Washington State's Cougars literally and figuratively were booted off the field Saturday night in Arizona's 28-12 triumph. And the laddies who got the biggest kick out of doing it were Preston (PDQ) Davis and Gene Dahlquist.

Davis, a fullback who had been recruited originally for his defensive ability, boomed almost every kickoff out of the end zone, giving the Cougars no opportunity for runbacks. One of his kickoffs sailed through the uprights of the goal-posts and just as they do when Mickey Mantle blasts a home run in Yankee Stadium, the university's publicity department ran out the tape-measure. 1 "It is our estimate," reported tub-thumper Frank W. that Davis kickoff travelled 78-yard.

Nevertheless Jim LaRue called Davis' kickoffs "the finest exhibition of kicking I have ever seen." No less spectacular, or effective, was Dahlquist's punting. On his five kicks he average a brilliant 44.8 yards. And one of his "punts very well could have been the turning point to victory. His 52-yard quick kick in the first quarter resulted in Arizona's first touchdown.

I ran the ball some, but I didn't kick off until my last year at San Diego and I guess I was pretty erratic." 1 Davis was still erratic here last year. He ran the ball from scrimmage only once, but as a kickoff spe-' cialist he would send one ball zooming into the the next bouncing wildly afong the turf. Then Davis, a left-footed kicker, went to work under the tutelage of LaRue and Ron Marciniak. He booted more than 40 balls day.

The guys sure gave me the business about that one." 4 Marciniak says Davis also learned to keep his ankle lockeda must in kicking long and straight.
