"Eventually," says UCLA Coach
Pepper Rodgers, "we'll beat a lot
of people."
By eventually, Rodgers apparent-
ly means he doesn't expect h i s
young, inexperienced Bruins, ex-
perimenting with the wishbone forI
the first time, to manhandle top-
rated Nebraska as the Corn-husk-
ers open their drive for a t h i r d
straight national title.
The Nebraska-UCLA game is one
of several key contests that high-
light today's rather heavy sched-
ule that gets the college football
campaign underway with a flourish.
The Colorado Buffaloes, 10-2 last
season and ranked No. 2 behind
Nebraska in The Associated Press
pre-season poll, plays California,
6-5 last season, on home grounds
at Boulder to head up the bill.
Other top games include the re-
newal of an ancient rivalry be-
tween No. 15 Tennessee and Geor-
gia Tech at Atlanta, and Florida
State's visit to Pittsburgh where
the Panthers also have installed the
Wishbone and returned 30 letter-
men from last year. The Seminoles
were ranked 19th in the top 20
poll.
Sharing the night spotlight with
Nebraska-UCLA are games involv-
ing No. 8 Southern California and
No. 4 Arkansas at Little Rock and
nuke testing No. 7 Alabama at
Birmingham.
Also of considerable interest:
Houston, which lost 15 starters
from its 9-3 team from last year,
embarks on a less demanding sch-
edule at Rice; and Toledo, com-
ing off an unbeaten 12-0 1971 sea-
son, puts its 35-game winning streak
on the line at Tampa where the
Spartans have not only a potent
offense but a solid defense.
Other key games today find
Temple at Syracuse, Villanova at
West Virginia, The Citadel at Clem-
son, Auburn at Mississippi State,
Richmond at North Carolina, Mary-
land at North Carolina State, Vir-
ginia at South Carolina, Washing-
ton State at Kansas, Tulsa at Kan-
sas State, Oregon at Missouri, Tax-
as A&M at Wichita State, Houston.
at Rice, Colorado State at Arizona
and Utah State at New Mexico.

rival Purdue
The Michigan ruggers open their
regular fall season -with a twinbill
against the Purdue Boilermakers
at Palmer Field today.
Michigan will be trying to avenge
two losses at the hands of Purdue
last spring which cost them the
Big Ten title.
Both squads have lost heavily to
graduation and will be experiment-
ing with relatively inexperienced
ruggers.
Michigan will be depending on3
the aggressiveness of its scrum;
while Purdue has traditionally had'

MUNICH - Russia, with its
Americanized brand of basket-
ball, will attempt tonight to beat
the United States at its own game
and halt a 36-year Olympic dyn-
asty.
The Americans, with a 63-0
record since the sport was in-
troduced at the 1936 Berlin
Olympics, meet the Russians for
the gold medal.
"Sure, the Russians look a lot
like us," said Hank Iba, coach
of the American team. "After
all, we invented the game of
basketball. I feel honored that
teams throughout the world copy
us."
Both Russia and the United
States are 8-0 in the Munich
Games.
"Russia is awfully strong," said
Iba, the retired basketball coach
from Oklahoma State University.
"Rebounding against them will
be difficult, but I have confidence
in our team . . . they have
grown from boys into men in
Germany."
Ergei Belov, a handsome back-
court whiz, is the scoring ace for
the Russians. He's somewhat of
an Iron Curtain Jerry West with
silky moves and a dead eye.
Up front are 6-foot-9 Alshan
Sharmukhamedov and 6-foot-7
Aleksander Belov. Had they been
born in America, these fellows
would have -likely been signing
lucrative pro basketball con-
tracts.
Iba admitted he fights over-

confidence among the Americans
by meeting with players individ-
ually. "We're frank to tell them
their mistakes and don't often
tell them how great they are."
The United States has a well-
balanced bunch without a single
sensation to match the 1968
Olympic heroics of Spencer Hay-
wood.
Iba has shuffled his troops in
previous games, most of which
were won by lopsided scores, so
statistics are almost meaningless.

Tom Henderson, a junior col-
lege who will enroll at the Uni-
versity of Hawaii, is the Ameri-
can pLaymaker. The most con-
sistent big men have been 6-8
Dwight Jones of Houston, 6-9 Jim
Brewer- of Minnesota and 6-8
Jim F )rbes of the University of
Texas at El Paso.
Probtably the team's most im-
pressi-1 e triumph to date was
their 63-38 semifinal conquest of
Italy.

C Al'r Io, whi ,finished third in
th 1972 national rankings, appears

To d so, he must find replace-
peats far tight end J.V. Cain and
hot-shot soph lineman Bubba Brid-
ges, boti i of whom lost their eli-
gibility, plus a fleet of swift re-
:eivers ivho graduated. Back, how-
ever, is junior Charlie Davis, who
