It just seems that way. About 10 months ago my 15-year-old daughter, Marie, Introduced me to one of her new boyfriends and informed the family that he had been invited to Sunday dinner. I rushed right out to find fresh co-signers because this 17-year-old kid looked like an 8-5 favorite to eat the hind end off a water buffalo without cooling a hot appetite. At that time Mark Cooney stood 6-5 and weighed 220. Marie had told me that he was an outstandnig football player at St.

here, although she sure what postiion he played. After one look I figured he played anywhere he wanted. Over the years St. has turned out better priest than football players, which is the whole Idea of the school. But Cooney changed his mind on the priesthood early last year and by November was thinking about football and girls, and not necessarily in that order.

Mark and I spent over a half hour in my backyard talking about football in general and college football in particular.

Penn State took a 7-0 lead in the second period on a 1-yard smash by sophomore Franco Harris, made it 14-0 in the third period on a 7-yard touchdown by sophomore Lydell Mitchell and boosted it to 20-0 in the final period as veteran Charlie Pittman bulled across from the 1.

(AP) Carlos Alvarez made the most sensational pass reception of his young foorball career for a two- point conversion and gave 12th- ranked Florida a squeaky 18-17 victory Saturday over a Tulane Green Wave that appeared upset bound until the final minutes.

It was the sophomore passing combination of quarterback Reaves to Alvarez that turned almost certain defeat into the fourth straight victory. Reaves sent a looping pass to the far side of the end zone and Alvarez snatched it away from a Tulane defender just before falling out of bounds. Tommy Durrance smashed one yard to the touchdown that gave Florida its chance at 17-16. But it two long passes from Reaves to Andy Cheney, another sophomore, filling in for Alvarez when he was hurt briefly, that put the ball in scoring position. The previously high flying Florida offense was listless through most of the game and hard-running platoons of backs punctured the Gator defense repeatedly.

Seems that wrestler Joe Blanohar, who maintains a strong interest in all sports in this area, called Colorado Coach Eddie Crowder and him Mark on the telephone. Blanchard and Crowder used to play Canadian ball together and they still touch bases. In the case of Cooney Colorado was a perfect pick because a native of Denver and his family still lives there.

But very little or none of that information came from Mark. He was one of the nicest, most unassuming young men ever had the pleasure of chatting wdth. His only comment about the possibility of him playing college football was, certainly hope I can make it and not disappoint Yesterday word came to our sports department that Mark Cooney, listed as the only Texan on the Colorado freshman team, has been elected co-captain for this season. As a defensive end the big guy has been chewing up ball carriers like they were so many pork chops. Now Crowder and his crew of varsity coaches are convinced got a real jewel coming up next season and Cooney might become one of greatest.

You just never know when talking to a future All American. Oddly enough, all the Southwest Conference coaches completely overlooked the big boy. Besides Colorado, he got scholarship offers only from Nebraska and Trinity. younger brother, Kevin, is now a sophomore at St. and this year a starting end.

Kevin is 6-3 and still growing so, unless he decides on the priesthood, probably earn his college education on football field just like Mark. No Bets on Chiefs GOT TO BE A GOOD REASON why Las Vegas, along with other wagering workshops around the country, have fefused to list a line on any Kansas City Chiefs football games this season. Once in a while the gamblers hear of something that highest league officials know about. They must think wrong because most of last season Kansas City was left off the big boards and bookmakers have refused wagers on all the games thus far this year. Arturo Leon of Mexico City will face Raul Herrera of El Paso in the main event of an Oct.

The unbeaten Mexican boxer has a 21-0 record including 19 knockouts, three of the kayos coming here against Jesus Mora, Chuck Spencer and Carlos Zayas. Herrera lost a unanimous but controversial decision to Jesus Pimentel in his last appearance here. The bantamweight feature will go ten rounds.

Hubie Blake, who missed his debut here becaUwSe of visa problems, will fight Jose Medina of Mexico City in a 10-round semifinal lightweight fight. Blake is tutored by Archie Moore. Three more fights will be added to the card. Tickets will be $7, $5 and $3. Reservations can be made by calling CA7-6472.
