Tallahassee Open field packed
TALLAHASSEE, Fla (UPI) — While 30 tournament winners for the past year are in Rancho La Costa, Calif., for the Tournament of Champions, the rest of the professional golf tour heads for Florida's capital city and the $50,000 Tallahassee Open.
Former Kansas State football player Jim Colbert, diminutive Rod Curl and journeyman pro Lou Graham shape up as favorites prior to Thursday's opening round. All three made a run at victory in last week's New Orleans Open, won by Miller Barber.

Pro football schedule offers natural rivalries & old feuds
NEW YORK (UPI)—The name of pro football is money. Money from tickets and money from television. Pro Football Commissioner Pete Rozelle knows that, and now that he rules all of pro football, his first integrated schedule for the 1970 season is a thing of beauty, colored green, for money.
Rozelle and his two aides, Jim Kensil and Mark Duncan, have come up with a schedule for the 26 teams that covers 182 games and will offer natural rivalries, old feuds and, potentially, geographic feuds.
The Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl winners, lead off their season against the last pride of the National Football League, the Minnesota Vikings. The Chiefs will carry their old American
Football League banner into Minnesota territory on Sept. 20th.
The first schedule under the new alignment also tosses the New York Jets, against their hometown rival the Giants, on Nov. 1. Rozelle has Giant fans mad at him because the game goes to the Jet park, Shea Stadium, leaving Giant season ticket holders out in the dark—since the hometown TV `blackout` will prevail.
The commissioner, Kensil and Duncan also set up tasty pairings like the Cowboys-Oilers in Texas, the Chiefs-Cardinals in Missouri and the 49ers-Raiders, Chargers-Rams in California.
Ron Carr of Missouri won the prone title with a score of 397 points. Individual kneeling award went to Steve Brooks of KSU with a score of 386. A score of 346 by Don Colcord of Colorado won the standing award.
The individual scoring for KU was: Mike Jenkins, Salina sophomore, 1,065; Mary Arnold, Holton junior, 1,045; Linn Covey, Ft. Leavenworth freshman, 1,026; Mark Bernstein, Overland Park junior, 1,011; and Carol Waltz, Orange, Tex., junior, 956.
The match fired was a full international course consisting of four targets each (400 points) of prone, kneeling and standing with a total of 1,200 points and a time limit of 200 minutes.
The conference match closes out the shooting season for the KU team.
Dodgers pitcher hospitalized for possible hepatitis
The Dodgers lost Pete Mikkelsen, a reliever, early in spring training because of hepatitis. Mikkelsen is out for an indefinite period.
The schedule calls for 88 intra-
divisional games, 54 inter-divisional and 40 inter conference.
There are six divisions in the two conferences under the merger realignment.
Missouri No. 1 took first place in the team scoring with a total of 5,376 points out of 6,000. Following MU were Nebraska No. 1, 5,362; K-State Varsity, 5,275; Colorado, 5,267; Oklahoma State, 5,236; Nebraska No. 2, 5,145; Kansas, 5,103; Iowa State, 5,070; K-State Gold, 4,891; Missouri No. 2, 4,793; Oklahoma, 4,560 and K-State Silver, 3,678.
He was scheduled to enter St. John's Hospital at Santa Monica for more tests.

If you're interested in finding out more about the Paulist priestly spirit, write for our illustrated brochure and a copy of our Renewal Chapter Guidelines.
Wherever he is . . . as a college chaplain, working in a ghetto or helping in a parish . . . the Paulist is serving.
Is there a Paulist in the crowd?
Why? Because Paulists are the mediators of our time . . . standing between God and man . . . understanding, helping, loving . . . trying to bring together the extremes of the world we live in and the Church.
Believe it or not; a campus protest group is *not* an unlikely place to find a Paulist.
