Morris is the country's leading scorer with 108 points and the top ground gainer with 1,459 yards. Hixson leads in total offense with 2,368 yards and in passing with 56.8 per cent of his passes completed for 2,439 yards. According to the National Collegiate Sports Service, Morris can break the season rushing record if he gains 112 yards in his final game against Colorado State U.

Saturday. The record of 1,570 is held by Fred Wendt of Texas-El Paso. However, Morris is only one point ahead of Jim O'Brien of Cincinnati in the scoring race and O'Brien has two games left. Another Cincinnati player, Greg Cook, is second to Hixson in both total offense, 2,306 yards, and passing, 50.5 per cent for yards. Danny Pitcock of Wicbita is the leading punter with a 42.5 average, Jerry Levias of SMU is tops in pass receiving with 66 catches and Al Worley of Washington leads in pass inter ceptions with 13 TOTAL OFFENSE Play V.

tod jLaa.wwk mimwu' Associated Press NEW YORK Undefeated Penn State and Georgia have the inside track for the Orange Bowl and Tennessee the edge for the Sugar Bowl but all other pieces are scrambled in the post season college iootDau ngsaw puzzle. Some important decisions will be made at the end of critical games Saturday but two of the major bowls, Rose and Cotton must wait until Nov. 23 to seal i down their programs. Meanwhile, the preliminary 1 shopping for talent is the most spirited and confused in years and Jack Baldwin of Miami's Orange Bowl Committee prob- ably spoke for a lot of minds when he said Tuesday: 1 "It isn't; like the old day when there were a few top teams, such as Texas, Alabama and Oklahoma, to choose from College football is levelling off. There are now scores of top flight teams and they keep knocking each other off It tough on the selectors." Under National Collegiate Athletic Association rules; it is illegal to tap a team before the next-to-last Saturday in Novem ber in this case, Nov.

16. Here is the muddled bowl situ ation: ROSE BOWL Southern Cali fornia (7-0) and Ohio State (7-0) favored but Southern Cal must beat Oregon State (6-2) and Ohio State must top Iowa and Mich igan. Oregon Slate and Mich igan could get the bids if they should upset the No. 1 and No. 2 teams.

ORANGE BOWL Penn State (7-0), third-ranked nation ally, a cinch if it can beat Mary land Saturday. Georgia (6-0-2) will be the opponent if it can beat Auburn this week. Auburn also a possibility. SUGAR BOWL A strong edge to Tennessee (5-1-1) but the Vols must whip tough Mis sissippi (6-2) Saturday. Ole Miss remains a possibility if it can beat Tennessee.

High-scoring Kansas favored for the other spot if victorious over Kansas State. The sponsors can't afford to await the outcome of the Kan sas-Missouri game Nov. 23. COTTON BOWL The South-w Conference champion serves as the host team but this red-hot race is in a four-way tie among Texas, Texas Tech, Arkansas and Southern Methodist, all 4-1 in the league. Arkansas and SMU clash this week in Little Rock but' Ihe champion may jiot be decided until Arkansas and Texas Tech meet Nov.

23. If there's a three-way tie among Texas and Texas Tech, the latter will be picked because its last Cotton Bowl appearance predates the others. Missouri or one of the top Southeastern teams is likely to get the other spot. GATOR BOWL, Jacksonville, Dec. 28 It looks like Alabama and one of the left-over Southwest teams, Arkansas, Texas, SMU or Texas Tech.

BLUEBONNET BOWL, Houston, Dec. 31 Auburn and Alabama liked, possibly to oppose one of the Southwest teams. SUN BOWL, El Paso, Dec. 28 Mississippi, if it loses to Tennessee, against possibly Wyoming (6-2). LIBERTY BOWL, Memphis, Dec.

14 Mississippi high in favor as are and Alabama. There will be bidding also in the Southwest. Of the top 20 teams in the most recent Associated Press poll, only 11 are eligible for bowl consideration excluding Big Ten and Pacific Eight teams. There are seven major bowls outside the Rose Bowl, or 14 available spots. This is the dilemma major bowl sponsors are up against, which is ending the sentence with two prepositions and no propositions.

Ryan, who used to be a start er, lost his job to Bill Nelsen on Oct. 5. Collier put Ryan in against the New Orleans Saints Sunday in the fourth quarter and he got a mixed reception. "I disagree with booing people," Collier said. "It's just not right." Collier said Ryan is one of the four active quarterbacks in the National Football League who has taken a team to two con secutive conference championships.

The Browns won the East ern Conference title in 1964 and 1965 and the NFL title in 1964. "People have forgotten very quickly," Collier said. "It's a doggone shame. I'm for him. He's helped us and won for us." Ryan went into the game with 6:05 left but Collier said be made the decision when there were 11 minutes left.

"It took us forever to get the football," Col lier said. Ryan ran only three plays and the Browns punted. They never got the ball back in the 35-17 vic tory. Collier said he decided to put Ryan in because he hasn't played since late September and "he needed to get his feet on the ground." "If I had thought they would embarrass him I would have given it a second thought," he added. Ryan has been a particular target for hecklers the last couple of seasons and the Browns were 1-2 in the NFL's Century Division when Nelsen took over.

Cleveland now has won five of its last six with Nelsen at quar terback and lead the Division with a 6-3 mark. Boyling BHERM LOLLAE LAVES Automotive Williamson 223 and Hagen 628; Best-Built Parte 1042 and 2906. Outr p. Wilson 192 and B. Crdin J9; empire Bank 785 and 2217.

Asked about the Cardinals' prospects for winning a third straight pennant in the -National League, Schoendienst said, "It's difficult to say how we'll do. Only time will tell. But we must remember that the Cards won the pennant even though several key players didn't have good seasons.

This includes Orlando Cepeda and Tim McCarver. "Some people say the Cards rely too heavily on Bob Gibson for their pitching. No team ever has enough pitchers and we could use some help. We have several young pitchers in the minors who may be ready for the majors next season, One of them, Mike Torrez, is with us in Japan and looks pretty good. Torrez scattered seven hits Tuesday as the Cards won 5-3 over a team of players from the Yomiuri Giants and the Hiro shima Toyo-Carps.

Schoendienst said he thought the Cards had strengthened themselves with trades. The ac quisition of Vada Pinson from Cincinnati to take the place of outfielder Roger Maris, who is retiring, was one of the most important. "We are always interested in good trades," said the manager. "But I haven't heard anything lately from the front office." Schoendienst had a word of advice for future U.S. teams who plan to visit Japan.

"They should play in Japan right after the season ends at home," said Red. "The Cards came here 14 days after the World Series. It gave us two weeks of rest which doesn't seem much but it was enough time to get out of condition." Jacket Souvenir? Denny Thinks Not DETROIT (AP) -A missing $3,000 Persian lamb Nehru jacket which Detroit Tiger pitcher Denny McLain reported stolen while he was performing in a nightclub has turned up slightly ripped and missing a button. The Detroit News said Tuesday the coat was turned over to it Monday night by an ardent woman fan who said she thought McLain was giving it to her as a souvenir. McLain, who put the price tag on the missing coat, passed it around for inspection by his au dience during his performance at a Detroit night club last weekend.

She said McLain had used it to wipe up champagne from the floor. She didn't believe it really was the cele brated $3,000 jacket. When McLain passed it out to the front tables, the jacket wound up in the woman'a lap- ami she kept it. The woman told the news no thievery was intended and asked to remain anonymous.

"Can you do it again?" asked quarterback Loran Carter. "Listen, I've been sitting. on the bench too long not to be able to get two little yards," the second-string halfback replied and then promptly upheld his boast with a touchdown. Coupled with a touchdown pass he caught earlier and another he snared later, it provided the Tigers all the ammunition they needed in pulling off a 28-14 upset over fifth-ranked Tennessee last Saturday. For that achievement, the 5-foot-ll, 180-pound understudy from Oneonta, was named The Associated Press' college back of the week Tuesday.
