Dorsett, who gained 1,586 yards in 11 games to finish second na tionally rushing, is the first fresh man in 29 years to make the AP first team. The last was Army’s Doc Blanchard in 1944. The SWC representatives are tight end Andre Tillman of Texas Tech, center Bill Wyman of Texas and back Roosevelt Leaks of Tex as. Leaks was the leading rusher in the conference this season be hind the solid blocking of Wyman. Other SWC members of the AP team include Texas A&M line backer Ed Simonini, second team; Arkansas running back Dickey Morton, third team; and Univer sity of Houston linebacker Deryl McGallion, third team. There were three repeat mem bers of the first team. Randy Grandishar, an Ohio State line backer, John Hicks, a Buckeye of fensive tackle, and Richard Wood, a Southern Cal linebacker, were on the first team last year. Joining Dorsett in a record setting backfield are running backs Leaks and John Cappelletti of Penn State, who finished fourth and fifth in the rushing statistics, and quarterback David Jaynes of Kansas, who set six Big Eight Conference passing records. The AP All-America team will appear on the Bob Hope Special, to be shown by NBC-TV on Dec. 9 at 9 p.m., EST. The rest of the offensive team consists of wide receiver Lynn Swann of Southern California, Tillman at tight end, tackle Bud dy Brown of Alabama, guards Ty ler Lafauci of Louisiana State and Wyman at center. Rounding out the defensive team are ends Pat Donovan of Stanford and Randy White of Maryland, tackles John Dutton of Nebraska and Dave Gallagher of Michigan, middle guard Lucious Selmon of Oklahoma, linebacker Rod Shoate of Oklahoma, and backs Jimmy Allen of UCLA, Artimus Parker of Southern Cali fornia and Mike Townsend of Notre Dame. The team consists of one fresh man, 16 seniors and five juniors— Wood, Leaks, Donovan, White and Shoate. Penn State Coach Joe Paterno, who has coached such greats as Lenny Moore, Franco Harris, Ly- dell Mitchell, Mike Reid, Ted Kwalick, Jack Ham and John Huf- nagel, calls Cappelletti “the best player I’ve ever been around.” The 6-1, 215-pounder carried 286 times for 1,522 yards and 16 touchdowns . . . and in one game he only appeared for three plays because of an injury and didn’t carry the ball. He also caught 22 passes for 207 yards and a touch down and completed a pass for 17 yards. Leaks, a bruising 220-pounder, led Texas to' its sixth consecu tive Southwest Conference cham pionship with a league record 1,- 415 yards, including a brilliant 342-yard game against Southern Methodist. That was only eight yards short of the national one- game mark. “He makes a lot of big plays that the people in the stands no tice, but it’s the sticky four, five and six-yard runs that impress me,” UT coach Darrell Royal says. “Those are the kind of yards not too many people can get with folks draped all over you.” Jaynes completed 172 of 330 passes for 2,131 yards and 13 touchdowns and was intercepted only nine times, one of the best interception ratios in history. His finest performance came in a 28- 27 loss to nationally ranked Ten nessee when he connected on 35 of 58 passes for 394 yards. He holds every Kansas passing mark but one. Southern Cal’s Swann is a su per receiver and kick returner, “as valuable to us as Johnny Rodgers was to Nebraska,” ac cording to Coach John McKay. “In our offense, he is called on to run, block and catch passes and Swann is excellent at all three.” Tight end Tillman is a tower ing 6-5, 230-pounder who is equal ly proficient at blocking and re ceiving. “I have not seen — and doubt I would see — a tight end who blocks like he does,” says Tom Wilson, Texas Tech’s receiver coach. “He’s a devastating block er. He enjoys it.” It goes without saying that all the offensive interior linemen — Hicks, Brown, Lafauci, Yoest and Wyman — are great blockers. In fact, Ohio State’s Woody Hayes called Hicks “the best offensive lineman I have ever coached,” in cluding Hall of Famer Jim Parker. The most famous names on the defensive unit are Selmon — one of three brothers on Oklahoma’s front five—and teammate Shoate and Wood. Coach Barry Switzer .calls Sel mon “the greatest down lineman in the United States. He’s the best we’ve ever had here, and we have had some really great ones.” Shoate, according to Switzer, “looks like one of those guided missiles — swoosh! and he’s got the ball-carrier.” Southern Cal’s Wood was call ing defensive signals as a sopho- last season and McKay more Ag Cagers Get Fast Meet Tarleton State Start; Next called him “the best linebacker I’ve had at this stage of his de velopment. He has great strength and quickness and is fast as most backs.” Townsend of Notre Dame was the nation’s leading interceptor last year. This season, teams avoided his area but he still gave a vivid example of his talent against Pitt when he broke up two sure touchdown passes in the end zone and tackled Dorsett after a 65-yard run to prevent another score. Parker of USC topped the Pa cific-8 Conference with eight in terceptions, making him one of the nation’s leaders. He returned the eight steals for 100 yards and he holds the conference career record of 20 interceptions. First Team Offense Tight End—Andre Tillman, Texas Tech, 6-5, 230, Senior, Dallas, Tex.

The Aggies beat Houston Bap tist 85-72 by controlling the boards by a 68-39 margin, then built a 24-point lead over South west Texas before letting the re serves handle the game for a large part of the second half in a 74- 65 victory. “We’ve had improved play from our postmen Cedric Joseph, Jer ry Mercer and John Thornton,” coach Shelby Metcalf said. “Norm Reuther (new assistant coach) Shaffer, Howard Take Awards In W eekend T ennis T ournament Skyway Twin yfr jfv.v.

Our point play from Mike Floyd and Charlie Jenkins has been good.” With Tarleton State coming into G. Rollie White Coliseum Thursday followed by Stephen F. Austin on Monday, Metcalf sees a couple of areas which need def inite improvement. “We have to get better play out of our wing- men and we have to improve de fensively,” Metcalf said. Along with the aggressive play of the postmen, Metcalf has been encouraged by the play of reserve forward Webb Williams. “Webb had a sprained back in early prac tices, but he is rounding into form now.” The interest in the team has been high with the most atten dance at the first two games than at any time since A&M started keeping such figures. The Aggie band has also been at the first two games, the first time it has played at non-conference contests. “The team really appreciates having the band at the games,” Metcalf said. “The band does a lot for our spirit and enthus iasm.” After the four-game opening homestand, the Aggies will play Virginia Commonwealth on Dec. 19 in Richmond, Va., then compete in the Marshall Memorial Invi tational Dec. 21-22 in Huntington, W.
