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."

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.

The vast ma- jority have other occupations and still find time to don their strip- ed shirts and white caps in . as many as thirty-five games a sea- son. 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. rough 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- Gorgeous grabbers go for grid glory. / road 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." By MICHAEL OLIN 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.

If Alvarez can overcome, of all things, a case of gout in his knee, he will surely overcome the oppos- ing defenders. 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. .4± / I I I I k1 I- 4 4
