East Moline, too, has two In other weekend action in the Quad Cities, Assumption will be at Rock Island Friday, while the Rocks travel to Rockford Auburn Saturday as Davenport West will host Cedar Rapids Jefferson. Two of the Iowa counterparts get a jump on the league season to get the Pacific 8 Conference champion and some team from the Big Ten, because that's what the contract stipulates. But there must be some agitation among Rose Bowl committeemen to break away from the Big 10 affiliation, especially now that Notre Dame has made itself available.

There is only one contract among the other three old time, prestige bowls, tied to a conference. The Cotton Bowl has a contract to get the Southwest Conference champion. But the opponent in the Cotton Bowl is an at large team to be signed by the Cotton Bowl committee. So while the Rose Bowl people sit back and relax, representa Coach John Ralston. "We'd be going somewhere, but not toward the Rose Bowl." The 6-foot-3, 204-pound quarterback is basically a passer, the dropback type pro scouts look for.

He's expected to be the No. 1 choice of the pros in the winter draft of college players. But the former high school tonight, when West is at Betten-dorf and Central travels up- 2,229 points from the 1,059 electors in a battle as expected with two other highly-touted quarterbacksJoe Theismann of Notre Dame and Archie Manning of Mississippi. Theismann was second with 1,410 points and Manning third with 849. Plunkett, a 6-foot-3, 204-pound-er, is expected to be a top pro draft pick.

In 11 games this season he has passed for 2,715 yards and 18 touchdowns. He ranks No. 2 nationally in total offense with spring. But he decided to stay, saying, "Coach Ralston, all our coaches and my teammates have been building something at Stanford for the past couple of years. If I were to leave, I would always have the feeling that I let them down." Plunkett's parents met at a school for the blind in New Mexico.

Trailing the top in the balloting were, in order: Quarterback Pat Sullivan of Auburn, corner-back Jack Tatum of Ohio State, flanker Ernie Jennings of Air Force, running back Don Mc-Cauley of North Carolina and quarterback Lynn Dickey of Kansas State. Statistically, Plunkett had a better season last year as a junior than he did this year.

Before the Washington game, a newspaper said Plunkett had a sore arm. In the first quarter, he threw a ball about 60 yards, just missing his receiver. The story was obviously wrong.

The fact that the Irish traditionally are contenders for the national championship is only a part of the reason. The major factor involving Notre Dame is that it's the only truly national college football team operating.

LSU was bypassed last winter, despite its 9-1 record, when Nore Dame changed its policy and accepted the Cotton Bowl bid which Louisiana State had coveted. 1 D.

5, it'll be too late to get into one of the less prestigious bowls. The Liberty Bowl in Memphis presently has no teams under contract, but that game is Dec. 12 and if the bowl promoters have to wait until Dec. 5 to complete a line-up, they'll be trimming their promotion time awfully short. There are so many bowl games now that it's ridiculous.

This winter, between Dec. 12 and Jan. 2, there will be 11 bowl games played involving major college division schools. That means that about one of every six schools classified in the NCAA's major division will be participating in bowl games. William Mary, with a 5-6 season record, is one of the teams involved in the Tangerine Bowl game Dec.

28 in Orlando, Fia. That'! the worst record of anv of the bowl entries thus far. Alabama and Oklahoma, rivals in the Dec. 31 A Bluebonnet Bowl game in Houston, both have 6-4 records with single games remaining. Many people would like to see a national championship football tournament established by the NCAA.

But just as many people oppose that idea, and two arguments in opposition are that a tournament would extend the season too long and that it would detract from the bowl games.

Frankly, something should be done to detract from the bowl competition. There's too much of it, and it all smacks of money. The NCAA has recognized the financial pinch on college athletic departments and has responded by allowing an 11th regular-season football game to increase the revenue How and has also sanctioned more and more bowl games, apparently for the same purpose. Individual rights will enter this picture soon, for a season stretching from August to January is too long for some student athletes. CcLmviL Jniuranct Sinct 1914 68 proof Hiram Walker Sons Peoria.
