Grimsley predicts:
Irish eyes happy, Sooners swoon
By WILL GRIMSLEY

Notre Dame knows' how Muhammad
Ali felt back in 1967-today the champ,
tomorrow just another chump, the title
taken away before an angry punch can
be thrown in defense.
Voted No. 1 in national college foot-
ball rankings after some wild
upheavals in the bowl games, the
Fighting Irish woke up a few months
later to learn they had been dropped to
No. 5 by the pollsters.:
On top-Alabama, which felt it should
have been there in the first place.
So Dandy Dan Devine and his talen-
ted South Benders set out this week to
redress some grievances-with spirit
and punch.
Meanwhile, the country gets an early
feel of strength in the Pacific 10,
spawner of the Rose Bowl, with UCLA-
Washington in the headliner hut Stan-
ford picked to pull the upset of the
week.
Last week: 7-3 for .700. This week's
version of Russian roulette:
Notre Dame 30, Missouri 14: They
say the Irish have a fullback named
Heavens, who can't wait. Missouri is
known as the "Show Me" state. Okay,
Dandy Dan, show 'em.
UCLA 23, Washington 17: The
Huskies are Rose Bowl champions on
an impetus kick, but UCLA is deter-
mined to halt the pendulum of league
supremacy swinging to the north.
UCLA has a back named Bashore,
which is not a real estate development.
He just covers a lot of it.
Nebraska 28, California 20: A tentative
vote here. The Cornhuskers may not
have recovered from their Alabama
bruises-physical and pride.
Stanford 28, Oklahoma 22:' Sooner
coaching problems spill onto the field.
Penn State 32, Rutgers 7: Ex-Army
Coach Red Blaik, a legend, regards
Penn State's Joe Paterno as the
classiest of the current college
coaching breed.
Georgia Tech 20, Duke 17: Tech's
Pepper Rodgers has decided to start
shooting from the hip with the "I" for-
mation.
