By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI)—O. J. Simpson, the most celebrated collegiate football plaver of 1968, was elected today as the United Press International College Player of the Year. The fleet Southern California back, in New York to receive the Heisman Trophy at the Downtown Athletic Club tonight, also was the first unanimous selection ever to the UPI AllAmerica team. The Heisman Trophy is the most coveted prize in collegiate football, presented annually to the country’s leading player. Simpson was a shoo-in for Player of the Year as he received 169 of the 194 votes cast by sportswriters and broadcasters around the country. A pair of All-Americas, Leroy Keyes of Purdue and Terry Hanratty of Notre Dame, tied for second place in the balloting with five votes each. It is just as well that Simpson reaps the rewards of his

Calvin Murphy’s game high of 39-points ‘helps’

By United Press International It’s a good thing Calvin Murphy scored a game-high of 38 points for Niagara University Wednesday night, or he might have left the gymnasium feeling he wasn’t needed in the lineup. The Niagara All-American went to the bench after drawing his fourth personal foul eight minutes deep in the second half in the Purple Eagles’ game with Buffalo State. His teammates promptly ripped off 13 points in a row and breezed in for a 11897 victory, with Murphy never returning to the court. South Carolina jumped to an early start in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 68-63 victory over Wake Forest. Sophomore John Roche led the Gamecocks with 25 points, including a pair of crucial free throws with four minutes left. Among other major games Wednesday night, 12th-ranked St. Bonaventure routed Detroit College 111-70, LaSalle defeated

St. Bonaventure got 23 points each from Jim Satalin and Bob Lanier for its 23rd straight regular season win. The Bonnies shot 76.3 per cent from the field the first half in building a 62-30 halftime lead. The LaSalle victory was the coaching debut for former AllAmerica and professional player Tom Gola. Larry Cannon tallied 27 points for LaSalle to become the school’s 11th player to score 1,000 points. St. Joseph got its victory when Tom Lynch picked up a loose ball at midcourt and drove in with the winning basket. He had scored only one point in the marathon game up to that point. Ed Leonarczyk of St. Joseph had forced the contest into overtime by sinking a fourfooter with one second left in regulation time, to tie the score 74-74. Five players were in double figures for Iowa in its victory over Northern Michigan and Rutgers held Pennsylvania to only one field goal in the first

seven minutes to take a big lead that it safely protected the remainder of the way.

running ability while he can. For the honors will be a little harder to come by following a date in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1 when he leads the unbeaten but once-tied Trojans, the nation’s second-ranking team, against top-ranked Ohio State. Simpson is the almost certain first choice in the professional draft Jan. 28, and thus is doomed to begin his new career with what amounts to the worst team in pro football.

The 6-2, 207-pounder graduates from Southern California as perhaps the greatest runner in collegiate history. In two varsity years he gained 3,242 yards, falling only 265 yards short of the three-year national mark set by Eugene “Mercury” Morris of West Texas State this year. Simpson did break Morris’ single season rushing mark with 1,709 yards in 1968 and he scored 35 touchdowns (22 this

700 still

Twenty-two years and goals later, Gordie Howe feels those butterflies.

He felt them when he scored his first National Hockey League goal as an 18-year-old rookie in 1946, and he admits he still gets them when he plays before the home crowds in

Detroit.

That’s why he wasn’t too surprised when he ruined what could have been a gala celebration back home by notching his historic 700th goal in a road game Wednesday night at Pittsburgh. The first period marker helped the Red Wings gain a 7-2 victory over the Penguins. “There was no pressure on me on the road,” Howe said. “I

play my own game that way. I feel butterflies at home. I won’t kid anybody.” Jitters and all, Howe said he would have preferred to score No. 700 before the home fans. “They had balloons ready for me in the rafters,” he said. “My 13-year-old boy said, ‘Hey dad, I’ll bet thoseballoons are for you.’ ” Howe is all by himself as far as scoring records are concerned. Maurice Richard is second in goals scored with 544, and no other player has reached 500. In other action, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Minnesota North Stars 4-2 and the Los Angeles Kings defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1.
