NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—Sugar Bowl President Dr. Fred Wolfe, Jr. said today that the upset of third-ranked Kansas and fifth-ranked Tennessee did not remove them as top contenders for the New Year's Day classic.
Suspense nears bowl bids
Wolfe said both Kansas and Tennessee still rank high in contention—along with Missouri, Georgia, Auburn and Penn State—for a Sugar Bowl berth.
The New Orleans dentist said scouts will have one more week to view contenders for the Sugar Bowl before a decision is reached by next Monday's deadline.
Tenth-ranked Georgia won praise from Wolfe for its shattering 51-0 shellacking of Florida.
Auburn 6-2 upset Tennessee 5-1-1, 28-14, Saturday and Oklahoma upended Kansas 7-1 by a score of 27-23.
Georgia, however, appeared to be headed for the Orange Bowl if it continues its unbeaten record. "I don't know what the competition is doing," Wolfe said.
The Sugar Bowl president said "if Auburn beats Georgia this weekend, they'll be a hot commodity" in the struggle among bowls.
Fourth-ranked Penn State ran its win streak to seven straight by defeating Miami 22-7.
"Georgia and Penn State are the ones the bowls will go after because they're undefeated." Wolfe said.
KU fencers take 2 firsts
In women's foil KU's Nancy Campbell took a first place from a field of 11.
Two KU fencers picked up first places and another grabbed a third place in a tournament at Bartlesville, Okla., last Saturday.
"I'm definitely pleased with the results," player-coach Steve Keeler said after yesterday's practice. Keeler posted 12 victories in 15 bouts to win in men's foil. Teammate Don Anderson merited a third place in this event.
The fencing team ventures to foreign ground again this Saturday when it draws swords against five other teams at Kansas City Junior College.
Fencers from Kansas City Metro, Central State College, Tulsa fencing club, the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and from a team sponsored by Phillips 66 (Bartlesville) competed against KU's fencers in the meet.
To capture the top award in men's foil, Keeler defeated six opponents in the preliminaries, won four of six semi-final bouts and conquered four of five opponents in the finals.
He said if Tennessee and Kansas continue on to 9-1 records they would make good bowl material.
But Wolfe predicted more upsets this weekend that would make it rough on sugar bowlers to choose the teams.
He emphasized that Kansas still must face arch-rival Kansas State and Missouri this season. Georgia faces Auburn and Georgia Tech and Missouri meets Oklahoma and Kansas. Tennessee must play Mississippi, Kentucky and Vanderbilt and Penn State has yet to play Maryland, Pittsburgh and rugged Syracuse.
Wolfe, who sat in on Missouri's 42-7 win over Iowa State, called the eighth-ranked Tigers a "fired up" ball club.
He praised in particular Roger Wehrli who returned punts for 129 yards against Iowa State to set a Big Eight Conference career record of 1,013 yards in punt returns.
"Every time Wehrli returned a punt, it fired the ball club up," Wolfe said. He called the Tigers a "greatly improved" team since he watched them earlier this year.
