Welcome High School Guests EDINBORO STAIE vs CALIFORNIA A\^Ve got3*oui'mimber! Vie give your Scot Seniors in Final Stadium Appearance Against Vulcans His 1971 Pioneers who played in the Boardwalk Bowl led Quarterback Dan McHenry will see his final start against the Vulcans where he has been most effective directing the Scots' veer offense. He has also been on target through the air with five touchdown tosses for 586 yards and a 54 percent accuracy figure. Also adding punch to the Scot offense has been flanker Bob Glaser with 11 receptions for 126 yards and one touchdown on the year. Glaser started coming up with clutch performances midway through the campaign to keep the Scots on a direct route to a winning season. Perhaps the biggest void will be along the defensive line where tackles Jeff Shaw and Rick McMahon, along with end Kevin Erickson have been sterling in the trenches. Shaw leads the team in fumble recoveries with four and is currently tied for the lead in tackles with 103 stops. McMahon has a pair of errant pigskins to his credit and is fifth on the tackle charts with 87 hits, while Erickson is next behind him with 63 stops. The Scot coaching staff will also have to set its sights on some outstanding replacements in the secondary where Brad Crawshaw, George Miller and Jim Terry will knock down enemy passes for the last time. Both Crawshaw and Terry have earned reputations as hard hitters, while Miller has numerous times come up with sensational individual efforts. Miller owns three interceptions on the season and has already blocked three field goal and one extra point attempts. A victory over the invading Firegods would insure Edinboro of a runner-up spot in the Pennsylvania Conference's Western Division. ESC is currently 3-2 in the West and owns a 5-4 record overall. California will pin its offensive hopes on sophomore quarterback Rich Groves who has tossed for 687 yards and four scores. His primary receivers are Charlie Harper and Jim Aerie, both of whom are, ironically, his two running backs and not his wide receivers. Harper is the team's top pass catcher with 17 grabs for 277 yards, while Aerie has the leading per game mark in the rushing department with Harper close behind. Standouts for the defensive unit, along with Robey, are middle guard Tom Jackson, the team's leading tackier with 129 stops and seven quarterback sacks. Other top performers are defensive back Jack Durant and linebacker Jeff Zigray. Durant leads the Conference in interceptions with seven aerial thefts and Zigray has picked off three opposition passes. mouth more reasons to cheer. JEFF DELBENE—FB BOB GLASER—WR TODAY'S GAME These candies are on sale in the stadium now 2 Edinboro State will be looking to close out its third straight winning grid season today when they host the Vulcans of California State (Pa.). Coming off a 16-0 loss at Indiana last week, the downstaters have been able to grab only one win in the Pennsylvania Conference's Western Division this year and that was a 10-0 shutout over Lock Haven. The Firegods have several outstanding performers who will invade Sox Harrison Stadium, but as of yet have not been able to fuse together either offensively or defensively. With neither Edinboro nor California headed for any kind of post-season action, most eyes will be on a group of graduating seniors who will be donning their collegiate grid uniforms for the last time. Seeing action for the final time at Edinboro State are defensive back Brad Crawshaw (Franklin), defensive end Kevin Erickson (Jamestown, NY), wide receiver Bob Glaser (Pittsburgh), center Doug Goodman (Sarver), wide receiver Howard Hackley (Canonsburg), tight end Steve Larson (Jamestown, NY), quarterback Dan McHenry (Arnold), defensive tackle Rick McMahon (Stow, O.), defensive back George Miller (Johnstown), guard Lou Provenzano (Arnold), defensive tackle Jeff Shaw (Erie) and strong safety Jim Terry (Kulpmont). In direct contrast with the Scots' even dozen of graduating gridders, California lists only five players who will be gone via the diploma route. Tops among these is pro­ prospect Dave Robey, a 6-5, 220-pound defensive tackle. As far as the record book is concerned, the senior exiting with the most outstanding career will be receiver Howard Hackley who has already inked his name eight times in the ESC record book. He owns Scot records for most yards in a game (190), a season (807), a career (2356), most receptions in a game (9), a season (39), career receptions (123) and most career touchdown passes with a current total of 16. The Canonsburg ace has also tied the mark for most scoring catches with his seven TD's for the year. He can still extend several of the records with any catches in today's game. A trio of veterans will make their last appearance paving the way for Scot running backs in the likes of offensive performers Lou Provenzano, Doug Goodman and Steve Larson. Larson has also made his presence known throughout the year in the receiving department where he has grabbed ten passes for 162 yards and two scores. 1976 RESULTS CALIFORNIA (2-6) CSC 7 CSC 14 CSC 10 CSC 17 CSC 6 CSC 0 CSC 8 CSC 0 Mansfield ......................0 Waynesburg............... 20 Lock Haven....................0 Madison....................... 35 Slippery Rock..............42 Shippensburg..............58 Clarion......................... 24 Indiana..........................16 EDINBORO (5-4) ESC 17 ESC 34 ESC 53 ESC 19 ESC 8 ESC 25 ESC 45 ESC 24 ESC 13 JIM TERRY—SS 3 Fairmont ..................... 21 Cortland........................11 Frostburg......................13 Slippery Rock..............24 Indiana (Pa.).................... 5 Clarion......................... 20 Lock Haven..................15 Shippensburg..............28 C.W.Post..................... 30 TONY'S PIZZA PARLOR & Edinboro Hotel RESTAURANT 113 MEADVILLE STREET Dinners Pizza Sandwiches Daily Specials 11:00 a.m. 'till Midnight—Sun.-Thurs Fri. 8i Sat.

EDINBORO 734-1648 insist that some women don't look upon football as representing chunks of lost weekends watching ones'brothers, boyfriends or husbands hollering and moaning in front of the TV or in the bleachers. There are a few of us who could relate to this scene described by Sports Illus­ trated's Frank Deford in his novel Cut 'N' Run: "And what could she tell them of their father when he bellowed strange noises of joy and anguish from the club cellar and then bolted up­ stairs for another beer, gurgling and disarrayed? . . . 'Why does Daddy act that sometimes?' little jerry asked, ish, child,' Rosalijp said, tousling hair. 'It's only Epotball. When the moon that come^pfter Christmas is full, the evil spirrts will depart from him, and he will be your father again'." . Deford's hero might well have been a friend of mine who met his wife with t flowers and champagne as she re­ turned from the hospital with their first-born. The new father poured a round, .downed a glass, mumbled a few apdjogies to the horror-strickeh grandparents, then rushed out the door to catch a local college game. "I'd had tickets for weeks," he pro­ tests today. If you want to talk surface impres­ sions, you can fill the Orange Bowl with complaining women. But what I've noticed is when women separate the football from their metr, the game continued on 3t It takes a long time to make a good cable knit. We know because we make more cables, in more styies than anyone eise. So, if you appreciate good craftsmanship, as well as a is transformed into a source of plea­ sure, a genuine, bona fide female pastime. I understand the so-called mysteries or fine points of the game, but expertise in single-wing forma­ tions and end runs does not heighten the degree to which I have always en­ joyed football; it has only redefined the enjoying. When I didn't know beans about football, I liked it and was involved in it. It is a sociological phenomenon, for heaven's sake. How can you not be involved? In fact,the more I ruminate, football is one of those marvelous threads that runs through our lives, which time and again we can measure our progress (or lack of it) against, an institution like McDonald's and the Fourth of July. For most American women, football became an integral part of their lives in high school. An activity which theretofore had simply consumed our male counterparts suddenly scooped us in, and this game became the weekly social event. If I am ever in a plane crash in the Andes, 1 will credit my ability to withstand unthinkable cold to my training at high school games. When I was growing up in the Midwest, the fashion was wool bermuda shorts and matching knee socks, very cute and very skimpy on Decem­ ber Friday nights. Often I looked long­ ingly at the ponchos the players wore and wondered why the people around me kept saying, "Those poor guys. I'll bet they're freezing." They had coats. I had a mohair sweater. On one particular night, a cheerleader—one of the seniors— frantically began the chant, "Hold that line!" which many of us in the stands obediently echoed. Then a guy in our midst called the cheerleader's name and shouted, "Hey, dumbell, we got the ball!" It was a humiliation I prom­ ised myself I would never suffer, and when I later became a cheerleader, held true to my vow. At no time in my career did I ever begin a technical cheer. Sticking to the basics like "Go! Fight! Win!" proved most intelligent. Touchdown or 15-yard penalty, no­ body could take issue with "Go! Fight! Win!" In my town, all six high schools kicked off the season with a jamboree. Women’s involvement with the game of football is increasing. six quarters of football, the Northside against the South. Nobody cared who won. The jamboree was for the coaches to try out "unproven" talent and precarious plays, and for the rest of us to pass judgement on the kids from other schools. That my high school had the second worse team in the conference was only slightly irritating to me and my friends. Amazing how we could get so emotionally involved with each set of downs, cry as the time ran out and we trailed 45-6, and then dance at a post­ game sock hop with the very people who had inflicted our pain. Even now I have to believe no one really minded the losses, not even our coach. He kept his job through losing season after losing season, and informed the newspapers each fall that "This is the year we'll take all the marbles." He al­ ways had "some fine boys" on the squad, an "intelligent" quarterback, some "bruising" tackles and a pass de­ fense that needed "a little work." As for the players, if they had been so in­ volved, would they have smiled and waved to us from the sidelines? Men remember specific plays, the superstar halfback who never amounted to anything and where their team finished in the league. Women remember the bonfires, the halftime shows, the cold and whether or not their team lost. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Men have their technical memories; women, their aes­ thetic ones. You don't have to know a referee is calling time out when he puts his hands on his hips to be wrapped up in the excitement of a ball game. And whatever people say about pro football, I think most women would tell you there is never more excite­ ment than in a college game. In a big university or small community college, Saturday afternoon means one thing—a gigantic meeting of friends continued on 7t 3. An Immortal in the History of College Football iby Tobin Spirer If ■IMe had a lopsided grin and a nose permanently—if endearingly—flat­ tened with a baseball bat. When he smiled or scowled, crow's-foot lines stretching away from his eyes would deepen into furrows nearly as wide as the jowls below his chin. It was a heavy, fleshy, finely sensitive face be­ longing to a man who was to be canonized as The Greatest Football Coach—ever. P.T, Barnum would have been proud. Knute K. Rockne—it's pronounced Canute—first appeared in Voss, Nor­ way, March 4, 1888, the son of a car­ riage maker and heir to a bankrupt line of landowners. As with so many other Europeans of this period, Rockne's father pulled up stakes, moving the family and his son to Chicago in 1893. Although Rockne's methods might have been suspect by a few of the heretical unfaithful, no one could argue with his results—more than anyone else he popularized the game of football and made Notre Dame the country's outstanding football institu­ tion. During his 13-year regime (19181931) his teams won 105 games, lost 12 and were tied five times for a .881 percentage—a record no other coach can claim. Although he could legitimately qual­ ify as the best grid tactician of his age, he was the architect of his own fame. Promotion, hyperbole and a tearchoked, husky whisper in the dark confines of a half-time locker room brought us "Win for the Gipper," Stuhidreher, Miller, Crowley and A true immortal, Knute Rockne still Layden posing for pictures set beneath stands as the gamers winningest all-time a blue-grey October sky, a reasonable coach (percentage). 4. forerunner of the modern forward pass, the backfield shift and five un­ beaten Notre Dame teams that were to make college football the greatest spectacle in the land. Rockne's early years can be glossed over. He was your typical all-around athlete, mixing football and baseball with an easy familiarity, doing best in track and field where he ran the halfmile and once set an indoor pole vault record of 12 feet, four inches, not at all bad in 1906. But Rockne's personal athletic career only has a bearing on his future in terms of where it led him—to the then obscure halls of Notre Dame University. Four years as a clerk in the (Chicago Post Office passed between high school and Rockne's entrance at South Bend, years where he earned his col­ lege dollars and played with several Chicago athletic clubs. The real be­ ginning, though, came in 1910 when he began college rooming with Gus Dorias (later of the famous Dorias to Rockne forward pass combination) and tried out for the Notre Dame var­ sity, stuttering through lumpy frosh arfd undistinguished sophomore sea­ sons to earn mention as an AllAmerican possibility after his junior year, and captain of the team his senior. Although Rockne was good, his greatest fame as a player came during his junior season against Army. All through the previous summer Rockne and Dorias had worked together as life guards and table hashers at a Lake Erie resort. Between the two they per­ fected a workable—although beachbred—forward pass used to over­ whelm the Cadets, 35-13, that Fall. As an undergraduate, Rockne evi­ denced a singular aptitude for chemis­ try, parlaying a job as janitor of the chemistry lab into a graduate assistantship under Father Julius Nieuwland, the school's noted research chemist. When he accepted the post, Rockne demanded he be allowed to assist Jesse Harper coach the football team, a move that was to pay off four years later when Harper retired to his cattle ranch in Kansas, recommending Rockne to the head coaching spot.

You may be able to lower fine arts, stamp and coin collection insurance rates if you store the items in bank vaults, home vaults or fire­ proof safes. 3. Go for a bigger hunk of life. Many insurance companies offer dis­ counts for larger policies. So avoid buying a bundle of small policies when one might do. 4. Don’t make the wrong move with moving insurance. Before you buy a special, and often expen­ sive, policy sold by moving compa­ nies, check your homeowners. You may already be covered. policy premiums are too high for the value received. Many would be bet­ ter off with a straight life policy. 7. Be a boating expert. Some companies will give you up to a 10% discount if you complete an approved power-boat handling course. 8. Increase deductibles on your business insurance. You could save up to 18% on your build­ ing insurance premium by carrying a $1,0(X) deductible. 9. Keep an extra set of accounts receivable. If you keep a duplicate set at another location, you could save up to 50% on the accounts re­ ceivable premium. 10. Check into I.R.A. retirement plans. They provide a good way to buy your life insurance through taxdeductible dollars. 11. Don’t get stranded by your auto insurance. Check to see if your comprehensive provides trans­ portation expenses if your car is stolen. You may be able to save yourself some car fare. 12. Go for the big deductibles. 5. Check your life policy be­ fore you fly. If you have adequate life insurance coverage, you won’t have to buy expensive airline trip transit policies. You could save a lot on your premi­ ums if you carry a $200 collision deductible rather than, a $100 de­ ductible—and take a $50 deductible on comprehensive. And any loss over $100 is deductible from your income tax. thing you can to avoid losses to your home. Check for hazards. Install alarms. Buy good locks, and use them. Keep fire department, police and emergency medical aid num­ bers handy. It’s the best way in the world to fight rising insurance costs. 14. Don’t look for bargains in health insurance. A cheap policy just may not be adequate. And this is one place where it’s better to have too much than too little. 15. Buy insurance from an agent who’s not just a company man. A local independent agent, who rep­ resents many companies and sells many different insurance plans, may be able to get you a better deal. Be­ cause independents are free to Sell you what’s best for you. And get you the best value to boot. If you think these tips make sense, see the people who wrote the book.

For a couple of hours, everyone has the same thing in mind. There were few constants in my four years of college, as I moved from sorority pledge to campus radical to cynical job-seeker, but no home game found me anywhere than in my stadium seat. I traded my Villager tweeds for an army jacket and jeans, but I would not have given up my sea­ son ticket for anybody's revolution. As a freshman, just being a part of a crowd of 65,000 was a heady experi­ ence. To get tickets to the game we were required to sit in the card section which did not please all the men, but could not have been better for me. As part of a mass, I learned a few of those elusive nuances of the game. All you had to do was watch the yell leaders. They knew when to say "Hold that lineand by the end of my first sea­ son, so did j. All of us looked forward to touchdowns, not just for their nu­ merical value, but because a TD in­ sured a shower of contraband toilet paper rolls. I still think fondly of those cascading streamers which turned the basest of dorm supplies into a thing of beauty. And the personal triumph of smuggling two or three of them past the guards! That's a difference between men and women. We are blessed and bur­ dened with handbags and, as a result, smuggling has become our special skill. A cool and indifferent air has al­ ways worked well for me. I could get my ticket and student ID out of the same bag that held a half dozen rolls of toilet paper, and no one was the wiser. As I advanced in age, and our seats improved each year, my girlfriends and I took to smuggling in a little pick-me-up now and then. Never fans of mixing or depending on the Coke vendor, whatever we used to ward off the autumn cold, we carted in one bottle. In senior year, my room­ mates and I hit upon cream sherry as our refreshment. As the fraternity men around us juggled thermoses and cups of orange juice, we simply passed our lady's drink back and forth, and grew fantastically content as the afternoon sun disappeared behind the stands. Surely there is no male or female perspective on those lovely Saturday afternoons. The evening was ahead of us, our lives ahead of that, and our heroes were down there toiling away for our emotional entertainment. Time has a way of suspending itself on a col­ lege football Saturday. So too, perhaps, do the differences between the sexes. A thrill is a thrill, after all, and it takes no one but the neophyte to ap­ preciate a long run or an artful pass. Maybe more than ever, I realized that in a scrub game I played one Sunday on my dormitory lawn. It was late April and the first warm day of spring. The entire campus had rushed itself into cutoffs and tee-shirts and several of us had been sunbathing. One of my friends produced a football from her room, and we began to throw it around, finally splitting into sides and scrimmaging. Between the 10 of us, we knew essentially that the ball had to be snapped, thrown, caught and run with. That was about it. I advised my team that I would appear to throw to my roommate, but would really toss to our friend Louise. I took the ball from my center, faked, let fly a six or seven-yard bomb which was miracul­ ously caught and delivered safely be­ tween two saplings, for six. It was one of the finest moments of my life, and somewhere in my exhilaration, I thought, "This must be what it is all about." Did I say men remember the specific plays? 0-. 7.

No wonder it’s America's #1 imported beer. KNUTE ROCKNE proved the appointment, divine inspi­ ration notwithstanding. It's often said that great men go through a starry merger of ability, hard work and luck. Rockne enjoyed all three in abundance. He came on strong from the beginning, utilizing a golden tongue with a stageman's sense of timing and a technician's grasp of the game. His teams in the early years met increasingly tougher competition, winning far more games than they lost and skyrocketing into national prominence following Rockne's happy discovery of All-American George Gipp. The noteworthy Gipp wasn't an AllAmerican in 1916, but a tall freshman in campus clothes punting a football for amusement on a deserted field. One could almost see the gleam in Rockne's eyes when he saw those 70yard kicks. From Rockne's autobiog­ raphy: "What's your name?" asked the coach. "George Gipp," replied the lad. "I come from Calumet." "Played high school football?" Rockne asked. "Nope," Gipp answered. "Don't particularly care for it. Baseball's my dish." Rockne smiled. Gipp was to go on to become Notre Dame's first AllAmerican and the greatest football player in the school's history. He could and frequently did punt a ball 80 yards in the air, throw it 60 yards and single-handedly destroy opposing teams. In 32 college games, Gipp scored 83 touchdowns. Gipp, of course, was the source of one of Rockne's more publicized half­ time gambits. The star died in 1920 of a streptococcic infection of the throat in a decade barren of antibiotics, leaving a deathbed request to Rockne that ". . . when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys—tell them to go in there with all they've got and win one for the Gipper." Down to his last trick eight years later when Army was taking it to Notre Dame at the end of the first half, Rockne reached down with a truly in­ spired half-time show starring the memory of George Gipper and The Last Request. Notre Dame, of course, went on to win. In 1922, two years after Gipp's death, Rockne was to half inspire-half stumble into another pleasant little scene of national prominence. Harry Stuhidreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley and Elmer Layden didn't play as a backfield in their freshmen year. They saw a good deal of action with the first year outfit, but not as a unit and indi­ vidually didn't especially impress Rockne. But in the Fall of 1922 Notre Dame had lost all of its veteran backfield ex­ cept for Paul Castner at fullback and Frank Thomas at QB. Rockne ex­ perimented with new talent and eventually evolved the backfield combination—Stuhidreher at quarter­ back, Layden at fullback and Crowley and Miller at the halfback spots—that became known as the "Four Horse­ men." Averaging only 158 pounds, the de­ ceptive backfield functioned behind a rugged line called the "Seven Mules," taking the 1924 team undefeated and untied through ten games against the country's best. Of Rockne's five un­ beaten teams (1919, 1920, 1924, 1929 and 1930) this one was the most widely heralded, thanks also to Grantland Rice, who undoubtedly did as much for college football with his pen as Rockne did with his Gipper, his for­ ward pass and his backfield shift. Rice, the dean of sportswriters then and posthumously now, put together a classic lead paragraph following the 1924 October game between the Fight­ ing Irish and Army. From the New York Herald-Tribune, Oct. 18, 1924: "Outlined against a blue-gray Octo­ ber sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhidreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. ..." Among Knute Rockne’s traits was a pen­ chant for fiery halftime talks. continued from 4t Somehow Rockne would always carry it off. 1920 gave him Gipp's last year, his second undefeated team and his first so-called national champion­ ship. The Four Horsemen and the Seven Mules gave him his second crown while his third national title was won in 1929 when he was seriously ill with phlebitis. The pressures—coaching, athletic direction, public speaking and his own brilliance—were catching up with Rockne. His fourth national title, his last, came in 1930 and, almost to be expected, he went out in style. Still ill with a potentially fatal bloodclot, Rockne guided his team to an unde­ feated national championship season over the cream of Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Drake, Northwestern, Army and Southern California. He even had time for a final stunt, pulling off another classical psycholog­ ical master stroke by letting everyone believe his team was crippled with the loss of fullback Lafry Mullins to injury. Just before the game he switched Paul (Buck) O'Connor to fullback, fired him up with the "big chance" idea, and sprung him on the unsuspecting Tro­ jans. Southern Cal lost, 27-0. In his coaching career Rockne suf­ fered only 12 defeats, half of them coming in two seasons, four in 1928 and two in 1925. His five victories in '28 still made it a winning season. Of the 11 other years, five were unbeaten while six had only one defeat. Four of the defeats were major upsets: Iowa, 7-10 in 1921; Nebraska, 7-14 and 0-17 in 1923 and 1925, and Carnegie Tech, 0-19 in 1926. He coached a total of 14 All-American players and was voted the No. 1 coach of football's first cen­ tury in 1969, 38 years after his death. Rockne died in 1931, snuffed out in a plane crash. He was a complex man, one who became an orator, an actor, a scientist, a teacher, a humorist, a psy­ chologist, and ajalesman. "Rockne," said Harry Mehre—who played center for him and later coached successfully at Georgia and Mississippi—"sold football to his players with a positive approach, not 'to die gamely,' but to 'fight to live.'

The Man Who Runs The Other Team's Plays by Joe McLaughlin, Houston CHRONICLE c ^^aturday's hero, more than not, is the quarterback of the college foot­ ball team. He is the ONE you read about in the Sunday paper after a big victory. He is the ONE who seems to have the world in his arms, a bevy of girls on each arm, the one everyone looks up to. He is the glamor guy. The winner. After all, isn't he the one who threw three touchdown passes, ran for another and led his team to the big victory? Certainly, the No. 1 quarterback of a college football team often gets the chief acclaim. Rightfully so, in most instances. But what of the quarterback you rarely hear about, the one who toils in anonymity during those intermi­ nable daily workouts? Namely, the No. 3 quarterback—the one who never sees action on game day. Sometimes he's a red shirt who one day will find his place in the sun. More often, he will never read his name in the Sunday paper because he will not play in a game. What makes these invaluable young men tick? Why do they continue the seemingly endless daily grind of football drills? Coaches will tell you the quarter­ back who runs the other team's of­ fense against his team's No. 1 defense often is a person of unusual inner strength, one with strong character and moral fiber. The better qualified a third-string quarterback is, the bet­ ter the overall team defense becomes, as it were. This is because the young man who realizes his position and understands it fully will utilize every skill at his command, ad libbing pos­ sibilities the defense might face on the following Saturday. One such third-unit quarterback says, "If you can grab hold of the group you're with and attain some leadership, the first team will auto­ matically sense this and gain your respect. It's the belief of every player that he should not be here (on the The 3rd string QB usually sees limited game action, but gets his workout in practice third unit) and it's his constant belief as the “enemy leader.” continued on 12t 10.

DiCarlo The handwriting was on the wali. It clearly said that the time had come for a new kind of 6-passenger car. One that would use fuel and space more sparingly yet still provide the kind of room and ride you've found so comfortable and comforting in our popular full-size Chevys of the past. The car is here. If s called The New Chevrolet. More head room The New Chevrolet stands a little taller than last yeafs full-size Chevy, which perhaps explains why it looks so very proud in profile. Inside, there's a little more clear­ ance for heads and hats and hairdos, both in the back seat and up front. A new acoustical ceiling helps keep things nice and quiet. More lea room We've increased the rear seat leg room by an inch in The Sedan (below) and by nearly two inches in The Coupe. It will make a significant difference in riding comfort, especially on trips. The straight-up styling of the car makes it easier to climb into and out of. More trunk room The trunk is truly enormous, more than a cubic foot bigger than last year, with a nice flat floor that makes it easy to arrange things. It's one of many pleasant surprises awaiting you in The New Chevrolet. More efficient The New Chevrolet is, by design, a very lean but very strong automobile, with not a trace of flab anywhere on its beautiful body, chassis or frame. And it pays off at the gas pump. In EPA tests. The New Chevrolet is rated at 22 mpg highway, 17 mpg city with the new standard Six, auto, trans. and 2.73 axle. Remember, EPA figures are estimates. The actual mileage you get will vary depending on the type of driving you do, your driving habits, your car's condition and availabie equip­ ment. (In California, EPA mileage figures are lower.) The New Chevrolet. \Ne made it right for the times without making it wrong for the people. Nbu're going to love it. Now thafe more like it.

Whatever your choice, the American public has been treated to the best of NCAA football televised by ABC Sports which has captured the color and clamor of "the college game" for the past 10 consecutive years. It has been a decade of glitter on the gridiron where all too often that fine line between delirium and despair is drawn by an inch of the sideline chain, a second's tick on the scoreboard clock or an unpredictable bounce of the ball on the goal-post cross-bar. These are but a few of the ingre­ dients which have spiced the college football menu over the past 10 years, and for a sampler of the decade's Top Ten televised titanics, producer Chuck Howard went out on the limb. "There's been a wide variety of truly outstanding games over the years," Howard said, "and coming up with the top 10 hasn't been easy. The games I have selected, however, are particular classics and should stir vivid memories from football fans all over." When it comes to the best of college football, the Emmy Award winning producer literally has seen them all. Here are Howard's "Top Ten:" • Spartan fans have not forgotten. And Irish fans have not forgiven. It all began with the greatest build-up ac­ corded a college football game in modern times. A classic showdown. A heralded epic. A monumental battle. It was No. 1 ranked Notre Dame facing No. 2 ranked Michigan State, both un­ defeated and untied, in what some had called "The Came of the Cen­ tury." An over-flow throng of 80,011 crammed in Spartan Stadium (regular seating capacity: 76,000) and the rau­ cous rooters of that Saturday afternoon, Nov. 19, 1966, sat drained and dehyd^ rated after Notre Dame's Joe Azzaro kicked a 28-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter to tie the game at 10-10. With Irish quarterback Terry Hanratty injured on the sidelines, unknovyn Coley O'Brien was in field command of Ara Parseghian's troops who were battling the Spartans to a fourth period standoff. As the clock wore down, tension rose both on the field and in the stands. Who would get the next break? A penalty ... a fumble recovery ... a pass in­ terception . . . something . . . any­ thing. But my Cod, not a tie! In the final minutes Notre Dame took over first-and-10 on its own 30. Desperation pass? Trick play? Parseghian said NO, and time was running out. Six ground Late of Notre Dame, Ara Parsegian had teams which were malor factors in two of the ten best games teievised over the iast 10 years. THE BEST OF lO by Bonn Bernstein, Media Director, ABC Sports plays later, the final gun sounded leav­ ing emblazoned on the Spartan Stadium scoreboard a 10-10 verdict which became one of the most talked-about and second-guessed games in the history of college foot­ ball. It was the final game of the sea­ son for Duffy Daugherty's Spartans while Ara Parseghian and his Irish went on to beat USC and win the na­ tional title. • Everything was at stake! The national championship. The Big Eight title. And pride between two of the nation's most respected football powers of 1971. Bob Devaney's Nebraska Cornbuskers ranked No. 1 and, spearheaded by jerry Tagge and johnny Rodgers, were going into Norman, Oklahoma to battle Chuck Fairbanks' Sooners, ranked No. 2 and led by jack Mildren and Gregg Pruitt. It was to be a bloodbath, witnessed by 63,385 fanatic fans who packed Owen Field on November 25, 1971. Would you believe that by midway in the final period 59 points had been scored? With 7:05 remaining in the game, Ne­ braska was behind, 31-28, and started to drive from its own 26 yard line. Plowing 74 yards in 12 plays, runningback Jeff Kinney scored the last of his four touchdowns of the day by plunging two yards over left tackle with 1:38 left on the Clock asi the Cornhuskers captured the conference crown and the national champion$hlp, 35-31.

It took place on a raw, gray December 6 afternoon in 1969. College football was celebrating its 100th year and Coach Frank Broyles of Arkansas respectfully acknowledged the Centennial by in­ stalling artifical turf in Razorback Stadium. Both Texas and Arkansas sported 9-0-0 records going into the game and were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. The national champi­ onship and Southwest Conference ti­ tles were on the line. It was another one of those tailor-made titanics as the eyes of the college football world were focused on Fayetteville, Arkansas (pop: 30,000). Ahead 14-0 after three quarters of play, one might conclude that Arkansas was having things its own way. Texas argued to the con­ trary. And quite convincingly. Towards the end of the third period. Royal's roughnecks had started an 80-yard march, interrupted only by the sound of the quarter gun. On the first play of the fourth stanza, quarterback James Street scrambled 42 yards for a touchdown on a broken play. The call was for a pass, but with no receivers in sight. Street picked up some excellent downfield blocking and danced down the right side to make it 14-6. Darrell Royal honored his signal caller by selecting him the man to advance over left tackle and register a crucial twopoint conversion. Against some hefty Arkansas adversaries. Street ac­ complished his mission and the Hogs vyere sweating in Fayetteville. With a little over six minutes remaining in the quarter, Texas had the ball on its own 36 yard line and used over two min­ utes in advancing seven yards to the 43. At that point with a palpitating fourth-and-three situation. Street completed a desperation 44-yard pass to Randy Peschel who enhanced the artistry of the action by making a di­ ving catch at the Arkansas 13 yard line. Two plays later Jim Bertelsen ran two yards over left guard to score and a Longhorn by the name of Happy Feller became quite a happy fella as he booted the extra point to give Texas a 15-14 victory. It was a shootout that indeed lived up to its billing. Texas went on to defeat Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl and Ole Miss tripped Ar­ kansas in the Sugar Bowl. • Outsiders still wonder what John McKay told his football team during The National Championship and the SWC title were on the line when Frank Broyles (above) hosted Texas in the “Big Shoot­ out’’ in 1969. halftime. A quorum of the 90,814 fans sitting in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on the afternoon of Nov. 30, 1974, hoped that the USC coach would deliver an extra-special message. It must have been a dilly! The Trojans, came out with fire in their eyes as they embarked upon one of college foot­ ball's greatest comebacks. Anthony Davjs, who had tallied USC's only touchdown in the first hajf (on a sec­ ond period seven yard pass from QB Pat Haden) ignited the fiery turnabout by taking the opening kickoff of the second half and scooting 100 yards to the dismay of Ara Parseghian and his fighting Irish. Four more third quarter touchdowns were to come: two by Davis on six and four yard scamps and two by receiver John McKay, who col­ lected 18 and 44 yard TD aerials from his old high school battery mate, Hayden. Those 35 points in the third period were the most ever scored in one stanza against the Irish. Adding insult to injury, Shelton Diggs reeled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Hayden and Charlie Phillips raced back a 58-yard interception (one of three he had on the day) for a TD as 14 fourth quarter points went on the board to give USC its biggest win ever over Notre Dame, 55-24. Davis' four touchdowns a record? No sir! "A.D." scored six times against the Irish in 1972 . . . without a halftime sermon by the coach. The Trojans won handily that year, 45-23. 15t Of the following six games on Chuck Howard's Top Ten of the Decade list, three of them were decided by one point; one by two points and two by three points. The games are listed in chronological order: • Texas A&M coach Gene Stallings spoke clearly and authoritatively. He told his kickoff man, All-American linebacker Bill Hobbs, not to kick to Southern Methodist's Jerry Levias. The Aggies had just climaxed a 58-yard, 13-play scoring drive which put them ahead of SMU, 17-13, in college foot­ ball's opening game of the 1967 sea­ son. It was a see-saw battle from the outset at A&M's Kyle Field and with a flimsy four point lead late in the fourth period, Stallings wanted to play it safe. Keep the ball away from the danger­ ous Levias, he ordered. As one might already conjecture, Hobbs sailed the pigskin into Jerry Levias' waiting arms and the flashy Mustang took it from his own 24 to the 42. With regular quarterback Mike Livingston on the sidelines, a pint-sized (5'-6" might be stretching it) signal caller named Inez Perez completed five straight passes (including three for 29, 11 and 12 yards) and it was first-and-10 on the Aggie six yard line with time running out. On second down at the six and four seconds left on the clock, Perez pierced Levias in the end zone and SMU eked out a 20-17 victory. Texas A&M bounced back to win six league games, collect the Southwest Confer­ ence championship and defeat Ala­ bama in the Cotton Bowl. SMU, on the other hand, lost its next seven straight games and finished the 1967 season with a dismal 3-7 mark. continued on 18t Heisman Trophy Winner Gary Behan of UCLA was outdueled by O. J. and com­ pany in 1967. AND OTHER TURFS by Del Black, Kansas City STAR ■ wMlod sod, the rug, the carpet. Most major college gridirons are wallto-wall artificial turf. Groundskeepers who shook their heads in wonderment as the carpet was installed often curse the greenthatched surface and harken to the "good old days" when they could negotiate a lawn mower instead of a vacuum cleaner and replace a divot rather than wield a brush to remove stains. But it was these same custodians of the turf who before the late '60s cringed when it rained on game days, fought with coaches who demanded to practice when they wanted to wa­ ter, and despised every band director and stomping musician — it always rained on Band Day—who dared prac­ tice and/or perform on the precious blades of turf. The Saturday afternoon quagmire has become surfing on the turf for football players. Certainly, photo­ 16. graphers are unable to capture the futility of mud-caked combatants, but fans who once delighted in seeing mudhole tackling by unidentifiable participants can get just as much of a kick from a sliding pursuer of a skid­ ding football. From the press box, writers and sportscasters don't have to guess who is carrying the ball, who made the tackle, or from what yard-line the ac­ tion is taking place. Most coaches will agree that artifi­ cial turf is the backdrop for a better game. The quick and swift benefit. The slow and plodding look quicker and swifter, until overmatched and outmanned. And that becomes a coaching reality on any surface and in any weather. Mod-sod madness began with the construction of the Astrodome in Houston, when officials realized natu­ ral grass wouldn't grow inside a build­ ing. To fit the need, AstroTurf was in­ vented. And competition for other playing fields—most of them outdoors—saw the development and installation of artificial playing surfaces called Tartan and Poly-Turf. Possibly, for a better reason than any, installation of artificial turf be­ came a status symbol, a ploy in recruit­ ing. AstroTurf has a grassy-type, blade­ like texture while the other two re­ semble carpet. Most groundskeepers contend that artificial turf is more difficult to main­ tain. Instead of spending an hour to mow the grass field, two hours is re­ quired to do a proper job of vacuum­ ing the sod. But as one groundskeeper noted, he doesn't have to sweep as often as he did mow. "The biggest problem is getting burns off," one tender of the turf said. "Sometimes when players are tackled, they put burns six feet long in the turf with their shoes, which fuse the blades together. In other words, the tips melt together, and you have to use a steel comb to break them loose." Gum, especially early in the Fall, is a sticky challenge for groundskeepers. Cigarette burns and stains instigated by chewing tobacco are also aggravat­ ing and time-consuming to keepers of the green. "Making the conversion from real grass to artificial surface definitely be­ comes a need in stadiums that are multi-purpose facilities," another stadium manager said. "Taxpayers have helped most of these and they should be able to enjoy them. Look at the possibilities these facilities offer—rock concerts, graduations, in­ tramurals, state-wide activities of interest, and even religious and politi­ cal gatherings. "To stage about anything other than football, you might have to protect the surface from damage by putting down plyboard or canvas. Such protective measures will cost as much as $10,000 or more. "Also, what if you have a football game in the rain or after a rain on a true-grass field in your season opener?

But as far as 90,772 Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum fans were concerned, the talented Trojan running back should have been handed the coveted award immediately after the USC-UCLA bash of Nov. 18, 1967. And if the trophy was to be given on that day, a piece of it should have gone to placekicker Rikki Aldridge. Simpson's 64-yard TD romp with less than five minutes remaining in the 37th annual cross-city classic tied the game at 20-20, and it was Al­ dridge who punctuated the victory. O. J. rushed for 177 yards in 30 carries and ironically, it was UCLA quarter­ back Gary Beban who was awarded college football's most treasured prize. Beban, receiver George Farmer and rusher Greg Jones fought gallantly against the Trojans, but Sifmpson, Steve Sogge, Earl McCullouch and Outland Trophy winner Ron Vary ulti­ mately proved to be a point better. The Rose Bowl was at stake and John McKay's Trojans went on to defeat In­ diana while the following week the down-trodden Bruins of Tommy Prothro lost to Syracuse. (Tying this game on Chuck Howard's poll was the 1969 USC-UCLA game, won by the Trojans, 14-12, on a last minute pass from Jimmy Jones to Sam Dickerson good for 32-yards. UCLA failed on both two-point conversion attempts. The Bruins' signal caller was Dennis Dummit. Both teams went into the game undefeated and with one tie apiece. USC went on to defeat Michi­ gan in the Rose Bowl.) • Over 1,000 yards in total offense went into tfv^ books after Ole Miss and Alabamcl went after each other in Birmingham's Legion Field on the night of October 4, 1969. Between both teams, there were 81 passes thrown and only one intercepted. Mis­ sissippi's Archie Manning threw 52 of those passes and completed 33 for 436 yards and two scores. It wasn't enough. Scott Hunter of Alabama hit on 22 of 29 passes for 300 yards and one touchdown. It was enough. In one of the wildest nip-and-tuck offen­ sive shows of all-time. Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide prevailed, 33-32. Ole Miss led, 26-21, early in the fourth quarter. 'Bama came back with a 67yard drive and took a one point lead, 27-26. John Vaught's Rebels retaliated with a 64-yard march in three plays and resumed the lead, 32-27. All of this happened in eight minutes. Not to be continued on 22t c ^l^ollege football's most lasting con­ tribution to American culture could be epicurean. Twenty-five centuries from now, as social scientists attempt to unravel the significance of our era, their research may show it was some time in the 20th century that Ameri­ cans developed the quaint tribal cus­ tom ... tailgating. Man, his mate and groups of friends, a scholarly paper may reveal, would unwind every seventh day in the autumn of the year by packing very delicious picnic meals, stowing them in the back of their elongated road vehicles, then journeying to the parking areas of great playing fields. There they would encamp, spread out the food on a fold-down type of door (called the tail gate) at the rear of their road vehicle, and picnic in the lovely autumn sun. Later they would join thousands of others in seats built around the playing field, watching students from opposing universities hurdle themselves at one another in some sort of rowdy game. The scholarly study of 25 centuries hence will go on to hypothesize that while the rowdy game has long since been forgotten, the quaint tailgating custom was the actual origin of such modern diversions as lunargating (run­ ning the old space ship up to the moon for a day of picnicking) and Marsgating (a week long camp out on Mars). However, we 20th century earth­ lings must still be concerned with something good to eat at our next tailgate party. So here are some nifty portable ideas — the first two from The R. T.

You can't rebuild it then. You have to wait until the next spring. Then you're fighting spring practice. "Really, you never catch up. And in trying to catch up you pour in the money. "For those with real grass fields, there is always the tendency of expect­ ing too much from it, but giving it too little. I'd say this is the case most of the time. I know that most schools will spend money to supply equipment and adequate personnel to maintain artificial-turf fields, but when they were asked to do the same for the real grass, they'd back down and tell the groundskeeper to do the best with what he had. "I've seen situations where a ton of fertilizer, a load of sod or several bags of grass seed would have done the job, but funds or co-operation were refused. "A groundskeeper could get fired if his field didn't meet the approval of a college president or athletic director, but with the artificial turf he can sur­ vive while the installation people take the blame and a guarantee from the company goes on the line." Stadium expansion often lends itself to the installation of artificial turf be­ cause fields can be lowered and addi­ tional prime-rate seating can be in­ stalled at field levels that wouldn't be possible because of drainage and con­ struction difficulties surrounding natu­ ral grass. Rain and sometimes snow will soak the artificial turf, but because football fields have crowns, drainage is seldom a problem. For stadiums with squeegee equipment, the roll-off of moisture can be quickened and fewer problems are realized as far as players' footing and traction. Probably the loudest screams of an­ guish from the blanketing of turf across the nation's collegiate gridiro.ns have come from doctors and trainers, who must treat injuries they believe are an upshoot of artificial sur­ faces. Studies and surveys have substan­ tiated their claims, and there have been few dissenters that playing on natural grass would be better and, yes, the artificial surface leaves something to be desired when it comes to living with injury, especially of the knee and ankle variety. To meet the challenge, medical and Artificial turf is preferred particularly by schools which frequently experience inclement weather conditions. safety personnel have made sugges­ tions for change in cleats, shoes and even tackling and blocking rules. Because the day-to-day practice grind can take its toll on player's feet and legs, many schools have built nat­ ural grass practice fields. Coaches have discovered that steady work on the mod sod can take the spring from an athlete's legs, and a couple ses­ sions on natural grass can be a possi­ ble game-saving move. Also, not all opponents have artifi­ cial playing surfaces, and when the schedule dictates such an encounter, the natural grass practice field can be a strategic maneuver. Despite the predictions of a dooms­ day for the artificial turf and its drawbacks—injuries, heat, early fault and lack of perfection in materials and installation—most of the playing sur­ faces now carpeted will remain that way. "I don't care what they say and pre­ dict," one noted groundskeeper of­ fers, "they're here to stay. There will always be injuries in football, just as weather will not always be ideal to play in. "I know of coaches who believed wet, muddy fields were the cause of the bulk of their injuries. Nobody was standing up and shouting about doing away with natural grass fields, were they? "Really, I'd like to see more compe­ tition among manufacturers of the stuff (artificial turf). I believe some of the trouble with it is that while putting in all these fields, the companies were just finding out how to do it and their scientists and laboratory people were just beginning to touch on a product that they, if given time and research, could make better and better. "I once told a company representa­ tive that he was in a great business— one that his outfit was getting a half­ million dollars to experiment with a product. "You can argue that maybe the arti­ ficial turf was hurried along and came at the wrong time, just look at how many more good grasses and chemi­ cals to make soil and grass better have been developed over the last two or three years." The debate goes on. So does the game. # 21. continued from I8t Best of 10 Years denied, the Tide rolled again, going 80 yards in 11 plays as Hunter hit George Ranager with a 14-yard TD strike on fourth-and-10. Ranager and teammate David Bailey, also a receiver (who caught nine passes for 115 yards) came from Meridian, Mississippi. It was ob­ vious that John Vaught wasn't at the border when the Bear slipped these two prizes across the state line. • At 30 years of age, Tennessee's Bill Battle had quickly established himesif as one of college football's brightest young coaches. His 1971 confrontation with Auburn's Shug Jordan, one of the most distinguished veterans of the game, provided a unique contrast when the Tigers and Vols went to war in Neyland Stadium on Sept. 25. Ten­ nessee placekicker George Hunt had put the Vols in front of Auburn, 9-3, on field goals of 45, 30 and 50 yards. Over six minutes remained in the game when Tennessee fumbled at the Tiger 14 yard line after driving from its own 20. Auburn's Pat Sullivan, the Heisman Trophy Winner, launched an 86-yard drive almost entirely through the air, hitting on five key passes, in­ cluding two to All-American Terry Beasley who recharged his battery after being soundly shaken by a Bobby Majors tackle in the second quarter. Harry Unger scored on a five yard running play with 2:44 left in the game and placekicker Gardner Jett split the uprights to give Auburn a 10-9 triumph. Bill Battle grew a little older that day, but regrouped his Vols as he piloted them to a 10-2 season and a 14-13 win over Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl. Auburn (9-2-0) lost to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, 40-22. This game was equivocated by Chuck Howard to the TennesseeGeorgia 17-17 deadlock played in Ney­ land Stadium in 1968. Down 17-9 with the clock running out, Tennessefe quarterback Bubba Wyche hit Gary Kreis on a fourth-and-21 situation on the final play of the game. Wyche then fired to tight end Ken DeLong for the tying two-point conversion.) • The final score was not officially rec­ orded until 40 minutes after the game. It took that long for Big Ten Commis­ sioner Wayne Duke to reach referee Gene Calhoun and obtain the verdict. In one of the most chaotic, confusing and controversial clashes ever, Michi­ gan State emerged a 16-13 winner over Ohio State in a game played at East Lansing's Spartan Stadium on Nov. 9, 1974. With five minutes to go, Michi- 22, Archie Griffin ran weii against the Woiverines in 1974, but the hero of the game was piacekicker Tom Kiaban.

A two-point conversion attempt failed. Two minutes later, MSU had the ball back and Levi Jackson raced 88 yards to score. Hans Nielsen con­ verted and the underdog Spartans moved into a 16-13 lead. When Ohio State took over, Cornelius Green at­ tempted a pass on first down and al­ though a Spartan linebacker appeared to have intercepted, an official said no, the ball was trapped. Green led the Buckeyes from their own 29 to a first-and-IO at the Michigan State 11 with a minute to go. On first down, Archie Griffin goes up the middle for five.

Both teams claimed victory and there was pandemonium among the 78,533 witnesses in Spartan Stadium. Commissioner Duke made his way from the press box to the field and finally to the officials' dressing room where referee Calhoun put the record straight once and for all: Michigan State was the winner, 16-13. Game films clearly indicate that Mr. Calhoun signaled time had ruh out be­ fore the start of the play, but for 40 minutes afterwards, the teams in­ volved and the college football world were kept in the dark. • There were all-Americans all over the field when Michigan and Ohio State played for the 71st time in Co­ lumbus on Nov. 23, 1974. The Buck­ eyes had eight, including such stal­ warts as Archie Griffin, Neal Colzie and Pete Cusick. Michigan didn't have to take a back seat either with the likes of such defensive demons as Don Dufek, Dave Brown and Tim Davis. But it was the little-known walkon by the name of Tom Kiaban who stole the headlines that day. The unheralded OSU placekicker booted four field goals, the last pne a monumental 43yarder to give^the Buckeyes a 12-10 vic­ tory and their third straight trip to the Rose Bowl. Kiaban had kicked three in the second quarter (47, 25 and 43 yards) and his four-for-the-day set an OSU record. Klaban's performance may have not been more than a game statistic had Michigan's Tom Lantry connected on a 3-yard attempt on a second-and-four situation with 16 sec­ onds remaining in the game. Lantry had tried earlier in the quarter on a 57-yard effort, but it fell short. He had put three points on the board (a 47yarder) shortly after Denny Franklin had thrown a 42-yard TD pass to Gil Chapman in Michigan's only scoring output during the first quarter. But it was Kiaban who emerged as the game's hero and for his efforts.
