The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletlci (NAIA) appears to have filled its four-team playoff lineup without the Spartans and Or-land's Tangerine Bowl has extended a remaining bid lo The Citadel. These were the two possibilities for the 7-1 Spartans who still have a game remaining. Reports from Kansas City, Mo headquarters for the NAIA, indicated that the teams selected for the playoffs would have to have perfect records, Tampa's one loss was to also once-beaten Southeastern Louisiana.

Tittle, veteran of 14 pro cam-p a i completed 19 of 28 passes for 314 yards and made are unranked by the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, spokesmen for the Tangerine Bowl game in Orlando have also apparently given Tampa little or no chances of a berth. An invitation has already been extended to The Citadel, with only I vote from the players required. Middle Tennessee is report ed to be the other team in consideration for the post-season contest. Citadel Coach Eddie Teague said a Tangerine Bowl spokesman called him last week and asked if his team would be interested if offered a bid. Teague said he replied that he would rather not say until the season ended.

The Cadets defeated Arkansas State 28-6 Saturday to finish with a 7-3 record for the season. Teague said players would vote whether to go or not, probably today. The Citadel, winner of the Southern Conference title, defeated Tennessee Tech 27-7 in the I960 Tangerine Bowl. Teague said a bid to play in the new Aviation Bowl at Dayton, Ohio, had been rejected. Meanwhile, Tampa remained once beaten in a schedule they were generally picked to lose at least three.

Reason has been attributed to the early jelling, and consistently sound pass and rushing defense. Appalachian Coach Jim Duncan, whose team was defeated by Tampa 14-0 last Saturday night, said it this way: "With the exception of that big fullback Bob Moorei I can't see where their offense has improved a great deal but that defense. I would definitely rank it just as good, if better than Presbyterian's or Lenoir Rhyne's," he went on.

"I don't know for sure right now," said Huerta, "but I am sure that it will be through the air." Wolford Is big, tough and especially fast in the line, according to scout Charles McCullers, and the only vulnerable spot, if any, is their pass defense. "They played a great football game against East Carolina," said McCullers, "and had the game won until the last 53 seconds. Their 5-3-2 record definitely belies their caliber of play."

The difference in the contest, according to Duncan, and hore out by the films of the game seen yesterday, was the inability of the Mountaineers to get the two or three yards required for a first down; or the rock-ribbed Tampa defense when it counted. This viewpoint depended upon which side of the field you were standins. "Heck, that whole last quarter we were knocking on Tampa's door, but we just couldn't push that pill over," he said. At the conclusion of the film-grading, a regular font-ball season Sunday morning ritual with the Spartan coaches, Huerta said that he was "extremely proud of my linemen.

"I don't think they missed a tackle. When we nailed them, they stayed that way real vicious, aggressive defense," he went on. As for Appalachian's last quarter movement, Huerta said. "I don't know if people realized it or not but we had a couple of boys playing defense for the first time."

But the Spartans are unusual in an unusual way.

They have used defense as their best offensive weapon. They have built this excellent record without a touchdown run from scrimmage of more than 10 yards, indeed, they have won seven games without discovering a breakaway back. And thev have come this far with a squad of youngsters who hide injuries in play, who limp and wince when the coach isn't looking.

If Texas defeats Texas Thanksgiving Day and Arkansas gets past Texas Tech next Saturday, the two teams will wind up for the league crown. Texas will get the Cotton Bowl spot on the basis of a victory over Arkansas.

Mississippi (8-1 is the most likely choice to provide the opposition. The Rebels claim they have made no commitments however. SUGAR With Alabama looking westward and Louisiana State not interested, the Sugar Bowl is in a tough spot. Georgia Tech, although beaten the last two weeks, appears to be the best of the lot for the host spot. Arkansas, pushed out of the Cotton Bowl, probably will go to New Orleans to provide the opposition.

But Palmer, golf's Man of the Year in 1960 with record earnings over $60,000, plans to return to the circuit at Mobile this week for the $20,000 Ser-toma Open.

Weingeroff will be at ringside to manage and second his world heavyweight tag team, but will be highly limited in his movement.

Weingeroff, who helped Kurt and Karl to a victory over O'Connor last week, will be handcuffed to the ring post to prevent his interference with the match. It will be a Texas Death Match, in which the winners will be determined when the opposition concedes.

"The contract and the conference should be investigated if we are bypassed," thundered Colorado Coach Sonny Grandelius, "I don't care what anyone says, we're the conference champions and we're entitled to play in the Orange Bowl." Kansas, besides losing to Colorado in the Big Eight, dropped a non-league game to Texas Christian and was tied by Wyoming early in the season. Rutgers Spurns Bids "If the big eight is going to let the Orange Bowl dictate to them, then it's about time somebody investigates the conference and the contract," said Grandelius.

The Terps have lost to North Carolina 14-8 and South Carolina 20-10. Meanwhile, undefeated Alabama apparently has its choice of bowls with the Rose and Sugar most likely.

Coach Bear Bryant has confirmed the Rose Bowl has been after his team, thus indicating Pasadena is ready to give up the Big Ten. The Crimson Tide (9-0) can't accept anything until after its final game against Auburn Dec. 2, because of Southeastern Conference regulations.

Huerta went on. dead serious about his club, "1 know people look away and lose interest when you mention attitude and spirit, but this club has got the kind of pride, courage and self-sacrifice every coach dreams about. "Just listen." and he began to tick off injuries, not injuries that were sideiinging players, injuries that might warrant a rest but injuries that these '61 Spartans play with. "Paul Gore 'center, he's broken his nose twice in two games and he hasn't missed any practices.

They don't want to sit out. The only player who has missed a game is Jim Caldwell and we had to make him stay out." Then Huerta spoke a minute of the future, if there is one In football at Tampa U. "This team hasn't reached its potential, not nearly. Did you know we have only two seniors, defensive backs Charlie Bailey and Charlie Rose, who play much. Did you know our entire starting backfield is made up of sophomores, our second of freshmen? Our line's about the same way." What Huerta wanted to say but didn't was he certainly hopes he has another year with this outfit.

Actually, he may. the way attendance has been at games and with the great support the Spartans have had since it was reported football maybe on the way out. The Displaced Tackle Huerta returned to one player he'd mentioned earlier. Moore, the big strong former tackle who has been the biggest offensive gainer for Tampa this year. "That's unusual too." he said, "a tackle moving in to plav fullback in college successfully.

Normally it's the other way around." He was referring to the fact that Moore played tackle in high school and his freshman year as a Spartan, He eased into the fullback position this year with remarkable success, his 241 pounds literally unstoppable for at least three yards every time he gets the football. "It's a favorite trick of college to recruit outstanding high school fullbacks and make tackles out of them Remember Duffy Daugherty's Rose Bowl team at Michigan State right after he took over All seven of his starting linemen were former high school fullbacks. "Here Moore's pulled a turnabout." The big fellow is deceptive. Outside of a well Caldwell, nobody on the squad can outrun him in the 100-yard dash, fully-equipped.

"Maybe their youth is one of the answers." said Huerta. "Maybe their youth is what makes them play such carefree football. I'll say this," he did say, "I have enjoyed every minute of my 10 years of coaching but this year has had the edge on ail the others." "And," he added "wouldn't it be nice to win that 100th AT SPARTAN GAME doesn't have any meaning?

Support was said to be strong among committee members for the late-blooming Kansas Jay-hawkers as Big Eight representative, although Colorado is top team of that circuit. Colorado Coach Sonny Gran-delius whose team beat Kansas by a point was upset at Boulder, last night by talk of the Jayhawkers having an inside track for an Orange Bowl bid.

The Big Eight is under contract to supply one team for the annual Orange Bowl game, but the bowl committee has the choice of which Big Eight team to invite.

The conference titlist normally is bid. Colorado's Buffaloes lost one game, 21-12 to Utah, in eight and are unbeaten in six Big Eight games. They edged Nebraska 7-0 last time out. They are ranked eighth in the Associated Press poll. Kansas lost to Texas Christian and Colorado and was tied by Wyoming, but has won six in a row since then.

The Feud It was a running feud between The Spartan (Alex Kin-narid) and the Old Mountaineer (identity unknown). Seems that the Old Mountaineer had several fans in the stand who were quite disconcerted when the bearded fellow didn't appear. He was there, all right, ladies.

"Another Orson Wells," said one wag in the stands, when Bailey's voice reached a fever pitch.

"Makes you almost want to get out there and play yourself," said another. A third statement, though, was a classic: "Hey Sam," one yelled, "why bother with the mike." Although the Tampa-Appalachian contest was strictly a collegiate affair, it was the Hillsborough County high schools that stole the show at least at halftime. Business manager Sam Bailey arranged for nine bands to be on hand for half-time, which brought more than the customary applause from the upwards of 8,000 spectators. From their formation "Band Night," the performing mammoth band, under the direction of Tampa's Hunter Wiley played three selections with utmost professionalism. Included were bands from Plant, Robinson, Turkey Creek, East Bay, Brewster, Plant City, Pinecrest, Jefferson and Brandon.
