Cats Win Defensive Stru Sunday, November THB 1HE ARIZONA REPUBLIC ports ALSO Autos Travel O.J.'s Long Run Sidelines UCLA LOS ANGELES (AP) Fantastic 0. J. Simpson of Southern California broke loose with a 64-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that wrecked the undefeated season for top-ranked UCLA yesterday and sent the USC Trojans whirling on to the Rose Bowl game. The score: 21-20. Simpson's sensational run tied, the score at 20-20 and Rikki Aldridge kicked the extra point to give the Trojans their first victory over UCLA in three years and atone for their 3-0 loss a week ago to Oregon State.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Tom Hamilton of the Pacific-8 Conference made it official that Southern Cal would go against the Big Ten representative in the big bowl game in Pasadena New Year's Day. A crowd of 90,772 jammed into Memorial Coliseum to see the annual struggle between the crosstown rivals in a game in which UCLA needed either a tie or victory to win the bowl assignment. Simpson, a junior speed merchant, began his memorable run from the Trojans' 36, ran to the left toward the USC bench, reversed his field, opened the throttle and raced on in with no one touching him. EQUALLY BRILLIANT was the UCLA quarterback, Gary Beban, who just a minute before had thrown a 20-yard touchdown pass to Dave Nuttall that put UCLA in front, 20-14. But the try for the extra point by Zenon Andrusyshyn was wide to the left and the failure cost UCLA the Rose Bowl trip and possibly their No.

1 national ranking. Beban, in the Bruins' last touchdown drive, completed four of five passes for 57 yards of the 65-yard drive toward what looked like the winning tally. UCLA HALFBACK Greg Jones ran 12 yards on a Beban-guided drive for the Bruins' first touchdown, but a Beban pass into the flat later in the first period was intercepted by Pat Cashman who raced 55 yards for the tying touchdown. Simpson broke through the middle on a 13-yard burst midway in the second, carrying two Bruin tacklers with-him to score after Earl McCullouch rambled 52 yards on an end-around play. The Trojans led at the half, 14-7.

World Record Set By Vale of Tears By CARL SOTO A world record on opening day. This one for Vale of Tears. With the Turf Paradise meeting less than three hours old, Vale of Tears, regular rider Jack Arterburn up, streaked to a 1:01 world record clocking for 5Vi furlongs. And Mrs.

Raymond Bauer's classy colt wasn't pressed in the stretch run of the $3,500 Inaugural Handicap yesterday, holding a six-length lead at the eighth pole and hitting the wire with a 4V2-length bulge over second-finishing 01 Dave, Bob Yeager booting. Vale of Tears, owner of seven triumphs this year coming up to the sprint feature, clipped of a second off the world standard in indelibly inking his name into the record books. THE PREVIOUS MARK of 1:02 was set at Turf Paradise by Loukhal Air Force 3rd Victim as UA Preps for ASU By PRANK GIANELLI Republic Sports Writer TUCSON Fortune finally smiled on Arizona's Wildcats yesterday not in any fit of hilarity, but enough of a nervous giggle to let them squeeze out a 1410 victory over Air Force Academy. But just to show what kind of a hem- and-haw football game it was between two lackluster offenses Wildcats had to score four TD's to claim their two that counted. Each payoff was preceded by a touchdown pass officials said was caught with the receiver in the out of bounds.

This was the first time in four meetings Arizona has beaten Air Force and lofts the record of homecoming victories to 10 in the past 11 games. EXCEPT FOR spasmodic intervals, chiefly by Arizona in the final quarter when the Wildcats dominated action, the game was one of defensive skills and offensive frustration. Too often the line markers showed fourth nobody gone any place. Each club scored a second quarter touchdown, Arizona added another in the third and the cadets thunked a field goal in the fourth. THAT WAS THE total yield out of a day in which Arizona ran 103 plays and the Cadets 73 to give the homecoming crowd of 27,300 action if not much motion.

The throng lifted the season total to 190,800 for six home games, cracking the old record of 167,785 set last year. Wildcat coach Darrell Mudra moved off the bench and ran the game from a press box seat where he could get a better look. If the perch didn't help the offense, it may have reflected in the defense which held the Falcons to 100 yards rushing and smothered the passing game to 77 yards. BRUCE LEE ran most of the game for the Wildcats, completing 11 of 29 flips for 106 yards. His prime target was Wally Scott who caught three for 36 yards as the Wildcats picked up 106 aerial yards to go with 218 on the ground.

Along with their two TD's, the Wildcats missed on three field goal tries, Ken Sarnoski going off target from 39, 32 and 37 yards. APPRAISING THE game and looking ahead to taking his 3-5-1 record into next Saturday's Tempe game with Arizona State, Mudra observed "Well, we finally generated good offense. Bruce Lee did a good job at quarterback, but got tense in the fourth quarter and we put in Marc Reed to stabilize the team. Our offensive line blocking was crisper and the defense was tough when it had to be." Air Force's Ben Martin, now 2-5-2, said "Arizona loosened up with passing (Continued on Page 5-E) BEBAN SMOTHERED HERE Quarterback Gary Beban of UCLA had a good day yesterday even though his Bruins were edged by Southern AP Wtrophoto California, 21-20, but he was tossed for a four- yard loss on this pass attempt. End Jim Gunn and another Trojan bring him down here.

ASU Defeats BYU TEMPE Arizona State exploded for 28 straight points in the first half and held on for a 31-22 Western Athletic Conference victory over Brigham Young before a crowd of 38,183 last night. The Sun Devils spotted the Cougars a 9-0 lead, then roared back for 28 straight points in the first half. The first three times the Devils had the ball they gave it away twice on interceptions and once on a fumble. BYU's Joe James picked off an Ed Roseborough pass on A-state's first series of downs, giving the Brighams first- and-goal on the seven. The Devils pushed BYU to the 11, but Dennis Patera kicked a 28-yard field goal.

Moments later James recovered a fumble by J. D. Hill, but the Devils kept the Cougars off the Scoreboard. Midway through the first quarter BYU's Dave Allphin intercepted a Roseborough pass on the A-State 24 and two plays later quarterback Terry Sanford hit Phil Odle with a 22-yard touchdown pass. THEN THE DEVILS went to work.

Hill, the explosive sophomore wingback, scampered 65 yards for a touchdown on a punt first scoring punt runback of the year for ASU. Rick Shaw recovered a Cougar fumble on the BYU 15-yard line early in the second quarter after an offensive pass intereference call on Hill. Max Anderson went 22 yards up the middle for the touchdown that put ASU ahead, 14-9. The Devils drove 80 yards in 11 plays for their touchdown which Anderson scored from one yard out. WES PLUMMER recovered a fumble by Odle on the BYU 33 to set up A- state's next touchdown.

It came swiftly with Roseborough pitching 33 yards to Hill on the first play. The Cougars drove 78 yards in 11 plays for their second touchdown. Just before the half Wes Homolik went over from the one to make it 28-16. The Devils missed a good scoring opportunity midway through the third quarter when Shaw intercepted a Cougar pass at midfield and returned it to the Cougar 30. After getting a first down at the BYU 17, the Devils lost possession when defensive end Bill Leeper of Yuma pounced on an A-State fumble.

BYU QUICKLY MOVED the ball into scoring position itself, going 48 yards to the ASU 34 on a pass play from Marc Lyons to Ron Wakley. Today's Entries Page 8-E April 18, 1965 and equaled here 11 months later by Dr. R. S. Flinn's fleet- footed ace, Nasharco.

And so Turf Paradise, known as "The Home of World Records," posted its 17th world mark in opening its 13th season on an impressive note. "I just wanted to win," said Arterburn after the record ride he acknowledged he had not been aiming for. "HE RAN WELL all the way and when that horse (Barbidee) started to quit, I knew they'd have to catch us," said joyful Jack. But none in the field could get close after that backstretch run as Vale of Tears, trained by Albert Vizcaya, took complete charge coming out of the first turn and opened up a commanding lead before hitting the eighth pole. Fractions for the scorching run were :21 :44 and :55 latter off Zip Pocket's five-furlong world the powerful Bauer stable ace (Continued on Page 7-E) SPORTS TODAY RADIO-TELEVISION Professional Fwfball-Los Aflfieles Pjms Atlanta Falcons (NFU, Ch.

Vale of Tears, with Jack Arterburn in the saddle, won in a canter by lengths.

Ol Dave, second from left, finished second and Melmitch, in middle of pack, was third. Old record was 1:02 co-owned by Loukhal and Nasharco, both, at Turf Paradise, day. Andretti, the scientific little Italian with a zest for records and victories alike, churned the Dean Van Lines Special to a 122.8 miles-per-hour (29.29 seconds) trip, bettering the 29.43 record. Not far behind, but also faster than Lloyd Ruby's record run here last spring, was Pollard (29.35). Thus, the battle of the Fords and Of- fenhausers which has been promised all month.

Bobby Unser was close with a 29.53. ANDRETTI AND UNSER, driving the Rislone Special, both use Fords while Pollard's Thermo King Special has the power of Offenhauser to the rear. Also expected to get into the battle for the pole position are ever-present A. J. Foyt (Ford Coyote), Ruby (turbo- charged Offy), Gordon Johncock (turbo- charged Offy), Al Unser (Ford) and Tucson's Roger McCluskey (Ford).

Foyt, of course, also has his fight for the national championship to take care of with Andretti and Johncock. It will be interesting to see how Foyt the situation, since all he needs to sew up his fifth such crown is a finish, of third or better. IF ANDRETTI OR JOHNCOCK finish among the top three and Foyt either finishes worse than third or drops out (Continued on Page 6-E) I TOP TEN I RESULTS 1 1.
