Pitt, Clemson retain
top spots in ratings
United Press International
NEW YORK — Washington and Iowa, who will
be banging helmets in the Rose Bowl a few weeks
from now, today are rubbing elbows in the UPI
Board of Coaches weekly poll.
While the top five college football teams held
their positions for just the second time this season,
Washington and Iowa made the biggest jumps in the
ratings announced Monday, to Nos. 10 and 11, re
spectively.
Sugar Bowl-bound Pittsburgh, 10-0 with a game
on Saturday against Penn State, became the first
team to retain the No. 1 rating for four consecutive
weeks. The Panthers, riding a 17-game winning
streak, received 39 of the 42 first-place votes cast by
the coaches — six from each of seven geographical
sections of the country — on UPI’s Board.
Pittsburgh, which posted a 35-0 victory over Tem
ple on Saturday, received 627 points, one less than
last week to easily outdistance No. 2 Clemson, which
received the remaining three first-place votes and
totaled 578 points. The Tigers, who completed their
first undefeated regular season in 33 years, will meet

In its best national finish ever,
the Texas A&M women’s cross
country team placed 18th in Satur
day’s Association of Intercollegi
ate Athletics for Women national
meet in Pocatello, Idaho.
Iowa State University won the
5000-meter competition with 80
points, and Purdue was second
with 110. The Aggies finished with
410 total points.
Marilee Matheny ran the best
time for the Aggies with an 18:44,
placing her 21st in a field of 193
runners from 22 schools.
Matheny’s time is the fastest an
Aggie has ever run in the AIAW
meet.
Barbara Collingsworth crossed
the finish line 24 seconds later to
finish 45th with a time of 19:08.
Suzanne Sheffield followed in the
73rd spot, notching a time of
19:42.
Coach Bill Nix said he had
hoped the Aggies might have run
better; but he was pleased with
the squad’s overall performance.
“We thought we’d finish higher,”
he said. "We thought we might be
able to finish in the top 12.”
Nix said the team’s fourth and
fifth finishers, under the pressure
of their first national meet, didn’t
post fast enough times for
team’s total score to be comp
the with the top 10orl2sdKi

Forty-six years later. Hank
Aaron, the man who passed Ruth

Lie down and be counted.
In America, 3% of the people give
100% of all the blood that’s freely
donated.
Which means that if only 1 % more
people—maybe you —
became donors, it would
add over thirty percent
more blood to America's
voluntary bloodstream.
Think of it!
But forget arithmetic. Just concen
trate on one word.
The word is Easy.
Giving blood is easy. You hardly
feel it (in fact, some people say they feel better
physically after a blood donation).
And, of course, everybody feels better
emotionally.
Because it’s a great feeling knowing your one
easy blood donation has helped up to five other
people to live.
So how about it, 1 % of America? Are you going
to lie down and be counted?
Call your local Red Cross Chapter, or your
community's volunteer blood bank. We need you
now.
