Order nov lor early delivery. THOMAS CADILLAC wants your business. Please call Kg.17jg Colleges Yes, there is a Virginia football team, of sorts.

Last year, it didnt play quite as well as its record (1-10) indicated, allowing 38.9 points and 509 yards per game. This year, it's favored to go winless and take The Bottom 10 title, symbolic of the worst college football team on land. The Cavaliers have been hampered by a skimpy athletic budget and there is even talk that as an economy measure, the team may have to eliminate third-down plays. The seventh-rated College All-Stars lost their 12th straight opener to Pittsburgh, 24-0, in July, but coach Ara Parseghian expressed confidence that the team would improve as the season progressed. Cornell (1-8 last year) is rated a sure loser since all three of its quarterbacks are returning, as well as most of SPECIAL CITATION: Michigan State won recognition from NCAA as nation's leader in recruiting violations last year with 34.

Pros Two new teams Seattle and Tampa Bay joined the NFL this year and if their fans wonder how long it will take them to gain recognition, they have only to look to New Orleans for inspiration. Although the Saints were formed 10 years ago, they still managed to win two games last season, and they are even favored to win The Bottom 10 title for a second straight year. The Saints, who trained this summer at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, say they still havent found a second baseman. Tampa Bay has been rated third despite coach John McKay's prediction that they will make it to the Rose Bowl.

Cruel World: Norm Sherry, who stepped off the coaching line to take over as manager of the Angels in midsummer, obviously merits some kind of reward. Low key and comfortably mild mannered, Sherry nonetheless is a strong leader, solid and respected. The club is looser under Sherry, doing its best with what it has. Of course, the question now is whether rehiring the old catcher to manage the Angels a full season in 1977 would be classified as a reward or a punishment. Instant Replay: Ram all-timer Merlin Olsen, among other things, says sportswriters might offer more-informed views of the football arts if they watched more game films.

Check First quarter against Buffalo: Key third down for Bills, quarterback faded to pass, sacked via crushing tackle by Olsen. Cheers for Merlin. Film stop action shows, though, that it was Jack Youngblood who led the rush, perfectly pressured the QB right into Olsen, just standing there like a big stiff. Cheers should have been their blockers up front (known as The Chorus Line). IVOHLD'S SMALLEST POCKET PORTABLE Opening Gam Worst '75 Loss School '75 Loss Opener 3-41, Washington Minnesota St.

ONLY FACTORY AUTHORIZED SALES SERVICE IN AREA MURRAY'S COLUMN Continued from First Page 20-game winner (Jim Kaat) for a two-game winner (Dick Ruthven)? It's like getting the pennant at a garage sale. Great teams have been built by artful trades before, but nobody ever before put together a team like this for a whole bunch of postage stamps and collect calls. You talk about the $1 million outfield or a $100,000 infield, this is probably a $9.95 team.

This is a team that was found in a remnant barrel. It's like a guy fishing out a penny putter and winning the British Open with it. To hear their former employers talk about them, you'd think some of these guys' pictures belong in post offices and not bubble-gum cards, but these guys are the hardiest bunch of misfits to come out of Philadelphia since Valley Forge. Their morale is higher than John Hancock's, but, even if they went around busting up hotel lobbies, they'd still be the biggest bargain in baseball history, and the toast of the Bicentennial, because, all things considered, they'd rather be in Philadelphia. Bill Schroeder Norm Sherry for Youngblood Second quarter, another key Buffalo third down, Jim Braxton breaks the-middle and bulls 21 yards to the Ram 15, setting up first Bills' TD.

Stop action shows Braxton sliding right off Olsen. And so on I couldn't keep looking, afraid I'd find out too much. Linemen should be happy nobody pays any attention to them or watches them too closely. We get too intelligent and we might find out it's all a big joke. til? i HERSHEY CORPORATION LOS ANGELES 601 S.

Oops, election day in Arizona, so the game was moved to Sept. 9 prompting the Trojan Club to change its annual Palladium kickoff banquet from Sept. 9 to Sept.

8. I think we've got it straight Now, if we can get promoter Ai-leen Eaton to advance her Carlos Palomino-Armando Mu-niz welterweight title fight Sept. 11 at the Olympic a few hours earlier in the afternoon so it doesn't conflict with USC's opener with Missouri that night, we can see both. Only Yesterday: It was 1925. Coach Bill Spaulding's Bruins dropped an 82-0 cliffhanger to Stanford, edged Oxy and tied Caltech.

Howard Jones' Trojans that year were 11-2 while doing 74-0, 80-0 and 56-0 numbers on Whittier, Pomona and Arizona This is the first season since then that both UCLA and USC are again starting with new football coaches at the same time, Terry Donahue and John Robinson. What this all means is that it's been a long time. The Landlord: It may seem curious that the Forum, with its own boxing promoter, allows rival groups into the building such as former Ram toe Danny Villanue-va's Magnaverde gang, which drew more than 12,000 customers and a $135,000 gate for Carlos Zarate's successful bantamweight title defense against Paul Ferreri Not so curious. The Forum's "share" included an $8,000 minimum for operating expenses plus 12 of the gross as rent and all concessions and parking. Painless profit with no risk.

Designed with two glass belts, and a polyester cord body for long mileage and a smooth ride. "Before I found Vat 69 Gold, I thought I'd never perfect my serve.

Now I get nothing but compliments both on the court and off." The Expert: In his peak days as a welterweight contender, retired Hedgemon Lewis was as sharp a boxing stylist as we've ever sighted. Intelligent, cool and quick Well down the hill, Lewis boxed a draw with champion Carlos Palomino last November. He lost a close decision to challenger Mando Muniz late in 1974 So, Hedge, pal of both, now picks Muniz to stop Palomino and to take his crown "inside 10 rounds" We listen with respect, but don't quite buy. Carlos is coming. Mando is going.

Simple as that. Still, the pairing is the most interesting in a long time, and if Hedgemon wants to do something really important he'd get them to switch their date. How can two nice college kids be fighting on a college-football Saturday? Yeah, yeah, we know. Actually it fits. The Leather Bowl.

The Institution: The date was October 15, 1936 That's when Bill Schroeder and the late Paul Helms opened the Helms Athletic Foundation a landmark for some 35 years on Venice Blvd. Time forced changes. Helms, the man, and Helms, the bakery, departed. Schroeder's baby became United Savings-Helms and then The Citizens Savings Athletic Foundation. One thing has never changed: Schroeder.

For 40 years around this town and the world, he's been honoring others with testimonial banquets, raising funds for any needy cause, handing out plaques, trophies and scrolls to athletes of every country and serving on committees for community and sport. There's not an "all-league" high school athlete who doesn't have a Schroeder certificate in his trunk or on the den wall With his 40th anniversary upcoming, it seems like a pretty good time for somebody to give Bill Schroeder a trophy.

Chappie James speaking to the Ram squad. In the early 50s fresh out of Loyola, Klosterman was an intelligence officer in the Air Force.

James was his CO at Otis AFB near Cape Cod Their reunion last Friday at Ram camp included a visit by Jonathan Winters, who also addressed the team. A few hours later Klosterman, who underwent open-heart surgery June 30, was taken back to Daniel Freeman Hospital with chest pains. He missed Saturday Buffalo game. But no real problem, they say. The condition was not related to his heart, but his kidney.

He will be released today. It probably figured. Two things went wrong Friday. First, Chappie James said too many nice about Klosterman. Second, Klosterman was exploding with laughter at Winters' routines.

Jonathan just wouldn't quit. I've heard of guys splitting their sides laughing, but this was ridiculous, and the word has been passed. Keep Jonathan Winters out of camp. He's dangerous.
