Six plays later, Dummit BY WIGHT CHAP1N Timtl Slalt Wrttv So the USC-UCLA game didn't mean anything this year, right? So the roses had wilted and so had just about everything else of importance, Well, somebody forgot to tell the UCLA Bruins. They were seven-point underdogs going in. They came out ahead by 25 Saturday with a 45-20 victory that has to rank as one ot the most stunning in the 40-game series between the crosstown rivals.

The Bruins' domination was shocking and it was complete. After a quarter, they had scored 24 points. At the half, they were ahead, 38-14. And at the end they exploded for 563 yards in total offense 'and had scored more points that they ever had before against USC, as a large portion of the Coliseum crowd of sat in something approaching disbelief. This was the same UCLA team that had been dismembered and then devoured just one week ago by the Washington Huskies at Seattle, 61-20.

yy And how here it was standing astride the city of Los Angeles. Quarterback Dennis Dummit threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, tailback Marv Kendricks set a UCLA single-game rushing record with 182 net yards, and scored twice and the Bruin offensive line reacted like half a dozen sticks of dynamite. It was evident from the first offensive play of the game that the Then it was USCs turn. Tailback Rod McNeill, a gifted, elusive sophomore, returned the kickoff 14 yards to the USC 30, and Clarence Davis swept left end to the 45.

The film is The Great White Hope" and it's about my all-time favorite sports figure, Jack John-son. i.

James Earl Jones was magnificent in the leading role and it's only half a pun to say the leading lady was pale by comparison. Jones was "Jack Jefferson" in the screenplay but that's to preserve the fiction that it was fiction, since all the characters (save one or two) portrayed in this film were non-fictional and every resemblance to persons living or dead was purely intentional. I am a little Jealously possessive about Jack Johnson, whom I have studied for years. I was a little afraid Hollywood would turn him into Gary Cooper or a "Guess-W o' Coming-To-Dinner-With-Boxing-Gloves?" type of thing. James Jones' Johnson comes out a kind of sensitive, tormented, anxiety-ridden kind of man in places.

Except that he had to knock people down, it would have been a goodv part for Montgomery Clift or Tab Hunter. The REAL Jack Johnson wasn't much of a handkerchief -wringer. Every photo you see of him he looks as though he's trying real hard not to laugh. He went through life roaring with laughter at the foibles of man. I always thought Jack Johnson was the bravest athlete who ever lived.

To fight Jim Jeffries, the idol of the West, in the Nevada mountains in 1910 before an audience of "most of the registered racist roughnecks of the Wild West, most of them armed, many of them drunk, and then to thrash and jeer at the white champion and all the while be married to a white woman amounts to a gesture of breathtaking defiance. For that day and age, "effrontery" would not begin to describe it. Ignored Jim Crow Johnson didn't flout Jim Crow. He just ignored it He married two other white women. The first one committed suicide, the second one was carted home by her mother-but about nine years after the honeymoon." The third was with him 'til his death in 1946.

There was also a dalliance with an Irish girl named, infelicitously, "Hattie McLay," Her FATHER paid Johnson's (and her) way around the world when he went to Australia to win the championship. Johnson's life style would draw gasps of admiration from Diamond Jim Brady. He travelled every-where in his own railroad car. He made friends Instantly. Whert he fought Jeffries, the governor of Nevada, no less, became a fan, even bet oh Johnson and assigned five burly rangers to guard him.

Johnson stayed at the best hotels. He was in more auto accidents than a career bank robber. When he was sentenced to prison (unjustly) on the Mann Act, he blithely skipped the country and had a helluva time in Europe. When the champagne ran out, he came back and gave himself up with a grin at Tijuana and served eight months of a year's sentence, most of it dining on opposum, chicken and fine wine.

HE'S GOT IT -UCLA's Rick Wilkes OVER THE TOP USC quarterback leaps high over UCLA's Jerry Jaso BY CHARLES MAIIER Tlmt Staff Writer BERKELEY-i-Tho Stanford' out to, lunch' most of the; first two periods Saturday, and half an effort wasn't enough to handle the California Bears, who won the 73rd Big Game, 22-14. So the Pacific 8 champion; will go into' the" Rose Bowl game against Ohio State with a little of the wrong kind of momentum, having lost two games in a row. A week ago, the Indians were beaten by the Air Force, 31-14. X) wL Half-a-fiame of COLUMBUS On their way to the Rose Bowl Saturday, Woody Hayes and his seniors were obliged to overcome both a bad case of the jitters and a good football team from Michigan.

It was an Ohio State romp at the end, 20-9, and that's the way it will be remembered here. But in 20 years as coach of the Buckeyes, Hayes has seldom experienced a more nervous He lost track of the downs; he didn't always remember to" put 11 -men in the lineup; he lost a little argument with his quarterback, and, among other things, he blew a field goal chance at the end of the half. But he didn't blow the game. Not Woody. His carefully-coached athletes survived Woody's mistakes, they survived their own mistakes and they capitalized on Michigan's to end the season as the undefeated champions of the Big Ten.

Ohio State's defensive team held Michigan to 37 net yards rushing. The other Ohio State platoon won the total offense, 329-155. And quarterback Rex Kern made the big play, standing in against a Michigan blitz to throw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Jankowski as the Buckeyes marched ahead at the half, 10-3. But the turning point came later, and it was Michigan negligence more than Ohio State excellence, that decided the 1970 championship than a minute to go, the Indians still had a chance to tie with a touchdown and a two-point conversion. But, on fourth-and-inches from the Cal 43, Plunkett was forced to unload in a hurry to avoid getting creamed, and the ball was picked off by a California linebacker, Phil Croyle.

The Bears got their first 13 points on a 25-yard field goal by Randy Wersching in the last minute of the first period, a 10-yard pass from Penhall to Bob Darby about 10 minutes into the second period and a In the third quarter It wasn't' as Bruins stormed to 45-20 win.

Cal had a net of 294 yards almost a good day's work against Stanford and the Indians had only 130. Stanford outgained the Bears in the last two quarters, but couldn't outscore them.

In this half, Plunkett turned the ball over three times, twice on interceptions and once on a fumble. But one of the Interceptions was a result of excusable desperation. Trailing by eight points with less Ik.
