"In two weeks I'll tell you if
this is our best team ever," says
John McKay, USC's head foot-
ball coach, referring to his own
Rose Bowl bound Trojans. "We
have played better for ten weeks
than any team I've ever had,"
McKay reflected after his team
ripped past UCLA 24-7 for their
tenth win in a row this season
and a secure seat atop the na-
tional rankings.
Judging from this it would
seem that the survivor of the
Michigan-Ohio State head-knock-
ing Saturday in Columbus will
indeed have a monumental task
in Pasadena on New Year's Day.
McKay cited the "magnificent"
blocking of fullback Sam Cun-
ningham and the running of An-
thony Davis as keys to their of-
fensive success against UCLA. In
praising his star back, the Tro-
jan mentor stated, "Anthony
Davis played a super game
again. He's like (Mike) Garrett.
He has a lot of ability and he's
tough." Davis penetrated the
Bruin defense for 178 yards in 26
carries.
The tough USC defenders also
rose to the occasion Saturday,

(AFD's) has significantly increased the safety of all bindings.
As the snow season nears, we strongly recommend that everyone
have bindings checked and an AFD installed. For $3 to $9 you. can double
the safety of your bindings.
Come out and we'll be glad to show you the evidence.
