The unanimous choice for cap

son. Slug is called "the ideal .
team man" by Player-Coach Alf J
Turner. "He and Ross Kelly 1
work their hearts out all the 1
time,” Turner says, "and don't ■
think the rest of us don't ap
preciate it.”
Kelly and Orvis form one de
fensive unit, while Turner and 1
Rheo Touzin make up another.j 1

at the net as the Lions won last
Saturday night. In the game
before that they limited Clinton

All the defensemen are defi

missed turning in a "hat trick”

cently. Kelly, Turner and Touzin
have made their share of points,

numerous assists and set-ups.

East Stresses
;Pass Plays in
Secret Drill
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 25 UP).
—Both the East and West squads
drilling for Saturday's annual
Shrine benefit football game took
the day off today and will have
Christmas parties tonight.
Yesterday the East squad
I coached by Terry Brennan of
[Notre Dame worked on offense
while the West team coached by
Buck Shaw of the Air Academy
drilled on defense, both behind
locked gates. ,
Word filtering out of the East
practice at Santa Clara was that
Brennan's beefy collegians
worked on pass plays to go with
the expected accent on ground
power. Notre Dame’s Paul Hor
nung and Penn State's Milt
Plum did the pitching.
As Shaw's lighter West squad;
drilled at Stanford, Phil Bengt
son, line coach of San Francisco’s
Forty-niners, said, “The game
may hinge on what kind of pro
tection the West can give (Stan-*
ford's John) Brodie.
“The East line is the biggest
and one must assume more pow
erful, but the West has some
linepien who may be quicker.”
Tom Emerson, 220-pound West
tackle from Oklahoma observed
that the Oklahoma line was out
weighed almost every game in
the three years he played with
the Sooners, but it was never
outfought.
Emerson had personal contact
with one of the East stars he
will face Saturday—Maryland's
240-pound tackle, Mike San
dusky.
“I played against him in the
Orange Bowl last year." Emer
son recalled, “and didn't think
I took the worst of it.”

Giants Planning Strategy
For Stopping Bears' Hill
NEW YORK. Dec. 25 (A 3 ).
Already singed by the halr-rais-*
ing pass grabbing of End Har
lon Hill the New York Giants
are turning their attention to
ward Hill, in particular, and the
Chicago Bears, in general, as
they planned strategy for the
National Football League cham
pionship playoff Sunday.
“We’ll try to double-up on
him as much as we can,” said
Jim Lee Howell, coach of the
Eastern Division champions.
“But we can’t go overboard on
him because the Bears have
such good runners. That's what
makes it so hard to set up a
defense for them.”
In the only regular-season
meeting between the teams in
Yankee Stadium November 25,
. Hill came up with two spectacu
; lar touchdown catches in the
final quarter to enable the Bears
to pull out a 17-17 deadlock.
Since the Bears won the West
ern Division title with a 9-2-1
record over Detroit's 9-3-0, Hill’s
performance in that game was
of paramount importance.
“I don’t know for sure who’s
going to defend against Hill,”
Howell said. "He's all over . . .
at end ... in the backfleld . .*.
just all over. If I tried to have
specific men cover him, they’d
be running into each other. The
best I can hope for is to do it by
Rose Bowl Squads
To Drill Tomorrow
After Holiday Rest
PASADENA. Calif., Dec, 25 UP).
—The Rose Bowl teams, lowa
and Oregon State, took a rest
from football today to observe
Christmas. ,
■ Both squads go back to the

the windup of preparations for
the big New Year’s Day battle.
Today the Beavers of Oregon
State expect to loaf around the
Miramar Hotel and its pool in
Santa Monica and have a Christ
mas celebration in the evening.
The lowa Hawtfeyes exchanged
gifts at a team party last night
at their quarters in the Hunt
ington-Sheraton Hotel here. On
tap is a tour of movie stars’
homes in Beverly Hills.
As for the drills yesterday, the.
coaches had divergent views.
“It was an unspirited work-!
out,” lowa's Forest Evashevski
said.
“We looked good—lt was a
good practice.” Oregon State’s
Tommy Prothro said.
The ace Beaver tailback. Joe
Francis, was in uniform but took
no rough stuff as he nursed a
hip bruise suffered Sunday.
Prothro and Trainer Bill
Robertson expect Francis to be
back in action by Thursday.
