The Clovers kept a comfortable lead throughout the early part of the first period but Cascade was able to tie the game at 17-17 with two seconds left in the stanza. Quick scoring, precision passing, especially by Walton, pulled the Clovers out of their second period slump and out in front 36-30 at halftime. During the third period the Cadets could not effectually use any defense against the Clovers versatile defense-of-

NO REPLACEMENTS FOR ANYTHING BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A tennis-playing Romanian went into the Club Sports store here and asked for strings to put in his racket. He was told that to get strings he would have to buy a racket. He wrote to the government newspaper Romania libera (Free Romania) complaining and said the only solution he could think of was to buy nylon fishing line to string his racket with. “Can you tell me where I can get fishing line without having to buy a fishing rod?" he asked the paper.

Cloverdale, using both a man to man and a zone defense, also capitalized on Cascades inability to handle the ball and shoot well, thus cutting their scoring to 7 points, while the Clovers pumped in 18, setting the score at 54-37. In the final period, the Cadets continued their “cold spell,” being unable to contain the Clovers, who pushed out, despite Cascades attempt to halt them by using a full-

court press. The game ended ting the third period lead of with the Cadets adding a few 17 points to 15 points at the fimore points to their total, cut- nal score, 67-52.

Florida To Play In Tangerine Bowl

ORLANDO Fla.(AP)—The University of Florida has been invited to play in the Tangerine Bowl against Miami of Ohio. Tangerine Bowl officials extended the invitation Monday night and Florida players were scheduled to vote Wednesday on whether to accept. “The University of Miami of Ohio is a truly outstanding team and I hope our squad will accept,” Gator Coach Doug

Dickey said after being informed of the invitation. Tangerine Bowl officials also voted Monday to move the Dec. 22 game from Orlando to the University of Florida stadium in Gainesville. Florida officials have agreed to the move, which also must be approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association's special events committee.

Notre Dome Clears Bench In 48-15 Win

SOUTH BEND Ind. (AP)— Sixty-seven Notre Dame football players still relished their Thanksgiving treat today, after Irish Coach Ara Parseghian used everything on the sidelines except the line markers and the bench in Thursday’s 48-15 victory over Air Force. Fifth-ranked Notre Dame, playing its first game since accepting a bid to meet No. 2 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl on

New Year’s Eve, nearly blew' the Falcons out of Notre Dame Stadium in the nationally televised contest. The Irish took advantage of numerous Air Force mistakes and put the game away early. Air Force Coach Ben Martin shook his head in wonder and said, “Notre Dame is just plain good and strong.” The Irish, with the aid of three Air Force fumbles.

jumped to a 28-0 lead alter one quarter, and Martin later said. “They are much too powerful to give them a 28-point handicap. I thought they would be awfully good, but we never gave ourselves a chance.” Notre Dame raised its season record to 9-0 and moved within two games of its first perfect season since Frank Leahy’s 1949 national championship squad.

Crimson Tide Drowns LSU, 21-7

BATON ROUGE La.(AP>— Alabama Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant was tired but jubilant after his Crimson Tide defeated seventh-ranked Louisiana State 21-7, grabbing the Southeastern Conference crown along the way. “We’re awfully happy to be getting out of here with this one,” said an exhausted Bryant. Quarterback Gary Rutledge led second-ranked ’Bama to the 500th victory of its football history, accounting for three touchdowns.

Rutledge ran 19 yards for the first Tide score in the second quarter, threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to George Pugh later that period, and hurled a touchdown pass to Wayne Wheeler, good for 77 yards, in the third quarter. A master at the Wishbone attack, Rutledge had to resort to his passing because the vaunted Alabama running game was held in check by LSU’s defense. LSU, running from the I-for-mation, piled up 21 first downs

compared with 11 for Alabama, which only gained 191 yards rushing. LSU netted 212 yards on the ground, 143 of them coming from tailback Brad Davis who scored the only Tiger touchdown with a 40 yard run in the final period. Alabama's victory raised the possibility of a battle between the unbeatens in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year's Eve. The Tide goes against Auburn next week, while Notre Dame, which defeated Air Force earlier in the day, ends its season next week against Miami before heading for the Sugar Bow l. It was Alabama's 10th consecutive victory, and snapped LSU’s 15-game home winning streak, leaving the Tigers 9-1 to close the season next week against arch-rival Tulane. LSU meets undefeated Penn State New Year’s night in the Orange Bowl.

Air Force closed its season with a 6-4 mark. I he Irish halted a Falcon four-game winning string. “Once again, 1 was very pleased with our defense,” said Parseghian. “Both Ross Browner and Jim Stock (who are defensive ends) forced early fumbles to set up touchdowns for us.” “Browner and Luther Bradley (who intercepted his sixth pass of the season) have been exceptional freshmen and have been better than 1 had ever anticipated at the beginning of the year. These two boys appear to have been made for their respective positions,” Parseghian said. The Irish completely dominated the game, although appearing Hat during much of the second and third periods. They rolled for 414 yards rushing and a total offense of 527 yards. Air Force, which managed only 114 rushing yards — 52 in the second half — did dent Notre Dame for 202 yards passing. Senior Rich Haynie hit 14 of 36 passing attempts against Notre Dame, including seven to flanker Frank Murphv. Parseghian, asked how this Irish team compared with others in his nine previous seasons at the South Bend school, said, “This team has as fine a team leadership and team unity as I have coached. They have a willingness to sacrifice to achieve a team goal (the nationaly championship).” The Irish close out their regular season at Miami, Fla.. Dec. 1.
