1 to Nov. 1. The number of games would be cut 'from 18 to 16, plus one invitational tournament. The other proposal would leave rules unchanged except for football playing schools. These would be cut to a 16-game season starting Dec.

1. Any change adopted by the council would take effect no sooner than 1962, since this year's schedules are generally complete. LATER DURING the teacher convention period, the annual meeting of the entire I. H. S.

B. A. Larson said he was notified by Marv Jensen, Fullmer's manager, and James Deskin, chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, of the contract signing. Fullmer will receive 35 per cent of the gate receipts and 40 per cent of the television receipts, Larson said.

No return match is included in the contract. GRANT Rebel Yell Echoes On Ole Miss Campus BT JAMES SAGGUS JACKSON, Oct. do we have to do to prove we're No. Coach John Vaught's undefeated and untied football team, disappointed in its drop to second in the Associated Press national rankings this week, will meet Tulane here Saturay night. The rebel goal of a decisive victory to boost the team back to the top has Tulane uneasy.

More than 1,000 cheering Ole Miss emphasized their feelings Tuesday night by hanging and burning the A. P. in effigy, but it was wasted on an already-impressed Tulane. Tulane coach Andy Pilney said "Ole Miss is the finest team in the south and probably in the nation. There defense has given up only 13 points, and quarterback Doug Elmore has stepped into All-America Jake Gibbs' place like he'd been there all his life.

Then- blocking and tack- Stale Students Will Go to Post Today In Bunion Derby Members of Theta Chi Fraternity will begin the 130-mile walk to Muncie at noon today to return a football to the Ball State campus with high hopes of arriving prior to the Indiana State-Ball State gridiron clash Saturday afternoon. The game is the annual homecoming game for the Cardinals and students from both schools are up to their old antics once again. The rivalry between the two schools is one of the strongest in the Indiana Collegeiate Conference and dates back to 1924. THE GAME also is known as the annual "Victory Ball" game with the winner of the contest being awarded the bronze bell for one year. The Sycamores have had possession for the last two years.

Indiana State students have kept the ball well guarded this year to prevent a theft of the prized trophy by Ball State adventurers. Last weekend five members of Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity at Ball State walked to the Indiana State campus carrying their prized house football and challenged Sycamore students to return the ball by the same method. THETA CHI Fraternity accepted the challenge and will begin its march at noon today from the college Student Union Building. Members of the group will walk in shifts and hope to arrive in Indianapolis by 10 o'clock Friday morning. Indiana State will be in search of its first victory of the season when meeting the Cardinals.

The Sycamores have dominated the statistic columns this season, but fumbles, intercepted passes, and miscues, have kept Indiana State out of the winner's side of the score column.

PILNETS SENTIMENTS are shared by Rebel fans, who are vexed by the drop in the A. P. rankings despite a 47 to 7 victory over a good Houston team last weekend.

Tulane's unimpressive (1-3) record hides a solid team which has played in tough luck. The Green- ies lost to Stanford, Alabama and Florida before beating Virginia Tech, 27 to 14, last Saturday. The defense-minded team has held its four opponents to only 232 yards per game despite a losing record. Ole Miss will put Tulane's defenses to their sternest test. The Rebels bank on an explosive attack which is dangerous from anywhere on the field.

It features the expert passing of three quarterbacks, power running at fullback led by Billy Ray Adams, and a covey of halfbacks with speed and elusiveness who are good runners and prime pass receivers. THE 17 OLE Miss touchdowns in four games have come from an average of 25.8 yards out. Vaught has respect for Tulane teams, well remembering how a scrappy green wave squad upended his unbeaten and heavily favored Ole Miss team, 10 to 3, in 1956. "They have a good defensive team," Vaught said, "and they'll be alert. We can't make-some of the mistakes we have made in the past." Rebel success this season has come from good depth and balanced talent.

Three teams have alternated successfully and all three have punch. Elmore is the top backfield star with 23 pass completions in 31 attempts for 331 yards, and 228 yards rushing on 38 efforts. JUNIOR QUARTERBACK Glynn Griffing has completed 11 of 18 for 251 yards and soph Perry Lee Dunn, who runs like a fullback, has connected on 7 of 14 for 191 yards. Adams leads rushers with 222 yards on 38 tries and his hard running keeps the defense from concentrating against aerials. The Ole Miss offense racked up 116 points against Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida State and Houston, while allowing them only one touchdown, two field goals and one conversion.

Tulane, which has shown an erratic offense, features the running of halfback Gordon Rush and the quarterbacking of Ted Miller. Tulane's main hope, however, lies in containing the terrific Mississippi the Rebs are banking on to preserve their perfect record, atone for their 1956 loss to Tulane and regain No. 1 ranking. YANKS CALL GIBBS FROM FARM CLUB NEW YORK, Oct. New York Yankees added Jake Gibbs, Mississippi's 1960 All- America quarterback and eight others to their roster and sent five players to the minors today.

First baseman Bob Hale and pitchers Jim Bronstad, Gerald Heintz and Billy Short were sold to Richmond and Duke Maas, veteran right-hander, was sent outright to Amarillo.

CALIFORNIA 13, Southern California 8: The victory over Washington gave the Golden Bears the confidence they needed. Penn State 15, Syracuse 14: Was Penn State looking over Army's head to this game last week? Alabama 7, Tennessee 0: A vote for Bear Bryant in this Dixie bone-rattling classic. Harvard 18, Columbia 7: This is the "down" week for the up- and-down Lions, An upset.

DUKE 14, Clemson 6: Both teams depressed after last week's defeats but Duke at home has greater inspiration. Purdue, 22, Michigan 14: Another upset Wolverines still don't know what hit 'em. Texas Christian 10, Texas A. M. 7: The surging Aggies are favored, but we don't think T.

Phil Dickens drilled his Indiana University football team on defense today in an effort to stop a suddenly potent Washington State ground game. The Cougars, formerly noted for their passing, turned in 391 yards rushing last week in their 34 to 0 victory over Idaho. Their ground total had been only 125 yards in three previous games. Indiana's wingback situation remained clouded for the home game. Nate Ramsey, the Big Ten's third ranking ground gainer, still had a bruised hand.

Mike Lopa was nearly back to full speed after a knee injury four weeks ago, and sophomore Doug Lackey still hasn't made his game debut because of a similar injury. Lucky Slip for Some SAN MATED, filly Mom's All was vanned 36 hours from Del Mar to Bay Meadows. Trainer C. B. "Buddy" Leavitt intended to scratch the entry because he felt the filly wasn't up to the race she was entered in because of the long haul.

Somebody in the stable forgot to make the scratch until after the deadline. Mom's All won and paid $31.60. Cards Harvest Farms ST. LOUIS, Oct. St.

Louis Cardinals purchased the contracts of two minor leaguers today, buying outfielder Jim Beauchamp from Tulsa of the Texas League and first baseman Frank Leja from Charleston of the International League. Leja played with Richmond and Syracuse of the I. L. this past season, then was traded to Charleston. He and Beauchamp are 25, and both originally signed for bonuses, Leja with the New York Yankees in 1954 and Beauchamp with the Cards in 1958.

The two additions restores the St. Louis roster to the 40-player limit. Ohio State Hogs Big Ten Statistics CHICAGO, Oct. State's 44 to 0 mauling of Illinois Saturday established the Buckeyes as the Big Ten's top team both on offense and defense. In that one conference game thus far played by Ohio State, the Bucks amassed 424 yards (301 rushing and 123 passing) while holding the Hlini to 180 yards (129 rushing and 51 passing).

Official league statistics today showed Michigan State, now ranking favorite in the title chase after conference triumphs over Wisconsin and Michigan, as the Big Ten's 'bird best team offensively and fifth best defensively. The Spartans' two-game average of 312.5 yards includes 260 by rushing but only 52.5 by passing. No. 2 team offensively is Iowa whose lone conference start produced a 27-8 victory over Indiana. The Hawkeyes gained 330 yards, 195 by rushing and 135 by passing, against the Hoosiers.
