TIIYI .NG TO CO NVI NC E y<>,n- wife *hat the football season hasn’t yet started may be a lit’Je difficult, but this week end marks the start of the major college and professional games. This is when the games played are for all the marbles. OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE north. Notre Dame. is entering their second season under Ara Parseghian and much is expected of the Irish this season. Alter taking the reigns of a team that had been in quite a slump. Ara re illy put some life in the Notre Dame team again and the winning spirit they have enjoyed for so many yeats once again was present. So was the record. They’ came within 1 133 of a perfect year following a 2-7 season the previous sea-on.

must make up their minds from what little they see, what they lead, and what they hear. Especially tough is this choice when teams are not commonly linked with similar opponents and also if they feature different Myles of ball like many top team* do Some practice ball control, some the wide open game, and some put the utmost of stress on defense. using quick kicks and such conservative efforts to win their games. AUSO RIGHT IN THIS AREA is the greatert conference m the nation, the Big Ten. Many times a Big Ten team put in another league coulJ look like the number one team as moving through a Big Ten title undefeated is like sending a high school team against a college crew. The fierce competition takes its toll on most of the teams as week in and week cut this competition is more than a team can liandle with ease. Any team winning a Big Ten Championship has. to be tough and it has been seen b» fore where as many as four Big Ten teams will end up in the top ten of the nati< n despite their losses. PERDUE IS GIVEN A VERY good chance of winning the title this year After three non-contej er., e games against Miami of Ohio. Notre Dame and Southern Methodist, the Boilermakers have seven straight weeks of Big T< n play In this schedule they meet in order. lowa, Michigan, MiH Igan. Michigan State Illinois. Wweoium. Minnesota and India'a Any team wanting a schedule like this is out of their head, but in the Big Ten you have to meet this kind of competition. Minn* - sola and Northwestern Are the only schools they mbw and that isn’t missing the strongest os you can see. MICHIGAN SHOULD AGAIN 1:71 7*71 Friday K Saturday Sept. 17 - lx Hush! Hush!

be H ugh as should Illinois and lowa is expected to bo strong Woody Hayes is always tough at Ohio State, and you can never count out the Spartans of Michigan State. Picking a Big Ten champ is almost impossible. THE OPENING OF THE NFL is one of the most awaitt d o - currencos of any sports year. In the past few years, football has come to the top as an attracti >n. probably because of several things. Frxittall is getting more common with many high schools now playing fuotba’l that never did before, thus making fans out of some critics of previous years. Also tho fact that the season is only I I games, once a week, still has the tendency to keep it somewhat of a novelty as opposed to baseball where it is an everyday occur* nee for six months. The proof of the pudding is in tile eating and certainly football fans have been eating up the Sunday television of the AFL games for several years. This has been a big stepping stone to the top as an attraction. EVERY ONE OF THE 14 teams will be shooting for the title won by Clevelan 1 last year When you get down to it, some teams axe naturally favored over others, but once action sta ts, everv t< am is a threat until they have suffered several losses. That is anoth* r big point as to the high interest in thu- game. It has been said sot several years now that any team in the NFL can beat another on a given day and if the pre-sea on games mean anything, this ha < already been prove*! this year. L't al* ne when the league play I < gins. FALL AND FOOTBALL GO togeth* r like ham and and nght now it is a big platter of this unbeatable combination setting before every football fan With this week end having many gam- » on TV’ and radio all over the nation, a sports fan can t help but b*» a little anxious for the action to start.
