He didnt say take it or don't take it, but not knowing whether Id have a Job I could' have turned it down and still been sitting here wondering. Andros was swamped with applications for the opening but sought out Brooks, 3L.

Brooks hired off George Adens Washington to become head Coach at Philadelphia last offered him a position in charge of the Eagles special teams; said that Mike McCormack, staff head coaching job somewhere.

Rich Brooks has one advantage over Tommy Prothro: -Ho knows where he'll be working next fall Brooks special foams wtreamongfo' best to the National Football League last season, finiriifag first to punting nd kick-off coverage, second to punt coverage and third to punt returning.

But an coachs job is seldom more secure than the head coachs, so Brooks decided to accept Andros offer to replace Bud Riley, who went to Saskatchewan of the Canadian Football League While the fate of the Rams' head coach continues to whigh heavily in the hands of Carroll Rdsenbloom, Brooks already has made his decision. "But it probably would have who played for Prothro at Oregon Sate and later coached do a hell of tot of coaching other han 15 minutes before practice and maybe JO minutes after aha some film tody. After two years I think I have to improve myself. The Rams' special teams coach became foe first of. Prothros assistants to find there for five years under Andros.

At Notre Dame, which' plays UCLA.

Saturday afternoon, the student body saw it another way. Typical comments were: Were ready for UCLA this time: Notre Dame has won its last five games and were playing should have together. You i seen the second half of Saturdays Dayton game. UCLA is not at home. We did it before, we can do it again." If UCLA defeats Loyola of Chicago Thursday night, as is expected, the Bruins can better San Franciscos 60-game winning streak with a victory over Notre Dame.

The Irish were the last team the Providence coach, who watched them hand his team its second defeat to 12 games, said: "I dont know if anyone can beat UCLA. Im pretty sure no one can beat them at home. They do everytoing exceptionally well I thought we had a shot at them late to the first half but we didnt rebound well and we didnt get back quick enough on defense. We tried five defenses and they had toe answer for every one." TUCSON, Ariz.
