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. Plunkett 1 e d Stanford to a "I want to go to the Rose Bowl.

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. :?3 ::'{ : EVER SINCE Jim Plunkett was knee-high he always want- ed to be a quarterback.

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 will win one scrumptuous Cottage Inn pizza plus one ice-cold Coca 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 Curt Flood photo studio franchise business as well as a large back. log of oil portrait commissions," Flood said. Cola. 1.
