'Bottoms-Up greets Aggies
By JAY THOMAS
Kansan Sports Editor
Well, sad as it may seem in Fort Collins, Colorado State has blown it. Just when they appeared on their way to their greatest season since last year (when they went 2-8), who should appear on their schedule but mild, meek, obliging and fumble-prone Wichita State. To any would-be loser of every game and candidate for the Bottom-Up national championship, you know what that means—they could hardly lose for winning.
This development (a CSU win, of course) makes one appreciate just how bad the Bottom Ten's newest entry (and CSU's replacement) Utah State must really be.
Item: Quickly now, who is the worst team in the country to have won a game this year? Wichita State, right.
Item: Who fumbled 17 timcs in one game two weeks ago? Wichita State, right?
Item: Who lost last weekend 50-21, fumbling eight times, having a punt blocked, and losing three passes to interceptions? Wichita State, right?
Item: Who did (can) Wichita State beat this year? Utah State, 21-14, right? Wrong, it was 17-7.
Anyway, in the best Mitchell tradition, Utah State Coach Chuck Mills has in his three years taken what was essentially a good football program (home of pro stars Merlin Olsen, Clark Miller, and Altie Taylor) and turned it into a real stinker.
Last weekend, the Aggies, in what supposedly was a breather in an otherwise easy schedule, took on tiny Pacific University of Stockton, Calif., and, that's right, lost 35-3. What's more, last fall they were cruising along with a 4-1 mark and did the exact thing, falling 18-7 to the terrifying Tigers.

Though they have a victory to their credit, a 14-7 stunner over equally "strong" Bowling Green, this achievement alone qualifies them for a spot on the Bottom Ten list. Ther stay may be short, but in view of recent performances, no less deserved.
Our Brown Helmet Award for the week's outstanding contribution to the cause of defeat goes posthumously to Nemo 418 the IBM date processor which arranged the TCU football schedule this fail.
On successive Saturdays, the late Nemo slated the now dehorned Frogs against Purdue 41-35, Ohio State 62-0, and Arkansas tomorrow to open up the 1969 conference campaign. The fourton Nemo is believed to be the first computer to have ever been hung in effigy and now hangs suspended by crane over football coach Fred Taylor's house.
