and sportscasters. after a
week long tour of the ten prac
tice camps, took a vote in
which a perfect score would be
370 Johnny Vaught's crew

don't sec much hope this year
for ex-Notre Darner Johnny

MISSISSIPPI State, still
trying to achieve respectability
in the state heretofore ruled by
Ole Miss, is last at 50 points
