"Super" Grid League Would Have 8 Powers
SAN FRANCISCO — (UP) — A new "super" football conference, including eight of the greatest collegiate gridiron powers in the nation, is under consideration today with a target date for formation around 1960.
Coach Red Blaik of the Army said the plan for the conference was first approached two years ago.
The conference would include such great teams as Notre Dame, Army, Navy, Pitt, Oklahoma, the new Air Force Academy in Colorado, UCLA and Southern California.
The conference has been proposed by representatives of eastern schools to take the place of past opponents who now are tied up in round-robin schedules in the Ivy League, the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Conference.
At Pittsburgh, Athletic Director Tom Hamilton said: "I can't say yes or no about joining such an organization at this time, because nothing is very concrete. However, we are keeping an open mind to such an idea."
Not Definite at Pitt
Col. Robert V. Whitlow, athletic director at the U.S. Air Force Academy, said he had been approached, on the proposed conference but did not reveal who approached him.
"But nobody had contacted authorities at West Point since that time," he added.
Several of the other schools deny ever having considered such a conference.
PCC Teams Deny It
Athletic Directors Wilbur Johns of UCLA and Willis O Hunter of USC both denied any discussions on the proposed cross-country loop. However, despite the denials, there is strong reason to believe that they have been contacted. There have been indications ever since the Pacific Coast Conference slapped
a fine on the two schools and banned them from the Rose Bowl for "under the table" pay-offs to athletes that they have been considering withdrawal from the PCC
Moose Krause, athletic director at Notre Dame, said he had not been contacted. He refused to comment on whether the Irish would be interested in such a league.
But a reliable source said that Notre Dame, Pitt and Army already had signified their approval for the conference—if Navy would approve.
But Navy reportedly has turned thumbs down on the proposal.

Sooners Picked By 21 Over ND
NEW YORK — (UP) — Michigan State, Oklahoma and Georgia Tech, the three top-ranked teams in the nation, were all rated solid favorites by Broadway oddsmakers today to continue undefeated on Saturday.

Third-ranked Georgia Tech was voted a 13-point pick over Tulane at Atlanta. Ga.
Trouble For Baylor

Tennessee Over Maryland
Tennessee, ranked fourth, was a 20-point pick over Maryland, fifth-ranked Michigan was 13 over Minnesota, eighth-ranked Ohio State was a 13-point choice over Wisconsin and Texas Christian also was a 13-point favorite, against Miami.
The other teams in the top 10 bracket were each favored by at least two touchdowns.
According to the oddsmakers Southern California and Baylor were expected to encounter the most difficulty Saturday among the nation's top 10 teams.
Tennessee Over Maryland
None of the Original Missouri Valley remain. Iowa, Washington, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Kansas State withdrew.
Due to the Oklahoma-Notre Dame telecast Saturday afternoon, the Kansas-Aggie game will be played Friday afternoon, October 26.

Black 'Consistent Player,' Mother Says Of Big Center
"The greatest compliment I can give any football player is to say he is a very consistent player. And Frank Black has been every bit of that in the three years he has been at KU," Coach Chuck Mather told The Daily Kansan.
Black played for Lawrence High School, and he won all-state and All-American high school honors during his senior year. He is being counted on more than even since the injury to Captain Gale Wahlmeier.

year Black was playing center on the first team when a chipped vertebrae side lined him in mid-season, Galen Wahmeier filled in for him and finished the year as first team center.
Now, the situation is reversed. With Wahlmeier

out for at least three or four weeks.
Black takes over on the eve of the
Friday's battle with mighty Okla-
homa A&M.
Black, a senior and letterman, said he believes the Jayhawkers still have a good chance to make the Orange Bowl trip, although "We are still playing them one game at a time. We can't worry about some team that we play later on in the season. You have to take them as they come."
Black is off to the best start of his career. He attributes this to the 30 pounds he lost at Marine camp this summer.
"I didn't realize what a difference it would make," he said.
Line Coach Dave Putts said, "The loss of weight helped Frank's all around play, but it especially made him tough on defense.
"Frank is one of the finest centers in the Big Seven," Coach Putts added. "He is not only a fine leader and team man but a top-flight person. I believe he can be a good offensive center in professional football. However, the pros would make him gain back the 30 pounds."
Basketball Game Won By Hawks
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP — Easy Ed McCauley, the former St. Louis Billikin great, slipped in 19 points last night to lead the St. Louis Hawks to a 77-65 exhibition basketball win over the Fort Wayne Pistons.
McCauley tied with Irv Bemoras for Hawks scoring honors, but his nine-point production in the final minutes provided the margin of win.
Bob Pettit, the National Basketball Assn. leading scorer, rebounder and most valuable player last season, got only 10 points for the Hawks. Norm Stewart, All-Big Seven forward at Missouri last season, played a short time in the second period for the Hawks and scored two points.

KU's junior varsity cross-country squad took five of the first six places to defeat Wichita University 10 to 30 in a race over the Mt. Oread three-mile course Tuesday. Only the first four runners for each team counted in the scoring.
