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.

Newman only missed three of the twenty selections: Michigan (who he picked as an 8 point favorite), Syracuse and TOM CURTIS JIM MANDICH RON JOHNSON 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 of Purdue and Jon Meskimen of Iowa at the guards and Jack Rud- nay of Northwestern at center.

"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 Saturday, then take some time off before meeting Ohio State in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. By The Associated Press 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.
