Ohio State is the Harmon National Champion for 1968 with Penn State finishing in the run
ner-up position. In last year’s final ratings, Penn State was 10th, the Buckeyes were 35th.
With an average power quotient of 104.7, there was more football POWER jammed into the Top
Twenty Teams this year than in any other year. And no less than fourteen of these teams are in
volved in Bowl Games which should make for some of the finest post season entertainment foot
ball fans have ever enjoyed.
The biggest mover among the top powers was Florida State. The Seminoles clobbered North
Carolina State. Wake Forest, and Houston in their final three games to move from almost no
where into the No. 10 spot in the final ratings.
Just a note about the ratings of the Top Forty Teams: Please keep in mind that a team’s
rating is based on the AVERAGE of its performance against ALL opposition through the entire
season. A team’s won and lost record has no bearing on its national position. Calibre of compe
tition is a major factor in determining a team’s rating.
For the third consecutive year, the powerful Southeast Conference ranks Number One among
the more than 65 football conferences in the country. However, they just nosed out the strong
Big Eight Conference which moved from 5th place last year to the runner-up spot in 1968.
The Pacific Coast Conference, Southwest Conference, and Big Ten each dropped a notch
to 3rd, 4th, and 5th respectively. To repeat once again: These ratings are based on each
league's power quotient average, determined from the ratings of all teams in every conference.
Here are the twenty strongest conferences in the nation-
1 - Southeast Conference 95.36
2- Big Eight Conference 94.13
3- AAWU (Pacific Coast) 92.79
4- Southwest Conference 92.53
5- Big Ten Conference 89.91
6- Atlantic Coast Conference 86.09
7 - Western Athletic Conference 79.89
8- Missouri Valley Conference 77.47
9- Mid-American Conference 76.49
10-Ivy League 71.70
11- Gulf States Conference 70.10

PC Places Six
On All-Carolinas
Presbyterian College's foot
ball team continued to garner
post-season football honors this
week as six squad members were
named to the All-Carolinas Con
ference team.
Dan Eckstein, who was named
to the Associated Press first
team small college All-America
earlier, was the only player to
be named to both the offensive
and defensive units. This is the
second straight year that Eck
stein was named to both teams.
With a2-5recordattheChrist-
mas holiday break, the Presby
terian College basketball Blue
Hose still have a rough road to
travel but Coach Herb Robinson
sees some encouraging signs in
his young squad.
“We've come along real well
so far," he said, “We've been
up against some tough clubs and
we still have a rough schedule
ahead but before the year is over,
we'll come up with some inter
esting games."
The l ose lost 65-61 to Pfeiffer
last Thursday in closing their
pre-holiday schedule.
Robinson said, “We played a
fine defensive game against
Pfeiffer. They're a high scoring
club and had averaged 90 points
a game before we went against
them. We held them to 2(J field
goals and that's a good defensive
performance. In fact, we had 27
Clinton 2-3
At Holiday
Schedule Break
Clinton High School's basket
ball team suffered a 76-39
trouncing at Newberry Tues-
night and closed its pre-holiday
schedule with a 2-3 record.
The CHS Junior Varsity lost
48-36 and wound up with an 0-5
mark. John Jacks scored 11 points
for the JVs.
Varsity Coach Tommy Sublett
commented, “We had a terrible
night, both offensively and de
fensively. We haven't shot well
in any of our games but our de
fense has been fairly good. De
fense helped us beat Laurens
twice and kept the score re
spective against Belton-Honea
Path. However, against New
berry, we couldn t do anything
right.
"We hit only 24 per cent of our
shots and they hit 55 per cent.
Our defense let up and they got
a lot of easy shots. We also did
a poor job of rebounding and got
only 13 defensive rebounds.
“In five games, we haven't hit
over 37 per cent of our shots.
In the Newberry game, we hit
only 19 per cent in the second
half and got only six field goals.
Torrence Shealy led Clinton’s
scorers with 12 points and Jack
Prater contributed 11
Clinton's next scheduled game
will be at York Jan. 3. The team
originally was scheduled to play
in the Chester Invitational Tour
nament starting Dec. 26 but the
tournament has been canceled.
Sublett said, “We'll work over
the holidays. Maybe we can use
the lay-off to iron out some of our
weaknesses.
Other Blue Hose on the All-
Carol mas team are end Dowl
Thompson, tackle Shell Dula and
guard Ed Paulling on the defen
sive team and tackle Charlie Reid
on the offensive unit.
Lenoir Rhyne also captured
six berths on the 26-man squad.
6-4 sophomore forward from
Louisville, Ky., Kerchner missed
the pre-holiday games because of
a facial injury.
P.C. has a 1-4 Carolinas Con
ference record. “Our goal is to
make the Carolinas Conference
Tournament this year,"Robinson
said.
The top 10 teams in the 12-
team league are invited to the
tournament. P.C. has never made
the tournament field, Robinson
said, but “that’s what were
shooting for this year."
The Blue Hose will return to
action Jan. 11 at Erskine and will
play host to Appalachian on Mon
day, Jan. 13.
