Peter, Paul and Mary
For nostalgia s sake it s nice to
think that Peter, Paul and Mary are
back together again It 5 a little less
nice to listen to their newly released
album. 'Reunion'
One can't help but think that if given
some scrubby old guitars and locked in
an equally scrubby sound studio for a
couple of day, they would have pro¬
duced a better record something stuck
between two scratchy squares of card¬
board that one could identify by a
photograph of the wind blowin' some
one's hair on the cover   So much for
What was produced, however, was a
slick, sometimes saccharine recording
that while not destroying the memory
of the more pleasant sounds in the
60 s may dissolution followers concern
ing what Yarrow. Stookey and Travers
can do together in the 70 s
No song on -Reunion' is more disap¬
pointing than their rendition of Bob Dy¬
lan 5 "Forever Young ' If any song
could bring out the best of these three
talented people this would seem to be
it  Unfortunately it wasn' t
In somebody's infinite wisdom it
was decided that a cross between a dis

Vocally the group has witnessed the

A preview of the season's grid action
A plethora of Bowl games for holidays
By BOS JACOBS
The holiday season always brings
with it a plethora of exciting college
football bowl games, and this season
promises to be no exception. The
games  and   predictions  are  outlined

AND CIVE  YOU  YCW WW  |D. CAM)
Garden State Bowl (1-/1-) Arizona
State (8-3) vs Rutgers (9-2)-This new
bowl to be played in East Rutherford,
New Jersey gives Rutgers a chance to
show what they can do against a legiti¬
mate major football power. The Sun
Devils, following a fairly successful
inaugural season in the Pac-10, should
show Rutgers how lucky they have
been to limit themselves to local
competition. Arizona State 41, Rut-
Hall of Fame Came (12/20) Texas
A A M (7 3) vs Iowa State (8-3)--The
Aggies had another close but no cigar
season in the tough Southwestern Con¬
ference, and their outstadSpg defense
should prove too much »<lowa State
to  handle    Texas   A   4   M   20,   Iowa
Holiday Bowl (12/22) Brigham Young
(8 3) vs Navy (7-3)-Navy really had
their followers excited until they
demonstrated that they had feet of
.lay late in the season They do have a ■
tine defensive unit, but Brigham Young
is out of their league Brigham Young
II  Navy 10
Sun Bowl (12/23) Maryland (8-2) vs
Texas (7 3)-An unusually fine matchup
tor this bowl, these two teams both
i rept into the top 5 nationally at various
times during the season. Maryland
looked overrated against Penn State,
but Penn State might legitimately be
one of the best teams around this sea¬
son Still, Texas should recover suffici¬
ently from their shocking loss to Baylor
to nip the Terrapins in a close game.
Texas 24, Maryland 21.
Liberty Bowl (12/23): Missouri (7-4) vs
LSU (7-3)-Another good matchup, with
the exciting running of LSU's Charles
Alexander the main attraction Louisi¬
ana State was very highly regarded
early in the season and should prevail
in another hard-fought contest. LSU 27,
Missouri 24.
rf   (12/23):
(8-3) vs North Carolina .State (B-3)-The
Wolf pack is finally earning some recog¬
nition in football, and a win in this bowl
would really help their recruiting.
Pittsburgh players may be a little dis¬
appointed following their heartbreak
loss to Penn State, but they have more
thai) enough talent to prevail-here.
Pittsburgh 31, North Carolina State 14
Peach Bowl (12/2S): Purdue (8-2-1) vs
Ceorgia Tech (7-4)~Tbe Engineers of
Pepper Rodgers came through with one
of their best seasons of recent years
with the popular Pepper's job on the
line They will be sky-high for this
game, and playing in Atlanta is not
going to hurt. Purdue has a good pass¬
ing game, but will not be able to hold
off the momentum Ceorgia Tech 24,
Purdue 14.
Fiesta Bowl (12/25) UCLA (8-3) vs
Arkansas (9 2J-UCLA had high hopes
of going to the Rose Bowl, and their
players were bitterly disappointed
when they lost to USC   UCLA embar¬
rassed themselves last time they went
to a non-Rose Bowl bowl game, and
that pattern will repeat against a good
Razorback team Arkansas 31, UCLA
17
Gator Bowl (12/29) Clemson (10-1) vs
Ohio State (7-3-1) -Crusty old Woody
Hayes deserves credit for getting seven
wins out of a very ordinary team at
Ohio State Clemson has one of their
best teams ever, and playing in the
Bhisbomwt Bowl (12/31): Stanford
(7-4) vs Ceorgia (9-1-1)-Look for the
biggest upset of the bowl games here.
The Bulldogs are tough defensively,
but they hgve not faced any passers
like Stanford's Steve Oils. The Cardi¬
nals rise up for big games, and will
surprise everyone with a decisive win
here. Stanford 35. Ceorgia 17.
Cotton Bowl (1/1): Notre Dame (8-3) vs
Houston (8-2) -The Fighting Irish jelled
late this season under Dan Devine, and
after their performance against USC in
Los Angeles rate as one of the top
teams in the nation right now. Houston
is a fine team, and will be able to keep
it close because of the Texas locale of
the game, but Notre Dame will win it.
Notre Dame 27, Houston 17
Sugar Bowl (1/1) Penn State (11-0) vs
Alabama (9-1)-ln what should be the
best of the bowl games. Bear Bryant
will have an opportunity to make up for
what he feels was a lost chance for a
national title by depriving Joe Pater-
no's Nittany Lions of aff undefeated
season. Penn State can win that title
for the first time in their history by
beating llama, but the Crimson Tide
will rise up behind that vocal southern
support and hand Penn State their only
loss of the year. Alabama 24, Penn
State 20
Orange Bowl (1/1): Nebraska (9-2) vs
Oklahoma (10-1)-It's revenge time for
the Sooners, whose loss to Nebraska
cost them a national championship.
They might still sneak in to that title
with a decisive win here, but while
Oklahoma will probably prevail, the
Cornhuskers are too good to get
swamped. Oklahoma 31, Nebraska 24.
Rose Bowl (1/1): Michigan (10-1) vs
Southern California (10-1) -The grand-
daddy of the bowl games does not have
a great show this year because Michi¬
gan does not have a great team and
because Michigan seems to represent
the Big 10 every year. They came to
Pasadena last season touted as a super
team and were thoroughly embar¬
rassed by a University of Washington
team that was probably not the best in
the Pac-o. After consecutive wins over
UCLA and Notre Dame, USC is the best
team In America right now and will
have little trouble with the Wolverines.
USC 31, Michigan 10   .
