to look like Archie will end up in New Orleans as the Saints' first round draft choice a situation that's sure to fatten his wallet and probably make him eligible for combat pay at the same time Boston with the worst record around (2-12) at the end of regular season play gets first shot when the annual pro draft opens Jan 28 but the Pats have as many holes to fill as the Saints and also quite a sizable investment in a fellow named Joe Kapp renewed at Los Angeles Others said to be on ground include Buffalo's John Rauch San Diego's Charlie rit a lle Washmgton's Austin Chicago's Jim and

quarterback badly and will almost certainly take Maiming if he's available If not they'll go for Stanford's Jim Plunkett The Saints would seem to have clear sailing as far as Archie's concerned but a couple of obstacles are blocking their way Tight now For one thing it seems that Mr Manning is also quite a baseball player and could command if he wants it a bonus large enough to make a year or two in the minors not very painful at all Jake Gibbs was in similar situation some years ago and has never regretted casting his lot with the Yankees THE OTHER FLY in the ointment is the Atlanta Falcons and Coach Norm Van BrocIdin The Falcons have made it known they'd like to have Manning throwing in Atlanta and if the Patriots are going to do any business it'll probably be with "The team Atlanta incidentally is the only other pro club besides the Saints that's made known any desire to acquire Archie's services (although others are interested to be sure) and this alone may shock some of the frantic Manning followers Fact is Manning for all his college heroics is not first in the hearts of the Majority of pro scouts 'That spot belongs to Plunkett who epitomizes the big strong-armed drop-back passer that all pro clubs covet Scouts believe Ole Miss coach Johnny Vaught's sprint-out offense wins games in college but serves as a poor training ground for pro-type quarterbacks VAUGHT-COACHED C)Bs with the possible exception of Charlie Conerly who he coached only one year have been noticably absent in pro ranks The only team in recent years to gamble on a Rebel quarterback was the New York Giants They sunk a bundle on Glynn 'Griffing in 1963 the restilts never came and he was released three years later: But the feeling in the South anyway is that Archie is something special One thing's sure if he goes with the Saints he'll be thrown into the breach right away and most likely as a starter RUM8LINGS IN THE Cresent City say that housecleaning is going to sweep away many of the present Saints and quarterbacks Bill Kilmer and Edd Hargett are both high on the list of things to go One man no matter how talented won't rescue a Team from the depths (Boston found that out with Kapp) and the troubles of the Saints in '70 would fill a book Start with front office squabbles reports of player dissension an interim coach add crippling injuries weak linebackers no pass rush poor Offensive line the list goes on and it gets pretty frightening my friend Nothing comes easy in this league and Archie couldn't solve these problems if he were a computer The only answer is to build and that takes time How long? San Francisco won its first title in 25'years last week Pittsburgh? They're still looking THE SAINTS HAVEN'T come a long way yet baby but they've still got a long way to go i All of this means the Saints draft second need a quarterback badly and Mainline if he's available If ti0-40 5 4 4 I hal in diN As 3 but I tea spl I Or tic) int rig we 19t I pie bef nec Sta the spi 1 I I att i ba1 am the pie 101 ta I vie '1 Ch 5 1r on( 'i poi 'c on No No I 1 No -3 fro eJe Sta Te: 3 52971 Ix reoHLAci 'il the son I1 a 20 -I-1 First --0 cords -1t Satur I I I 'r 1 11 6 i 1 10 0 I 11 I 0 12 I 2 Lt 113 ti 11 IS 1 1611 1 17 tr 14 IS (1 Car 20 i IC --r i Into i21: 1 4 land clair had slana 1r' Simol Soutt 1 I ion Give Walker's De Luxe Elegance is always appreciated IP NEW ORLEANS (UPI) --s Gov John McKeithen predicts that Coach Jim Pittman will not enjoy nearly the success at Texas Christian University that he achieved at Tulane McKeithen said Tuesday Pittman had dealt him a low blow" by accusing him of interfering I state football recruiting When Pittman quit Tuiane earlier this month he said he thought his move to TCU would put an end to politicans interfering with his recuiting efforts meaning McKeithen had urged top Louisiana high school players to pass up Tulane football in favor of Louisiana State Regular bottle or elegant decanter' Each beautifully gift wrapped at no extra cost Give the best bourbon in Hiram Walker's history 40 Walker's Detuxe Regular 44 6'4" Regular bottle or elegant decanter it Each beautifully gift wrapped at no -----4 extracost Give the best bourbon in 'Hiram Walker's history I- Walker's Detuxe l'- 1' Ir--T rt 1 I 'I i0o 4 t) 1f i 4 lit 1 1 I I A 41 ei 14'1'7(1' I1A4-: USL 6TH Teih Ranked 13th In UPI Poll NEW YORK (UPI) The United Press International top 20 small college blsketball teams with first place votes and won-lost record In parentheses Third week Team Points 1 Ky St 14 (5-0) 258 2 Phil a Text 8 (3-1) 230 3 Ashland (5-1) 145 4 Austin (5-2) 124 5 1-lwrd Payne 2 (7-2) 110 6-SW Louisiana' (9-0) 85 8 Puoet Soundi7-11 72 9 Assumption 7 (6-1) 70 10 Cheynev St 15-1) 65 11" Tenn St 1 (3-1) 57 12 Oral Roberta (8-2) 48 13 La Tech (51) 14 Evansville 3 (3-2) 3R 15 Cent Ohio St (4-01 tt 16 Gann (4-0) 29 17 Cent Wash' (0) 26 418 East New Mex (52) 20 119 Whittenherg (4-0) 13 20 Cal Ryrscie ---(2-2) 12 Others receiving five Or more Eau Clair Youngstown Delta Stitt Central Missouri State Cannital LAW simile Stet New Orleans Seattle Pacific Cal Irvine Springfield Only 30 of coaches voted Doyline Plans Meet Special to The Journal DOYLINE A special independent basketball tourney will be played here Dec 31-Jan 1-2 under sponsorship of the Day line Lions Eight berths are open for 'entries which are limited to two college letterman Teams may contact Jessie Knotts at 745-2240 in Doyline before Saturday's deadline Hockey Standings SI A Pre Hockey At A Glance By The Associated Press NHL i East Division I Ft OP GA Boston 22 5 8 ilf 147 80 New York 22 6 5 AO 107 64 Montreal 15 11 5 35 106 111t Vantouver 13 19 3 29 96 118 Toronto 13 It 1 17 95 99 Detreit 10 17 4 24 90 118 Buffalo A 21-5 17 58 122 West Division Chicago 21 6 5 47 121 67 St Louis 15 8 8 38 77 57 Phileaelohla 12 14 5 29 75 75 Minnesota 12 15 5-29 68 77 PittsisurOh 15 15 26 90 69 California 11 19 2 24 77 M2 Los Angeles 9 16 5 23 14 109 Tuesday's Results Los Angeles 9 la 5 23 Tuesday's Results it Itool ftN stmtiA 04 tow octoaviot 4 himself Walker's DeLuxe the great bourbon from HiramWalker If STIAIONT 10111101 inoisKrt MOS MAN WARES I SONS INi11-1011A Tv i 1 1 II 'i 1 yr( E71 '440i '''''-t Of i4 4 i 1 Jo 1 Itcl 1 TV' 1 1 ow or i i f' 't '11 1 if trillt iP 5'' I t' O''''0' APP etil I kik' 1 i reT 1 4i- se: 1 I i' ixt A i' 1 1 111117g 4 1 l'iI i '1111 4 i I 4t iitt Asemosam4010Not i CtO8Y110t 0 i tts ti4 1kr" AC4D8VrANS 41011 Al 1: 4 it 1-4441mm ommolgo 4 5 kiii '4401t dW''r '7 111f wi -111 i ie- 1 1 tskti ER i i 10 -z!
