The AAA-AAAA unit, sitated because Central is the only AAAA school in the North District, features an offensive senior backfield which boasts of more than 6,000 total yards through the recently-completed regular season. The AA, with a strong Grand River note, and the featuring mostly Highway 275 and Central River stars, also boast prolific backfields. Rick Thompson, who doubled as a guard, and Dave Rooney finished with only one yard separating them in rushing offense en route to Cameron's 10-0 season and the Grand River title. Their combined totals added up to more than 1,600 77 40 5 Larry Dunham Dave Rooney Rick Thompson Ron Wiedmaier All-District Thu Thumbnails CLASS A JOE MCQUERRY, LAWSON, scored 18 touchdowns and led team in total offense in a 9-0 regular season.

JEFF COPELAND, ROCK PORT, All-Highway 275 Conference selection on offense in his junior and senior seasons, possessed quickness and rated an excellent blocker.

Good college prospect according to his coach, Dennis Gates. LARRY ROSE, EAST BUCHANAN, great speed and quickness, averaged 15.3 tackles per game. BILL ALDRICH, LAWSON, fast and durable, led the blocking on sweeps for Cardinals in regular season. TED WHARTON, STANBERRY, fast guard, rated by coaches participating in the ballotting as a steady performer despite being only a sophomore. ROYCE BROCK, LAW- SON, good blocker up the middle, doubled on defense and teamed with Aldrich to give ti the Cardinals a fine interior front for McQuerry Co.

MILTON PRATT, STANBERRY, All-Grand River choice on offense two years and defense one year, an outstanding defender who had over 2,400 career yards for one of the top teams in the league. SCOTT MILNE, SOUTH HOLT, defensive captain who came back strong after missing his junior year because of an injury. Was all-conference in Highway 275 his sophomore year. Also carried the ball 92 times for 478 yards and scored three touchdowns. WES STRANGE, LAWSON, a strong defensive vote getter in the Central River, Strange was an unusually good' two-way performer at tackle and nose guard.

BILL WYMORE, WEST NODAWAY, "A big reason why we held six opponents scoreless this season," comments Wymore's Coach, Ed Hughes. CLASS AA RICK THOMPSON, CAMERON, carried 117 times for 582 yards, scored nine touchdowns as a fullback. Second leading defensive player with eight tackles per game, an allconference selection in the Grand River. JOHN BYRNE, LEBLOND, led St. Joseph scorers with 62 points, a big factor in the Golden Eagles' dash to a .500 seathrough the last five games.

Two years All-City performer. DAVE ROONEY, CAMERON, senior halfback with a fiveyard average on 118 carries, had over 800 yards in total offense as a leading performer for undefeated Dragons. DAVE MCDANIEL, BETHANY, rated by his coach, William Maus, as an exceptional I blocker and fine runner and receiver, Dave had over 700 Irish Fall to Sixth Irish Fall By The Associated Press Notre Dame's stunning 38-28 defeat at the hands of Southern California the past dropped the Fighting Irish from fourth to sixth place. in The Associated Press college football poll Monday while Texas, Ohio State and Nebraska held onto the top three positions. Arkansas, No.

5 a week ago, and Tennessee, No. 7, slipped ahead of Notre Dame into fourth and fifth, respectively. Texas, one game away from a 10-0 regular season, received 23 first-place votes and 788 points from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters across the nation. Ohio State, 9-0 and Rose Bowl bound, pulled down 12 first places and 752 points while Nebraska, 10-0-1 and headed for the Orange Bowl, got five top votes and 702 points. The other two first-place votes went to ninth-rated Arizona State.

Texas crushed Texas last Thursday 52-14 while Ohio Unanimous yards in an offense which fea- tured the blocking of end Ron Wiedmaier and tackle Larry Dunham. LeBlond found the touch in the second half of the season and came back behind the running of John Byrne, pass of end Andy Gatton and the catching and end around plays blocking of Steve Gilpin, who made the transisition from tackle to guard a spectacular one. Dave McDaniel, praised by his coach, William Maus, as an exceptional blocker and a fine runner and receiver, joins the two Cameron athletes and Byrne in the backfield on AA. Like many of the players on the roster, McDaniel doubled on defense as Bethany's roving cornerback. Rock Port quarterback Dave Meyerkorth and halfback Randy Bunn represent the state champion Blue Jays in the Class A backfield, joining forces with Lawson's Joe McQuarry and Terry Toomay of Braymer.

End Richard Makings, a favorite target of Meyerkorth, and tackle Jeff Copeland were the other Rock Port selections. Lawson, loser to Rock Port in the first round of the Class A playoffs, also placed end Dennis Schuab, guard Bill Aldrich, center Royce Brock. and nose guard Wes Strange, a 6-4, 205-pound senior who led the defensive specialists in number of votes on Class A with eight. Because sportswriters over the state reasoned there were fewer changes from offense to defense in the Class A and AA brackets, the small schools were allotted only four defensive specialist while the AAA and AAAA schools place full defensive units on the roster. That trend will be followed on the state level.

If Anderson and Chillicothe made 1970 the year of the quarterback and the Hornet, then linemen Smith, Nurski, Monach and Fair certainly put the boys up front in the spotlight. For the first time in years, linemen actually received as much space in the sports sections throughout the North District as the backs. Smith and Fair gave Chillicothe the two finest tackles we've ever seen on one high school team. Nurski and Monach kept the defense in the spotlight in St. Joseph.

We've pointed out the talents of Nurski and Monach in the sketches under their pictures as we did with the other unanimous selection, however, maybe one of the most memorable preformances from the two athletes came in their junior season when Benton shaded Coaches Praise Devaney KANSAS CITY (AP) The other Big Eight Conference football coaches paid tribute Monday to Nebraska's Coach Bob Devaney. Nebraska, the nation's third ranked team, went through the regular season with 10 victories and a tie, won the Big Eight title with a 7-0 record and will play in the Orange Bowl at Miami, Jan. 1. Coach Eddie Crowder of Colorado said Devaney "should be the national coach of the year" for the job he did with the Cornhuskers. Kansas State Coach Vince Gibson, whose team lost to Nebraska 51-13, said Devaney "convinced me that Nebraska has a great football team.

think it's the best team in America." "If anybody's better than said Coach Floyd Gass of Oklahoma State, "I sure wouldn't want to play them. "Somebody asked me after the Nebraska game if we made any mistakes in the game. I told them the biggest one was showing up." Missouri Coach Dan Devine said it was "nice to be here at the Bob Devaney testimonial. We played Notre Dame and Air Force, and Nebraska is the best team I've ever seen in a long time. Devaney deserves to be national coach of the year." Similar sentiment was expressed by Coaches Johnny Majors of Iowa State, Pepper Rodgers of Kansas and Chuck Fairbanks of Oklahoma.

Actually, it wasn't a testimonial luncheon for Devaney. The coahces are here for the Big Eight winter meetings and had lunch with sports writers and sportscasters. Devaney's reaction to all of the praise: "I'm not going to argue with you Picks Central to force the Indians into a co championship with LeBlond (then Christian Great Nurski-Monach Duel We commented at the time that Nurski and Monach kept the public address announcer as busy as those persons who parked their cars in the wrong places or lost billfolds, purses or children. In that outing Nurski and Monach finished in a dead heat with 13 tackles apiece. They've been running strong every since and provide St.

Joseph with two of the strongest linemen in years. We feel the 1970 district team, which reaches out to include two outstanding players from Carrollton and two more from Brookfield, is one of the strongest in history. Wymore Biggest Player West Nodaway de fensive tackle Bill Wymore has the distinction of being the biggest player named to the district level this season. At 6-6, 248 pounds, Wymore is one big reason the Burlington Junction Rockets shut out six of their Highway 275 opponents this season. On the other side of the physical ladder, several boys are tied at 150 pounds.

There's little to choose from in size among the three offensive lines, with the AAA-AAAA unit averaging 190 pounds and the other units averaging at 6. feet, 185. The AAA-AAAA backfield is the biggest, averaging pounds, The AA unit averages at and 5-11, while the A unit is small at 156, 5-10. Bright Future Nine underclassmen, forged their way onto the district roster, including two sophomores Jay Randall, defensive back for Benton, and Ted Wharton, offensive guard for Stanberry. Juniors honored were Central defensive end Doug Wood, Chillicothe defensive tackle James Carr, Thompson of Cameron, Byrne of LeBlond, Don Cole, Maysville center, McQuerry and Schuab of Lawson.

With nine underclassmen on the unit, the future looks bright. The percentage of repeats usually is high. This season Smith, Nurski, Anderson and Dunham repeated while only Ron Musser of East Buchanan (Gower) failed to do so. Represented on the 1970 North All-District team are 47 athletes from 19 schools and eight conferences. Players named come from a big area of 11,132 square miles.

MIKE NIBLE, BETHANY, "Best blocking lineman on the team, extremely effective in one-on-one situations, and on the short trap, which, for example, broke for 36 yards on our goahead touchdown against.

Maryville," Coach Maus reports. Perhaps even stronger on defense. In the King City game, Nible threw the quarterback for losses four times, once forcing a quick throw which Bethany intercepted.
