Its sponsors im mediately looked south for a suitable opponent. Promotor Bud Dudley, visibly heartened by acceptance of the bid he made almost two weeks ago, said four teams are under considera tion now but by the weekend the situation may change. The four are Southeastern conference champions Georgia (8-1), Georgia Tech (6-3), Southern Methodist (5-3-1) and Navy (4-4-1), only if it beats Army Saturday in Municipal stadium in Philadelphia.

State announced acceptance of the invitation without comment on its campus at University Park. But Coach Rip Engle and Richie Lucas, his quarterback and an All- America candidate, leit no doubt they were happy to be coming to the Liberty Bowl Louisiana State voted unanimously to accept the host's spot in the 1960 Sugar Bowl classic at New Orleans, Jan. 1. No opponent has been named, but Mississippi figures highest among prospects. LSU defeated Mississippi earlier this year 7-3.

Meanwhile, the Washington Huskies were unanimously selected as the western football representatives to meet Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena New Year's day. Ray Eliot, head football coach at the University of Illinois, was selected as an assistant with the East squad in the Shrine charity game in San Francisco, Jan. 2. He replaces Milt Bruhn, whose Wisconsin team goes to the Rose Bowl Jan. 1.

Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State will head the East staff, with John Michelosen of Pittsburgh as an assistant.

"Numerically, chances are that we eventually may get more varsity players off this squad, but not as many are ready to play right now as there were last year," says Johnson. "We need halfbacks, so boys like Bill Mun-cey, Buzz and Harold Anderson and Dick Reidberger have better chances of playing next year. "Jerry Jones of St. Louis Park has as much potential as Muncey.

But because he is a fullback and we have three fullbacks coming back, Jerry may not play much as a sophomore. "We need help at tackle, so the frosh tackles will have a chance to show. Ross Iudica (230-pounder from Wilmington, Del.) probably is the No. 1 tackle on the frosh squad. Pete Bergman of Duluth is a converted fullback so it will take him a little longer to come along," said Johnson.

Frosh Plan: Wally says the problem this year will be to find the best football players on the freshman squad regardless of what position they play and move them to a position where they are reeded. "Bob Prawdzik of Berwyn, 111., and Ronald Ottoson of Red Wing are fullbacks but we'll probably find some other place for them to play. Bobby Bell of Shelby, N. has played end, halfback and quarterback. We know he is a football player but we don't know where he will play.

"We have more guards than any other position. Steve Jelacic of Brainerd and Donald Burawski of Wilmington, are two of the five or six who eventually may play. "Duane Blaska of Anoka was the top quarterback. Our end squad wasn't real strong," said Johnson. The Gophers wound up with 55 on the frosh squad, and 36 of these were on some kind of aid.

"WE PROBABLY should1 have placed Baylor in the' hospital immediately when he became ill last week," said President Bob Short. "But the doctor said he didn't think it would be necessary. Now it is believed that supervised care and drugs Willi knock out the infection quickly. We hope so." After Wednesday's game here, the Lakers play at Cincinnati Thursday and St. Louis Saturday.

They'll meet Boston in the St. Paul auditorium Sunday night and will need Baylor to prolong a two-game winning streak.
