"California has been optimistic
right from the beginning of fall
practice. We know we are going
to have a winning season, and we
know we are better than Oregon
State," enthuses Cowan.
Just One of the Boys
Part of the reason for the lib-
eral predictions at Berkeley is
defensive back Wayne Stewart-a
6'7 sophomore who holds the re-
bound record for freshman cagers
at Cal
Stewart gathered in three er-
rant passes last weekend, racing
one back past startled Cougars for
six points and tieing the confer-
ence record for interceptions in a
single game.
He was almost impressive enough
to start UCLA thinking about in-
troducing Lew Alcindor as a line-
backer.
Six-Man Line
Cal's defensive formation, para-
doxically enough, is nearly a repli-
ca of the one Oregon State em-
ployed against Michigan Saturday.
Dennis Bugbee, who was expected
to start at defensive tackle, in-
jured his knee in last week's prac-
tice and is out for the season. The
remainder of the defensive squad,
on the other hand, is notably
healthy and experienced.
On offense, however, California
is weighted down with an interior
line of five greenhorn linemen who
have slowed up the "root hog or
die" cry of Willsey's backs.
The Bears do, though, have a
plethora of "Hula Hip Hermans"
in the backfield. Willsey has been
utilizing Rick Bennett, 'a 9.8 man
in the 100 and one of the most
highly-touted sophomores on the
coast, as a power runner in his
Slot-T offense.
Option-Play Berry
Quarterbacking will be veteran
southpaw Dan Berry, who has
grown up with- the Wllsey-taught
option play and is a master at the
bootleg. Berry is also the Golden
Bear punter and has been drafted
as a "future" by both pro leagues.
His ends, both of whom are sen-
iors, will be 6'3" John Beasley and
5'11" Jerry Bradley.
Bradley, according to Fitzgerald,
"seems to be able to catch every-
thing thrown near him" and
could keep Michigan's pass de-
fenders on the lookout.
'However, "California used the
same basic ground attack through
all of its games last year." points
out Fitzgerald, 'so we don't anti-
cipate any radical change for Sat-
urday's game."
But then, the game is at Berkeley.

An Old Elixer
For Ailing Irrationalists
"Interest in sports is a flaw in our national character. This
interest is basically irrational. Athletics interferes with the
discipline of the mind . .
-University of California Prof. James B. Hall
So that's the word, huh, J.B. And I guess in my position, I'm
extra undisciplined and irrational.
Well, this weekend I'll be out at Berkeley, and maybe you can
show me the ordered multiversity. See, at our little place, the athletic
department is separate from the administration, and do you know
that the administration makes more mistakes at window A in one
hour than our football team does in one season.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Fritz Crisler should be
living in that ugly grey house on South University. I wouldn't dare
suggest that Ticket Manager Don Weir could do a better job of pro-
viding equitable seating for Hill Auditorium concerts.,.I'll never even
hint that Dave Strack might be more efficient it rkin|in lcholars
or 55 million bucks.
After all, these guys are disorganized. They could be noble guys,
but darn that one tragic flaw. They don't put hockey and Cazzie
Russell in the same class as mail order shot guns, Ma Barker, and
vivisection.
But what about me, teacher. Fritz and that crowd is just
about through. I'm just a kid starting out in the world. Am I
doomed Just 'cause I'm a Cub fan? A poor example. Am I doomed
Just because I'm a Michigan fan? Will the grad schools turn me
down as inferior if I Identify Branch Rickey as a baseball execu-
tive instead of a lawyer?
I protest. If I weren't interested in sports, my newly organized
computer cranium would put me in the nut house. And frankly, pal, I
think you're kind of messed up yourself.
I freely confess to dreaming about Rose Bowls when I should be
reading Gertrude Stein. And sometimes Brothers mean Paul instead
of Karamazov.
But Professor, didn't you ever get mad enough out at Cal to call
Mario Savio a wop or Ronald Reagan .the worst George Gipp in
cinema history? Maybe, you're too' disciplined. But sometimes little
atoms of my life blow up into bubbly molescules. Like when my
friendly book store is the only authority on campus who .knows that
one of my courses was cancelled. Or when my two month old car gets
two ,punctured tires in ten days. And I lose my glasses fixing the
second one. (The first one had me flummoxed, and I had to get help
from the Highway Patrol.)
Well, those are the times I appreciate a Vidmer to Clancy
pass. Even an interception can't ruin my enthusiasm. That's when
sports does its good deed and prevents me from attacking the
first vending machine that steals my .copper center quarter.
Maybe I'm not a product of the enlightenment, but sports soothes
my soul better than any psychiatrist could.
How rational is the non-sporting world anyway? I'll bet the first
Negro to be accepted at Alabama runs the hundred in :09.6 and
catches everything in sight.
Go ahead and call sports cheap escapism. I'll stick to the football
game this Saturday. Maybe I'll see you floating over the Stadium
during an LSD trip.
