Amos Bullocks, Southern's star halfback was sitting in the TV lounge of the new University Center discussing, of all things, football.
Bullocks, who has been starring in the Saluki backfield far three years, gained his 1, 720th yard in last Saturday's game against Central Michigan.
The 6-1, 195 pound Chicago senior has received feelers from almost every team in the National Football League. He has also been invited to play in the All-American Bowl game in Arizona in December.
"My playing in the bowl depends upon our season." said Bullocks. "If we have a good year and get a bowl invitation my plans might change."
Although Bullocks has done everything possible on a football field except go into the stands and setl programs, he still looks forward to his Oct. 14th encounter with Western IlLinois' Little All- American LeRoy Jackson.
This rivalry dates back to high school days when both performed for Chicago area high schools. BuLstarred for Dunbar while Jackson played for Bloom Township High.
In college both have torn up the IIAC. Jackson last year led the conference in searing and was named Little All-American. During the 1060 season Bullocks was the league's rushing title.
"There's nothing I would like better than to win the scoring title and the rushing title in my last year at Southern, " said Bullocks.
