SECS BEST OF DECADE
Cannon Dominates
BoIIoting in AP Poll

ATLANTA, Jan. 20 (AP)-It
it not surprising that two pro-
feSsional football teams think
so highly of Billy Cannon that
they are willing to go to court
to back their claims to the
Louisiana State football star.
Sports writer's and sports
casters, voting in an Associated

most outstanding football
player the Southwestern Con-
ference produced during the

The strong, swift halfback
twice won All-America honors
and last season, his senior year,
was awarded the Heisman
Trophy as the outstanding COL
lege player of 1859.
The 6-foot-1, 2l0-pounder
was a runaway choice as the
leagues outstanding player,
best all-around back and best
runner of the decade. And he
nosed out three talented per-
formers in tight ballot battle
as the best defensive back Of
the period.
In the outstanding player
category, Cannon polled 40
votes to eight for the runner
up. Vito Babe Parilli, Ken
tucky's great quarterback who
concluded his college career in
1851. Another Wildcat, Lou
aels, 1857 All-America

votes. Eight other players drew
scattered support.
Cannon and Parilli also ran
one-tWo in balloting for the
best back of the l950s. The
vote again was one-sided-46-6.
Quarterback Jackie Parker Of
Mississippi State 1889 was a
close third with five votes.
