Millard McDougald, Mays Tops Yank, Giant Named Rookie Player of the Year Blue Meets Eastern State Here Saturday ar.y r--'aaaaaMaaMiaMamMaai I I 1 ILH.Va-' Both players "were filling more than one position. McDougald shuttled between third base and second base as Manager Casey Stengel benched either Bobby Brown or Gerry Coleman depending on the opposition pitcher. Minoso played third, left field, right field and even did a turn at first.

The National league vote was a landslide for Mays with -18 of the 24 ballots. Chet Nichols, Boston Braves lefthanded pitcher, had four and Clem Labine, Brooklyn Dodgers righthander, had two. Mays started the season at Minneapolis in the American Association where he was hitting .477 when recalled by the Giants, in May. Ousting Bobby Thomson from his centerficld job. Mays played fine ball, showed a strong arm and great speed and finished with a .274 average.

Caught in the grip of a late season slump, Mays was of little help to the Giants in the playoff or World Series. Nichols, 20-year-old Brave prize, had an 11-8 record with three shutouts and 12 complete games. Labine brought up from St. Paul in July, finished with a 5-1 mark, including a 10-0 shutout of the Giants in the i 'aaaar New York, Nor. 16 tAP) HaruhrCa McDougald of the world champion New York Yankees and Willie Mavs of the New York Giants "-share rookie-of -the-vear hon ors for 1951: Selection of AkDougald and Mays as made by the same 24-man committees of the Baseball Writers Association of America (three from each' league city) that picked the most valuable players.

For Decatur set owners who can bring in either KSD-TV (St. Louis) or WNBQ (Chicago) both on channel five there should be special interest for a former Decatur hieh star Roger Williams will be on the screen with the Buffaloes of Colorado. Williams is not only the leading scorer for Colorado but has develop- td into one of the best punters and conversion specialists in the nation. The 192-pcund junior who calls the plays has a punting average of 39.6 yards while he has made good on 24 of his 28 poin.s after touch down.

Tomorrow's Big Seven game with the Cornh-isker closes the conference season for the team from Boulder and then the following Saturday they will travel to East Lansing, Mich, where the Michigan State Spartans will be played in the wind up. Colorado has had a fine season this fall winning six of their eight games and have a chance to knock over Nebraska tomorrow. Dallas Ward of Minnesota is the head coach and another old Gopher, well known to Millikin and Decatur fans. Marsh Wells, is head line coach. There isn't much doubt that jryland will be in a jpajor bowl terence likes it or not.

euw u.njtnpr in rnn- The only doubt is whether it will be the one in New Orleans or the Dallas showing, known as the Sugar and Cotton, bowls respec tively. Dr. "Curly" Byrd, the only col lege president of a major school who was a "big time" coach, will make the decision although it is no secret in the state of Maryland that the players have shown a preference tor the Cotton Bowl. The reason, according to the layers, is the many concessions lallas makes to the players on the contending teams. When 1,000 gathered last Saturday night at the Terrapin club in Baltimore to celebrate the 40-12 win over Navy the Cotton bowl was the topic with little mention being made of the Sugar bowl bid.

It is quite possible that Illinois Wesleyan will be knocked out of the undefeated list tomorrow afternoon in Bloomingtnn and the irony of it is that it will be the school whose team Coach Li hero Bertag-nolli captained, Washington of St. Louis, that will turn the trick. If the Titans could get by Washington they could likely go to the Sun bowl game in El Paso, Texas or the Burley bowl in Jackson, Tenn. is the reason the opponent for Lewis College has not been named for the Com Bowl gam: in Bloomington Thanksgiving day. The Titans just about lose a whole ball club this season as Jake Begley, Harold Bennett, Don Clemens, Bill Cross.

Bait knows all about that one. i At Columbus By Bert Bertine Of The Champaign-Urbana Courier Nov. 16 Illinois' football opportunists rap on the big door Saturday- the one that' opens into the Big Ten throne room which In turn leads' into the promised land of the Rose Barring the way to Ray Eliot unbeaten, untied eleven is a burly, dangerous Ohio State squad which is expected to be at tevensh pitch before a sellout Homecoming throng of 85,000. The Buckeyes have vow ed to destroy Illinois roseate plans much in the same manner its own ambitions were blasted in Cham paign-Urbana a year ago.

On their past demonstrations of clutch ability the lllim are expected to add Ohio as their eighth, straight season victim, and fifth in the con ference. Should this occur Illinois would be "in" for both the league crown and Bowl bid since no other rival could equal its record, even if Northwestern managed another up set in the season finale next week at Evanston. The league-leaders are favored by one to two touchdowns, but many observers feel this will he their most difficult assignment of the year. Several factors are advanced to support the argument. HANDICAPS in Illinois' case are the pressure of an unbeaten rec ord, and a history of trouble with Ohio State in Columbus.

It's not often a Bic Ten team is able to slide bv its entire schedule undefeated; it hasn't happened to Illinois since Red Grange was a sophomore in 1923. Series annals show the Bucks have whipped Illinois 22 times in the past while Illinois was winning 15 and tieing two. Only Michigan hold a better record against the lllim through the years. The Buckeyes have caused the experts much bewilderment this year. Their new coach, Woody Haves, in herited a wealth of talent from th powerful 1950 outfit, not the least of which were such names as Vic Janowkz, Tony Curcillo, Bob Heid, Sherwin Gandee, Kay Hamilton, Dick Logan, Walt Klevay and Ber nie Skyarka.

All were prominent in States success last year. Somehow, this raft of individual stars have never been blended into an impressive unit this season. Ohio has won four games, lost two and tied one. However, its best games have come against such top oppon ents as Michigan State, Wisconsin and SMU. It apparently is a team that plays up to its competition for it played poorly against such lowly- rated clubs as Indiana, Pittsburgh and Northwestern.

WHAT ELIOT and his aides fear is that in their supreme desire to upset Illinois, the Buckeyes will find the unifying spark which has been lacking. Even the strongest Illinois supporter admit Ohio might whip any team in the nation if its brilliant counterparts were blended into a machine. There's no- reason to believe, though, Illinois won't be ready for a titanic struggle. Its goal is so precious there be no possibility Illinois won i go iniu uic tussle prepared to give its utmost. Ohio, whose defense has been uncertain much of the year, can expect to see one of the nation's most versatile offenses paced by Tom O'Con- nell, smooth sophomore quarterback who is rated in the latest statistics as the Big Ten's top passer.

Tom has a lot of horses to unleash against the Bucks Johnny Karras, Don Stevens and Pete Bachouros for wide, fast runs; Bill Tate for power stuff up the middle; and a host of fine receivers in Ends Rex Smith, Joe Ver-nasco and his fleet backs for his own deadly pitches. to the Big Ten conference, Prof. Ralph Aigler, took the same view as Crisler. He declared it would be unreasonable to. ban spring practise outright although some modifications might be in order.

By Howard V.Millard Review Sports Editor Two nearby schools, Eastern State of Charleston and James Millikin, who played as many as four games in two seasons but who have played only eight since 1934 will be out to wind up their respective seasons tomorrow on J.M.U. Field.

Neither team has been quite as successful as expected during the campaign but that will not lessen the desire for victory o.i the part of either group. THE PANTHERS can point to a three-win, two-defeat and two ties over the season while Millikin sports a three and three mark. It could well be called "Senior day" for seven of the visitors will be playing their final collegiate game. Eastern also has a senior Pete Edinger a center from Charleston who was injured in the opening game and has been, out ever since. Red Halliburton a junior at Milli kin will report to the army for in duction next week after three years as regular right halt back.

THE BLUE HAS been hard hit by injuries but as Coach Bob Appleby remarked this morning "We will have 11 players out there tomorrow afternoon. He was only doubtful about three starters when thinking of the offensive eleven. Either Ken Kossieck or Ed Chant will be at center, passing to either Don Hess or in Fitzgerald Dick Halliburton at the quarterback spot. The other doubtful position was left halfback to be manned by Bill Savage the Spring alley freshman or Al Ko- walski. REX DARLING, a fill-in head coach for Pat O'Brien this season is expected to have Ed Soercel a sen ior from Glenview throw most of the afternoon when the Panthers are in possession.

Last Saturday against Normal, aoereel was sidelined most of the time with an ankle injury suffered in the 21-21 tie with West ern. So, what happened? His under study Paul Foreman of Charleston tossed four touchdown aerials to eain a 28 28 tie. The Eastern seniors playing their final-game art J. JJ. Anderson, Col-linsville; Don Henderson, Newman?
