THIS YEAR the fairly solid choice of the pre-season selectors seems to be Tennessee, and with plenty of logic. The Vols have a! reasonable facsimile of the same| team that licked Texas in the Cot-| ton Bowl last New Year. That,| and. their earlier victory over Ken-| tucky, won the national No. 1] ranking for them. Even 80, Gen. Bob Neyland's| forces may need more than the]

Brownsburg Tops | Pike, 14-13 |

Pike Township lost a heart-| breaker last night. Their last minute rally was just one inch short of a touchdown and a 14-13 victory went to Brownsburg. It] was the Red Devils third straight, high school football loss. A 70-yard scoring sprint by, Dean Templin and a -30-yard| touchdown pass, Jack Kidwell to! Gary Christian, gave Pike a 13-7

lead at the three-quarter mark. p

The Bulldogs scored in the first period on George Robinson's 10-! yard drive through the middle of} the line. They sewed up the game in the fourth on Red Mackell's| run around end.

With only a minute léft, Kidwell hit the line to the 6. Temp-

held, and- he was stopped one inch short of the goal.

THUS, for example, when a team that rates 100.0 is scheduled to meat one that rates 80.0, it can be said that the 100.0 team has been 20 points stronger, per game, against comparable opposition.

As another example, here are average ratings earned over the last 10 years by the 25 leading teams. Also shown are last year’s final ranking numbers for each team, along with our guess as to their approximate finishing position this year,
