Red Sox hero 'most valuable'
NEW YORK —(UPI)— Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox, Boston's biggest hero since the Revolutionary War, was named the American League's most valuable player as expected today, but unexpectedly failed to receive a unanimous vote.
Yas, the brilliant left-fielder who led the Red Sox to their first pennant in 21 years and in the process won the AL's triple crown for batting, was the No. 1 choice on 19 of the 20 ballots cast by a committee of the Easeball Writer's Association of America.
Cesar Tovar, a jack-of-all trades with the runnerup Minnesota Twins, received the lone dissenting first-place vote. Tovar, who
batted only .267, was named on 14 of the 20 ballots and finished seventh in the overall standings.
Two writers from each of the 10 league cities took part in the balloting. Yastrzemski received 275 of a possible 280 points. Under the scoring system, 14 points were awarded for first place, nine for second, eight for third, etc., down to one point for 10th place.
Only Yaz and Harmon Killbrew, the Twins' slugger who finished second with 161 points, were named on all 29 ballets.
Catcher Bill Freehan of the Detroit Tigers was third with 137 points, pitcher Joe Horlen of the Chicago White Sox was fourth at 19 and outfielder Al Kaline of the Tigers was fifth at 88.
Frosh battle OU Sooners in final game
Kansas' fresh squad will wind up its gridiron season Monday with a home contest against the Oklahoma Sooners.
Both teams will enter the contest with identical 2-1 records. The Jayhawk yearlings defeated Oklahoma State 17-7, and Kansas Stite, 3-0, before losing to Missouri last weekend, 14-7. Oklahoma won its first two tilts against Tulsa, 35-21, and Texas Tech, 27-20, but dropped a 14-7 decision to Oklahoma State.
Kickoff time will be at 1:30 p.m. instead of 2:30 as originally scheduled. The game will be played in Memorial Stadium.
Oklahoma Sooners eye a bowl
By United Press International Oklahoma's mighty Sooners kept their Big Eight title and bowl aspirations blazing today as they went into another tough workout.
Coach Chuck Fairbanks said his charges can expect another firm practice today.
The squad held a long, rugged session Tuesday and Fairbanks described it as "a real good, spirited practice."
Fairbanks also noted "before we can realize any bowl bid we'll have to play well against Kansas."
Sugar, Orange, Cotton and Gator bowl committees are watching Oklahoma and an invitation may materialize if the Sooners win Saturday.
Kansas reported it has no morale problems following its 12-8 loss Saturday to Colorado that dropped the Jayhawks into second place with a 4-1 mark.
"We have no morale problems and the only thing that hurts us
is playing Oklahoma," said Coach Pepper Rodgers after putting his squad through a light workout Tuesday.
Oklahoma State faced a stiff practice today after a semi-contact workout Tuesday in preparing for Iowa State.
"I think we got out of the work," said Coach Phil Cutchin. "It was sharper than the usual Tuesday practice."
Iowa State held a brisk workout Tuesday and planned another for today. Coach Clay Stapleton kept the squad concentrating on goal line work, both offensive and defense.
Missouri Coach Dan Devine expressed concern about Nebraska's tough league-leading defense. The Tigers spent Tuesday working on punting patterns. Only Jones, who has a knee injury, was doubtful for the game.
Colorado held a 10-minute workout in sweat clothes Tuesday, polishing techniques for Saturday's final conference game.
The Buffs face Kansas State at Manhattan.
At Lincoln two of Nebraska's top pass receivers were put out of business, flanker Tom Penney, who ranks third in passes caught among the Huskers, suffered a broken finger. Tight end Dennis Morrison, second in pass reception yardage with 188, was sidelined with a muscle spasm.
