At 38. he has some regrets about leaving a job he has held since 1957 with the San Francisco 49ers. But at the same time, he is anxious to launch a new career of scier;:ific counseling to rehabilitate drug users, alcoholics and criminals through the Church of playing every weekend. But I've been doing it for 24 straight yuirs and that ought to be enough." Brodie, who has completed approximately 55 per cent of his 4,500 passes for 31,500 yards and 214 touchdowns, says there's no chance he'll change his mind about retiring when the 49ers close the season at home with Pittsburgh Dec. 15. But he's keeping an open mind regarding the possibility of coaching football some day. "I wouldn't have announced lnFina(e Mich.

Brodie confirmed upon his retirement he will begin receiving installments of a reported $900,000 to $1 million from club owners in the National Football League. That sum was paid to keep him from jumping to Houston of the younger American Football League and triggered a' merger of the two leagues in 1966. "All of that happened years ago and I don't remember all the details," confessed John, "but the facts and figures reported at the time were pretty accurate."

He also was troubled by a sore elbow on his throwing arm a few years ago but credits Scientology's "spiritual consultations" with curing the soreness. Turning to the past is something Brodie doesn't particularly relish. But he does remember the 1965 season in which he completed 62 per cent pf his passes for 3,112 yards and 30 touchdowns. "That was a memorable year and we had some great talent. Backs like John David Crow and Ken Willard.

"Still we finished with only a Brodie finally directed the 49ers to their first division titles but San Francisco in never got to the Super Bowl. Asked if he has any regrets about his 17 years with the 49ers, Brodie said, "I'm not one that hangs long on that stuff. It's been my whole life and it gave me a whole bunch of what I've got." Despite being an outstanding golfer and playing once in the U.S. Open, Brodie says there's "absolutely no chance" of him becoming a pro golfer. not "That's my among 1970-71-7- 2 priorities." - The way NEW YORK ( UPI ) they're tossing out college football Bowl bids of late, Iowa's Lauterbur should've Frank stayed around a little longer. Even with an 0 record his team might have been inyited. 'Tis the reason, of course, where bowl promoters across the country, bubbling over with are scrambling enthusiasm, about to fill their "classics" with what they call "good attractions." Translated, that means the teams which will bring in the most fans and make the most money for everybody involved. This explains partly why the official "bid date" set down by the National Collegiate Athletic Association is completely ignored by both the colleges and the bowl promoters. After all, nobody ever mac a big buck by watching his competitors hire off all the best people. So if the premature leaks of the Sugar and Orange Bowl bids you, surprised they really shouldn't have.

Of course, what keeps all of these annual events be it the Rose or the Bowl going are the television contracts. Only the Tangerine Bowl does not enjoy this luxury, which explains why a larger stadium filled with enthusiastic Florida fans did not deter the piomoters from slipping Miami of Ohio a fast one. "As far as I'm concerned, they might just as well issue all the bowl bids on Sept. 1," said Bergstrom, "and if a team goes well, that's just tough." 1 ).
