"I'm just tremendously amazed at the amount of courage he's shown under the circumstances," said Cal Coach Mike White. Roth, in a weakened condition because of the chemotherapy, suffered back spasms which kept him out of the post -season East-West all-star game on Jan. 2.

He was able to play some, however, in the Hula Bowl game in Hawaii the following week. Then he returned to San Francisco for more treatment. IN 1975, ROTH'S FIRST season at Cal, he broke several school passing records and was named The Associated Press' Back of the Week for a 380-yard passing performance against Washington.
