However, Deron Johnson, the National League runs batted leader most of the season who plays third base for Cincinnati’s Reds, might have a voting battle on his hands. |: Forty baseball writers do the balloting and the chances are many of the 20 National League scribes will lean toward San Francisco center fielder Willie Mays because he has meant so much to the Giants this year. | Oliva, despite a bone chip in his right hand, is what Yankee Manager Johnny Keane calls a “five-point player.” H“He can hit, run, throw, field, hit with power and run the bases well,” says Keane. “He hits to all fields. Oliva could become a sec ond Willie Mays although Mays has more power. After only two seasons Oliva has Hall of Fame potential. He practically murder ed us this season.” | : Oddly enough, a fellow Twin, shortstop Zoilo Versalles, figures to gather many votes in the im portant contests, results of which will be announced following the World Series. Versalles probably is the finest all-around shortstop in baseball because of his run scoring abili ty, fielding and base running. Zoilo’s speed helped make the Twins a running ball club this year. He repeatedly stretched singles into doubles and on occa sion scored from second base on infield outs. What’s more he has more home run power than any other shortstop in either league. Other American Leaguers who should gather many votes include Cleveland’s Rocky Colavito, Bos ton’s Carl Yastrzemski, Balti more’s Brooks Robinson and Min nesota center fielder Jimmy Hall. l£P In the National League, Mays f is having one of his great years with the bat. But Deron Johnson, a Yankee castoff, is having his top campaign. In Cincinnati his bat has meant more to the Reds than those of Frank Robinson, ncelS' Vada pi nson; p e te Rose and Tony Harper, and all had fine years for Dick Sisler. (Houston Post) GALLAGHER weathered it with “Donny Ander son brought enough moist eyes in Texas Aggie partisans to start another rainstorm in Lubbock Saturday night.” Arkansas has in MARTINE BERCHER, a bona fide “trouble shooter.” In addition to being an end on offense and back-up at safety on defense, he does some punting. Yet for versatility A&M offers GARY KEMPH, who has practiced at five positions this fall: split end, quarterback, full back, wingback and roving line backer. Busiest man in the SWC on of fense, other than quarterbacks, has to be DONNY ANDERSON who is doing more damage as a pass receiver than as a ball car rier. The all-America Tech back, who led the league in ball-carry ing last year with the third-high- est total in SWC history, has rushed for only 95 yards in 39 carries, but he has caught 17 passes for equal yardage (95) and four touchdowns, has punted 16 times for 38.8 average and has returned 7 kickoffs for 136 yards, which gives him SWC career rec ords for number of KO returns and yardage. When TCU Tackle PORTER WILLIAMS was injured in the Florida State game, i t gave CHARLES (Horatio) MITCH ELL his first chance at college football. In reviewing the reac tion of MITCHELL, who came to TCU sans scholarship and repu tation, ALLIE WHITE said, “I guess getting into the game for MITCHELL was like stepping through the Pearly Gates and looking around in Heaven.” (There probably was little eth ereal about Williams’ experience the next game against Arkansas, as matter of fact, he acknowl edged, “those quick linemen tied me in knots all night.”) For - what - it’s - worth de partment: SPEC (Texas A&M) GAMMON, in a good feature on JOHN NILSON, a talented sen ior Aggie tackle who started without benefit of scholarship, reports that the fierce El Campo battler is an entomology major who is not bugged by opposing linemen lion | Other National Leaguers with many backers include Milwau kee’s Henry Aaron, Pittsburgh’s Don Clendenon, Chicago’s Billy Williams and base stealer Maury Wills of Los Angeles. But Oliva, only 25, and Deron et Johnson, 28, seem to have a slight edge in their respective (ES leagues. Minlct/lrt Supply ftclu/ie puutoje*- : fli So.
