AP names Curtis, Mandich All-Americans

NEW YORK {A)-Jim Mandich, Michigan's
second all-time leading pass catcher, and Tom
Curtis, who snared eight enemy passes, were both
selected to the 1969 All-American football team
by the Associated Press.
Mandich, in a typically humble mood com-
mented, "It was a great honor indeed, but I felt
much better over winning the Big Ten champion-
ship and in playing in the Rose Bowl."
Mandich's roommate, Curtis, in at least a jovial
mood, noted, "Being selected for the All-American
team was something that I've been dreaming
about since I was a little kid."
Although no Wolverines made the second and
third teams, they did manage to flood the honor-
able mention category with tackle Dan Dierdorf,
tailback Billy Taylor, fullback Garvie Craw, end
Cecil Pryor, middle guard Henry Hill, linebacker
Marty Huff, and defensive back Barry Pierson.
Oklahoma's Steve Owens, winner of the Heis-
man Trophy as college football's outstanding
player, and Mike Reid of Penn State, recipient
of the Outland Trophy as the best interior line-
man, were also named to the team.
Despite a season-ending loss to Michigan, Ohio
State placed three players among the top 22, with
two each coming from Tennessee and Penn State,
in addition to Michigan. Top-ranked Texas and
runner-up Arkansas each had one representative
on the first team.
Joining tailback Owens in the offensive back-
fitld are Mike Phipps, Purdue's record-breaking
quarterback; halfback Bob Anderson of Colorado
and fullback Jim Otis of Ohio State.
The dream backfield would have little trouble
moving the ball behind a line that includes tackles
Bob McKay of Texas and John Ward of Oklahoma
State, guards Bill Bridges of Houston and Chip
Kell of Tennessee and center, Rodney Brand of
Arkansas. On the flank with Mandich is end
Walker Gillette of Richmond.
The defense unit consists of ends Jimmy Gunn,
Southern California, and Phil Olsen, Utah State;
tackles Reid and Mike McCoy, Notre Dame; middle
guard Jim Stillwagon, Ohio State; line backers
Steve Kiner of Tennessee and Dennis Onkotz of
Penn State-the only repeaters-and Don Parish
of Stanford and backs Jack Tatum of Ohio State.
Buddy McGlinton of Auburn, and Curtis.
Kell, Stillwagon and Tatum are the only jun-
iors while Owens, Gunn, Reid and Curtis all
moved up from the 1968 second All-America team.
Owens closed out his career with his greatest
day-55 carries for 261 yards, giving him a
career total of 3,867 yards, most in the history
of major college football. For the season, he led
the nation in rushing and scoring with 358 car-
ries for 1,523 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Phipps, rated the best quarterback in the
country by such -opponents as Alex Agase of
Northwestern and Lou McCullough, Ohio State's
defensive coach, completed 169 of 321 passes for
2,527 yards and 23 touchdowns and set all sorts
of Big Ten offense records.
Anderson, another slashing runner like Owens,
made a difficult switch from quarterback to half-
back after two games and finished with 954 yards
and 18 touchdowns.
Otis, who "picks up short yardage better than
anyone I've had," according to Coach W o o d y
Hayes, ripped off 1,027 and 15 touchdowns in
only nine games.
Gillette latched onto 57 passes for 1,090 yards
and 11 touchdowns despite a shoulder injury which
lasted two games and made it impossible for him
to lift his right arm.
McKay, a 250-pounder, was the prime hole-
opener for Texas' great running backs while Ward,
at 248, probably can step right into the pros as
a pulling guard. Ward also doubled on defense
much of the time.

MICHIGAN CAPTAIN Jim Mandich (88) catches a pass from
Don Moorhead in the Ohio State game. The Wolverine tight end
was honored again yesterday when the Associated Press named
him to their first team.
National League selects Feeney president;
Tigers swap Dobson to Padres for Niekro
By BILL ALTERMAN
The Michigan icemen open a
two game home-aid-home
weekend against the Michigan
State Spartans tonight at 8
p.m. in the Coliseum. B o t h
teams split their opening series.
Michigan came back after an
opening game 4-3 loss to Wis-
consin to defeat the Gophers
4-1 and State did the reverse,
beating North Dakota 8-3 Fri-
day and then getting dumped
Saturday 4-2.
Offensively, the Wolverines
have an experienced front line
in Dave Perrin (last year's lead-
ing point maker), Paul Gams-
by and Merle Falk. Last week,
however, it was the second team
that led the team to their vic-
tory, sophomore Bernie G a g-
non, freshman Mickey Shaw
and junior Brian Slack each
contributing a goal in the con-
test.

PHIL HERTZ
though, as State has an excel-
lent pair of goalies in Rick Duf-
fet and Bob Johnson. Last year
Duffet had the best goalie aver-
age in the conference, allowing
only 2.4 goals per game. John-
son s average was a sparkling
4.1. Both Duffet and Johnson
are seniors and have three years
experience.
Wolverine coach Al Renfrew
is more than pleased with his
own defense. Last week sopho-
more goalie Karl Bagnell made
numerous saves in a sparkling
performance Saturday.
Professional Standings
Michigan's defensemen play-
ed particularly well. One team
consists of sophomores B r i a n
Skinner and Jean-Yves "Punch"
Cartier, the other freshman
Michel Jarry and junior Tom
Marra. Against Wisconsin they
did an excellent job of bottling
up the Gopher front line.
THE SPARTANS' offense will
be led by Bill Watt, the team's
second leading scorer last year.
When Watts & Co. put it all to-
gether they can work wonders
as evidenced by the 8 goals they
scored against North Dakota
Friday. Watt has always been a
problem for Michigan. Last sea-
son in one game he scored four
goals against the Maize and
Blue.
Overall, the two teams split the
six games in which they faced
each other last year. State how-
ever finished up the head-to-
head competition strong, win-
ning the last two games in the
series 7-3 and 5-1 respectively.
IN BIG TEN competition
Michigan came out first with a
7-5-0 record while Michigan
State was second with a 5-4-1
record. In the WCHA Michigan
was fourth at 10-8. State w a s
sixth with a 7-10-1 season.
Though Coach Renfrew w a s
worried about inexperience be-
fore the beginning of the sea-
son, it looks like his fears were
unfounded. But then again,
that's what Bo Schembechler
thought when his boys f a c e d
Michigan State and pow, t h e y
played like a "bunch of high-
schoolers."

MIAMI BEACH ()-The Na-
tional League selected a new presi-
dent, four player trades were con-
summated, and All-Star balloting
was returned to the fans as the
winter baseball meetings picked
up momentum on all fronts.
Charles "Chub" Feeney, vice-
president-general manager of the
San Francisco Giants was unani-
mously elected to a four year term
as boss of the senior circuit to
-succeed the retiring Warren Giles.
Giles has spent 50 years in base-
ball, the last 18 as NL president.
In a major player swap of the
day, the Detroit Tigers sent Pat
Dobson to the San Diego Padres
for Joe Niekro in an exchange of
pitchers.
Dobson was 5-10 with a 3.60
ERA for the Tigers last season,
and Niekro compiled an 8-18 rec-
ord and 3.71 earned run average
in a season split between the Chi-
cago Cubs and the Padres. In-
fielder Dave Campbell was sent to
the Padres to complete the deal.
Feeney, a front-runner for the
jog of replacing Giles, did not
accept it until he received as-
surance that the league president's
prestige would not be weakened in
any possible future restructuring
of the sport.
A plan for restructure, with
ABRAHA
concentration of authority in the
commissioner's office, is among
the items still to be dealt with by
baseball's hierarchy.
"The league presidency will be
the same as before," said Feeney.
"Yes, that was a consideration to
taking the job."
Feeney, a member of the re-
structuring planning committee, is
among those who oppose radical
changes that would sublimate the
leagues to the commissioner's of-
fice.
Feeney has also announced his
opposition to a reduction in the
162-game schedule. He is a stock-
holder in the Giants, but said he
would dispose of his shares im-
mediately.
In another administrative move,
Baseball Commissioner B o w i e
Kuhn indicated that All-Star
game balloting will be returned
to the fans in 1970.
"We are trying to devise a way
to permit the fans to vote for the
All-Star team again," the com-
missioner said.
"We are at a pretty well prog-
ressed stage on the matter and I
am confident it can be done in
1970."
"There is no objection to the
players voting or to the kind of
teams they select," Kuhn s a id.
"But if you give it to the fans,
you give them the enjoyment of
participation."
It was announced at yesterday's
meetings that the 1970 All-Star
game will be played in Cincinnati's
new stadium on July 14.
In another trade, Seattle s e n t
left-hander George Brunet to
Washington for righty reliever
Dave Baldwin. Brunet was 8-12
for California and Seattle last
year.
The day's other two trades saw
the St. Louis Cardinals engineer
their fifth trade of the off-season,
sending outfielder Charlie D a y
to the Chicago Cubs for pitcher
Rich Nye, and the New Y o r k
Yankees swap first baseman Joe
Pepitone to the Houston Astros for
Curt Blefary,
