Only two major changes altered this week's select circle South Bend Washington replaced northern loop rival Mishawaka in seventh place and East Chicago Washington moved up into eighth place past Vincennes but otherwise the elite held firm. Three South Bend Teams Picked The addition of South Bend Washington, conqueror of Mish-awaka last week, gave that city three elevens in the first ten for the first time in years. Noll's warriors ride the crest of a 12-game winning streak half of them chalked up this year and need only four more games for a perfect season. Their stiffest test left is against once-beaten Evans-ville Memorial November 2.

Runner-up to Coach Karl Huf-fine's Ca4umet Wonders is East Chicago Roosevelt, followed by-South Bond Central, Richmond and South B-nd Riley. The lower bracket, in order, is composed of Evansville Central, South Bend Washington, East Chicago Washington, Vincennes and Fort Wayne Central Catholic. There'll be little or no rest for the front-runners this week end. In at least four games, well-regarded clubs tackle members of the Big Ten. These include Gary Emerson against East Chicago Washington.

"Do you think a lack of manpower is responsible for Indiana's poor record?" "Do you think inferior coaching is at fault?" Officials of the university's athletic department, including Smith, said they had not seen the questionnaires. They refused comment.

But in Chicago, J. Franklin Lindsey, former president of the local Indiana University Alumni Association, said members had been dissatisfied with Smith for the past three years. "We feel that his record has shown that he can't give us the coaching we're entitled to," Lindsey said. "We have taken the leadership in what you might call the anti-Smith camp." Smith is wrestling with a manpower problem, especially in the line. He recently lost veteran Tackle Sam Talarico for the rest of the season because of injuries.

And the quarterbacking, handled so deftly by Lou D'Achille last season, also hasn't clicked so far. However, Smith made no alibis. "As a coach I expect to be criticized," he said.
