0. J. Gets Unanimous Vote;
Stanfill, Scott On UPI Team
By JOHN G. GRIFFIN
UPI Executive Sports Editor
NEW YORK (UPI)—O.J.
“Orange Juice” Simpson, who
often makes the difficult look
easy, accomplished the •'impos
sible” today when he got the
nation’s sports writers and
broadcasters to agree on one
thing unanimously.
Simpson, the record-breaking
running back from Southern
California, was a unanimous
choice on all 202 ballots cast in
the voting for the 1968 United
Press International All-America
college football team announced
today.
It marked the first time in
the history of the team—the
only All-America team chosen
by direct vote of the nation’s
sports writers and broadcasters
—that one man was named on
all the ballots. The closest
previous approach to perfection
came in 1966 when end George
“Bubba” Smith of Michigan
State missed a unanimous vote
by seven ballots.
It also marked the second

I straight year that Simpson, now
a senior, had led the voting for
the All-America team and for
the second year in a row
versatile back Leroy Keyes of
j Purdue, who received votes
both on offense and defense,
was runner-up with a total of
191 ballots.
One thing Simpson was not
able to do—to lead Southern Cal
to the greatest number of
places on the All-America team.
■ The Trojans, who had four men
I on the squad last year, landed
only two this time—Simpson
J and defensive back Mike Battle.
Perhaps ominously for the
Trojans’ national championship
hopes, Notre Dame—which will
meet Southern Cal this Satur
day in the final game of the
regular season for each—took
top team honors on the All-
America team with three
berths.
Here are the players chosen
as the best in the land.:
Ends—Jim Seymour, Notre
Dame, and Ted Kwalick, Penn
State.
Tackles—Dave Foley, Ohio
State, and George Kunz, Notre
Dame.
Guards—Charles Rosenfelder,
Tennessee, and Guy Dennis,
Florida.
Center—John Didion, Oregon

Backs—Terry Hanratty, Notre

Purdue; and Bill Enyart,
Oregon State.
Defense:
Ends—Ted Hendricks, Miami
(Fla.) and John Zook, Kansas.
Tackles—Bill Stanfill, Geor

Texas State.
Middle Guard—Chuck Kyle,
Purdue.
Linebackers—Dennis Onkotz,
Penn State, and Bill Hobbs,
Texas A&M.
Backs—Roger Wehrli, Missou
ri, Mike Battle, Southern
California, Jake Scott, Georgia,
and Al Worley, Washington.
Onkotz and Scott are juniors;
all 20 and the others are
seniors.
Simpson, Keyes, Seymour,
and Hendricks all were repea
ters from the 1967 All-America
team.
The Midwest replaced the
South as the dominant section
of the country on the honor
squad. Os the 22 first-team
places, Midwesterners grabbed

Heisman Trophy?
NEW YORK (UPD—It may
be a year late but O. J.
Simpson is finally expected to
get the Heisman Trophy today.
The Downtown Athletic Club
will announce the winner of the
award for the 1968 season today
and there’s little doubt it will be
Simpson in a near-unanimous
vote.
Last season Simpson gained
1,543 yards during the regular
campaign and added 128 more
in the Rose Bowl but finished
second in the Heisman balloting
to UCLA’s Gary Beban —who
won the award for his brilliant
three-year performance.

Far West six, the Midlands five,
the East four, and the Rockies
one.
The 6-foot-2, 207-pound Simp
son, who scored 36 touchdowns
in junior college before trans
ferring to Southern California
and thus will have only two
seasons in his Southern Cal
career, currently leads the
nation in rushing yardage for
the second straight year with
1,654 yards—an all-time, major
college single-season record
with still that one game against
Notre Dame to come.
Simpson also has scored 120
points and a big day against the
Irish might also give him the
national title in that depart
ment.
Keyes’ figures were not quite
as impressive as in 1967, as
Purdue found it often effective
to use him as a decoy on
offense. Hanratty broke all of
the immortal George Gipp’s
total yardage records at Notre
Dame with the glue-fingered
Seymour, who broke all Irish

games to set a single season
rushing record, is considered a
shoo-in for the award given to
the outstanding college football
player of the year.
Simpson’s 1,654 yard total—
with Saturday’s game remain
ing with Notre Dame —enabled
him to set a single season
rushing record, breaking the
record set two weeks ago by
Eugene “Mercury” Morris.

the Heisman Trophy was also
from USC. He was Mike

Floridians
Down Pacers
in Double OT
By United Press International
Miami had to weather more
than one storm to retain second
place in the Eastern Division of
the American Basketball Associ
ation.
The Floridians made an
almost impossible comeback to
tie Indiana in regulation time
and then went on to a 126-121
double overtime victory over
the Pacers Monday night.
Indiana led 104-101 with only
two seconds remaining in
regulation and also had posses
sion of the ball. But Fred Lewis
was hit with a charging
violation and Willie Murrell of
Miami heaved, the ball from 30
feet out for a three-point play.
After each team scored 10
points in the first overtime, the
Floridians rapped it up with a
12-7 burst in the second extra
period. Skip Thoren scored 28
points for Miami, which moved
to within a half-game of idle
Minnesota.
In other games played Mon
day night, the Oakland Oaks
beat the Houston Mavericks 111-
102 and the New Orleans
Buccaneers downed the Los
Angeles Stars 124-115.
Oakland fell behind 9-1 in the
early going and was held to its
lowest point production of the
season, but still came on behind
the 25-point scoring of Rick
Barry to down the Mavericks.
The Oaks have a five-game lead
in the Western Division race
over Los Angeles and New
Orleans.
James Jones scored 32 points
and Jackie Moreland added 21
as the Bucs moved into the
second-place tie with Los
Angeles. New Orleans set a club
record with 39 assists. Jay
Miller led the Stars with 22
points.

The wear and tear of eight I
National Basketball Association;

Lenny Wilkens, who is making i
the 1968-69 campaign the best of |
his pro career.
Wilkens, averaging more than ■

scored 29 points and rookie Bob j
Kauffman tallied 22 Monday'
night when the Seattle Superso- j
nics beat the Milwaukee Bucks
123-113 at Vancouver, B.C. It J
was the only NBA game of the !
night.
The Sonics led 89-86 going into
the fourth period when Wilkens
connected on four quick baskets
to open up the game. The j
victory moved the Sonics out of i
last place in the West and left
the Bucks in last place in the
East.
The loss was the second in a
row for the Bucks to Seattle.
Jon McGlocklin led the Bucks

year’s 17-8 team when Ray Jef
fords, Dick Mclntosh and Jim
Youngblood used up their eligi
bility.
Lienhard averaged 21.3 ppg
and 14.9 rebounds (a school
record) last season and should
be better with a year’s experi
ence. Epling, the Bulldogs’ No.
2 scorer, averaged 14.7 ppg as
a sophomore and he and Tay
lor could make up the best
shooting guard tandem in the
Southeastern Conference.
However, Bulldog Coach Ken
Rosemond, a reserve on North
Carolina’s 1957 national cham
pionship team, cautions fans
against being too optimistic.
Rosemond points out that
Georgia will be a young basket
ball team this winter. The Bull
dogs’ only senior is non-letter
man Mike Bracewell and that
while it figures Georgia may
be outstanding a year from
now, experience takes time.
“We can’t expect to be the
well-oiled machine we were in
the latter stages of last season
(winning six of its last seven
games),” said Rosemond. “But,
if the team makes as much
progress during the course of
the season as it did last year,
we could be better over all.”
Georgia did indeed come on
strong toward the end of last
season. The Bulldogs beat Ten
nessee, Vanderbilt and Florida

seven games was to SEC cham

Rosemond plans to use 6-foot
-8 junior Cort Nagle, a seldom
playing reserve last year, and
either 6-5 junior Allen Yuhas or
6-3 sophomore Tom Brennan at
the forwards. Brennan averaged
22.9 ppg with the frosh, leading
the yearlings in rebounding as
they posted a 16-6 mark.
Taylor, from Anderson, S.C.,
broke Lienhard’s freshman rec
ords for most points scored
(505 and average (24.0) as he
pumped in 667 points for a 30.3
PPG pace.
As a sophomore, Lienhard set
school records for most points
in a game (45), most rebounds
in a game (26), most field
goals in a game (19 of 22),
best field goal percentage in a
game (11-11), most field goals
in a season (213), most re
bounds in a season (373) and
highest rebound average (14.9).
Georgia, which plays an 18-
game conference schedule plus
five outsiders and will be in
the Gator Bowl tournament,
opens Dec. 3 with Sewanee.
The Bulldogs will be heavily
favored in that game but can’t
be expected to match last sea
son’s opener when they set an
SEC record by rolling up a
138-91 win over Arkansas A&M.
The Bulldogs won the Tri
angle Classic last season but
the real highlight was an 18-
point (61-43) victory over Ten
nessee which was No. 1 in the
SEC and No. 4 in the nation
at that time.
