AL KALINE, an outfielder who has waited for this World Series longer than most people
like to admit, crosses home plate after his mighty homer in the fifth inning yesterday at

Today will start with a short
sports quiz designed to separate
the real'fan from the dilletante.,
What major college halfback
has gained over 1,000 yards rush-
ing in both his sophomore and
junior seasons?
Answers of 0. J. Simpson and
Leroy Keyes put a person in the
out group. The correct answer is
Chris Gilbert of the University of
Texas.
The question is not really fair,
though, since Chris Gilbert has to
be the least publicized star in col-
lege football today.
Gilbert -has the misfortune of
playing at a time when great run-
ning backs abound and so has nev-
er received the attention he mer-
Its. He is not the flashy, breaka-
way type of speedster that Keyes
is, but still has enough to pick up
the long gain. Gilbert can be as
tough as anyone in the open field,
as Is witnessed by his Southwest-
ern Conference record 96-yard
dash last year.
Yet nobody even hears of the
more sensational of Gilbert's feats.
This is probably due, in a large

MEXICO CITY OP) - Avery
Brundage, the 81-year-old presi-
dent of the International Olympic
Committee, will be challenged di
rectly, by France's Conte J e a n
Beaumont, in the election today.
Madame Monique Berlioux, the
press relations office for the IOC,
announced Beaumont's challenge
to Brundage at a press conference
Wednesday night.
Brundage has ruled the IOCI
since 1952 with an iron hand, and
most observers believe that the 70-
member IOC Congress will re-elect
him, yet again.
They were the only two nomi-
nees for the post. '
Madam Berlioux said that the
election would take place at 12:30
p.m., EDT, Thursday and the elec-
tion would be decided on a simple
majority.
Before the meeting started,
Beaumont said that he would not
challenge Brundage for the presi-
dency unless many members of the!
IOC Commission demanded that
he did so.

part, to the mediocre records that,
Texas has compiled in recent
years. The Longhorns have been
6-4 for the past two seasons and
that doesn't help a star' get rave
reviews when others are playing
for national champions.
The ironic thing is that Gilbert
originally went to Texas for,
among other reasons, its football
,tradition. Texas had jus t had
'three great seasons in a row, in,
cluding a national championship,
when he enrolled. However, des-
pite the disappointing records of
the past two years Gilbert remains
happy with his decision to attend
Texas. He has a great liking for
his coach, Darrel Royal, and is
proud that he has been able to
prove himself at a traditionally
tough school like Texas.
To say that Gilbert has proved'
himself. is actually a vast under-
statement. All he has done is break
the Southwestern Conference sin-
gle game, season and career rush-
ing marks. He has easily lived up
to the reputation he gained while
earning All-American honors at
Spring Branch, Texas H i g h
School.
The sad part of it all is that
Gilbert probably will not be able
to .ave as great a season statis-
tically this year. Texas has chang-
ed from the It formation to a "full
house" backfield, taking some of
the load off Gilbert's strong legs.
He undoubtedly will not carry the
ball as much as he has previously.
Gilbert himself estimates that he
will only rush from ten to.fifteen
times a game now while he form-
erly carried twenty times or more.
This fact does not really bother
Gilbert, though, as he thinks that
he will become better prepared for
the pros. He is now used much t

niore as a pass receiver andi, be-
coming a more versatile ballplayer,
not to mention a bigger threat.
Texas Tech feared him so much
that they doubleteamed Gilbert on
all pass patterns in a game played
two weeks ago.
Gilbert also doesn't mind the
formation because he feels that it
will help Texas to become a win-
ning team. Gilbert wants to win
and at the moment this Is the
uppermost thing in his mind.
Gilbert could be upset by his
lack of publicity, but he is t o o
much of a team man for this. He
is one of Texas' tri-captains, along'
with Corby Robertson a n d Bill,
Bradley, a much hearlded player
in his own right. Some may think
that there is dissension cansed by
the attention given to Bradley,
but ,ths is not so. /Gilbert com-
mented, "Bradley and I are good
friends and our only concern is
for the team."
Gilbert's attitude stems from the
fact that he simply loves football.
He is happy about o'ny rewards
that he has received f r o m the
game but they are all secondary to
actually playing.
Gilbert wants to stay with, foot-
ball after graduation by Joining
the pros. He would prefer to go
with a winner, but the a c t u a 1
playing is w h a t really matters.
Chris Gilbert simply gets pleasure
out of football. f
It is too bad that he can't get
recognition for his work. but the
Texas Longhorn shouldn't h a v e
long to wait. From his record there
is no doubt that he will become
a well known person w h e n he
reaches the professional ranks.
The nice thing about it is that he
probably won't care, as long as he
is playing football.

McLain never had it so good.
The 31-game winner of regular
season, coasted along with a big
lead, pitching steady ball against,
the deflated Cards.
Smith gave McLain the oppor-
tunity to come back after two
defeats. the first pitcher to get
such a chance since Hippo
Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs in
1918 who lost his first two starts
to theBoston 'Red.Sox but won
the third time out.
McLain had the most lopsided
shutout in his pocket until the
ninth, when singles by Roger
Maris, Orlando Cepeda and Ja-
vier gave the Cards their only
run. He allowed nine hits, all
singles, didn't walk a nian and
struck out seven, including the
last hitter he faced, Dal Max-
vill, still hitless in 20 trips.
After the game, McLain w a s
asked if he had good stuff. "It
isn't that hard to pitch when you
have a 13-run lead," he said. "I
had real good control."
