It was almost 19 years ago ugh that we first en-gaged in these two great international sports, and here we are back at the scene of the crime and all that's changed i3 Heidi.

Boy, has she changed! Heidi is a golden-haired, green-eyed killer who is working for NBC at this Super Bowl game. She is sort of the official welcomer in the press room and shes passing out buttons to all members of the media? "Heidi Loves the Super Bowl." Heidi also loves corned beef sandwiches, sauerkraut, new pickles and root beer. I know. I bought her lunch Tuesday afternoon. Heidi DuBeck is a 20-year-old beauty and the reason I'm mentioning her today is that she's picking the Colts in the Super Bowl, 34-24-35, and she was only two years old when I was honeymooning here in 1950.

I said to her: "Do you know what I remember most about our honeymoon?" And she said: "What's that?" And I said: "Al Jolsen." And she said: "Al Jolsen?" And I said: "Yeah, Al Jolsen. My wife was a big Al Jolsen fan and he died when we were here and I remember her crying about it when we read it in the morning paper." And she said: "Oh, that's very very sad." And I said: "Yeah." When Sports Nut Gets Married YOU SEE, THE REASON I'm mentioning our honeymoon is really because of Mr. and Mrs. Gerrit Buth of Coopersville, which is located outside of Grand Rapids. There I was sitting on Eastern's 953 flight out of Metro Juesday morning, thinking about our honeymoon and all the football we were involved in during those grand day of 1950, when these two got on the plane and the stewardesses started fussing over them, saying things like "Oh, you were married at four o'clock yesterday afternoon? Isn't that nice." That really brought back a flood -of memories.

because I remember sitting in the living room of the house in Woodslde watching the Army-Harvard game on the old seven-inch TV set and there was my mother saying "Come on, take your bath we'll be late for church." It was the day I was getting married and all I could think about was if Army could make 50 points against Harvard. It was 49-0 in the fourth quarter and Bob Blaik, the coach's son, was the quarterback for the Cadets. You remember him. He was one of the victims of that cribbing scandal at West Point. I was saying: "In a minute.

a minute. I wanna see if they can get 50." I guess that's how it goes when a sports nut gets married. I know this: Marriage or no marriage, I wasn't missing the Giants' game with the Browns the next day for anything. No, sir. I bought tickets in the middle of the summer and the day after we were married there we were sitting in the upper-deck end zone in the Polo Grounds watching Arnie Weinmeister and the boys chase Otto Graham all over the place.

It was Giants 17, Browns 13. The crowd was 41,734. The date was Oct. 22, 1950. I looked it up before I left Tuesday morning.

Take Me Out to the Hall Game WE SPENT SEVEN DAYS in Miami Beach, and I don't want my kids to know this, but we blew $750 in seven days. We did it all. We even went out to the Orange Bowl to see South Carolina play Miami on a Friday night. A crowd of 35,000 turned out for the game and there was nothing unusual about that except that this was a freshman game. When we got back to New York, all I had to my name was seven bucks.

"I know now that he's a gentleman and not the kind of guy you figure him out to be at first," Michaels said of the sometimes brash Jet leader. Namath and Michaels met by chance in Ft. Lauderdale, where both teams are being quartered, Sunday night at dinner. Upon recognizing Namath, Michaels said hello.

"The first thing he said bock to nie was how the Jets were going to kick out of our team," Michaels reported. Richman reports the ensuing conversation this way: MICHAELS: "Haven't you did a great job on Greer and Terry (Dischinger) gave us a big lift in the second DISCHIXGEK, who sat out for Find due To Drought Whip Badgers To Even Mark Special to tha Fret Press EAST LANSING There was no dancing in the streets, but Michigan State did have cause to rejoice. The Spartans snapped a five-game losing streak TueS' day night, defeating Wis consin, 77-67. The win evened MSU's Big Ten record at 1-1 and knotted its season mark at 5-5. State ran away and hid from the Badgers, scoring seven points before Wisconsin could get on the scoreboard.

When MSU increased the budge to 22-11 midway in the first half, Wisconsin coach John Powless benched his starting lineup. Powless was not conceding the game. Although the Spar tans led, 42-26, ait halftime, Wis consin opened the second half with a full-court, man-to-man press that stymied State. They did not score ar point In the last minute of the first half and went seven minutes and 56 seconds Into the second before netting a basket. While Michigan State was vainly trying to score, the Badgers were whittling away at the lead.

With five minutes remaining, Wisconsin pulled within five, 61-56. SEEING their margin dwindling, the Spartans went into a stall, scoring only on open shots, and coasted to the final buzzer. Lee Lafayette's 20 points and 11 rebounds led Michigan SUite, as did guard Harrison Stepter's 20. The defeat was Wisconsin's second in as many Big Ten starts. The Badgers are 5-6 overall.

The announcement by the team said Holovak will be offered another job in the organi zation, the nature of which will be determined soon.

There was no immediate word on a successor, and no indication whether the team would seek separate individuals as roach and general manager or again hire one man in the dual capacity. In nearly eight full seasons as head coach, Holovak compiled a 52-46-9 record, leading the Pats to the Eastern Division championship in 1963 and gaining AFL coach of the year honors in 1966 when a late season charge fell one-half game sho-t of another divisional title. in 1st heard of the word modesty, Joseph?"

The Pistons tried 1-2-3 times to blow the game, but survived on the tenacious play of Howard Komives, the second-half rebounding of Walt Bellamy ajid a jump shot with 28 seconds left by Dave Bing. Detroit squandered an eight-point lead in the second quarter, then almost incredibly saw a 12-point lead evaporate in eran of 800 NBA games, to third period. OXCE AGAIN, the Pistons mounted what seemed to be a safe lead of nine points with two minutes to go in the game. But the pressing 76ers, who had won five of their last six games, charged back on repeated Detroit fumbles and bad passes. CJiet Walker drilled seven straight point and a three-point play by Darrall Imhoff made it 115-111 with 43 seconds left before Bing's bomb eased the pressure.

"When they started throwing the ball away near the end, it brought back memories," laughed coach Paul Seymour, whose blood pressure was severely tested by the Pistons' second and third-period swan dives. "But you hardly ever win any easy ones. And just about everybody did their little bit to help win this one.
