SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
The Browns Tiqht End-And Punter?
By MERRELL WHlTTLESEY

GARY'S BEST DAY AS A PUNTER was
against Penn State, when he averaged 46.5
yards in six punts. And Collins has an
asset that cannot be measured in yardage.
He kicks high probably as high ball as
returned against him.
Gary set Atlantic Coast Conference
and University of Maryland records in
passes caught in college career, touch
down passes, and yardage gained.
But some people thought he might
have caught more than 40 passes this year
if more had been thrown his way. 1t was
a weekly question at the Maryland press
luncheons-"Why aren't more passes thrown
to Collins?"
GARY SAID HE WAS SATISFIED with
the 40, and, in fact, didn't think he would
hit that number when he saw the double
coverage that Southern Methodist used in
the first game of the season. when
saw those two men on me I didn't think
I'd catch 10 all season." he said yesterday.
Coach Bill Meek of SMU, now ex-coach,
set the pattern Collins was double teamed
most of the season, triple-teamed at times.
Syracuse laid off of the double -teaming
for part of the game, and Gary had one of
his best days against the Orange. Virginia
started with double coverage, dropped off
to one, but when Gary caught four or five
in a row the Cavaliers went back to the
double teaming until Collins was hurt.
Collins figures he will be the tight end
in pro ball. ITO be the split end you have
to have either great speed like Ray Renfro
of the Browns, or great moves like Ray
Berry of the Colts
"I can go 1913, which is fast enough
for tight end, and believe have enough
moves"
FOR ALL OF HIS GLORIOUS moments
over the past season, Collins version of his
two biggest moments would surprise you
The first was when he missed being
named team captain by only one vote. 81
had been getting big buildup and thought
some of the guys might resent it," Gary
said, When I missed by only vote
thought it was great"
The other was stopping Davis on the
1-foot line on third down in the Syracuse
game. Collins was hurt on the play, anc
Davis scored on fourth down.
The rewards for a great career are
pouring in. Two week ends in New Yorl
for All-America team banquets the East
West game in San Francisco and Senior
Bowl in Mobile, Touchdown Club dinners il
Greenville, Wilmington and Harrisburg
and testimonial in his home town.
"It only comes once in a lifetime,
Gary said. Nine dollar steaks and bee
or two. I love every minute of it."

KO Of Cooper Boosts
Fo||ey's Title Hopes

The result boosted Folley's
prospects for a shot at the

condemned Cooper to a lowly

rankings.

GARY COLLINS IS FINDING that this
great wonderful world of being an ALL
American can be expensive.
Among the seven All-America teams
that the Maryland end has made to date
is the Fox Movetone News team, and that's
not an honor that you can take home and
put in your scrap book.
The team was shown at the Ontario
Theater last week. Collins and buddy
learned that it would go on about ITO
one evening. Gary paid $149, which is
more than they charge for the movies in
his home town of Williamstown Pa, saw
the last 3 minutes of Breakfast at
Tiffany's," saw himself on the screen for
10 or Is seconds, and went home
But that was before the pro football
drafts Some time in the next few weeks
Collins will sign with the Cleveland Browns,
Boston of the American League or Edmon-
ton of the Canadian League, and he can
deduct the 81 40 from his bonus.
Collins remarked that his selection by
the Browns came as surprise. He had
been contacted by every National League
team except the Browns and Green Bay
Packers.
BUT MONDAY MORNING, while Gary
was in New York for the round of appear
ances with the American Football Coaches
All-American team, he received visit from
Mike Brown, son of the Cleveland coach.
About an hour later he was the fourth
player picked in the NF'L draft.
Coach Paul Brown called Gary yester
day and told him not to pay any attention
to the rumored trade of Collins and Bobby
Mitchell to the Redskins for Ernie Davis
1--WE want you as an offensive end and
punter," Paul told him. You're going to
stick with u.s."
Collins, who punted through high
school and college and never had one
blocked, averaged 37.3 yards in 48 punts
for Maryland this past season.
"I BELIEVE I COULD average about AZ
yards in pro ball." Collins said, which
should be good enough.
"I'll be stronger and fresher punting
in pro ball." he pointed out, adding, "If I
make it. It's going to be lot different

Here 1 was playing offense and de-
fense, running pass patterns and running

ana I wouldn't get as much distance.

Kennedy Claims

The President noted that some
Republicans have been persist
ent in mentioning that he won
the presidency by a small mar
gin last year. He related that to
the Notre Dame-Syracuse foot
ball game, which Notre Dame
won on a second chance" field
goal after time had expired.
The NCAA Rules Committee
chairman, Bob Neyland, has
ruled the second chance kick
was illegal-that the roughing
the ball holder penalty called
on a Syracuse player as time
expired should not have ex-
tended the game.
Notre Dame would have to
concede for the result to be
reversed. Notre Dame officials
have Indicated they will not.
1t was in this connection that
the President said he wasn't
going to give back his victory
of 1860 and advised Notre Dame
not to do it either.

Middies Show
Tight Defense
In Rout Of All
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. 6-Navy,
putting defense first, began it's
basketball season here last
night with a rather interesting
version of the American Patrol.
The Middies, patrolling close
ly, stopped American U. with
only four first-half field goals
and marched away with a
snappy 68-43 triumph. For an
opener, Navy Coach Ben Car
nevale wound up with satisfac-
ton two ways.
Carnevale is one of those
rare individuals who believes
defense isn't exactly a nasty
word in basketball. He began
his pre-game lecture with a
five-point talk on its virtue.
Then his Middies, using a
sticky man-to-man. simply
practiced what he preached.
Navy Never Trails
They didn't let the Eagles
get set for a shot, switched
neatly on pick-off plays and
blocked we'll inside to get their
share of rebounds. There was
reason enough for Navy to be
on guard. Essentially the same
Eagle team upset the Middies
here last year, 1853.
Navy never trailed this time.
American U. didn't get its first
field goal until more than seven
minutes had been played and at
the half was we'll out of it, 35-
II. Against this constant de-
fenSive harrassment, American
U. managed to shoot a feeble
26 per cent.
We're a better ball club than
that" Eagle Coach Dave Car
rasco explained. but that Navy
defense was very good. They
look like they could be pretty
tough this year. They'll cer-
tainly run into stronger oppo-
sition than we provided, but

NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (AP).-
President Kennedy, former
Harvard junior varsity player
and the Nations No. / touch
football fan, wants no part of
the current controversy over
whether baseball or football
now is the national pasttime.
But, grinning, he advises
Notre Dame not to give back its
controversial 17-15 victory over
Syracuse last month.
Referring to a close victory of
his own in 1860, he said he had
no intention of giving that back.
The President was the fea-
tured speaker last night at the
annual awards dinner of the
National Football Foundation
and Hall of Fame. He was the
recipient of the foundations
Gold Medal award, given for the
example he has set in recogniz-
ing the major role of amateur
athletics in fostering moral
values and leadership.
Nation of Spectators
He shared the head table
with eight former players and
one of the former coaches who
were inducted into the Hall Of
Fame, and eight others honored
as scholar athletes.
Referring to the baseball
football controversy. he said
The sad fact is that it looks
more and more as if our great
national sport is not playing at
all-but watching. We have
become more and more not a
Nation of athletes, but a Ma
| ton of spectators. The result
of this shift from participation
to-if / may coin a word
spectation is all too visible III
the physical condition of our
! population"
Mr.. Kennedy called the
American people physically soft
as a result of push-button living.
/ I'VE are under exercised as
a Nation" he said. I'VE look
instead of play, ride instead of
walk. Our push-button exist
ence deprives us OF the
minimum of physical activity
essential for healthy living"
/ He called for a long, serious
look at the Nations physical
condition. and for a change in
the way millions of Americans
live.
The remedy. in my judg-
ment, lies IN one direction-iil
developing programs for broad
participation in exercise by all
our young men and women,
he said.
In short, what we must do
is literally change the physical
habits of millions of Americans
and that is far more difficult
than changing their tastes
their fashions or even their
politics"
