Plunkett shook his challenge
easily and went into the open-
ing game with San Jose State
anticipating his best year yet.
Ralston and the r e s t of the
Stanford staff saw Plunkett as
a definite All-American candi-
date.
The first game of the season
contained a spectacular exhibi-
tion of passing by Jim Plunkett.

Plunkett added, "Sure I was
nervous before the game, but
that didn't effect my passing. I
Just didn't have a good game."
The stage was now set for the
duel between M i k e Phipps of
Purdue and Jim Plunkett for an
edge in national recognition.

yards passing for the game and
five aerial six-pointers.
Despite the loss, Coach Ral-
ston was elated over Plunkett's
performance calling it h i s
"greatest game ever."
The loss to Purdue should not
be a significant one, since the
Pacific-8 schedule starts t h i s
week with t h e Indians going
against the Trojans of Southern
Cal. This game may determine
the eventual conference winner
and Rose Bowl representative.
PLUNKETT IS very intent on
winning tomorrow's g am e es-
pecially after barely falling to
the Trojans last year 27-24. "I
want to go to the Rose Bowl.
We've got to beat Southern Cal
to get another crack at Purdue."
Presently Plunkett is ranked
sixth nationally in individual
total offense with 862 yards,
and 12th in passing with a 50-
93 completion r a t i o, eight
touchdowns, and 776 yards.
After his college career Plunk-
ett is looking for a future in pro
football. Presently he is a po-
litical science major but has no
definite plans other than foot-
ball.
At 6-3, 205, and as the great-
est single season passer in Stan-
ford's history, he needs no oth-
er plans.

Once again the University Activities Center, as it has so many
times in the past, is providing a much needed service to the University
Community. It seems as though the morning garbage wrappings,
otherwise known as the daily, has misled it's entire readership, which
by the way totals about 17 according to a recent UAC survey, by in-
structing all entrants in the now defunct "gridde pickings", to pick
the lippy libels over the UAC MUGGERS.
But since the start of this historical rivalry, UAC has emerged
victorious sixty seven per cent of the times so by simple arithemetic
UAC should be rated a 2-1 favorite. What's more important, UAC
will have the added incentive of retiring the "little brown waste-
basket" if they win this year, for it will be the third consecutive year
of victory.
So all of you sane people who are going to pick the obvious
winner of today's game, in addition to selecting the winner in
nineteen other unimportant games enumerated below, can bring their
entries over to the second floor of the Michigan Union by five o'clock
today. The lucky person who has the highest winning percentage

Hoak, 41, was found slumped over the wheel of his car in the
Shadyside area of Pittsburgh where he lived and police rushed him to
a nearby hospital.
A hospital spokesman said Hoak died of a heart attack.
A former third baseman, Hoak entered the major leagues as a
Brooklyn Dodger in 1954 and played with Chicago Cubs and Cincin-
nati Reds before he was traded to the Pirates in 1959.
In 1960, as the Pirates became the world champions, he batted
.282, drove in 79 runs and cracked 16 home runs.
Just Wednesday night Hoak said on a television broadcast he was
the man for the Pirate job.
"I'm the man for the job. I don't know if the General Manager
Joe L. Brown has picked the man yet, but I'm the man."
* LAS VEGAS - Bookmakers established Baltimore yesterday
as a 7-5 favorite to win the opening game of baseball's World
Series opening tomorrow in Baltimore.
The American League champions are 8-5 to win the series. Gamb-
lers who want the New York Mets in the series will get 5-7 odds and
10-13 in the opening game
Baltimore is 7-1 to take the best 4 of 7 series in four straight
games, and New York is 15-1 for the same bet.
* ST. LOUIS - Outfielder-portrait artist Curt Flood expressed
"surprise and personal disappointment" at the announcement of his
trade from St. Louis to Philadelphia Wednesday and said he would
retire from baseball.
"When you spend 12 years with one club, you develop strong
ties with your teammates and the fans who have supported your ef-
forts over a period of years," the Redbird co-captain said.
"As you know, I'll soon be 32 years of age. In addition, with my
playing days nearing an end due to physical considerations alone,
' I've had to think of my own and my children's future.
"Consequently, I've felt that I should give more time to the
