 After all, the time a boy spends in college learning football, he ought to have an opportunity to make use of what he has learned ' Dud adds that his Los Angeles Rams received 672 applications from players last year and about 5o0 this year, and some of them offered to play for almost noth- ing. i"

 Most of them have played four games, but Perry Moss of Illin- ois has completed 25 passes in three contests and Johnny Lujack of Notre Dame 'has been on the throwing end of 25 successful pitch es although the Irish have par ticipated in cnly two games
 Thc terrific pace being set in the aerial department is accented by the fact that Travis TidwSll of Auburn was leading the country at this roint year ago with 27 ocmpletions and that in the his tory of college football only two players have completed more than 100 passes in an entire season.
 Schwenk's Record
 Wilson (BuO Schwenk set the record when he hit IA for Wash ington University of St Louis in 1941 and Ray Evans of Kansas completed 10l in 1942.
 Tidwell completed only Te pass es last year when he led all the passers in the country.
 Olsen, CT any of dozen other aerial artists, could wipe out Schwenk's completion record as well as the mark of 1,457 yards gained on passes in a season - set by Davey O'Brien at Texas Christian in 1888 and tied by Schwenk in 1941.
 As matter of passing interest, Michigan's mighty Wolverines currently rated the country's best have averaged PAS years per game on passes and 479.3 yards by both rushing and passing to lead all teams in the nation on both counts.
 The individual offensive leader for the second straight week is Bobby Gage of Clemson, although he picked up only five yards against North Carolina State. Gage has covered 651 yards on 93 plays in four games.
