would assure them of that trip Terry Donahue the sophomore coach for the Bruins will be looking for his first trip quarterback Rick bayaw a sophomore hurt most of the Season he may not play in this game but if he does he can do it all basore a 48% completion average seven of them for touchdowns one of bay Shore's favorite receivers Homer Butler number 18 the top receiver for the Bruins with 584 yards and four touchdowns and Butler can hurt you with his average nearly 25 yards per catch number nine quarterback Steve BookIt a junior from Newport Beach has filled in for Bay Shore the last five games bage the son of former pro quarterback Rudy bage Homer Butler is also one of his favorite receivers Bach doesn't throw often but when he does it's usually on the money he's completed nearly 60% of his passes halfback James Owens familiar to the 1976 Olympics he finished six in the high hurdles here's how he translates it on the grd iron he leads the rushers with 902 yards he could break the 1,000 yd Mark in that game tonight but there's more than one great runner for the Bruins this is running back theodus Brown a junior he's second among the UCLA bruan rushers 91 rushes 479 yards and

apologize to our viewers that because of of the shortness of time we have today we don't get to take a look at Southern Cal who UCLA is playing tonight at 9:00 on ABC but really should be a fantastic game tailback Charles White of course being ranked among uh some of the greats from one Frank gord's great lines is that not every kid can play tailback for southern cow but every kid wants to Rob Hurdle is a fine quarterback Randy Simon's an excellent wide receiver despite the fact that UCLA can go to the Rose Bow by winning people who figure odds on things like this figure that Southern Cal is the favorite in that game and it's going to be a great game I want to remind our viewers also in addition to the fact that John Robinson has an excellent team you know this is the year of the kicker in football and for some reason there's a great concentration of terrific kickers in the state of Texas now it's been said that Texans do things bigger and better than anyone else if you don't believe that just ask Tex but two of the great kickers in college football this year Russell Klan of Texas long he's one of the reasons the Longhorns are undefeated untied and number one in the nation and Tony Franklin of Texas A&M he's the Barefoot kicker and ABC's news is going to have a fine feature on those two kickers tonight on the ABC evening news with Harry rezner Barbara Walters and so I'm sure that all of you people want to tune in on that I wanted to go down and do that story of course I bet you spend a few few days down in Texas don't forget tomorrow uh Army and Navy after the pit
