Pete's
By DAVE WEIR
There are several striking simi-
larities between the Illinois and
Michigan fotball teams which will
tangle Saturday in the annual
"Battle of the Brothers" between
coaches Bump and Pete Elliott.
Both teams have 2-2 records in
Big-Ten play this season and have
seen their hopes for a trip to the
Rose Bowl dashed in last-quarter
heartbreaking losses to Purdue.
The starting quarterbacks for
the two teams come from the same
high school. Bob Naponic, sopho-
more field general of the Illini,
was Dick Vidmer's understudy
during their prep days in Greens-
burg, Pa.
Both teams have a fine split
end who is rewriting his school's
record book for pass receiving.
Illinois' John Wright is second in
the conference only to Michigan's
Jack Clancy in receptions and
yards gained..
And, of course, both teams are
coached by an Elliott. Michigan's
Bump, the elder of the two, holds
a 6-0 rivalry which dates back to
Pete's first year at Illinois inI
1960.
The Illini come into this game
after a 25-21 loss to Purdue last
Saturday which all but eliminated
them from the Rose Bowl picture.
Wolverine defensive line coach
Dennis Fitzgerald, who scouted the
game, stated that the loss was due
to a "very, very close decision.
"With 81 seconds left in thej
game, Bob Griese, while scrambl-'

ing around in the backfield, very
nearly crossed the line of scrim-
mage before uncorking an alley-
oop type pass downfield. Jim Fin-
ley caught the pass in the cornea
of the end zone and there way
some discussion as to whether he
was in the field of play when he
hauled it in."

"they have improved a great deal
offensively since the start of the
season, despite the loss of their
top runners, Pinder and Bess. The
main reason for the improvement
has been the settling down of
Naponic at quarterback. He now
runs the option play very well.
Earlier in the year he hurt them
by 'eating the ball' too much, but
he has overcome this and has de-
veloped into a good passer and
runner."

Deceptive
Overall, the Illini present a for-
midable threat to the Wolverines'
two-game winning streak. As Fitz-
gerald puts it, "They're a much
better team than their 2-5 record
indicates.
"In fact, they could well be the
second best team we've faced all
season. They've suffered great
disappointments, much as we
have, but they have dedicated
themselves to win this game . .
this is THE game as far as they
are concerned. We will have to
play a great football game to beat
them."
When asked whether he thought
Illinois would be "down" after last
week's heartbreaking loss to Pur-
due, Fitzgerald simply remarked,
"Remember what we did to Min-
nesota a couple weeks ago just one
week after our one point loss to
Purdue?"

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Sandy Koufax,
the arthritic left-hander of the
Los Angeles Dodgers, yesterday
was named the winner of the Cy
Young Award as the best pitcher
in major league baseball for an
unprecedented third time.
The stylish 30-year-old south-
pay, who posted a 27-9 record for
the National League champions,
added the 1966 award to his col-
lection by unanimous vote of the
20-member panel of the Baseball
Writers Association of America,
just as he did in 1963 and 1965.
Koufax, apparently seekingto
make the award his exculsive
trophy, is the only pitcher to win
it more than once since it was
originated in 1956.
In the 11 years the award has
been given, National League piteb-
ers have won it seven times to
four for the American League.
Koufax, with his three awards,
has been the difference.
He also was the difference dur-
ing the regular season for the
Dodgers, rounding into shape
quickly after his dual holdout
with Don Drysdale brought him a
salary in the neighborhood of
$130,000.
He won more games than any
other pitcher in the majors, com-
pleted 27 of his 41 starts, hurled
five shutouts, led the majors in
strikeouts with 317 and in earned
run average with a 1.73 mark.
Koufax also pitched the pen-
nant-clincher, beating Philadel-
phia 6-3 on the final day of the
season. But he lost his only start

in the World Series as the Balti-
more Orioles swept the Dodgers in
four straight games.
In being named on every ballot
of the 20 writers, one' represent-
ing reach franchise in the majors,
Koufax completely overshadowed
the other six 20-game winners
during the 1966 season.

NEW ORLEANS has been se-
lected to become the 16th fran-
chise in the NATIONAL FOOT-
BALL LEAGUE. The Southern
city will field a team next season,
and will use Tulane University's
82,500-seat stadium.

the lead for the next AMERICAN
