THRU SAT. 9-6 SALE IN EFFECT THRU SATURDAY, 11-15-80 4 By RON POLLACK Should Michigan be knocked out of Rose Bowl contention by either Purdue or Ohio State, Bo Schembechler and his troops need not cancel plans for a holiday trip. They will merely have to rearrange them. Instead of journeying to-Pasadena, the Wolverines would find themselves in any one of a number of bowls, according to various bowl officials. Bowls showing interest in Michigan include the Fiesta, Gator, Sun, Astro- Bluebonnet, Peach, Tangerine and Liberty bowls. Other bowls considering the Wolverines are the Sugar and Cotton Bowls. However, the Wolverines must either lose or the one of their two remaining games against Purdue this Saturday or Ohio State November 22. "We feel that we can get a team with a little better record (than Michigan)," said Cotton Bowl Executive Vice-President Jim Brock. But Sugar Bowl President Mike Smith overlooked ;the Wolverines' losses, saying, "Despite their (Michigan) three losses, they would add a national flavor." Realistically speaking, Michigan has a far better chance of going to a minor bowl should they have three or four losses, than a major bowl. According to several published reports, an agreement that would automatically send the Big Ten runner-up to the Fiesta Bowl has been reached by bowl officials. When asked to confirm or deny the reports a Fiesta Bowl spokesman said, "This is incorrect. We are looking at the Big Ten runner-up, but are not necessarily inviting them." Michigan Athletic Director Don Canham and Assistant Athletic Director Will Perry were not available for comment yesterday. The Fiesta Bowl would be of interest to Michigan because it is one of the most financially rewarding minor bowls. It is reported that each team playing in this game will receive between $400,000 and $480,000. Another interesting bowl possibility for the Wolverines would be the Peach Bowl. According to a Peach Bowl official, North Carolina would be the preferred team for one of the bids. Hence, if the Wolverines were to go to this bowl, they would have the opportunity to even the score with a Tar Heel team that upset them 17-15 in last year's Gator Bowl. GRIDDE PICKS It was a bad week all over for Jimmy Carter. Not only did Georgia's favorite son get booted out of the White House last week, but he fared miserably in his Gridde picks as well. Carter picked a dismal five games correctly out of 20, putting him dead last among all the en- tries. On the other hand, it was a good week for the Republicans and Greg. Hathaway of 2225 S. Seventh.
