The additional money would bring the total annual con tribution to $5.1 million. Miller said he met with the Player Relations Committee, which includes league presidents Joe Cronin of the American and Warren Giles of the National, (EJyi^uhjOnjOJt For Complete Insurance Service Dial 823-8231 Ray Criswell, Sr.; Ray Criswell, Jr. “Insure Well With Criswell” 2201 S.

Tuesday. “This is t h e ir first proposal and it is inadequate and outrageous,” Miller said. “Near the end of the meeting they gave us a press release. The written statement is as fraudulent as anything I have ever seen.” “It pretends,” Miller added, “that they have made an offer which will permit a substantial increase in the pension benefits for the players. The offer actu ally will permit no increase in benefits to the players whatso ever. Major league expansion plus the owners insisting on pay ing off the unfunded liability of the pension plan at a faster rate than ever before would reach the $5.1 million total they pro pose.” The majority of the players, through their club representa tives, have announced they would not sign their 1969 contracts un less additional television revenue received by the clubs is placed in the pension fund. •i r. M However, the owners, in pre senting Tuesday’s proposal, stressed their recommendation had nothing to do with base ball’s revenue from national ra dio and television. * Pill ON THE MOVE Senior guard Sonny Benefield drives toward the right com er on the way to two of his six points against the Stephen F.

Whatever area you choose, we think you’ll agree with John: “Getting my MBA was worth the extra effort.” John earned his MBA in 1966. He now sells IBM computers to mutual funds, banks and other financial institutions. “It’s a management consulting job,” he says. “The reason is, computers affect nearly every area of a business. I get involved with a customer’s accounting, finance, and marketing. Which means I have to know something about each of these areas. So I’m constantly using the broad scope of knowl edge I picked up in graduate school.” “And when you’re working with people on that level, you need the management tools you get in graduate school. If a customer starts talking about a regression analysis, I can stay with him. Or, I might get involved in a linear programming study to determine the optimum stock mix for a portfolio.

Just to prove that it can be done, this column willk two sets of scores for each of the eight major bowl ga® The first score for each game will be the one that this writ; would most like to see while the second is how the gau will actually end up. Personal prejudices are rampant: the first set while they are hopefully absent in the secoti GATOR BOWL Alabama 30, Missouri 6—There are no particular fe ings here one way or another about Missouri, but Ft “Bear” Bryant and his Crimson Tide have long been i ized. Alabama 17, Missouri 14—This is one of the younjE Tide teams in years and by the end of this season theyh just re-established themselves as a powerhouse. Missouri defense should be able to hold down the ‘Bama offas but its offense will have troubles of its own. SUN BOWL Auburn 24, Arizona 21—The only wish in this gair- for a close, well-played battle that will make interop viewing. Auburn 28, Arizona 10—If Auburn comes anywte close to matching their performance against Tennessee, could be the type of game that makes TV comme welcomed relief.

Oklahoma 31, SMU 28—A real high-scoring mat seems imminent in this game. Steve Owens should be ai> to help his team keep the ball enough to stop the Ck Hixson to Jerry Levias show. ROSE BOWL Ohio State 28- USC 0—The Trojans were ranked it- ber one for most of the season when at no time didtti deserve the honor. It is about time the myth is exploi for once and for all and the Buckeyes should be the tea to do it. Ohio State 21, USC 14—O. J. Simpson alone makes'it Trojans a threat but compared with the talent on thee tional champions, this is small a consolation.

Kansas 35, Penn State 20—The Jayhawks, under tliii brilliant Coach Pepper Rodgers, have become the surpri team of college football.

Arkansas 24, Georgia 21—The “Kiddie Corps of t Hills” had jelled into one of the finest teams in the coi by season’s end and they should give a hint of their comii domination in this game.
