H Oliva, brilliant Cuban right
fielder for the American League
champion Minnesota Twins,
seems a cinch. 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.
