McClendon is in that West Texas city to coach the East squad in the 10th annual summer classic which was moved west after unsuccessful attempts in both Buffalo and Atlanta. Until Lubbock accepted the American Football Coaches Association sponsored attraction, it was thought the game was a dead issue.

However, McClendon says the game has at last found a home. "The reception here has been fantastic," the Bengal Tiger coach reported Thursday from his Lubbock motel room. "This Is the right type of city. It's a college football town and the people are hungry for a game like this." McClendon said the players were having their share of fun but that when time came for football, they were ready for action. "They've been most receptive," he said.

"It's not often you put in an offense, defense, kicking game and all that goes with them in one day. But that's what we did. Of course, Dan (Devine, head coach of the West) and I each have our own quarterbacks to work with and that helps." McClendon was referring to his own Mike Hillman while Missouri's Devine has Terry McMillan to call the shots for the West. The LSU chieftain announced his co-captains and starting lineup and each had a Notre Dame flavor to it.

Three Irishmen will start and two are co-captains. Massive Mike McCoy and Bob Olson will lead the defense while Indiana's John Isen-barger will captain the offense.
