Bell, Eller, loechler. Wheeler They'll Tackle Tough Problem in UCU By SID HARTMAN Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer PASADENA, Calif. Murray Warmath expects his Minnesota tackles to face a real test when UCLA throws its powerful single wing at the Gophers in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day. One thing about this problem that makes War- math less concerned is that sophomore tackle Carl Eller will be healthy enough to be able to ward off the double team blocking of the UCLA linemen. The 236-pound Eller biggest of the Gopher tackles started all of the games up to Michigan.

In the last quarter of the 23-20 wins over the Wolver ines, a couple of Gophers fell on Eller's left wrist after he made a tackle, resulting in a broken bone and slowing him down the rest of the season. Eller played only two minutes each in the Michigan State, Iowa and Purdue games. After Jim Wheeler chipped a bone in his ankle against Purdue, Eller had to come back and play 60 minutes in the 23-21 loss to Wisconsin. However, against the Badgers Eller still didn't have the all-important strength in his left hand. Now, after working two days here, Eller says that his wrist feels strong for the first time since he was injured.

"It was tough playing when I didn't have any power in my left wrist," said Eller. "What a difference now that it is completely healed." Wheeler says his ankle is coming along, too. So with Eller and Wheeler okay, the Minnesota tackle delegation of Wheeler, Eller, Bobby Bell and Tom Loechler hopes it can handle the UCLA power. All four tackles are being given a lot of contact in drills here to prepare them for the big test. The top UCLA tackle the Gophers will have to handle is 235-pound Foster Anderson.

"When you look at our offense you note that it is centered around the tackles," said Anderson.

Nothing fancy, mind you, just hard-nosed and hair-raising. Humiliated by a 33-point defeat Monday night at Bradley, the Gophers turned mean last night before a vacation thinned crowd of 5,068 partisans. Trailing by seven points early, Minnesota fought back for a 34-34 halftime standoff, then jumped to a series of 10-point leads in the second half before staving off a furious Arizona finish.

The Gophers, it has been said, would be pretty good if they had some leadership and scoring from their guards. They found the leader last night in sophomore Al Druskin, a bouncy, bossy rookie from St. Louis Park. Much of the credit for this one goes to Druskin, who hit if: i Barnes Hails UCLA Session By Staff Writer PASADENA, Calif. UCLA had what coach Billy Barnes called one of its best practices Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota squad was bothered by the smog for the first time in an afternoon drill.

QUARTERBACK and sate- tyman Jerry renenei sprained his ankle but the injury wasn serious. Warmath said the squad would continue to worn twice a day through Saturday. The exception this week will be this afternoon when the squad visits Disneyland.

There will be a light workout Sunday and no practice Monday. Marquette Rips Badgers 92-75 MILWAUKEE, Wis.

The state rivals tied the; score seven times in, the first 10 minutes, before the War- riors exploded from a 23-23 deadlock to ram in 23 points while holding the Badgers to a single free throw. Marquette kept hitting to build up a 51-36 halftime; edge.

BLANKET LINED Johnson Leads Millers Over Fort Wayne 6-3; Tie for Top play. Cronk and Payne exchanged free throws, but Arizona State got the ball on a rebound with 33 seconds to play. Armstrong missed, but the Sun Devils got another chance after an errant Gopher pass. Howard missed then, and after a jump ball, time ran out with Druskin snatching the ball away from Mike McConnell. Druskin was fouled on the play and added a single free throw for the final score.

State jumped off to a 13-6 first half lead before Magdanz and Cronk pulled the Gophers into a half-time knot. Through the hectic second half, many of Magdanz, Cronk and McGrann's point blank baskets were set up with slick Druskin passes. Both teams shot poorly, the Gophers at 32.4 and Arizona State at 29.3. Rebounds were even at 46-up, but the Gophers' came at more crucial times. Druskin was brilliant in Filion, attempting to clear, knocked the wafer into the goal.

Woody has not been shy at expressing his disappointment over the faculty council vote which kept him from taking his Big Ten football champions to the Rose Bowl. That it still lingers on was made plain Wednesday when his Christmas cards reached his friends.

Then there was reliable Ray Cronk with 13 points and 12 rebounds and Tom McGrann with 13 points and 10 rebounds. The Gophers appeared safe with a 61-51 lead and 5:30 to play, but the Sun Devils sprang a countermarch.

Bob Howard and Larry Armstrong, the gifted pipsqueaks in State's back-court, teamed with forward Ollie Payne to chop the margin to 61-59 with 3:33 left. Magdanz stretched Minnesota's lead to 64-59 with a three-point play, before both teams matched pairs of field goals.

Fort Wayne went ahead at 3:37 of the first period on John Goodwin's screen shot, but the Millers tied on Johnson's first goal at 4:53 and took the lead for keeps on Ted Lanyon's long slap shot which overpowered Fort Wayne goalie Reno Zanier. But for 31 stops by the busy Zanier, it might have been much worse. Bartoli's goal was actually pushed into the Fort Wayne cage by Komet defenseman Serge Fil-ion.
