Chamberlain, the new Lakers captain, took his appointment seriously Friday night. Chamberlain was the team leader when it counted, controlling both the offensive and defensive boards in the fourth-quarter when the Lak-, ers pulled themsleves together to de-; feat the Baltimore Bullets, before 11,168 fans at the Forum." It was a struggle for the Lakers, who were remiss defensively on oc-j casion and committed -22 turnovers.

Still, they snapped a two-game losing-streak, to remain a half game (7- 3) behind the Pacific Division co- leaders, Seattle and Golden State (8-3). Chamberlain was named captain by coach Bill Sharman shortly be-, fore the game, replacing the retired Elgin who was the only other captain in Laker history. West Declines Sharman offered the position to both Jerry West and Chamberlain "on a co-captain basis, but Jerry de-' clined, saying that he wanted to con-. centrate 100' on.his game.

The UCLA coach has been red-dogged by critics and his football team has been gang-tackled by injuries. And things don't figure to get any better today when the Bruins battle front-running Stanford in a 1:30 p.m. contest which will weigh significantly on the Rose Bowl race.

UCLA is a prohibitive underdog against the defending Pacific 3 champions, but that is only one of Rodgers' problems. In the wake of last week's frustrating defeat to the Bruin coach has been the target of blistering criticism, from fans, and alumni. Much. of it has had to do with the offense, which coughed and sputtered four time's in scoring, territory when the Bruins got to the 6, 14, 18 and 17-yard lines. Rodgers is also being second-guessed for his choice of aj quarter-' back Scott Henderson, ah.

USC coach John McKay realizes that the norma! roles for the Trojans and Cougars have been reversed this season, one of the wildest ever in the Pacific 8. Great Incentive "They're a much, much better team than they were last year," McKay says, "and they have tremem-dous incentive now because they can see that if they don't lose they'll go to the bowl."
