JOHN DAVIDSON AT NOTRE DAME (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). Singers John Davidson and Judy Collins, Comedian George Carlin and the Notre Dame Glee Club rally for a homecoming-weekend concert...
Mighty Notre Dame, No. 1 in 1966, was tapped to be champion again, followed by Alabama (No. 3 last year), Michigan State (No. 2), Texas, Miami, Georgia, U.S.C., U.C.L.A., Tennessee and Colorado. Yet as of the first week in October, the top five favorites had won only seven of 15 games after one of the most disastrous early seasons in anybody's history...
...Notre Dame made mincemeat of California and Iowa (41-8, 56-6), but in between was sorely embarrassed by a 28-21 upset at the hands of Purdue's unranked Boilermakers. Alabama was lucky to emerge with a 37-37 tie against equally unranked Florida State, before getting up steam against little Southern Mississippi and Ole Miss. Michigan State suffered the humiliation of a decade, losing 37-7 to a surprising Houston team that everybody had overlooked, lost again to U.S.C. before finally posting a win over Wisconsin. Texas?

Michigan State, Texas, Miami and Tennessee were nowhere to be found in the top ten. Alabama was rated seventh, and Notre Dame was languishing unhappily in the No. 5 spot. But it's a long season, and as the Fighting Irish's Coach Ara Parseghian says: "Nobody wants to be No. 1 in September-only in December." Not that Ara can expect to find any surprises in his own Christmas stocking...
Columbia University's current $200 million fund drive is centered around the creation of 100 new academic chairs, each to be backed by $750,000 in endowed funds. A primary goal of a new $52 million academic-improvement program at Notre Dame is to set up 40 endowed chairs at $500,000 each. Harvard, which has more than 300 endowed chairs, has been able to create 90 of them since 1959. The public universities are eying the same kind of financial help. The University of Minnesota is trying to find donors for 20 chairs, while Wisconsin already...
