"HE'S THE equal of anybody in the country," says Scheuerman of the blond, 6-foot-6 all-Big Ten choice who is the highest scorer in Iowa history going into his senior season.

Last winter, Nelson's Iowa tied Dlschinger's Purdue for second place behind Lucas' Ohio, and that's about the emblematic of the national junior college championship. A CROWD of 49.023 saw Cameron score twice in the first period, thanks to Harper's brilliance, only to have Bakers-field bounce back for a 14-14 halftime tie. Bakersfield bobbles helped set up two fourth quarter scores for Cameron but the Renegades came back In the final 33 seconds to regain one of the touchdown. A 41-yard field goal by playing coach Dan Tassotti in the third period gave Eustis the three points it needed to wrest the national service championship from the Marines. Don Nelson Pontillo chipped in with 143 yards and two touchdowns.

You simply can't take anything for granted in this game, otherwise you're liable to get killed.

The Vikings showed us that they can be troublesome. That Fran Tarkenton (rookie quarterback) dodges all over back there when he's waiting to pass. He can rea-ily scat. Dave Middleton and Jerry Reichow, our old Lion buddies, caught passes that hurt us. You can't relax with them around.

I THINK, though, that we ran beat the Vikings again, especially if our defensive line continues to play as it has. I doubt that the Viking blockers can hold Alex Karras or Roger Brown out of their backfield. Our own offense, which was muffled pretty much by the Bears last week, should have more of a chance to operate. Nobody rushes the passer as severely as the Bears. If we get by this one, we'll be in a good spot next week for the last game of the season.

We'll have the Philadelphia Eagles then, and they could be fighting for the Eastern Division title, while we could be shooting for the Play-off (runner-up) Bowl game in Mia-mi. RV JOE SCHMIDT Co-cptm, linebtckar of Detroit Liw This is the kind of game that scares the life out of coaches and players alike. We've beaten the Minnesota Vikings before rather easily. 38-10, after stumbling around for a while. We were in trouble in the early part of that game, just three weeks ago, because, I think, we had taken the Vikings for granted.

We almost threw that game away before we got straightened out. THE SAME thing applies here.

The citizens in the Fitzgerald school district spent their monies wisely during the last decade on the most modern facilities available in education.

Just last month Smarks voluntarily stepped out as president of the Michigan High School Coaches Association, an organization which he started in 1954 and built into a powerful unit of the Michigan Education Association. Like any person who has done everything worthwhile, Smarks has been the target of potshots, but the perpetually smiling little guy who came out of the north woods to get a lot of big things done in an awful hurry doesn't complain.

He said his resignation was final. But Lapeer citizens wanted to show their appreciation and threw the greatest banquet in Lapeer history.
