UPI, DUCK!
Few areas of sport are subject to more dissension than All-America selections and attempts to decide which football team is No. 1. So then the UPI All-America listed Tommy Wade, Alabama defensive back, as worthy of honorable mention. Because of a broken leg sustained in preseason practice, Wade missed the entire season. His only appearance on the field was to carry the sideline chain during practice.
HAPPY DEATH
Walking out to his first-base position one day last week, Lee Morrison, 83, succumbed to a heart attack. He had batted .574 for the St. Petersburg ( Fla.) Kids and Kubs last year and during the 1967 season hit 15 home runs. Prime qualification for making the team: be 75 years old or older.
CULTURAL NOTE
Now, when a visiting hockey official calls a decision against Cornell's Big Red team, Cornell students register disapproval with a new cheer. It goes like this:
"Elevator, elevator. We got the shaft."
