When the men in the maize and
blue jerseys take the field on
Saturday they will be greeted
with a thunderous roar. When an
equally important team in black
and white striped jerseys steps on
the turf they will be lucky if they
hear a few cat calls. And, What's
more, these officials couldn't care
less.
"Nobody should know that we
are even around," explained Jer-
ry Markbreit, who will be referee-
ing the Michigan-Arizona" game.
"It is the hallmark of good of-
ficiating when we are able to
remain inconspicuous."
THE OFFICIALS are not in-
volved in the game of football for
its glory but rather because it is

peCii Sharpener.?
A sharp car may arouse a chiek's interest. But a sharp pencil leaves her with a
deep impression.
And you can keep sharpening your pencils ten times longer thah the other guys
with a Panasonic electric pencil sharpener. Because it has tungsten-steel
blades. With a sealed electric motor that knows how to grind away without grinding
your pencil t6 a frazzle. Not only that, but an
electric light flashes on when it's time to pull it out.
You don't have to worry about pinning
down our pencil sharpener, either. Four
super-suction pads on the base hold it down
so you don't have to.
But it's not just a tactile experience,
using our Point-O-Matic. It's also
aesthetic. In a choice of Collegiate
Walnut or Ivy Green finishes.
Just tool over to the bookstore
in your sports car. Or your heap. And '. .

jority have other occupations and
still find time to don their strip-
ed shirts and white caps in . as

It is not easy for an official to
pinpoint the time when he first
became interested in a different
angle of football. "I had always
played ball in college and didn't
become interested in this area
until after graduation," says
Markbreit..
He began his career by working
grammar school games in the Chi-
cago area and later moved on
to CYO games, the Junior Bears
and finally the Big Ten.
Officials in the Big Ten work
in teams of five. Each man has
his special position, such as ref-
eree or field judge, and works
from that spot the entire season.
The umpire and field judge
travel between conferences while
the other three officials work only
in Big Ten games.
Unlike the pro official who ad-
mits listening in on the huddle for
help in calling the play, Markbreit
does not eavesdrop on the quar-
terback. "The majority of college
conferences have a manuel of me-
chanics which we follow closely.

Everyone knows where he is sup-
posed to be. We are always in
position. Besides, we have too
many other things to do like
taking care of 'the.ball between
plays."
A TYPICAL football week end
for Markbreit would be one where
he leaves his home of Skokie,
Illinois, before noon on Friday.
He either drives or flies to his
destination. (Since he works .only
conference games the farthest dis-

tance he has to travel is to Min-
nesota.) He has dinner with other
members of his crew and they
spend the evening going over films
of the previous week's game.
The officiating crew arrives at
the stadium, at about 10 o'clock
Saturday morning, according to
Markbreit. They "discuss every-
thing that can possibly 'happen'
until about 1 o'clock when t h e y
dress for the game. When the
game is' over they try to leave as
"unassumingly as we can."

With a returning crop of gifted
grabbers, this year's star-studded
cast of quarterbacks can't help
but look good.
Heading the receiving pack is
Florida flanker Carlos Alvarez,
who thrilled the crowds in Gator-
land last year with his spectacular
receptions (88 for 12 TD's) and
deceptive running. As a sopho-

If Alvarez can overcome, of all

TIE BUCKEYE BRAWLEitS of
Ohio State have two premier pig-
skin pluckers returning for the
1970 season. Both Bruce Jankow-
ski and offensive co-captain J a n
White have been drawing the at-
tention of pro'scouts.
Jankowski, 5111" and 192, turn-
ed 23 catches into 404 yards and
5 TD's last year. White also grab-
bed 23 for 5 touchdowns. With
Rex Kern at the helm, this pair is
a good biet to match their 1969
stats.1
Two other Big Ten candidates
are Purdue's Ashley Bell, and Illi-
nois' tight end Doug Dieken, Bell,
a 6'4" 210 pound speedster, snag-
ged 49 passes for 669 yards as a
junior while setting school and
Big Ten records for touchdown
grabs (11 and 8).: His size, speed,
moves, and strong hands could
make him one of the nation's fin-
est receivers.
Illini MVP of 1969 Doug Dieken
has more than adequate creden-
tials to qualify his as an All-
American candidate. Dieken latch-
ed onto 29 passes for 486 yards
last year, and should be a threat
to anyone's defensive secondary.
