It also was the first touchdown the Baltimore "Asking for an audience reaction just came to me while I was sitting at the rostrum I never had asked it of a group before," said Krause.

He also disclosed that Notre Dame is planning a $1 million renovation of its 40-year-old stadium but bowl money will not be used for it. "We have scheduled Cleveland and the Chicago Bears for a pro game in the stadium next season," said Krause. "We hope to have a pro game there for each of the next 10 years. The money we receive from them will go for renovation."

With the Cotton, Orange and Sugar Bowls all strongly interested in Notre Dame, Krause told The Associated Press that "personally, I attach more importance to the ranking than to the money." Notre Dame dropped its ban on post-season games last year and played No.

Krause said that making a bowl choice, if Notre Dame goes, would be hard. He asked the audience to signify which bowl they preferred for Notre Dame.

The Sugar Bowl? No audience reaction. The Orange, Bowl? A scatter ing of applause. "That's from some of our old alumni who are thinking about those southern climes," laughed Krause. The Cotton Bowl? A round of i applause with shouts of "Texas! Texas!" Jy ByBobFallstrom Herald Sports Editor Defense. That's the reason for the turnabout of the St.

Louis Cardinals from 1969 National Football League flop to 1970 title contender. Last season only two teams New Orleans and Pittsburgh permitted more points. The Cardinals sagged to four victories. Coach Charley Winner made some drastic changes. Defensive end Don Brumm was axed.

Cornerback Bob Atkins was dealt to the Houston Oilers. Rookie Don Parish moved in at linebacker. The revamped defense has been a revelation. The past two Sundays it shut out Houston and Boston. Admittedly those teams are not the best.

Still, successive shutouts is a super accomplishment in this field goal era. Rolf Krueger, a second player from Texas has stepped into Brumm's role with proficiency. The other members of the front four Chuck Walker, Fred Heron and Bob Rowe are putting out like never before. Linebacking, supposedly a weakness, is now a strength with Larry Stallings, Parish and Jamie Rivers, who has regained his 1968 form. A year ago the secondary yielded 38 touchdown passes.

This time it has been exceptionally alert with only two lapses Roman Gabriel tossed three scoring strikes for Los Angeles in the opening game and Fran Tarkenton of the New York Giants completed five touchdown passes Oct. 25. Miller Farr, the former Houston Oilers standout, adds speed and class to the Cards' secondary. Larry Wilson" and Jerry Stovall are perhaps the best tamden in the league. Roger Wehrli, another second year player, continues to improve.

Rich McGeorge recovered a fumbled Packers punt, setting up Dale Livingston's 20 yard field goal, giving Green Bay a 0 advantage.

Jerry Hill's 15 yard scamper around left end with 3:42 left in the first half put Baltimore ahead, 7-3.

He told the Chicago Today Quarterback Club that he has this feeling because: "We are always expected to win. When we win by a big margin, we are accused of laying it on. We are even getting groans when we don't make a first down." He said that his offensive line and interior defense, both hit by graduation, "are performing above my expectations" and are "main attributes to the team's success so far." "But, perhaps, more significant are the great skills of Joe Theismann, whose record speaks for itself insofar as the Heisman Trophy Award is concerned," he added. "He has a quick arm and quick feet; he can run and he can scramble; and he is a great competitor. But foremost he is never bothered by adversity.

"I never would have believed that Terry Hanratty's Notre Dame record could be broken. But Theismann has done it and he still has three games to play." Theismann's career total of fense yardage has reached 4,741 three more than Hanratty's. newcomers in the large school rankings, displacing MacArthur and Taylorville.
