Gibson Wins Cy Young Award
at home to Michigan State, No.
16, Saturday.
Kansas made Iowa State its
sixth straight victim, 46-25 and
picked up six firsts to hold third
place ahead of Penn State, which
drew one first place ballot after
bombing Boston College 29-0 for
its fifth in a row.
The point total, based on 20
for first and a graduated scale
down to one point for 16th place,
gave Southern California a 64-
point lead over Ohio State, 786-
722. A week ago they led by only
16 points. Kansas was a strong
third with 686 and Penn State a
solid fourth with 592.
The major casualty of the
weekend was Notre Dame, up
set by Michigan State, 21-17,
and dropped all the way from
No. 5 to No. 12.
Tennessee, Purdue and Georgia,
all moved up a peg to take over
fifth, sixth and seventh places.
Tennessee had an off day. Pur
due downed Iowa 44-14 and
Georgia beat Kentucky 35-14.
California, Michigan and Mis
souri all moved into the first 10.
California thumped Syracuse,
Michigan clobbered Minnesota
35-20 and Missouri ran over Kan
sas State 56-20.
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,

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.

Here is the 1968 season. The zany, unpredict
able Southwest Conference season. Where under
dogs become topdogs on any given Saturday.
Where comparative scores, home field advantage
and other prognostic devices are thrown to the
winds. Where on the day of the game it’s just us
versus them and to hell with what happened last
week or last year. Yes, the Southwest Conference
has tradition — anyone can win, anyone can pull
the big shocker of the season and fate doesn’t
play favorites.
