PROS HIGH ON BRUCE TAYLOR 2 Eos mca Dec. 2, 1 969-Part III Ellis Chan JOHN HALL ft Boston Us Top Scorer Is a Defensive Back Human, After All junior Gary Capehart the workhorse. Capehart, 5-11 and 175, has a 3.6-yard average in 135 carries. The speedster in the lineup is 185-pound sophomore Pat Diamond from Brooklyn. Diamond, in 91 carries, has picked up 421 yards for a 4.6 average.

He and another soph, fullback Pat Ryan, became starters when veterans Bob Calas-cibetta and John Rafalko were injured and when the seniors returned they couldn't move the young sters out. Like their backfieldthe Terrires' coaching staff is young. Naviaux is only 32, the youngest head coach ever at Boston yet he is the oldest member of the five-man staff. Although Boston U. is technically a "college division" team in the NCAA 1 For some time, the rumbles filtering into town from the south grew louder and louder.

The rumors of unbelievable atrocities and general horror on the football field were constant. There is this hungry giant known as Don Coryell and his relentless army known as the San Diego State Aztecs. Just before dying with a spear in his chest, a spy once made it back to gasp out a last word that Attila the Hun was no more cool nor cruel than the Aztec warrior prince, Dennis Shaw. The first warning of this gathering evil arrived last spring. It came as a bulletin from the front, a news letter from the Aztec Club.

The proclamation began: "After dominating the nation's so-called small college ranks for the past three "We figured Bruce to be an important defensive weapon before the season started, but something a lot of people don't realize is how many tackles he gets credit for. When we beat Connecticut, Bruce was in on 16 tackles." Following that game, in which Boston upset Connecticut, 37-21, coach John Toner of the Huskies predicted that Taylor would be "the first New England player to be drafted by the pros this year." If he is, he will follow Yale's Calvin Hill in that distinction. Boston sports writers have called him "the best defensive halfback that Boston University has ever had." This includes two- current AFL performers, Butch Byrd of the Buffalo Bills and Dick Farley of the San Diego Chargers. Offensively, the Terriers present a youthful image. Three of their starting backs, including quarterback Sam Hollo, are sophomores and the other is a junior.

Hollo, a sturdy 6-foot, 205-pounder, moved into the No. 1 spot when senior quarterback Pete Yetten was dropped from the squad for disciplinary reasons after the sixth game. Hollo came with excellent credentials, having been an All-Ohio prep in Cleveland two years ago. The Boston attack leans heavily to running, with Need San Francisco?

Markson said Ellis, the World Boxing Assn. cham-. pion, had agreed to meet Frazier, who holds the crown in seven states, but apparently will meet Gre-gorio Peralta in Montevideo Dec. 20.

Markson said Angelo Dundee, who manages Ellis, had agreed last month to accept the Garden's offer of $150,000 against 30 of all receipts. He said Frazier had agreed to the same terms. In Miami, Dundee denied that the fight had ever been set. SAX DIEGO Capt. Don Kojis of the San Diego Rockets has asked to be traded but general manager Pete Newell said, "we must get like value in return." Kojis is said to have a nontrade clause in his three-year contract.

He earns $35,000 a year and there have been recurring rumors that he does not get along with star center Elvin Hayes. HUXTIXGTOX, W. VA. Rick Tolley, 29, former Virginia Tech lineman, was appointed head football coach at Marshall University. Tolley had served as acting head coach this season.

MADISOX Athletic direc-tor Elroy Hirsch said that the University of Wisconsin's athletic board will meet today to decide the fate of football coach John Coatta. Coatta's three-year contract expires Dec. 9. The Badgers, 3-7 this year, are 3-26-1 under Coatta.

Kentucky Straight Bourboa Whisky 1 BYSIIAVGLICK Times Staff Writer Ask any professional football talent scout to name the nation's best collegiate defensive backs and the name of Bruce Taylor will be right near the top. Who is Bruce Taylor? He is the leading scorer on the Boston University team which will play San Diego State in Saturday's Pasadena Bowl game in the Rose Bowl. And he doesn't play on offense. Taylor, a 5-foot, 11-inch, 185 pound senior from Perth Amboy, N.J., has scored six touchdowns, three on punt returns, one on a field-goal attempt, one on a pass interception and the other on his lone offensive play of the season, a 49-yard, run around end. Provides Spark "Taylor always seems to give us that spark when we need it," lauds Boston U.

coach Larry Naviaux, himself a former defensive back with the University of Nebraska. "The way he runs back punts and kick-offs gives us great field; position and. that unexpected momentum." Harvard coach John Yo-vicsin refused to kick the ball to the fleet Taylor, choosing to settle for shorter punting yardage by kicking out of bounds. This eventually cost the Crimson the game as Boston's Wayne Dollard won the punting duel and the Terriers converted excel-- lent field position into a scoring drive to break Harvard's 10 -game unbeaten streak, 13-10. The following week, against Massachusetts, Taylor sprinted 104 yards with a field-goal attempt, the longest kick return in '70 Buick Riviera Air.

A clipping penalty cost Taylor another TD when he raced 88 yards with a punt in the opening game against Colgate. He has a 21.7-yard average on 24 punt returns and a 21.1 average on 13 kick-off returns. Ron Mitchell, defensive coach of BU, credits Taylor with even more.

Well, that was for 1969 openers.

The humble warning turned out to be an understatement. Coryell's crushers began with a 49-0 execution of Cal State (LA), dismantled San Jose State by a 55-21 count, and, in one of their few admitted crucials, smashed the last breath out of Pacific, 58-32. 'Most Explosive of All Time' By the time they won their eighth straight, a 70-21 squeaker over New Mexico State, the Aztecs had already been invited to a bowl Saturday's upcoming Pasadena Bowl, also known at other times as the Rose. The Aztec Club bulletins thereby gained a little confidence. "Item.

College football waited for a full century to unveil the most explosive team of all time the San Diego State Aztecs. "Item. San Diego State is big in every way. It has a student body of more than 25,000. When the Aztecs played Pacific for the championship of the new Pacific Coast Athletic the crowd of 49,000 was the largest on the coast that day larger than USC drew at home." When the Pasadena Bowl committee obtained Boston U.

as an opponent for San Diego, there was instant sympathy. At least three other schools earlier sidestepped invitations to the gas chamber. The humane society immediately put Boston No. 1 on its list of crippled strays in need of aid and comfort. So did Coryell.

"We'd rather play someone like Florida State, Arizona State or Air Force. We have nothing to gain by playing this game a college division team that's just what we've been trying to get away from," grumbled the coach. Besides their 48.3 point average on the field, the most impressive thing about the Aztecs, of course, is their modesty. Naturally not satisfied with merely steamrolling the people on their schedule, they spent as much time belittling people everywhere. Quotes started turning up from Aztec heroes, who endlessly pointed out they had spurned offers from such as USC or UCLA or Notre Dame to choose San Diego's superior football program.

Shaw took to telling how he'd left a disinterested and wasteful USC after his freshman year to find paradise with Coryell. Jack Murphy, the respected and able sports editor of the Union, viewed the local tidal wave calmly, explaining the Aztec desire for recognition has been stalled by lack of bravery by bigger names, accepting invitations to get on the San Diego schedule. "This is Coryell's burden," observed Murphy. "Given an opportunity, he would play a doubleheader with USC and the Rams the same night. He has challenged Ohio State, Alabama the world." Burns, Parks Steal Show By now, you can understand how it looked when Jim Stangeland took his Cal State (LB) club down to San Diego last Saturday night to finish off the regular season.

Hopeless. But a strange thing happened as they started to drop the cyanide pellets. Long Beach more than proved King Kong to be human. The two most exciting athletes on the field were not Aztecs. They were 49er running back Leon Burns, best pro prospect sighted this season, and wide receiver Billy Parks, a fantastic glue hand despite the fact he was making his first appearance after sitting out seven weeks with a broken collarbone.

Finally, losing a 32-21 lead and succumbing in the closing minutes, 36-32, the 49ers stilL won everything but the final score. This, really, is not meant to take anything away from San Diego. The Aztecs have a right to their pride. It was to their credit they were able to come back and rescue themselves for a 10-0 season. San Diego's frustration is understandable.

Too long overlooked, the Aztecs have won 47 of their last 48 and are perfect since 1967. In nine seasons, Coryell is 78-11-2. Shaw is as brilliant a passing quarterback as has been advertised all along. He set an NCAA ecord with nine touchdown passes in one 60-minute spurt against New Mexico and another with a season total of 39. But maybe we all don't have to feel so sorry for Boston U.

And perhaps the San Diego State Aztecs most explosive team of all have learned to approach the future with a little more humility as well as compassion for its fellow powerhouses who have been innocently stealing the publicity.
