houston drafted McCloughan, Davis completed a trade for him. "A lot of the guys I had to play against were faster than I am," McCloughan said, explaining his apprehension. "It's pretty frightening, to be opposite basketball season next Thursday at home against Newberry, the school he scored his points against.

1S-TW BoWfoniam guys like Lance Alworth, El Dubenion and Gino Cappelletti. I'm 100 I still a little apprehensive any- I time I play a top flanker.

(AP) Steve Spurrier was on the practice field Tuesday doing cal- 'isthenics with his Florida teammates less than two hours after learned he won the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding college football player of 1966. "There's not mucn chance to celebrate," Spurrier told newsmen at a hastily arranged press Conference. "We've got Miami to think and you can't let up be- 'fore a game like that," he said. Spurrier was as'poised before the cameras and floodlights and endless questions as he has been on the Saturdays he has led the Gators from behind to nearly unbelieveable victories. "It was certainly a thrill," he admitted.

"The margin I won it by shocked me a little, though," he said. "Florida didn't play on television this season and we were not seen over the country." He got 433 of the 869 first- place votes from Ihe nation's soorts writers and a total of 1,679 points. Second-place Bob Griese of Purdue had 184 firsts and 816 points. Next were Nick ddy of Notre Dame 456, Gary bfcUOLA 318, Floyd Little of Syracuse 296'and Clint Jones of Michigan State 204. Florida 1 and Spurrier will be seen on television the Orange Bowl game against Georgia Tech the night of Jan.

2. He is looking forward to it. At every opportunity, he mentioned his teammates, sharing with them this and all other honors he might win. "I know the other players are almost as happy as I am," he said. "They are a great bunch.

With this team it's all for one." He was asked to look ahead, beyond this Saturday's regular season wind-up against Miami, beyond his trip to New York to receive the Heisman Trophy Dec. 1, beyond the Orange Bowl at Miami, beyond the Hula Bowl in Hawaii, Jan. 6 to the time he will play as a professional. "I don't know which team will draft me," he said. "Some people say it will be the New York Giants.

It I do go to the Giants, it will be a real opportunity, but I won't talk to the pros until after the Orange Bowl officially or unofficially."

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT Bernstein Set A Varied Pace By CYNTHFA LOVVRY AP Television-Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP) Most viewers must have been fascinated Wednesday night by the way maestro Leonard Bernstein could move from rhapsodizing over Beethoven to swinging a few snatches from "Secret Agent Man." The talking, singing, piano- playing conductor and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra were back on CBS to start another series of "Young People's Concerts," and the program possibly because of its difficult subject, seemed even more informal and slangy than usual. Bernstein explained and re- explained musical modes, which apparently are synonymous with musical scales, and he moved busily from podium to piano, from Bach to the Beatles to Illustrate his points.

The program, now in color, was taped in New York's Lincoln Center before an audience largely composed of children. It is a safe bet. however, that the living room audience held as many adults as children, and that the older ones enjoyed it as much, if not more, than their juniors. Tills Is the official start of the Christmas buying season, And, If someone flipped a master TV switch, we suddenly start Santa Glaus in assorted sizes and wealth of whiskers. "Jingle Bells" and "White Christmas" suddenly vie with the top 40 tunes on radio disc jockey shows.

And by Dec. 25, as usual, we will be heartily tired of them. Bill Cullen will join Betty White on New Year's Day to give NBC's report on the Pasadena "Tournament of Roses Parade." It will be Cullen's first assignment to the jab, but Betty's 13th year as on-camera hestess of the event. CBS' next National Geographic Society special will be "The Hidden World" of insects -on Dec. 13.

The most controversial program of the coming weekend probably will be ABC'r Saturday "Scope" which this season has concentrated on the Viet Nam conflict. The program will show segments from "Viet Rock," a protest play with music now playing off Broa and containing savage satire. "It represents another point of view on this vital subject," explained a network executive, almost nervously. Shop These After Thanksgiving SPECIALS Friday Saturday Rayon? We Have Both!
