Bell rushing toward U.S. running mark Ricky Bell, USC's junior tailback, is on a pace that would eventually leave him with the NCAA single-season rushing record. Bell, with another 217 yards in the Trojans' 28-10 victory Saturday over Washington State, now has 940 yards in USC's first five games, all of them victories. He is averaging 188 yards per game and if he keeps up that pace for the entire 11-game season he'll easily surpass Ed Marinaro's record of 1,881 set four years ago at Cornell. Bell maintains that his frequent running doesn't bother him--he carried a career-high 38 times Saturday--and, in fact, likes the idea.

"It just opens up everything else," he says. "When I'm running so much, the other team is keying on me. If they stop me, how are they going to stop our quarterback option, for example?" What "they" haven't done, though, is stop Bell. He's run for 259 yards (a USC record), 215, 89, 163 and, on Saturday, 217. WASHINGTON STATE coach Jim Sweeney, like the four rival coaches before him, was impressed, not only with Bell but with the entire USC team.

"The Trojans fielded an excellent football team on defense--not only their personnel, but they also had an excellent game plan against us defensively. They stacked their linebackers on the tight end side and over the center's head." He called Bell "an excellent football player. Even last year, 1 thought he was an excellent fullback. He blocked better against us as a fullback than anybody I've seen." USC'S VICTORY kept alive all of its streaks, which include: A 10-game win streak since a 15-15 tie last season with Cal. A 16-garhe unbeaten skein.

A Pacific-8 unbeaten string of 27 games. A Coliseum unbeaten streak of 24 games. The Trojans lost outside linebacker Mario Celot- to (knee) and defensive back Ricky Odom (leg) in the first half. Celotlo may be out two weeks. Asked about the injuries, USC coach John McKay, who had "picked off" a wildly thrown Washington State pass on the sidelines in the last quarter, said, "1 don't know because I haven't talked with the doctors.

If I did, I wouldn't be able to see the game. I coach and intercept passes. 1 can't do everything."
