E-2, led by junior quarterback Jim Neal, downed a tough B-2 team by the score of 14-0. The first half was a see-saw battle for the first 10 plays. Then the quarterback of B-2 fired a pass over the middle that was picked off by Cody Land. Land headed for the right sideline and just managed to make the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown return. In the second half K-2 sustains l an offensive drive which was highlighted by a brilliant diving catch of a 30 yard pass along the sideline by Terry Woodworth. The drive was completed when Neal passed over the middle to Dennis Lang in the end zone, to put the game too far out of reach for B-2 to try and catch. Monaco II earned the championship by defeating a big and tough Moore Hall team. Both teams played great de fensive football with both sides picking off several inter ceptions. Four times, Moore Hall penetrated inside Monaco’s 20 yard line but failed to score each time. Monaco II scored on a long run with an intercepted pass. Steve Ricks snatched the pass and ran 60 yards for the score. Bill Bradford barely missed a field goal which kept the score close. Monaco II finishes the season with eight straight victories. McLain Unanimous Pick In AL For Most Valuable Player NEW YORK <JP) — Detroit's Denny McLain, 31-game winner who last week won the Cy Young award as the American League’s best pitcher, was unanimously named the league’s Most Valu able Player Tuesday. McLain, who led the Tigers to their first pennant in 23 years, is the first American League pitcher to win both awards. Don Newcombe and Sandy Koufax, both Dodgers, won both awards in the National League in the one year, Newcombe in 1966 and Koufax in 1963. The 24-year-old right-hander also is the first AL pitcher to win the MVP award by a unani mous vote, the first AL pitcher to win it at all since Philadel phia’s Bobby Shantz in 1952 and the first Tiger to receive the award since Hal Newhouser, also a pitcher, in 1944 and 1945. The only other AL pitchers ever to be named MVP were Spud Chandler of New York in 1943 and Lefty Grove of Philadelphia in 1931, the year the award was instituted. The Cy Young award was begun in 1956. McLain, who also was named the Cy Young winner unanimous ly, was placed first on every bal lot by the 20 members of the voting committee of the Base ball Writers Association of America. Bill Freehan, McLain’s battery mate, was runner-up in the vot ing, the only other player who was named on all 20 ballots cast by two writers in each league city. The catcher received 161 points to the winner’s 280 and was fol lowed by Ken Harrelson, Boston, 103; Willie Horton, Detroit, 102; and Dave McNally, Baltimore, and Luis Tiant, Cleveland, 78 each. Sophomore defensive end Mike DeNiro of the Texas Aggies had one big goal in mind when this season started: to grade winning football in every game. Now, after seven games, Mike is well on his way to realizing that goal. He has posted win ning grades every week and he has caught the eyes of foes, scouts, writers, broadcasters and fans everywhere. Even Aggie Coach Gene Stallings, who has always hesitated about mention ing sophomores, has high praise for DeNiro’s play. Arkansas quarterback Bill Montgomery said “That DeNiro is the best defensive end we’ve been up against.” DeNiro is from Youngstown, Ohio, and he very nearly went into professional baseball because the Detroit Tigers thought enough of his third base play to make him an attractive offer. But, because of a friendship that started back at the Univer sity of Alabama, Mike wound up at Texas A&M. Frank Cicatiello of Youngs town had been on the Alabama football squad when Stallings and A&M defensive coach Dee Powell were assistant coaches there. “We had a kind word for Frank every now and then,” Stal lings explains. “Then a couple of years ago he writes me about this great prospect in Youngs town. I ask him to send me some film because we’re always hear ing about great prospects. Later, I run into Frank and he says we’d better go talk with this great prospect. I ask him again to send some film and pretty soon he does. We didn’t have to look at much of the movies to know that DeNiro really was a great prospect.” DeNiro says a lot of coaches contacted him but that only Stal lings really convinced him. “I knew at once that he was on the level, that he and his staff were dedicated to winning and that I’d learn all about football under him at Texas A&M.” a hard-charging end on defense. This past spring there was real ly only one opening on the var sity defensive unit, at the end post vacated by Grady Allen. De Niro quickly won the spot and has been there all this season. “It was strange at first,” Mike recalls. “All of the others had played their positions and I had Mike was a two-way standout for the A&M freshmen last year, playing split end on offense and to prove myself. I knew I had to really put out to stay on the starting team and I made up my mind that I would grade winning in every game.” DeNiro has made his point clearly thus far. He could make all-SWC as a sophomore and he could be the league’s Sophomore Lineman of the Year. He has great credentials going into the final three games with SMU, Rice and Texas. Keep your eye on No. 89 when the Aggies are on defense. He’ll lead you to the football nearly every time.
