14 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1961 Says Patterson- Liston Fight In Making For Spring BEATING THE GUN RY BIEL BROWER FOR ANP It matters not that the statisti - ians took five yards away from Jim Brown after his spectacular per formance against the Philadelphia Eagles. For a man who has gained (at th'S writing i 6,154 yards rushing in less than five seasons of pro foot ball and 2.091 in three years of var sity college competition, what dif ference do five yards make? Perhaps they would have made e more indelible impression in the records books Against the Eagles, trus remarkable young man bulled his way for 237 yards, tying his record of 1957 when he gained similar yardage agains; the Los An geles Rams. On that occasion, the former Sy racuse All-An erican carried 31 times. This prompted Sid Gillman, then coach of the Rams, to ap praise his effort sardonically; “If he carries the ball that much In many more games he's got to wind up either punch drunk or a basket coach" In the Cleveland Stadium, the Cleveland Browns' fullback seem ed very much alive and, if any body was punch drunk, it must have been the Eagles' tackles as they slid off him rather gioggily a.: he powered his way to 237 yards in 34 attempts. At first, he was credited with 242 yards, which would have established a new mark for ball lugging. Then the official scorer, discovered that he had given Brown an extra five yards. This was something he need ed like the Hungarians need Com munists. Brown’s yardage In the Browns' 45-to-24 rout of the defending National Football League champions brought bis Reason's production to 1.093 for the current campaign. This is the fifth straight season in which he has gained more than a. 1,000 yards rushing. His best mark (1,527 in 1958) could be In jeopardy. Brown owns a few more marks: 290 ball-carrying attempts in 1959 or.d 18 touchdowns, tying Steve Van Buren's record in 1958. Brown, at 227 pounds, is not as large as some of the NFL full backs. But he has boundless energy and gives it that extra effort that picks up added yardage. “Earth«haking” was the way a Philadelphia rookie described his performance the other week It was the first time Glen Amerson, from Texas Tech. had encountered Brown on the gridiron. “It isn’t that he hits so hard, but the way he drags you along until you fall off." said Amerson "That is. if you even get a chance to hit him ” Brown probably has one other milestone that ho would like to teach before ending his career with Dae Cleveland Browns— and this doesn't imply that such an event is impending. He would like to overtake Joe Perry, the veteran Baltimore Colts' fullback as the NFL all-time ground gainer. Perry now is well over 7,000 yards in his 15 seasons with the San Fran cisco Forty-Niners and the Colts. His total does not mclude the yard age he amassed when he perform ed in the old All-American Confer ence, Basketball Scoreboard COLLEGES St Paul's, 74; Kittrell. 43 Catholic U„ 79, Howard.

O no State’s battering ram fullback, led tr.c 'All America balloting conducted by the 1100- member Football Wi: • : ■ Assoc • »- tion “No fullback at Ohm State, and precious few anywhere, ever matched Boh F -reuson for brute, mobile offensive power,” declared Look in announcing the selections. Stephens, the first Negro quarter back to win All Amei .ea honors, was described as "a powerful roll out runner, a deadly thrower in a crisis—no quarterback meant so much to his team as Sandy Ste phens to surprising Minnesota." Stephens' teammate, tackle Bob bv Bell, was called the “kingpin of the teriffic Minnesota line and rates as the best Gopher tackle since Dick Wildung in 1942" Davis, rated the nation's top half back, broke Jim Brown’s scoring, rushing and touchdown records at Syracuse. "Ernie does not quite match Jim in sheer ‘power." declar ed Look, "but he is a niftier and a more rounded performer." Dm Football Writers Association, in selecting the 1961 Look All America squad, followed a prece dent set by the late Grant.land Rice and chose" a 22-man team in which each player enjoys equal first string status.
