BUCKEYES' PARKER ALSO MAKES GRADE Since the Downtown Athletic Club of New York established the Heisman Trophy in 1935 for the outstanding college player of the year, the award has been almost the exclusive property of fancy stepping backs who managed to live the season in the headlines.

Strange, indeed, that in almost a quarter of a century of play there never has been an interior The veteran Jess Neely, of Rice, who conducted the voting for more than 500 coaches throughout the country, pointed out that a mid-season leg injury ended a "strong" player of the year bid by Michigan State's Clarence Peaks. He said that Jon Arnett, of Southern California, also was a casualty of the Pacific Coast probation ruling limiting him to five games. Kramer and the other players will appear on a.

national television show (Ed Sullivan) at 8 p.m. Sunday. In announcing Kramer's repeat selection, the magazine hailed the Wolverine senior wingman as "doing everything an end can be expected to do and a lot more." Football's first All-America team of 1956 appeared Monday and the name of Ron Kramer led all the rest. Michigan's magnificent end was selected for the second straight year by the American Football Coaches Association for Collier's magazine. Jim Parker, Ohio State's great blocking guard, was the only other player honored from the Big Ten conference.

With a hint of the official Turn to Page 28, Column 3 DUFFY DAUGHERTY, of Michigan State, was quoted as saying: "Gave us more trouble, offensively and defensively, than any other lineman we faced." Daugherty disclosed that in the Spartans' 9-0 victory, they used two blockers against Kramer.

"But they couldn't move him," Daugherty said. "We didn't make a first down In the first half mostly because Kramer jammed the tackle hole where we like to run." Benny Oosterbaan, Kramer's own coach, praised him: "Ron always came through in the clutch." THE REST OF the team included Joe Walton, Pittsburgh, end; John Witte, Oregon State, and Lou Michaels, Kentucky, tackles; Bill Glass, Baylor, guard; Jerry Tubbs, Oklahoma, center; John Brodie, Stanford, quarterback; Johnny Majors, Tennessee, and Tommy McDonald, Oklahoma, halfbacks; and Jim Brown, Syracuse, fullback. Tubbs was named by the coaches as their "player of the year" to receive the Walter Camp memorial trophy. MELBOURNE (U.R) The Russians wore worried looks at the Olympic Village Monday and sidestepped discussion of the disappearance of a stewardess from their base ship tied up at the Melbourne docks. Officials at the Russian headquarters in the village declined to comment on the missing 28-year-old Nina Paranyuk, but those that understand English pored over every line of the of her vanishing act.

For three seasons Parker has been the key performer in a line that has given the Buckeyes two undisputed Big Ten championships, and ts in position to share the title this season if Michigan is beaten in the finale. Parker won All-America honors last season and is a virtual cinch to be on every top honor team this year. The Heisman would be a fitting climax for a great career.

The Buckeyes have stressed straight "power" football in which they've been content to take short yardage and grind out touchdowns the hard way. One of the youngsters with the unglamorous job of doing the blocking up front has been Parker. If you're willing to take the word of rival coaches and professional scouts, Parker is DEPT. OF RANDOM THOUGHTS What gives if the Lions and Chicago Bears still are tied when the firing ends It could happen, you know.

whereabouts. ANOTHER RUSSIAN who also declined to be identified said "it is certainly very peculiar that this girl Paranyuk should remain missing for such a long time." His statement came 36 into Bell's hat and pull out one of the two slips. That draw will decide the site of the play-off game if it's needed. Only way it can be avoided is for the Lions to bump the Bears twice or keep fingers crossed that either the Giants or Cards do it for them. The fact that the Rose Bowl will be a rematch of a regular season game (Iowa 14, Oregon State 13) shouldn't rub any luster off it.

Biggest item is that Iowa is going out there as the Big Humez Whips Tiger Jones In Paris Bout Harry Suffrin has Herringbones at their Handsome Best PARIS (P) Charles Humez, of France, Monday night outpointed Ralph (Tiger) Jones, of the United States, in a slambang 10-round middleweight fight with both slugging toe-to-toe at the bell. As a result of the decisive victory, Humez hoped to get a shot at Sugar Ray Robinson's crown. I oj 1 I I i Ten champion and that's a sweet switch from early season fears that Ohio State and Michigan State would finish one-two, thus forcing the conference to send its third-best team to Pasadena. Oranges Aren't Sweet SPEAKING OF BOWL GAMES, there's no joy in Miami. The Orange Bowl is tied up with the Big Seven and Atlantic Coast conferences.

That means Colorado, twice-beaten and tied, is slated to play Clemson, a team dumped last weekend in convincing style by the University of Miami. All" you can say is that those oranges aren't sweet. Here's a tip to Buddy Farker when he goes to the early draft meeting: Check up on Indiana end named Brad Bomba. He weighs 220, stands 6-3, has snagged 26 passes this year for 341 yards, is terrific on defense and without a doubt will be overlooked by most pro clubs because he was playing for a sub-par team. Incidentally, you haven't heard the end of the budding feud involving the use of college bands at professional football games.

The Indiana band didn't show up Saturday at the Michigan game but did play Sunday for a fee at the Chicago-Los Angeles affair in Wrigley Field. Where's that guy who insists that a right handed pitcher has the edge when he pitches to a right handed batter? He'd better check with Don Newcombe of the Dodgers whose mark of 27-7 was tops in the majors last summer. Big Newk gave up the amazing total of 33 home runs with 23 of them hit by you guessed it right handed batters. Jim Parker The victory was also sweet revenje for Humez, who claimed he was robbed when he dropped a split decision to Jones in their only previous meeting at Madison Square Garden last March 23. A CROWD of 13.000 highly partisan to the Frenchman, cheered the two fighters throughout as they slugged each other from the opening bell.

Humez won on the strength of a flicking left hand that kept Jones from boring in whenever the Frenchman appeared in trouble. Jones, from Yonkers, N. weighed in at 157 pounds and Humez at 160. Both fighters were bleeding at the final bell. Neither fighter appeared close to going down at any time, but both were shaken several times.

Official scorecards are not announced in France. j- Rocky Lowers Boom on Al PROVIDENCE, R. I. API Middleweight contender Rocky Castellani beat a bleeding Andrews to the canvas twice Monday night in scoring a unanimous 10-round decision at the Rhode Island Auditorium. Castellani, of Lynwood, N.

i weighed 160 and Andrews, of St. Paul. 160. Castellani completely out classed his bewildered foe. Andrews went down for the mandatory eight count on two solid left hooks in the fourth round and again in the fifth.

Hart ICO9 Constance HERRINGBONE TOPCOAT Glueil to Their Seats? MUST REMEMBER to run a check on how many times a topnotch hockey team wins on its own ice. Home cooking must mean something. Look at the weekend series between the Red Wings and Montreal. The Canadiens win Saturday night by four goals in Montreal, then lose by five goals to the same team the next night in Detroit. What's with the sad looks on faces of Briggs Stadium concessionaires? Is it true that they had a so-so sales on hot dogs and stuff Sunday when 55,788 Lions fans jammed the park and that the big reason was because the halftime show was so great that most customers stayed glued to their seats.

i Can't keep from wondering if the announced season's attendance record at the University of Michigan is real, or I synthetic.

Referee Ray Miller stopped the fcout in St. Nicholas Arena at of the 10th when Constance was reeling helplessly and unable Brundage Beaten On Olympic Oath MELBOURNE Avery Brundage.

International Olympic Committee president, Tuesday lost his fight to include in the Olympic oath a promise by athletes not to turn professional. The IOC gave the Chicagoan a sharp defeat when it voted to strike from the proposed oath the phrase "intend to remain" an amateur. Brundage had tried earlier this year to include the phrase for athletes to take before permitting them to take part in the Olympic Games. CcM They drew 58,515 for the Hoesier game. That should make it read 561,689 for the year.

But they announced a record of 566,093 to erase the former one of 563,363 set in '49. Looks like somebody came up with a new-fangled system of addition out there. to defend himself. Constance, weighing 146 Vi pounds to Hart's 145. suffered! his first kayo in 44 professional! fights.
