situa tion from its own 29 Howard sent his punting specialist Eddie Wcrntz of Savannah into the game under the wild card rule Wcrritz got off a good kick 44 yahls but there were off setting penalties on the play and the ball was brought back to the 29 So Werntz punts again only this time Auburn is offsides which gives Clemson a first down at the 35 Which means that Clemson is ready to go but has no quarter back in the game since Werntz substitutes for the quarterback So what does Howard do? Werntz must stay in the game for one play under the rules Docs Howard let him run one play at quarterback or send in another quarterback and move Werntz to another backfield position? The grizzled Clemson coach decides to let Werntz handle the quarterback job for the one play he must be In there And Werntz fumbles Auburn's Dave Gulledge recovers at the Clemson 31 and the Plainsmen move to the tie breaking touchdown in two plays things like this that make coaches grow old quickly Statistics Ha Tech Tulane i a R5 123 13 1 740 I to Tide QB Scores One TD Passes or Another Sets Up ield Goal BY MAX SKELTON HOUSTON (AP) Pat Trammell a 193 pound senior passed for one touchdown and ran for another Saturday night as undefeated Alabama scored its sixth straight victory by defeating the University of Houston 1 i Trammell's passes also sparked a 42 yard second period drive that led to a 33 yard field goal by Tim Davis Shortly after kick the Crimson Tide cut loose with a 62 yard touchdown surge Three rranimell passes accounted for 46 yards including a five yard touch down toss to Bill Oliver A fumble at the Houston 8 stopped a 72 yard Alabama ram pigc powered by Mike racchia in the third quarter Seconds later however the Tide recov ered a fumble on the Houston 15 Trammell carried over after with two seconds left for an 1 1 raCchia moved to the 2 in two vic lory over Western Carolina carries Bob Schelling Is Named Top AL Manager NEW YORK Bob Sehef fing who led the Detroit to their highest finish since i950 was named the American Lea gue's manager of the year Satur day by the Vnitcd Press Inter national's board of baseball ex perts The 46 year old native of Over land Mo received 27 of the 36 votes cast by the UPI board In top rookie manager Ralph Houk of the New' York Yankees and Bill Rigney of Los Angeles! angcis houk received six while Rigney received the three Schcffing who previously man aged the Chicago Cubs in the Na I tional League made the Tigers a season long contender this year and eventually brought them home second behind the Yankees Tlie Tigers had been rated no higher than fourth and as low as sixth in pre season rankings Schcffing a catcher during his playing career is nicknamed "Grump" but actually brought a firm but quiet hand to the helm1 of the Tigers i Under his patient handling Norm Cash suddenly developed into one of the major league's leading hitters rookies Jake Wood and Steve Boros broke in capably at second and third bases and a pitching staff that was short on relief pitching managed to battle it out with the Yankees until the closing days of the campaign to AM Li Min rrTkJ i I i sAffOw ita I Mitr JMal Mi 11 'J i SB 7 1 dsi ff xT 4 I Hr A i i 7 if 1 4 to ir 5 xWhmiL Wuz 'zX 4 5 wto wraw 4 WU z1 'n WSr asB 'z i 1 1 BElinwiMMi JMIT 'rV4r i al fpWliil a et s'SL Hwi IBHIiil.
