sports writers around the country pick Notre Dame to top collegiate field again. Other teams g.lining very fine support arc Michigan State, Alabama. T- nm ssee. UCLA and Southern (’ahfornia. There are others that could surprise th' experts and niov. well up in th. ratings, but basically these six have gained most of the support. This of rour -c. always brings to conver- - ite n. the year in and year out arguement of who is tops an 1 just how th< se divisions artmade.

sever al leading Indep. ndi nt s, this coiil 1 be done very easily. A 16 team playoff would take onlx four weeks, tin- ending football for the two finalists in the grind earlier than the present bowl games. The main opposition L post season games of an\- nature is that it keeps the boys out ot classes longer, and a plavoff of even 16 teams would have half of the schools, the first round losers, finished just <ne week later. This wouldn't add much more burden < n the time missed from studies en a full time basis. IT DOES SEEM THAT IN the future, sentiment for such as this will push stronger- consideration of such a plan. Nothing settles an arguement like a show own such as this. Also, what TV network pay woul n t pay quite a bun lie to h ive the i xclusive rights to such a plaxoff? Mom y from TV has d< n ■ much 'or collegiate atlib tl- '.; in I), past few years an 1 the mtwr is are anxi< us t . p n 1 la" e : mounts tn an.thing that will p .11 a TV audi. ncc.

Michigan State does rate more solid support than th.- other schools, but Michigan. Purdue. Ohio State and even Minnesota have to rate a lot of support. Th'- Spartans will have a lot of new faces m their lineup, but you can bet it will be boys who can get the job d< ne. Even though they have a lot of their offensive team returning. something like eight members of the strong defensive unit of the past couple of years have since left the scene, giving ♦ hem several openings for young talent. OHIO STATE. TRADITIO.Nally a power running team under coach Woody Hayes, look to be a wide < pen passing team this year. They are always big and power football is Hayes middl ■ name. Mix this in with a go<d passing attack and you might just have a real strong < n-w. Michigan has the nucleou- of a fine team back and appear- to pose a v. i y strong threat forth. title Pm dm- has manx back from their Rose Bowl winning team but th< first probbm i.- to find a suitahl replacement for Bob Gri. se at quarterback.

hasn't every team in the NFL been looking for Green Bay for f'.-i i I X' ns too, and darn few can la .it them, THE PRO ACTION HAS caused some surprises early, heade I by the Detroit and Green Bax- tic nt 17 and 17 Sunday. Detroit’s new head coach, Joe Schmidt, probably will receive some criticism from some fan; for- his । nservative approach in the sec, nd half, but the Lions did salvage a tie and had it not be< n for a couple of very fine plays b\ the Packers, they would have won the game with this approach. THE REARS. AFTER Giving up a field goal, looked like they wind I run the Pitt .burgh Steelers right off the field, gel ting two touchdowns before a quartet track even touched the* ball. However, things winked in reverse, and after a nice 13-3 had early in the game, ended up on the hoit end of a 41-13 score. New Orleans put on a fine showing in their tirst league game against the very rough and tough Los Angeles Rams. This is en couraging as expansion teams often leave a little to be desired However, this team an I Atlanta list year, both seemed to plan well in advance of th«* season and are coming very nicely. The Falcons did give Baltimore .all they wanted before going down in defeat.

FOOTBALL SEASON IS ALways a thrilling season and now that it is here, the many sports fans arc glad. However, don’t give up on that very interesting and fine American League pennant race yet. it might just go to the final day of the season or beyond. The way these teams have changed back and forth, anything can an I probably will happen. Service Notes REDSTONE ARSENAL. ALA. (AHTNC) - Private First Class Joseph E.
