Veteran Center Has 14 FC's And JJ FFs; Yates High For MTV The pro Philly Warriors have Wilt Chamberlain, the L.A. Lakers have Elgin Baylor and West Frankfort's high school Redbirds have Bobby Brown. He's one of those boys who does the job by himself. The 6-8 Brown, a three- year prep cage) veteran as well as a tremendous football quarterback, drummed In 14 field goals and 11 free throws for 39 points Saturday night as his Redbirds dropped Mt. Vernon in a South Seven conference grame, 59-50.

Brown was the South Seven's, leading scorer last year with an average of over 22 points per game. If last Saturday's performance against the Rams was any sort of an indication, the Redbird center has just been warming up for bigger feats to come. The Rams played a good ball game, holding fom- of the Frankfort starters to a total of seven field goals and actually pointing the Birds from the field 22 bucltets to. 21, but there seemed to be no way of stopping Brown who did his major damage with twisting jump shots from the side, often while jammed by Ram defenders.

The Rams' press didn't bother Frankfort much in the closing minutes, and the locals weren't; able to cliallenge again. Brown scored seven points In the first quarter, 18 in the second, five in the third, and nine in the last period en route to his 39-point totaJ. His 18 markers in the second stanza came on six field goaJs in ten shots, and six charity tosses on nine chances. Frankfort won the game at the free throw line, 17 charities to six. The Birds had 35 chances, to only 18 for Mt.

Vernon. Thus, neither club hit well on free throws, hut Frankfort had a hefty margin in the supply department. Brown himself drew 22 free pitches, making only 11. "I never remember Bob having such a bad night on free throws," said Tom McKie, Franldort official scorer, after the game. A team manager said Brown had hit 58 of 60 free ones in practice last Wednesday night.

The Brown Inc. victory gave West Fnankfort a 4-1 standing for the. season and a 2-0, mark in the South Seven. Lone Redbird defeat wasi administered by Pinck'neyville The Pan- fiiere wrecked the Redbirds with effective pressing defense. The setback gave Mt.

Vernon 15 30 43 55 Bears Close With 52 Points In Victory i CHICAGO (AP) The Chicago Bears closed their National Football League season with their greatest scoring burst in five years when they batted the Minnesota Vikings 52-35 Sunday. Not since their 58-27 victory over Baltimore in 1956 had the Bears scored so many points as' they avenged a loss at nesota in their season opener. The triumph gave the Bears an 8-6 record, good for a third place tie with Baltimore in the Western Division of the NFL. Quarterback Bill Wade was the big hero. mised the previous game against Cleveland because of a groin injury and was on the bench at the start of Sunday's game.

The Vikings quickly grabbed a uaiy. Coach Lan-y Hawkins, whose Caiver Challengers lost to Marshall, 51-49, in the 1960-61 semi finals, has a tall front line 6- forwards Robert Cifax and Cazzie Russell and 6-6 center Joseph Allen. Carver's guai-ds are Marlbert Pradd, 6-1, and Bruce Rackett, 5-7.

Yates hit three times for Mt. Vernon in the second but it was all Mr, Brown and his 18 markers and Frankfort opened a 35-25 halftime gap.

Jones and Beeson sparked the Vernois oh a drive as the third quarter opened. The locals pulled tup to before Brown again got Frankfort rolling. Tlie period closed with the Birds on top 42 -38. Yates hit twice as the last quarter started and Mt. Vernon trailed by one point, 43-42.

Then, once again, BroNvn took over. He scored, was fouled, made the free one, then scored again. Fi-ankfort led, 48-42, and Yates' jeered quarterback Ed Browm' to the City league last season, boasts such a point that owner-coach the tallest all-around squad in Clii George Halas finally called on cago. Starters are Forwards Pat Wade. McEnroe, and Dan Davis.

Wade responded with fourlG-'iVo: center Ron Martin 6-6; Brown rates as "the be.st center in Chicago when it comes to running thiough pattern plays." Wlien Lonnie graduates, Brown plans to replace him with another 6-6 man, Albert Austin, a good shooter, but not as strong physi cally. DuSable is taller than Carver. Forwards are Raymond James, 6-3, and Russell Lynn, 6-5 sophomore, kid brother of Lonnie, wth Mike Lewis, 5-6, and Oscai' Brasheai-, S-lOVs, at guard. Marshall, which dropped a 63-59 practice decision to DuSable, graduates at mid-year its two starling forwards, Eddie (Shaky) Jakes and Lenwood Flint. Jakes is 6 feet tall and a great shooter when he's hot.

Flint is 6-3. Coach Harvey Hartenstein's oth- ei' Marshall starters are Lawrence Sharp, 6-8 center, with juniors Ben Lilly, -6, and Leonard Perry, 5-9, at guards. When Jakes and Flint get their diplomas, Donald King, 6-1, and Joe Jackson, 6-3 vnU replace them.

By BON WEISS As.soclated Preiss Sports Writer The New York Giants, rebuilt by trades, rookies and a first-year coach, are champions of the National Football League's Eastern Conference for the fourth time in six years and aiming at the title game against Green Bay's powerful Packers at Green Bay on Dec.

31. It will be a replay of a regular Dec. 3, which the Packers won 20-17, but rookie coach Allie Sherman of New York thinks the result may be different. "Green Bay is the best club we've played," Sherman said after the Giants wrapped up the title Sunday in a 7-7 tie with the Cleveland BrowTis at Yankee Stadium. "But we'll be better next time, both physically and mentally.

We'll be loose from now on." The Giants may for a day or two before they "loosen up," regardless of what Sherman may think. Except for a flubbed pass by Ray Renfro, the New Yorkers would instead be spending this week getting ready f-r a division playoff with the Philadelphia Eagles. Tlie Eagles, needing a victory over Detroit and a New York loss to tie the did their part- beating the Lions 27-24 with 10 points in the last four minutes for a 10-4 record. But the Giants held them off by a half game at 10-3-1 because the Browns blew a sure victory over New York when Renfro dropped a 34-yard pass from Milt Plum on the Giants' 8-yard line with about three minutes to play.

The Celtics ran their cur rent victory string to nine by handing the New York Knicker iX)ckers their eighth successive loss, 117-109, and Jerry West sparked the Lakers as they beat the Detroit Pistons 122-116.

Kansas had ai, 6-3-1 record before the bow! ganw. Rice 7-3 ior seaiott. By JIM VALKENBURG Associated Press Sports Writer ST. LOUIS (AP)-The St. Louis football Cardinals' second season St.

Louis wasn't all that was hoped because of an injury the management isn't planning to move the club to another city next year. "Certainly, we'll give it another try next year," said Walter WoH- ner, the (Cardinals' rotund managing director, after the Cards blanked Pittsburgh 29-0 for a sec ond straight fourth-place finish in the National FootbaU League's eastern division. Wolfner added: "We have a hard core of loyal, enthusiastic fans and they have really taken this team to heart. Their support has really helped the club. We will simply have to add to this group.

"Maybe next fall we can give them a winner." He didn't deny, though, that it was a disappointing season for attendance. Only twice in seven home games did the Cards clear the $90,000 Wolfer said they must have to meet their commitments. Only television income avoided a major red ink bath. In the last three games, attendance dipped under 20,000, less than half the NFL average. What's more, attendance was down somewhat down from last season.

The club lost its first tour home games and this hurt. Wolfner signed Sam Etcheverry, a nine-season great in the Canadian league, and the Big Red figured to make a bid for the eastern division crown with Sam at quarterback. But a broken ankle shelved John David Crow, the club's halfback, in August and a discouraging series of injuries worst in the NFL the offensive line. Coach Fi-ank (Pop) Ivy resigned with two games left. The club's outstanding defensive gave up fewer points than any eastern culb except the champion New York mostly responsible for the break-even 7-7 season which nearly matched the 6-5-1 mark of last fall.

The Steelers game Sunday was a prime defenders spoiled Bobby Layne's bid to the career NFL record for scoring passes held by Sammy Baugh. They broke up a tight 7-0 game late in the third period by forcing a fumble and converting it into a touchdown, then swarmed Layne for another fumble which set up the third T.D. CRow was in top form and Et- cheveiTy getting good protection through the last three games, all home park victories over Washington 38-24, Dallas 31-13 and the Steelers 200. Wolfner, kidding his coaches, said "The defense does it all with natural talent and San Diego On Ropes In Final Game By HAROLD V. RATUFF Asi50ciated Press Sports Writer Houston's Oilers have won nine in a row and are champions of the American Football League's East em Division.

Sunday's results indicated that they could pretty well count on making it 10 in a row before winding up the 1961 sea-son. San Diego's Chargers don't look like they will offer much resist ancG when the clubs clash at San Diego next Sunday for the league championship. Houston ran over Oakland 47-16 in a record-making day and this was expected but when San Diego was beaten 41-0 by Boston caused league officials to blanch San Diego sewed up the West em Division championship long ago but was beaten by Houston 33-13. Since then the Qiai-gers have looked about like Houston did before it took stock of itself, brought in a new coach and started off on a nine-game winning streak. San Diego had some injuries but the Chargers never complained about them when they were roaring through 11 straight before meeting Houston.

Definitely there's something wrong with the really fine team of a month ago. Houston's George Blanda and UiUly Cannon led the record- smashing parade Sunday. Blanda threw for four touchdowns, giving him 36 scoring passes for the season. That bettered the league record of 34 set last year by Frank Tripucka of Denver.
