Ifu-Unde-feated heavyweight Eddie Machen Thursday was offered a bout with Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson as a stepping stone to a title match with new heavy king Floyd Patterson. Billy Brown, matchmaker for Clemson was a surprise winner of the Atlantic Coast conference although figured as a dark horse with a 7-3 season actually had a 7-1-2 but finished much higher nationally as did Wyoming after going undefeated.

It's about time to throw the spotlight on the species whose stab is the deadliest of all.

That would be the coach, either "ex" or current. No newspaperman, alumni, big -heel or broadcaster could hae applied the pressure on Terrance Brennan nearly as effectively as Frank Leahy did last week. No, sir, it takes one to kick ore. Frank's Folly Leahy, a TV-type sportsman these days, unraveled again and some of the loose ends whipped around young Terry's neck. Others reflected discredit on Notre Dame University and its football team.

What set off Leahy lethal lambasting? Was it because Brennan refused Leahy permission to display an Irish star before the cam- eras prior to the final game of the season? Would Leahy have permitted Johnay Lnjack to parade before tbe living room set the night prior to meeting Southera California? By MITCH WILLIAMSON HOUSTON, the final week of the regular football season all the games went according to form except Lii.U.'i 7- upset of Tulane, First place Oklahoma convinced again over Oklahoma Second spot Tennessee managed Vandy 27-7. Number 4 Georgia Tech shutout Georgia 35-4. The Texas Aggies are in fifth after their 34-21 win over arch rival Texas. Sxith place Miami won again 20-7 from Florida. The other five members of the first 10 had already completed their season before last week.

Looking back in retrospect to September when the System issued its preseason forecast for the 1956 season, it was right on Oklahoma as National Champions with an undefeated record. Georgia Tech Michigan Mississippi Washington and West Virginia were correctly called in September by the System on their won-loss record for 1956. The System was within one game of calling the correct number of wins for Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Auburn, Syracuse, Baylor, California. Texas AiiM, Tulane, Minnesota, U.C.L.A., Navy, Arkansas, and Boston College. Of the 40 teams forecast by Williamson in September as the nation's best 31 are listed among the first 40 in this weeks ratings, three the International Boxing Club, said, following Machen's 10-round unanimous decision over sixth-ranked Johnny Summerlin Wednesday night: "We have offered Machen a bout with Jackson and we would like to put the winner of that fight in with Patterson."
