NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Except for
all-conquering Notre Dame and
once-tied Pennsylvania, five Of the
Nations seven undefeated major
college football teams today were
either bowl-bound or were awaiting
"feelers" to participate in post
season clashes.
Three of these elite elevens, Mich

with a spotless slate, and once-tled
Southern California already were
'in" no matter what happened from
here on in. The other two, un-
scathed Penn State and twice-dead-
locked Kansas, haven't received any
definite offers, but both were re-
ported being under consideration
for appearances in bowl games.
Undefeated Notre Dame already
has announced its antipathy toward
any post-season games as has once
tied Penn. Each still has one game
to play on its regular season sched-
ule, the Irish meeting Southern
California in a decisive game De-

Can't Find Home Chicago Man
 Hangs Himself

CHICAGO o, (P) - Since last spring Raymond Thill, Al, spent most of his spare time hunting for a place to live for his wife and six young children.
 He always received the same discouraging answer from land lards: 'No, we couldn't possibly rent to anyone with six childcen.' '
 After Thill's family had been evicted from their home last spring, he succeeded in finding one-room flat for his wife and their baby son of less than year. Four other children were sent 10 children'S home and the eldest child, Raymond, Jr., 12, went to the country and lived with rela tiveS.
 The boy returned to the one room flat when school reopened and Thill slept in one of the park ed vans owned by the storage company where he was employed. Earlier this week the children's home advised him he must fine a place for his four children or the home would start court a;t:on to declare them abandoned.
 Yesterday Rogers Park police were called to the storage com pany after employees had found Thill's body hanging from a rope from an upper beam of a parked van.
