Illinois? Hemisphere? What if South Carolina was named South? Or William Mary was just William Then, too, Northwestern has one of the most common nicknames (Wildcats) shared by Kansas State, Kentucky, and Arizona State among ipfhers. Hence, the talk of a merger "(Northwestern Kentucky Elsewhere, UPI's Top Ten (ranked eighth last week) was replaced in that spot by The Bottom Ten, which five games. No.

North finished its season at 6-0 while South, which has lost only two games in the past two years (both to North), finished at 5-1. South took the opening kickoff and drove successfully against the wind, but lost its first fumble of the season at the North 12-yard line.

Ray Rodriguez sprinted across his left tackle on North's first play and rambled 88 yards to score. Don Whiteley ran in the conversion for an 8-0 North lead. Rodriguez took off again in the second quarter and scored from 51 yards out. The conversion attempt failed and North had a 14-0 lead at halftime. North took the second half kickoff, but fumbled the ball away to South on the first offensive play.

Brad Brummer, the workhorse of the South offensive unit all year, used only three rushing plays to give South a TD. He picked up short yardage his first try then rambled 37 yards to the one-yard line before scoring on the next play. Brummer added the two-point conversion run to cut the North lead td-148. Another South fumble early in the fourth quarter set up the final North TD.
