All
-Big Ten
By The Associated Press
The Michigan Wolverines led
the way on the 1968 Associated
Press All-Big Ten team by having
six players named to the squad.
Michigan's record breaking Ron
Johnson was a unanimous choice
for the all-conference backfield.
Johnson rushed for 1,018 yards.
and scored 92 points to set Big
Ten records in both departments.
In a single game against Wiscon-
sin, Johnson rushed for 347
yards and scored five touchdowns;
again conference records. The
347 yards was an NCAA single
game rushing record.
Denny Brown, Johnson's back-
field mate with the Wolverines,
was named the All-Big Ten quar-
terback.
Brown led the Wolverines to an
t 8-2 season record and was the
Big Ten total offense leader and
collected 1777 yards total for the
season. Over the season, Brown
completed 109 of 229 passes for a
.485 average.
Michigan end Jim Mandich
joined teammates Johnson and
Brown on the All-Big Ten offense.
Mandich caught 43 passes for 574
yards during the season and dis-
tinguished himself as one of the
finest blocking ends in the con-
ference.
Tom Curtis, Wolverine safety,
was the only unanimous choice to
the defensive team. Curtis inter-
cepted 10 passes during the cam-
paign and returned them for 182,
yards. When asked to comment
upon his selection, Curtis was
somewhat tongue-tied, "I don't
know what to say," replied Curtis.

team in tackles and Goss bottled
up the middle with his fine play.
The only other unanimous
choice to the team was offensive
tackle Dave Foley of Ohio State.
Along with Rufus Mayes, another
all-conference tackle, Foley was
a major reason for his team's title
winning victory over Michigan.
Purdue All-American Leroy
Keyes and Iowa's Ed Podolak
rounded out the all-conference
backfield.
Keyes, though hampered by in-
juries, still managed to ruin the
hopes of mighty Notre Dame by
defeating them almost single
handedly. Keyes ran for two
touchdowns, threw for another
and played defense against the
great Jim Seymour.
Jade Butcher, one of the In-
diana wonder boys, captured the
split end position. The other of-
fensive linemen are Gary Roberts

"I'm certainly proud and hon-
ored," Simpson told a news con-
ference by telephone from Los
Angeles. "I'm so excited.
"We're happy about everything
that's happened this season, but
we're kind of concerned about
Notre Dame."
He has carried the ball this year
334 times, a record, and piled up
1,654 yards rushing, a new peak
in that category. He has scored
21 touchdowns, the most in the
nation.
A transfer from City College of
San Francisco, Simpson has play-
ed only two seasons with USC but
in that period has accomplished
more than many top-grade ath-
letes are able to gain in three.
His career record shows high
with 3,069 yards rushing and 32
touchdowns. No athlete has ever
gained more on the ground in two
years.
O. J. has a good chance of
grabbing two other season marks
with a game against Notre Dame
left. He needs only 7 points to
overtake Jim O'Brien of Cincin-
nati, who has finished for the
scoring lead.
He needs to pick up 85 more
yards in any fashion - running,
pass-catching, kick-returning -
to pass Eugene Morris of West
Texas State as the nation's No. 1
all-purpose back of 1968. Morris
has 1,957 yards, Simpson 1,872.
The Trojans close out their reg-
ular season against Notre Dame

CHICAGO - Two radical bas-
ketball changes will be ;proposed
by Big Ten coaches to athletic di-
rectors at the conference winter
meeting in Chicago next month.
Some coaches, who met Sunday
in Chicago, want the Big Ten
basketball runnerup to accept a
bid to the post-season National
Invitation Tournament in New
York City. They also want the 1-
and-1 free throw situation elim-
inated as it is currently under in-
ternational Olympic rules.
John Orr, Michigan's new
coach, proposed a post-season bid
to the Big Ten's second place
team.
"The Big Ten never has gone
overboard for post-season com-
petition -but we've always been a
strong supporter of the NCAA's
national tournament in basket-
ball," said Commissioner Bill
Reed.
Indiana Coach Lou Watson
was among those opposing post-
season play for the runnerup. "Af-
ter a team makes an all-out bid
for the conference title and the
NCAA tournament berth," he said,
"I think it is too much to ask
for the kids to compete in ano-
ther meet after running second."
Watson wants elimination of
the 1-and-1 rule.
"We are killing our game," he
said. "Nobody comes to see a free-
throw shooting contest and that
is all we will ever have as long
as we continue to make the 1-and-
1 foul call legal."
Reed said the elimination of the
rule is something for the rules
committee to act upon.

CHICAGO - Outfielder Willie
Horton of the Detroit Tigers has
joined another major league base-
ball star, pitcher Fergy Jenkins
of the Chicago Cubs, on the Har-
lem Globetrotters basketball team.
Both will appear at the Chi-
cago Stadium -Friday night and
will play with the Trotters as of-
ten as their schedules permit.
* * *
DETROIT - Mel Farr of the
Detroit Lions, who was the Na-
tional Football League's leading
ground gainer when he was in-
jured Oct. 27 in a game against
San Francisco, will undergo sur-
gery on his left knee Wednesday
morning and be out for the rest
of the season.
Farr, NFL rookie of the year in
1967, had helped spark the Lions
to a 3-1-2 record up to the date
of his injury. The Lions have not
won a game since then.
