"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. SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: DAVE WEIR "The Funniest Entertainer in the World" -NEW YORK TIMES 44 - ' VICTOR BORG e~In, Th s.

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. MICHIGAN BELL WELCOMES FORMER OPERATORS TO ANN ARBOR.
