Gone are eight lettermen off last year's squad with only two vets returning for the Flashes this year. utn year menior Ned Seymour reports this year that the Flashes will again be Ismail with their tallest player NEW YORK (AP) Jon Matlack compared baseball writers with Santa Claus after he was voted the National League's Rookie of the Year. Not that he thought the honor was a gift. He knew he was a good boy, using his curve ball to win 15 games for the New York Mets. "When the season was over I knew I'd done the best of any rookie pitcher," the 22 year old left hander said Wednesday, might go for a guy who played every day.

I "Somebody could tell you 16 times vou're coins to win it and you're still not sure until you! 'Bama After Team With Only 1 Loss TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) Second ranked Alabama chose to go to the Cotton Bowl instead of the Orange Bowl because it wanted to play a team with only one loss, says Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. "I just can't see playing a team in a bowl that has lost two games," Bryant says. The Orange Bowl teams, Notre Dame and Nebraska, both have lost one game and both face foes ranked higher in the standings in their next en counters. The 8 1 Irish battle top ranked Southern California in two weeks and fifth ranked Nebraska plays fourth ranked Oklahoma Thanksgiving Day.

Bryant's words came in response to a charge by Notre Dame Coach Ara Parseghian that Alabama "took the easy way out" by choosing to go to the Cotton Bowl to play Texas. "We would be honored and privileged to play Notre Dame any time or any place, except at this time," Bryant said. "Texas, I think, has one of! the too five or six teams in the country and they could be in the top three or four when we play them." Bryant took another poke at the Irish bv savins: "if it i should happen that we come Wniim tn ttiA last civ nr savpii uunu uic um wv" minutes of the game, playing for a national championship, we willl not run out the clock." He referred to the 1966 clash between Notre Dame and Michigan State which ended in a 10 10 deadlock. The Irish elected to run the clock out late in the game to preserve the tie rather than to gamble for the victory. Notre Dame was the national champion that year and Michigan State was No.

your fathers giving you a bike for re sun a little surprised when you see it under the Matlark who finished with a 15 10 record, swept 19 of the 24 1 votes cast by the Baseball! Writers' Association of America I committee, winning by the! widest margin since Kenny iHubbs of the Chicago Cubs reaped 19 a decade ago. ThP nniv nthpr niavprs named; in the balloting were Dave der of the San Francisco Gi ants, with four votes, and Mets outfielder John Milner, with one. Matlack, who passed Jerry Koosman and Gary Gentry en route to the number two spot in: the Mets pitching rotation, led the club with four shutouts. His 2.32 ERA also was the Mets' best and fourth in the league. His eight complete games in 32 starts were second only to those of Tom Seaver, the Mets' 1967 Rookie of the Year.

Matlack credits Seaver for part of his success. "Any time I had a problem or a question he was always around," the 6 foot 3 pitcher said of Seaver, his locker room neighbor at Shea Stadium. "Sometimes I'd feel tired at the start of the game and he suggested what to do the day before," said Matlack who added that Seaver's remedy of proper diet and exercise helped. Buffalo's Tyler AP's Defensive Player Of Week BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) As Maurice Tyler raced with the football, all he thought about was "getting close to the goal line close to the sideline." "If they were going to tackle mo nmilH opt nut nf hniinris and stoD the clock." the 22 year old, 190 pounder said.

"And if I fumbled, the ball mostly likely would be dead out of bounds." Tvler. a rookie with the Buf loll DIMS, loll I 1 milling Uut tne team's strong safety. falo Bills, isn't a running back. But he ran like a running back Sunday, going 27 yards to the New England Patriots' 37 yard line with a pass interception. Ten seconds were left in the game.

Placekicker John Leypoldt trotted in, booted a 45 yard field goal and the Bills won 27 24. Tyler's interception, plus another earlier in the game, nine unassisted tackles and an assist on a 10th enabled him to gain The Associated Press' DeFen sive Plaver of the Week awsrd in the National Football League Wednesday. His dad never saw him play at Morgan State, where, Tyler said, "I had 17 tackles against South Carolina State last year. He was a defensive linebacker in college. AUTHOftlH OCALM 1973 Ra NEW YORK (AP) Pro football owners take advantage of security hungry rookies with long term contracts, claims tne executive director 01 tne rational Football League Players Association.

"A fellow who never had over $20 in his jeans will often jump at a four year deal ranging from $17,000 to $22,000," caid Washington lawver Ed Garvey. "If he becomes an instant star, he winds up being underpaid for the next few seasons. If he's hurt or cut from the squad, the club may not pay anything past the first season." Garvey often takes issue wun the NFL upper crust and this week was involved in a furor over player appearances on Western Retains Best Mark For State Schools MACOMB Western Illi nois' football Leathernecks, for the fourth straight season, lay claim to the winningest record among all of Illinois' state uni versities. Last Saturday's 42 14 voctory over Eastern Illinois gave Dar rell Mudra's club a 9 2 finish, he second best record in the 60 year football history of WIU. Mudra, smce coming to West ern in 1969.

has coacnea Leatherneck teams to 32 wins and nine defeats, including 16 victories in their last 18 games. Mudra's 1969 team finished 6 2, followed by a 7 3 in 1970 and another 8 2 last season. The best Western football re cord was accumulated by Lou Saban's 1959 team that went undefeated in nine games and finished the season as the num ber two team in the nation (NC AA small colleges). Mudra team had been rank ed as high as number five in both polls (AP and UPI) this season, but tumbled from the top when two straight defeats stopped a 13 game winning streak. "We have mixed feelings about the season, primarily be cause we were eliminated from post season competition I know at the end of the season.

after we recovered from our midseason injuries, that we would have been as representa trve as any team the committee could have selected, Mudra says. The Pioneer Bowl selection committee eliminated Western prior to last weekend's games in favor of Drake University which lost its third same against Idaho State, 24 21, on Saturday and still must play highly rated Louisville next weekend. Western's injury list extended to as many as 12 starters miss ing one or more games through the middle of the schedule. The bright side of the picture is that we have lost only five graduating 6tarters off this year's team and will return with a winning tradition and ere a underclassmen players next aeason I believe we have some of the best speciality peo ple in the country coming pack next season," Mudra empha sized. The Leathernecks will have back its record breaking quar terback Steve Mikez (DeKalb) who surpassed the school's old total offensive mark for a single season of 1915 yards when he chalked up 1977 yards this sea eon.

He threw for 16 touchdowns and completed 50 per cent of his passes. "Steve is just a great stabilizer to our football team he has learned to read the defenses and has a tremend ous attitude about life," adds Mudra. The Leathernecks will also return every running back and two of three of their top receivers including solit end Mar vin Williams (El Centro Calif. Central Union) who just missed a school record for the most touchdown passes caught in a season. He had 11 and needed 12 to tie the mark.

Williams snagged 36 passes for 752 yards. The returning running backs include junior fullback Peter Bussone (Lake Forest) who gained 585 yards and averaged 5.0 yards per carry, junior tailback Dennis Morgan (White Plains, N.Y.) who scored 10 touchdowns, rushed for 571 yards after missing four games vith a knee injury, and caught another 107 yards worth of Mikez passes, reserve fullback junior Randy Vernetti (Rock ford Boylan) who averaged 5.2 yards per carry in 34 attempts, and freshman Bobby Hardig (Hinsdale Central) who had a 4.3 rushing average and scored three touchdowns in 26 attempts. The versatile Leathernecks, this season, averaged nearly 360 total yards per game and split it nearly down the middle, 184 passing and 174 rushing. Mudra's 9 2 record this season moved his career mark to 99 28 2 and could improve his fourth place ranking among the nation's NCAA college division active coaches. Meredosia MEREDOSIA The Mere dosia Indians, second place fini shers in last year's PMSC conference race, will have to base any success in the upcoming season on a group of unprovens as four starters were lost to graduation.

Notably absent from this year's squad will be All Con ference players Steve Little and Ron Brown, who averaged 14.7 and 11.5 points per game for the 71 72 Indians. Also cone is Bruce Loewy and his 13.3 scor ing average along with starting guard Larry Hardwick. The lone holdover from last year's 17 8 campaign is 5 9 guard Steve Browning, whom first year coach Randall Saladm terms "a good shooter, with good instincts and reactions." Other players cunning for starting berths include 5 11 sen ior Dennis Klopfer, 5 9 senior Tom Parker, 6 0 junior Dave Beauchamp, and 6 0 junior Tim Crow. Moving up from the JV squad and to be counted on heavily for varsity substitution duty are 5 9 Mark Kleinlein, 6 1 John Miller, 5 10 David Staake, 5 Ed Shmnebarger and 6 0 Bruce VanHyning, all juniors. Sophomore hopefuls are 6 0 Jon Alhorn, 5 10 Steve Boyd and 5 9 Don Wells.

Coach Saladin commented on the upcoming season, "Lack of size will be a big problem for us because it looks as if we will not have a starter over 6 0. Our chief assets seem to be a great team, attitude and a real desire to win." Over the past five years the Indians have chalked up a 57 64 record but are coming off two past winning seasons with combined records of 31 20.

Dallas, Detroit Picked In Pro Features Today By BRUCE LOWITT Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Can Joe a a pierce Detroit's staunch pass defense? Can Greg Landry take advantage of the New York Jets' porous pass defense? Can New York's of fense stay in high gear against the Lions without a healthy Emerson Boozer? Can Dallas' Doomsday De fense shut down Steve Spurrier or John Brodie? Can San Fran cisco's secondary handle the Cowboys' wealth of pass receiv ers? Can Calvin Hill run rough shod over the 49ers? The answers on this Thanks giving Day of National Football League action are: no, yes, no, yes, no, maybe. In other words, your peerless pigskin prognosticated coming off a 10 3 mark that put the 10 week record at 80 46 4 tor a percentage, sees the Jets all but dropping out of the playoff picture while the Lions keep their postseason hopes alive and the Cowboys keeping the pressure on Washington while the 49ers tumble out of a first place tie. To be more specific: Detroit 24, New York 20: It's bad enough having to play with just three days' rest but that's no excuse for the Jets. The Lions are going into Thursday's game with the same amount of preparation time. But when you've been as badly banged up as New York was last Sunday against Miami, you've got problems that only time can solve.

The Jets' secondary is already the most vulnerable in the American Conference. Now it has been further hampered, if that's possible, by injuries to three starters, cornerback Steve Tannen and safeties Chris Farasopoulos and Gus Hollomon. New York's offense is the best in the AFC, but a knee injury sustained by Boozer could slow it down just enough to make a difference. He's not only the Jets No. 2 ground gainer behind John Riggins but also a valuable cog in their aerial attack.

Dallas 31, San Francisco 21: The Cowboys' defense finally woke up last Sunday albeit against unimpressive Philadelphia. Now if faces the potent 49ers, who say John Brodie will be ready to play. And even if he doesn't, Steve Spurrier is not to be sneered at after what he did to Chicago. Sports Menu BASKETBALL Nov. 24 Barry at Palmyra, Mo.

"And, it being a secondary boycott, the thing was illegal." Tn Detroit. CBS asked Lion players to appear after their Sunday game.

They refused at first, but appeared when threatened with fines by their club. Garvey said Wednesday that, with the threat of fines, he could not ask his membership to honor picket lines en route to one of the CBS interview ses sions. He added, however, that he "didn't know the players were so obligated under our current contract with the NFL and this matter will come up the next time we talk contract." Salaries will be a major item when the players' union bar gains for a new agreement with the 26 National Football League club owners after the 1973 sea son.

They also amassed nine No.

1 votes last year, when they finished with a 9 1 record, but captured only 256 points for a 2 3 0 i advantage over McNeese State.
