Off.) | By Oscar Fraley o — « New York, Dec. 27. — (UP) —Look back over your shoulder today and you’ll see that sports had many big moments in 1951—and here ' are some of the best and wbrst. I "Biggest upset — vVhen Randy Turpin dethroned Sugar Ray Robinson as middleweight champion. Greatest comeback—Jersey Joe Walcott winning the world heavyweight title at 38, or is it 41? Most thrilling moments —Bobby Thomson’s pennant-winning home run and Ben Hogan’s birdie pn the final hole'to win the National Open after being five strokes back of Bobby Locke with 18 holes to play. Saddest moment—Joe Louis ,flat on the canvas after being kayoed by young Rocky Marciano. Funniest moment— When Bill Veeck’s midget strode to the plate as leadoff man against Detroit. Goat of the year—Ralph Branca, whose two home run pitches to Bobby Thomson lost two National league playoff games. Disappointment of the year— Those Dodgers, who blew a 13% ’ game lead to lose the flag they i had virtually wrapped up. J Biggest surprise—The Giants, as they never gave up and wrote baseball history with the .comeback in the annals of the game. Best loser—Ted Collins, whose New York Yank pro grid team dropped $90,000, but who announced that he’ll be back at >tjie same old stand in 1952. Blackest incident—The collegiate basketball scandal. Rookie of the year — Kansas Charley Burr who, as a 17-year-old apprentice rider,' became the seventh jockey in racing history\ to pilot 300 winners. Most courageous performance— By Irish Bob Murphy as he kept horing in against Joey Maxim even though the light heavyweight champion was cutting him to rib- ■ -

Stanford’s coach Chuck Taylor, in his first season as a varsity football mentor, even went so far as to sky his team could win if it played its best game “and the ball bounces right.” The red-haired rookie coach made his statement before Southern California football writers yesterday shortly. after most of the Stanford players arrived in Southern ’California for the final l a P ln their preparations for the New Year’s day classic in Pasadena. Coach Ray feliot couldn’t get, away from his workouts to attend the meeting but sent word by assistant coach Bob King that the Illinois team expected to give a good account of Itself in the Rose Bowl. \ In answer to Taylor’s statement that he never went into a gkme without feeling his team could win if it Dlayed its best game, King replied tltat Eliot “doesn’t tell,the boys they don’t have a chance.” Taylor said Stanford’s defeat by California in the final game of the regular ' season has |not hurt the Indians' morale and might even prove healthy because it made the players realize they had put on a pgpr- performance. y > \ King said th§ coaches felt “Illinois has a good competitive spirit” and felt a lot of responsibility in 'representing the y Big Ten in the
