NEW YORK G9P) — Bob Gib son, the St. Louis Cardinals’ pitcher who set a major league earned run average record low of 1.12, was named winner of the National League Cy Young Award Monday by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Gibson, a 22-9 performer for the pennant-winning Cards, was the unanimous choice of the 20- member panel, two from each league city. Gibson is in Japan with the Cardinals who are on a goodwill exhibition tour. Although Gibson had two pre vious 20-victory seasons he never received a Cy Young vote until this year. He is the second Negro to win the award. Don Newcombe of the old Brooklyn Dodgers was the first winner in 1956. Gibson’s earned run average of 1.12 broke the National League mark of 1.22 set by Grov er Cleveland Alexander of the Phillies in 1915. He also topped the American League record for a pitcher with 300 or more inn ings, ||r H ■ i ■ - •T - The top 10, with first place votes, records and total points: HEAD OVER HEELS Mohamed Ridha Labidi, captain of the Aggie soccer team, goes head over heels for the ball while leading his team to a 3-2 win over Texas Christian Saturday. The Aggies made a clean sweep of the weekend action with a 1-0 triumph over the University of Texas at Arlington at College Station Sunday. Royal Dizzy Plotting Ponies By ROBERT HEARD AUSTIN, Tex. OP) — Coach Darrell Royal says his University of Texas Longhorns will need all week “just to learn where to line up” when they play Southern Methodist University Saturday. “They’ve been in 42 different formations already — 42!” Royal said at his Monday news confer ence. SMU game films that Royal has seen show the league leading Mustangs used 38 forma tions in just one game, the Rice game, he thinks. Royal especially fears SMU’s pass-catching wizard Jerry Le- vias. “Levias can break up a game more ways than probably anybody else around,” he said. “And they’re not stillborn when they throw to those other peo ple.” 3-0, here Saturday. The game matches Texas’ powerful ground attack against SMU’s brilliant passing machine, which uses the short, down and out aerial the way a rushing offense uses the off tackle play. How does Royal plan to stop those quick passes in the flat, particularly the Longhorns’ leaky left flat? “They’re going to complete some passes. The only way to break even is to hope they miss a few, overthrow a few and have a few intercepted. One intercep tion wipes out quite a few short passes. We came up with three interceptions the other night (against Rice)” he said. Texas came out of their 38-14 victory over the Owls with no new injuries, Royal said. Halfback Chris Gilbert’s 213 yards rushing against Rice, which gave him 2,729 career yards and broke the SWC record of 2,618 set by TCU’s Jim Swink in 1954-55-56, prompted Royal to plug for him for All-American. r.4 The L o n g h o r n s, with a 2-1 league record, challenges SMU, v OF NEW HAVEN/A GENTLEMAN’S SHIRT 3im £» tarn co umbenritp men’s toear 329 University Drive 713 / 846-3706- College Station, Texas 77840 TAMU Town Hall Series Presents...
