Jimmy Brown Named As NFL Player Os Year CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD— Cleveland Browns fullback Jimmy Brown, named the 1963 National Football League player - of-the-year by United Press International, today credited the honor to “opportunity, luck, my teammates and head Coach Blanton Collier.” , “I’m extremely happy to receive the award especially this year because it was sort of a comeback for me, “Brown said. In 1962 Brown, who had romped to five straight rushing titles feU to second place, picking up - “only” 996 yards. Brown, who gained 1,863 yards with a 6.4 average for 291 carries to lead Cleveland to a second place finish in the Eastern Conference this campaign, said “there are many factors involved when a player is so honored. “I was given every opportunity to run the ball this year and when a runner receives this, he has a chance to do things,” Brown said. “I also had many chances to run outside, that’s when it’s possible to break loose for the long gainers.” The former Syracuse AllAmerican said “Collier expressed confident in all players and enabled them to utilize their fullest potential.” “Brown is the greatest football player I’ve ever known and probably is one of the greatest players of the century,” Collier said after being notified of Brown’s honor. “Anyone who reads the sports pages or watches football knows of Brown’s exploits on the field,” the coach said, “in addition, he is a great leader and his leadership helped the team. His attitude in practice undoubtedly had a good effect on all players.” Brown was tapped for the honor by edging New York Giants’ ace quarterback Y.A. Tittle, 22-19. The only other vote went to defensive back Dick Lynch of the Giants, who established a record of three touchdown runs on intercepted passes. A panel of 42 writers who covered NFL games regularly (three from each league city) voted the honor to the Cleveland standout. Brown said he was lucky because “I wasn’t hurt this season. Sometimes a player can’t regain his sharpness after an injury.” Hockey Results National League Detroit 3, Boston 0. H. S. Basketball Garrett 59, Huntertown 52.

Jeff Mullins 6 Leads Duke To Win Thursday By MARTIN LADEK UPI Sparta Writer Jeff Mullins, the “other guy” on the Duke basketball team last season, has developed into the Blue Devils’ “big guy" this season. Not that Mullins was any slouch last year, finishing with a 20.3 per game average, but he usually played second fiddle to spectacular teammate Art Heyman. Hay man has since graduated to the pros, leaving the field open for Mullins to fully demonstrate his abilities. Mullins put on another brilliant show Thursday night, pouring in 30 points to lead fourthranked Duke to an 84-73 victory over Virginia at Durham, N.C. It was the second time this season Mullins had scored 30 or more points in a game. He is chiefly responsible for the Blue Devils’ 6-1 record. Turns Back Rally The burly 6-4 senior was on the spot when needed most and personally turned back a determined Virginia rally by scoring eight straight points after the Cavaliers had narrowed the Duke lead to 49-46 early in the second half. A well-balanced Wichita team, determined to end Cincinnati's domination of the Missouri Valley Conference this season, came up with another strong effort to overcome Minnesota, 71-65. In other major games Thursday night Oklahoma -City tripped Texas A&M, 80-70, Houston upended Mississippi State, 69-61, Texas Tech whipped Auburn, 83-71, Ililnois trounced Butler, 74-53, Marquette beat lowa State, 67-62, and Eastern Kentucky defeated Syracuse, 90-72. Wichita, trailing 33-32 at halftime, rallied behind the 15-point second-half production of Len Kelley to boost its record to'6-2. Dave Leach led the Wheatshockers in scoring with 21 points while Mel Northway had 23 for Minnesota.

Chargers Heavy Favorites For AFL West Title By United Press International It looks like the San Diego Chargers in a waltz Sunday for the Western Division title In the American Football League. And that’s what has San Diego Ooach Sid Gillman pulling his hair. Thq Chargers task is simple: Beat or tie the team with the worst record in the AFL, the Denver Broncos, who will limp into Balboa Stadium in San Diego Sunday with nine players on the injury list, including three members of their starting backfield. “This just makes things worse,” Gillman complained. “We’ve lost to Denver four straight times because we’ve been overconfident. We can't be lulled again by their list of injuries.” Coach Jack Faulkner, who once served under Gillman at San Diego, has done quite a job on his former boss. Last year the Broncs started San, Diego's downhill skid with a 30-21 upset, administered a 30-23 licking later in the season and handed the Chargers their only exhibition loss this year, ,31-25. San Diego is a 14-point favorite. Oakland, the most improved team in the league under new head Coach Al Davis, could force a Western Division playoff with the Chargers if it can defeat Houston again and San Diego .loses. The playoff would be Dec. 29 in San Diego. The Raiders currently own the longest winning streak of the season — seven straight—and have come from last place (where they finished last year) to within one game of the lead with the second-best record in the AFL. Oakland is a 6% point favorite at home. The only other game finds New* York at Kansas City; where the defending champion Chiefs ■ suddenly have come alive in the past two games. Kansas City has scored 87 points since the Jets handed them their first shutout in history 17-0 three weeks ago capping a seven-game winless streak for the Chiefs. New York lost its last two games to Buffalo and is a 9M»-point underdog against the Chiefs. The Buffalo Bills and the Boston Patriots have the day off Sunday as they prepare for their playoff game for the East- , ern crown Dec. 28 in Buffalo. College Basketball Illinois 74, Butler 53.

The 18 per cent increase, largest in the company's 118 year history, is principally due to continuing trends toward higher interest earnings on investments and lower costs. In the last 2 years the company has increased its dividends by approximately SSO million which means that the cost of insurance for most New - York Life policy owners has been substantially reduced. New York Life is a mutual company and dividends, as declared, are paid to policy owners only — there are no stockholders. Policy owners may take their dividends in cash, apply them toward premium payments, buy additional paid up insurance, or leave them on deposit.
