IT HAPPENED! PROBABLY th :c air many who dint believe it out it hoppeneu The Anuri- » in Football league has moved into promm.inee by defeating the National Football League in the Super Bow) with New York making Baltimore look like a ted pat<y. It had to happen, hut many figured it was still several vears aw ax However . Suncux proved a lot of things to a lot of people. HAVING BEEN A NATIONaI lootball league fan for years, it is quite a disappointment in s n e respects, but pro! ibly go< I for (botball in main others However, <>ne game o«.e n t make a conclusive fact that the AEL is superior. It is still to be pruvm thi' the AEL could compete we<k in and week out with the NEL. MANY SAID BALTIMORE wis perhaps the greatest team evt-r in the NEL This is quite a strong statement and their appearance in the Super Bowl didn’t put the more open teams in the game. It pat a uam that wi< led by their ueten e all year long. Baltimore set a reewra for fewest points -C'rtj against, they wt re paced by a defense that game in and game out pul ed them out of holes and gave the offense the baH time and time again whc.e they could move in for scores. However, on thi- given day their defen-e was beaten and beaten bn fly by the Jets. Actually the Jet.- didn t set any ofumivi n.uks. but when five turnover- vs the b.ll are given any team it is a pretty good sign they will win a bill game. ( THE DEFENSE STOPPED the Jets time and time agum as the fact that only one tou< hdown w - scored will verify. However, getting the ball when and where , thex aid gave the Jet.- one lift a.ter another an I g ive Baltimore one heartbreak after another. Baltimore has proven to be under Don Shula, at« im th it cannot win the big game and Sunday was another i use The only big game they have won under Shula wa- the bittie two , wt k- ago with Cleveland. Other , than that, one afte another chance to win went down the ( u. on on that "Big Game" they m ir iged to lose. ( THIS GAME WILL BE DlS-cti-re-d one way and anotner lor ; nr ny months, but certainly will put a different prospective on the two leagues. It may result in the tw • becoming <ne in another year or it could -till be deci ;ed to t ike advantage of thiextra imentative of the Super p. •„! wh h Mimed doomed if the NFL representative w<>n

easily again. This certainly was not the case Sunday. IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY h>ng time ago when footbill started on TV for the 1968 season old probably Art Buchwald summed it up best In an editorial last week. The 196 h football season isn’t over yet. but it is for sure by this time we are hi l ling towards the end. It was published this yt ir that n > le>s than 51 post- season Bowl games o one kind ur another were played. This seems to be over doing it a little, but i. r the demand is then, the game will be playt 1. WITH FOOTBALL STILL IN the new < it i bard ti b< li r vc that the basketball season is ovc half over. Colleges are in the meat of their schedule while the high schools aren't fir from the sectionals that eventually determine the state champ-. All this and yet hardly any headlines of basketball can crowd into the sp »rt- pages due to the other sp u ts. IN OUR AREA. ONE VERY big uni exciting event is about to t ike place . . . that lieing the annual Bi-County tourney of teams of St. Joseph and Marshall countie--. This wa staited after reorga nizati n had trimmed the teams down one by one until >• was neces ß ary to do this to have ermugh for a tourney. In the previous meets, it his always supplied the fans with some r» a! good b ill. This year promises to be no exception. No one t< am stands head an 1 shoulders above the otaers -o it h.< k- like bask* tb’l! !;.a are in so- an ther good one. THE DRAWINGS FOR THIS will be held Saturday at the South Bind Tribune. After -tuJxin the d twin we will go into detail about this one next week in the Spirts Corner. However, al! fans should not hesitate and get the tickets now .i • a tourney that will have much appeal to fan- of the p irti< ipatin • schools. Another thing that ,e- it enl-xaole is the way the officials at LaVille, headed by principal Gaylord T< 11. assistant pnncipd. Robert Long, and athletic directo-. Dale Cox handle this tournament They are to be congratulated on their work of past years ond another such enp.xable t< umey can be expected this year. SELF-RELIANCE The only min who really strikes it lucky is the one who strikes out fx/r himself. Money refuses to talk Uday it ju-t goes without saying.
