Bulletin
Prick Papanek, coach of the
Daily's lascivious Libels, told
his team in an electricity-filled
psych session last week that he
had reached an agreement with
one Jules Proboscis, coach of
the Southern Cal Leaky Tro-
jans, official organ of Tinsel
Town.
Prick and Jules agreed to ex-
change game films in anticipa-
tion of a December 31 meeting
in the second annual Ink Bowl
Classic.
Prick urged his forces not to
look past their next opponent
the Frieze Teasers, and as the
game began the Libels were as
baaad as ever. But early in the
second half, a train sped by
and whistle made a sound like
booooooooooooooooze!
Gorilla Greer said it was the
voice of God and the Libels
hightailed down the track in
search of the reapings. Five
minutes later the Teasers scor-
ed, but missed the extra point
and lost 56-55. But they put up
such a good fight that they hit
the national rankings.

WHAT MORE CAN WE SAY? That great American sports inven-
tion, the scoreboard, takes that great American spectacle, the
presidential election, to the patrons of a Parisian pub; spelling
out George McGovern's defeat in cruel black and white. But
after all, is politics any more than a game to be scored on a
chalk board? We at the Daily sports staff certainly don't know.

defensive coach Mel Robertson stating that he is "one
of the greatest secondary coaches in the United
States". The Aggie defense under Robertson, who
came to Texas A & M after seven years at Houston,
has allowed only one score.
All of the Texas A & M scoring came in the second
quarter on a field goal by Pat McDermott and a two
yard plunge by Brad Dusek. Arkansas could score
only on a two yard run by Marsh White in the final
period.
The season for Arkansas head coach Frank Broyles

have come over Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Baylor, TCU,

 Gridde Pickings I
ANN ARBOR-The Michigan rugby football club has been holding
closed practices at Flick's Bar in preparation for their Sunday blood-
bath against the LIBELS.
After the practice, rugger coach Happy Holloway informed the
press that he had been intently drilling his team in the finer points of
chugging Strohs and how to pick up a loose waitress in the open field.
Displaying the false confidence of the ruggers, Moons Kingsbury
verbalized, "Dem LIBELS ain't really never won a game (sic)."
If you get your picks to 420 Maynard by midnight Friday, you may
be able to enjoy your free Mr. Pizza pizza during Sunday's griddie
biggie.
