Mr. Riordan is a former member of the Irish Interna- tional Rugby Team and also represented the Emerald Isle in Olympic track competition. One of the original founders of the Philadelphia and Villanova Rugby Clubs in the early six- ties, Mr. Riordan is one of the most experienced rugby play- ers and coaches in the United States. To borrow a phrase from the Marine Corps, all the Wilkes- Barre Rugby Club needs is a few good men. Last season’s ranks of experienced players have thinned with college graduations and players moving out of the area. Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States and has long been perhaps the world’s premier contact sport.’ There is a place on’a Wilkes- Barre side for any man over the age of 16 who is willing to get in- to shape and learn the.funda- mentals of the game.

The high living for college football fans begins Saturday with such fare as UCLA-Tenn- essee and Arizona State-Houston. But first, in keeping with our tradition of preseason exhibi- tions, these nominations for leadership in 1974: Best majors -- Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State. Best minors -- Louisiana Tech, Boise State, Western Kentucky. Most improved -- Arizona, Maryland. Toughest schedules -- rado, Missouri, Iowa. This is purely speculation of course. The real story of the 1974 season will be told right here by the true experts, the teams themselves. Each week the teams will set their own ratings on the Dunkel College Football Index, now en- ‘tering its 46th year. Last season the Index again demonstrated its validity by designating win- ners in 75.4 percent of the 1,929 games covered. Here’s how the Index works. A team’s rating is a progressive Colo- 1004 and outscored it by an average of 24.3 points a game. Adding the two figures gave Oklahoma its No. 1 rating of 124.7. That showing, by the way, was the seventh highest in the history of the Dunkel Index. The highest remains 1945 Army with 138.7. Here’s our forecast for this season’s Top 25 (with last year’s final ranking in parenthesis): Oklahoma (1) Alabama (3) Ohio State (4) L.S.U. (16) . Notre Dame (2) . Michigan (6) . Maryland (19) .
