PITTSBURGH (AP) Rocky Bleier, former Notre Dame running star from Appleton, who was wounded in the Vietnam war, has written to Pittsburgh Steeler owner Art Rooney and told him he'll be able to play professional football. Bleier's letter read: "Well the hievitable happened. I got hit both legs. On the 20th (of August) our platoon ran into an ambush and a sniper bullet hit me in the left thigh. When we pulled back, they followed us and this is when I received my second wound.

A grenade came into the perimeter and exploded at my foot. I received shrapnel in the foot, knee and thigh. "The doctor said nothing is that serious to hamper my running. I will be coming home shortly. After my tour here is over.

"Wish the boys good luck in the season. Also good luck to Coach (Chuck) Noll. I hope to see a couple of games." McLain Bags 21st Victory DETROIT McLain won his 21st game and Bill Freehan drove in the winning run with a double as the Detroit Tigers edged the Seattle Pilots 4-3 Saturday. The Pilots got five hits and their three runs off McLain in the first three innings before he settled down to hold Seattle hitless the rest of the way. The victory upped McLain's major league leading record to 21-6.

He won 31 games last year and also won 20 games in 1966.

Ohio U. pass catcher Todd Snyder's father is the school basketball coach and member of the Athletic Hall of Fame. North Canrtina tight end Tony BlanCbard, 6-3, 245 is the son of former Army all -time fullbadc Doc Blanchard.

Attention -getting will be an art among this fall and no schooi, regardless of size, will be left unturned in the effort. Louisiana Tech 's Bradshaw, who can hustle his 6-3, 216- pound frame in 4.7 for the 40, led the college division in total offense last year with 2,987 yards while completing 176 of 339 aerials for 2,890 and 22 touchdowns. Shaw, once a freshman linebacker at Southern Cal, now directs San Diego State's versatile attack. In the crudiing 68-7 trouncing of Soutiiem Mississippi last year, the 6-3, 200-pound marksman hit on 17 of 38 tosses for 524 yards and seven TDs. Time for Encore Kern and Montgomery return after sensational sophomore campaigns.

The former, possessing just the right combhiation of brains, brawn and brash confidence, led Ohio State to the national championship. Montgomery sparked Arkansas' Southwest Conference co-titlists, capping his year with a great Sugar Bowl show. Both should be even better with the seasoning. Colorado senior Anderson, best at running the option sweep, returns after pacing the Big Eight hi total offense last year. Plunkett, 6-3, 205, junior, is the premiere QB on the coast who could lead Stanford into the Rose Bowl.

He passed for 1,156 yards while playing half a season on torn knee cartilage. The Florida State staff claims no passer can match Cappleman while Purdue coach Jack Molenkopf says that while Mike Phipps is not as quick releasing the ball as pro Bob Griese, he is bigger, stronger and a better marksman. SMU points with pride to junior Chuck Hixson, 6 -2, 190, who burst onto the varsity scene last season to become die nation's top aerialist as he hit on 265 of 468 passes for 3,103 yards and 21 TDs. Set Mark In '68 Other top quarterbacks include Harry Gonso, Indiana; Steve North Texas State; Tommy Pharr, Mississippi State; aeve Bryant, Ohio James Street, Texas; Leo Hart, Duke; Bill Triplett, Michigan State; Ray Grath, Utah. Sooner workhorse Owens set an all-time national mark of 237 carries in 1968.

He now needs only 158 yards to match Gale Sayers' three-year Big Eight Conference rushing mark and 1,045 yard to crack the NCAA three-year standard of Mercury Morris. Owens powered his way for 1,536 yards and 21 TDs last fall. Discussion of other halfbacks quickly swuigs to swifties like Penn State's versatile Charley Pittman, Nebraska's Joe Ordu- na, UCLA's Greg Jones, Billy Mair of Oregon State; Harvey Blanks of Texas Larry Stegent and converted wide receiver Ron Gardin of Arizona. Kansas' John Riggins at 6-2, 225 rushed for 866 yards and a 6.2 average with his 9.8 speed as a yearlmg so he's prime AA fodder at fullback. Arizona's hustling Art Malone wound up fifth in rushing (1431 yards) and tied for eighth (96 points) in scoring.

If he's whole again, TCU's Norm Bulaich, 6-1, 216 is a great one with 9.6 swiftness. Other standout fullbacks include Texas' Steve Worster, Ohio State's Jim Otis, Bo Bowen of Mississippi, Jim Carter of Minnesota, Warren Muir of South Carolina and Tim Sullivan of Iowa along with Al Newton of Syracuse. At wide receiver; Hendren made 86 catches and Synder 79 last year while Gillette, a math major with standout schoolboy pole vault and hurdles credentials, had 50. O'Brien tallied 142 points on 13 field goals, 12 TDs and 3 PAT's while averaging an astronomical 25.2 yards on 44 receptions. Indiana's Jade Butcher, Arkansas' Chuch Dicus, Mississippi State's Sam Milner, Rice's Larry Davis and USC's Bob Chandler are exceptional as is Texas El Paso's Clyde (Sonic Boom) Glasson.

Charles Williams of Prairie View, 6-4, 215, with 9.7 speed and a 6-10 high jump to his credit, is rated by some conference coaches over Otis Taylor and Clifton McNeil at the same stage. Graham.

Rugby Disasfer, Stands Collapse PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) At least three persons were killed and police estimated 200 mjured when a temporary, 70-foot high stand collpased Saturday minutes before the end a rugby game between Austra lia's Wallabies and a Northern Transvaal team.

The temporary stand, erected next to the mam pavilion at the Loftus Versveld Sports ground accommodated about 1,000 fans Withui half an hour of the disaster ambulances were arriving and departing in a steady stream, with about eight ambulances on the field at a time. Police arrived by helicopter. posite sides of the Ime of scrimmage as professional football became a game of specialists, were named Saturday to the all-1950s team commemorating the National Football League's 50th anniversary season. The all-1950s team reflects the growth of the game during that decade hito the highly popular sport it is today with free substitution allowmg for two elements to become as represented by Graham and defense as represented by Huff. Graham, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, represented the field general who could march his forces down- field with precision, hitting on a pass, calling a running play that caught the defense moving toward the goal.

Huff, the middle linebacker for the New York Giants, became synonomous with violence use by the defense of its beef and brawn to seek out and destroy precision offenses. That clash of precision offenses agamst violent defenses stirred the crowd appeal that has made pro football probably the No. 1 spectator sport in the country. Those five decades of pro football have been commemorated by the NFL, in conjunction with Simon and Schuster, with the publishing of a book, "The First Fifty Years," that punctuates each of the five decades in league history with an all-star team. Announcement of the decade teams will be followed by the naming of an Alltime NFL All- Star team.

Graham is one of three quarterbacks selected to the all-19i50s team, joining Bobby Layne and Norm Van Brocklm as the passers named. In the backfield with them are such standouts as Lenny Moore, Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, Hugh McElhenny and Alan Ameche. Huff's defensive mates include three other linebackers- Joe Fortunato, Bill George and Joe three tackles who have been elected to the Hall of Donovan, Leo Nomellinl and Ernie Stautner. Voting for the all-19503 team was done by Hall of Fame selectors in each of the NFL cities. All-Pro Team of 1950s Raymond Colts.
