Vols Liked By 19 Over Engineers Our vote for the roughest schedule among our top teams - at least over a period of three weeks - would have to go to Oklahoma. The 4th-ranked Sooners played Southern Cali fornia in Los Angeles two weeks ago, and then met Miami in Florida last week. Saturday, they have a date with Texas in Dallas. Quite a road trip! Last year, the Sooners whipped Texas, 27-0, and this year they’re favored by 6 points. The Longhorns are rated 15th in the nation. Alabama booms on in pursuit of the Southeast Conference championship. The Tide is still Number Two in our ratings, and if they follow form - which they have a consistent habit of doing - they’ll whip Florida this week by 34 points. Another power with title hopes in the Southeast is Tennessee. The Volunteers are No. 12 in the country, and are matched against independent Georgia Tech. Tennessee won’t have an easy day against the Engineers, but they’ll win it by 19 points. On the West Coast, the once-tied Trojans of Southern Cal go after another confer ence win. They meet Washing ton State, and again they may make work of winning. The 6th ranked Trojans are favored by 21 points. Two weeks ago, Nebraska almost stumbled over the Badgers of Wisconsin, winning by just 4 points with a touchdown in the closing minutes. 3rd-ranked Ohio State runs into those same Badgers this week, and it’s no secret that Wisconsin is looking for an upset. Last year, the Buckeyes had a tendency to loaf through the easier games -and they came close to losing one or two. This year it hasn’t been that way, and it had better not be in this one . . Ohio State to top Wisconsin by nineteen. Michigan, No. 5, will keep pace with Ohio State in the Big Ten conference race as well as on the national scene, beating Michigan State in their traditional game. The Wolve rines figure to be 18 points stronger than the Spartans. The Big Eight features real match-up between national powers within the conference. And it should be a real crowd-pleaser. Nebraska, still No. 1, meets the Tigers of Missouri, No. 13. The Cornhus kers are fresh from lacing Minnesota, and Mizzou won its fourth game of the season, beating strong S. M. U. Missouri did some spectacular upsetting during the 1972 football season, and they’re in position to do a headliner in this one . . they’re 17 points underdogs.

He is to be congratulat ed for that. It was a decision tha t required careful study and thought, a decision that proba bly will be the first step toward anew approach to solid waste management in the country.” R. S.

Huber Corporation, Twiggs County, Georgia. Howard emphasized that the Division’s concurrence with the pro posed site does not authorize the operation of the sanitary landfill. The State must now be provided a detailed plan documenting that the solid waste will be placed in the abandoned mine by methods that will prevent any local nuisances or other environ mental problems. The plan must also provide an accept able monitoring and surveil lance program. The State Environmental Protection Division’s position on approval of the proposed site relates to the following: 1. A careful and detailed evaluation of the proposed landfill site has convinced us that no environmental de gradation would result from solid waste disposal there in accordance with all state regulations promulgated under the State Solid Waste Management Act of 1972, As amended. 2. Prior to initiation erf any Mrs. Claudie Butler and John King visited Friday in Griffin with Mr. and Mrs. Billy Butler and family and with Clifford Butler. Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. C.

Bobby also plans to play varsity basketball this year. disposal operations adequate safeguards, including monitor ing and surveillance, would be established to prevent air pollution and pollution of surface and sub-surface waters. The site location, in a sparsely settled area in the midst of large-scale kaolin mining, would not become a public nuisance or a noise pollution problem. 3. The proposed sanitary landfill operation has a great potential for solving a serious solid waste management prob lem for Twiggs County as well as for other counties and cities in Georgia. In Twiggs County alone over 150 roadside dumps were identified 5 years ago. Presently Twiggs County resi dents are served by a single open-burning dump. 4. It is an innovative project that can contribute significant ly to the national problem of safe disposal of municipal solid waste. 5. The project could result in elimination of unsightly spoil banks, ugly concavities, and control of soil erosion in an area containing an estimated 50,000 acres of “orphan lands,” abandoned as useless for decades. It could stimulate land reclamation in this State and in other parts of the U. S. A.

Mr. Westbury will be president of the nursing home association beginning in July. He pointed out that the nursing homes in Georgia are the only programs facing a possible 6.5 percent cut in funding.
