Texas Rated First By All UPI Voters NEW YORK (UPI) _ The Texas Longhorns today became the first college team ever chosen unanimously by football coaches as No. 1 in the nation, despite one of the most topsyturvy seasons on record. , No less than 10 different teams have occupied the first five places in the ratings by the UPI board of coaches this f»U and only Texas has managed to appear for more than two weeks in the same position. Thanks to the almost unprecedented wave of upsets the list of major unbeaten-untied teams has shrunk to four with the season just past the halfway mark. An NCAA executive said he could not remember a season with more upsets than the current one. All Chose Texas The Longhorns, No. 1 for the third straight week were named first by all of the 35 famous coaches on the UPI rating board, the only unanimous choice in the 14-year-history of the rankings. Illinois, unbeaten but tied, replaced Wisconsin in second place and Mississippi, also tied but undefeated, dislodged Pittsburgh from third place. The Badgers and Panthers were the latest to fall from the perfect record class. Once - beaten Alabama and Navy forged into fourth and fifth spots ahead of Wisconsin, which fell to sixth. Auburn, the only other un-beaten-untied team in the ratings had last Saturday off but still made a step up to seventh place, changing places with Oklahoma, No. 8. use On Rise Southern California, the defending national champion which has been climbing back steadily since absorbing two defeats, was placed ninth and Syracuse, No. 10, made its first appearance in the top 10 this season. Six teams included in the ratings last week were knocked out of the standings by losses. They were ninth - ranked Northwestern, and Notre Dame, Mississippi State, Oregon, lowa and lowa State,’ all listed in the second 10. Ohio State returned to 11th, Louisiana State and Pitt tied for 12th, Nebraska was No. 14 and Michigan State finished’ 16th. Baylor, Missouri, Arkansas and North Carolina State rated 16-17-18-19 and Duke and Purdue tied for 20th.

Monmouth Eagles To Launch Season Friday

By Bob Shraluka >» Monmouth probably won’t match its record of last season this year, but Don Elder’s 1963-64 edition of the Eagles isn’t exactly a “sympathy” case either. Gone is one of Adams county’s finest, sensational Don Brown, now a freshman at Ohio State, and stars Denny Braun and Clarence Scheumann from last year’s club that posted an outstanding 20-1 record and copped titles in the county tourney and Luers’ invitational. But Elder has retaind a good nucleus from that club and could very easily be one of the top contenders in February for that sectional title that eluded them last season. The Eagles open firing Friday at Adams Central. Much of the scoring burden this season will fall on the shoulders of Dean Schieferstein, 6-2%, 170pound senior, back for his third varsity season. Schieferstein was one of the county’s top ten scorers last season, scoring 271 points during the season and adding another 49 in the sectional for a grand total of 320. He will have to better that this season, however, to take up the slack left by the graduated B-boys, Brown and Braun. Big Front Line A pair of big and husky, but inexperienced, seniors will combine with Schieferstein to give Monmouth a good-sized forecourt. With the season opener less than a week away, it appears that 6-2 175-pound Jerry Liby will be Schieferstein’s forward partner, with 6-3. 185-pound Steve Hoile at the pivot post. Liby got into several varsity games before Christmas last season, but a hernia operation, from which he has now completely recovered, put him on the sidelines

for the rest of the year. He looked good in his few appearances, and should be one of the county’s top rebounders, but the rugged lad’s scoring potential is an unknown quantity. Hoile, like Schieferstein and Liby, is a letterman, but did most of his playing last year with the reserve team. He, too, is a strong lad, and should help to give the Eagles a formidable rebounding trio, but will have to score from his center post to make the team a real threat. Elder has two lettermen as top candidates for the two back court starting jobs, including seniors elgene Bienz and Bob Brandt, who were alternating starters last season. Bienz, Brandt Guards Bienz, a six-foot, 147 puonder, showed he could score in several games last season, and totaled 140 points during the season and , added another 14 in tourney play. He will have to shoot more this year, and could be one of the key men in the scoring attack. Brandt, 5-10 and 146 pounds, will also have to shoot more this year, and will be another key to the Eagle scoring punch. Playing the role as feeder laSt season, Brandt scored only 44 points in the season and tourney. Up from the reserve squad, where he was the leading scorer last year, is juniojj Danny Conrad, a six-footer weighing 138 pounds. Conrad is battling for a regular role, and Will provide depth as he will be used at both forward and guard. Elder has two other returning lettermen, making a total of eight, in Kenny Scherer, a 6-foot, 144 pound senior, and Mike Luginbill, a 5-11, 157 pound junior. Neither has any varsity experience to speak of, but should give the Eagles depth after they gain some experience. Need Scoring Punch Others vying for- varsity suits are Ted Buuck, Eldon Fuhrman, Max Fuelling, all 5-11, Steve Hakes and Fred Fuelling, btfth 5-9, and Larry King, 5-7, all of whom are juniors. The Eagles will be “down” this season, but who wouldn’t from that record of 62-63. They certainly won't be push-overs for anyone. Liby, Hoile and Schieferstein will give them a rugged front line, but the key to the' club’s scoring appears tn be Bienz and Brandt. If these two, and Schieferstein, can pick up the scoring lost through the. departure of Brown and Braun, the Eagles could well be another powerhouse. Five new opponents are on the Eagle schedule which openrs Friday at Adams Central, including Harlen, Elmhurst. Roanoke, Butler and Arcola. Monmouth is the last county tourney champ as last year’s was the finale but the Eagles will compete in the Ossian invitational January 10 and 11, at Ossian, with the host club, Adams Central and Lancaster. The schedule is as follows: Nov. 1 Adams Central* T Nov. 8 Ossian* H Nov. 15 Hoagland H Nov. 23 Harlan H Dec. 6 Decatur Catholic H Dec. 7 Elmhurst T Dec. 13 Roanoke H Dec. 14 Butler H Dec. 19 Monroeville T Jan. 3 Geneva* T Jan. 4 Bishop Luers T Jan. 10-11 Ossion Invitational T Jan. 17 Berne* T Jan. 24 Lancaster Central* H Jan. 31 Woodlan T Feb. 7 Huntington Twp.

Jack Nicklaus Leads U.S. To Golf Victory PARIS (UPl)—Jack Nicklaus not only proved himself the greatest golfer in the world today but he also could give the U.S. mail a lesson. The Post Office brags about going through sleet, snow and dark of night, but the big kid from Ohio went through icy breezes, soggy mud and pea soup fog to beat the best from 33 nations, win the individual International Trophy and sweep Uncle Sam to its fourth straight Canada Cup team victory. __ It was Nicklaus’ first appearance in this international tournament and Arnold Palmer gave his Yankee teammate all the credit. “Jack did it, no question about it,” said Palmer. Clinches Tournament Where he did it, and Palmer put the icing on the cake, was on the sixth hole on the St. Nom la Bretche course which vzas so shrouded in fog that the final round had to be cut to nine holes, making it a 63-hole tournament instead of the scheduled 72. The U.S. had started out the day tied with Spain for the team lead and the Spaniards, playing ahead of the Americans were three shots back after f've holes. It looked like it was going to be a real race when both Nicklaus and Palmer trapped their approaches. But Nicklaus, who had four birdies in the first five holes, made it five birdies in six holes when he blasted out of the trap into the cup—7s yards away. Palmer came out on the green and sank his putt for a par and the U.S. was in. The 23-year-old Nicklaus also won the individual championship. He had started out the day tied with Gary Player of South Africa and Jack knew he had his work cut out for him when Player eagled the very first hole. Starts Birdie Barrage Jaek birdied it and then got going on that birdie barrage. It enabled Jack to finish, with a four under par 32 for a total of 237 — five shots ahead of Player and Sebastian Miguel of Spain who tied for the runnerup sppt with totals of 242. Palmer with a two under par had an aggregate of 245—tying him for fifth place with Al Balding of Canada and Bruce Crampton of Australia. Ramon Sota of Spain was third with 243: — In the team race, the U.S., winning its fourth team championship in a row and its sixth in the 11 international tournaments held by the International Golf Associatiqn. beat out Spain by three strokes with 482 to 485. South Africa finished third with 492 followed by Canada with 495 and Australia with 497. Store At Newland Destroyed By Fire RENSSELAER, Ind.
