CCtPart III Sunday, September 3a 1984 Clippers Bringing Marques Home They Also Land Bridgenian, Catchings in Deal for Cummings Writer If talented forwards who were reportedly unhappy in their situations. Cummings, 23, was the NBA's Rookie of the Year in 1382-83 and overcame a career-threatening heart condition to again lead the Clippers in scoring (22.9 points per game) and rebounds (9.6) last season. Johnson. 28. has been an All-Star in four of his seven NBA seasons and averaged 20.7 points for the Bucks last season, slightly below Please te TRADE, 12 scorer, and reserve guards Rickey Pierce and Craig Hodges to the Bucks for Johnson, swing-man Junior Bridgeman and reserve center Harvey Catchings.

Sources said the Bucks also will pay the Clippers 1300,000 the next two years to help defray part of Johnson's contract, which is worth $900,000 this season and 1.5 million in future years. The trade ended months of speculation involving Cummings and Johnson, two exceptionally Clipper executives than trying to move Johnson back to Los Angeles, where he was the City Player of the Year at Crenshaw High School and later an All -American at UCLA before starting his National Basketball Assn. career at Milwaukee. But Saturday morning, after several weeks of renewed discussions and an all-night negotiating session Friday, the Clippers finally landed Johnson. They traded Cummings, their leading Jim Murray A Red Baron Who Hies a Paper Plane Ordinarily, wha yea.

Pappy Boy-ington, Wrong Way Corrigan or the thin line of RAF heroes of the Blitz, solo aces performing great feats against insurmountable odds. The San Diego Chargers are the football equivalent of a rickety old World War I biplane, shot full of holes and held together by chewing gum and baling wire, missing struts, guns jammed and low on petrol. When you see Dan Fouts strap on his helmet and run out to take over the controls of this sputtering flying machine, you are reminded of those old Lafayette Escadrille movies in which Herbert Marshall grabs the squadron commander and says, "My God, sir, you're not going to send a boy up in that, are .1 (j a Lee Keeps Kicking, Stevens Pitches In in 33-16 UCLA Win 0 Marques Johnson F1 Sri''- By SAM McMANIS, Timet Staff Long before the Clippers made their fast break from San Diego to Los Angeles last May. they tried unsuccessfully on several occasions to trade disgruntled forward Terry Cummings for Milwaukee star forward Marques Johnson. The Clippers and Bucks were very close to completing the trade last February, but the terms weren't right and the deal died.

It seemed that moving an entire franchise was easier for Dick Williams fj' College Station, when he landed for the season. The San Diego Charter are not a team, they're a leak. Their back-field is a revolving door. So, as a matter of fact, is their defensive line. It should install turnstiles.

But never outwitted. Like all lost causes, it is romantic. It is gallant in defeat, brilliant in victory, indomitable in the field. It never retreats. It is like that French general who said, center is bent, my left is not holding, my right is in retreat -I must attack!" They are often the Chargers of the Light Brigade.

They go off into the valley of death with banners flying, guns out, swords waving and hopes dashing. It is Dan Fouts who makes this raggle-taggle command a force. You picture him leading this f-vmed squadron into battle with scarf flying, lips smiling, goggles glistening, hopes rising in spite of the sputtering engine, the leaky tanks, the overheated gun barrels. Football's Red Baron after his Blue Max. Dan Fouts may be the best passer in football history.

Watching him throw a ball is like watching Babe Ruth or Ben Hogan hit one, Willie Mays catch one or Sandy Koufax curve one. He can Please see MURRAY, Pace 12 A vv TT Jr- By TRACY DODDS. Times Staff Writer BOULDER. Colo. John Lee.

invigorated by the light air at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, kicked four field goals and three extra points in his usual role of designated scorer as UCLA beat the University of Colorado. 33-16, Saturday afternoon before a crowd of 38.925 at Folsom Field. Lee, who was 4 for 4 on field goals of 51, 49, 39 and 36 yards, is 14 for 14 this football season. His 15 points against Colorado made him the all-time leading scorer for UCLA with 215 points, surpassing the record of 214 set by Heisman Trophy winner Gary Beban in 1967. And Lee is just a junior.

Lee's performance, though, was nothing new. As Coach Terry Donahue said, "He's only kept the team afloat for four weeks." Lee is a given. Donahue was more excited about the variables. UCLA (3-1) will go into its Pacific 10 opener against Stanford next Saturday with some new-found talent. Gaston Green, a freshman from Gardena High School, ran for 81 yards and scored two touchdowns.

He had a third called back because of a penalty. And James Primus, a freshman who redshirted last year, started in place of the injured Danny Andrews and gained 88 yards. Where that leaves Andrews is a question to be answered this week in practice. There also is a bigger question to be answered: Just who is the quarterback at UCLA?

McLean completed only 9 of 20 passes for 64 yards, threw two interceptions and also fumbled to position LSU for a short touchdown drive.

In fairness to Green, he didn't relieve McLean until late in the third quarter with the Trojans trailing. 17-3. LSU knew that USC had to try to catch up by passing, putting Green on the spot.

N.Y.-Syr-acuse University football Coach Dick MacPherson doesn't claim to be a soothsayer, but he said he was overcome with positive vibes on the eve of Saturday's 17-9 upset over top-ranked Nebraska. During a bed check Friday night, MacPherson noticed that most of the players were asleep by 9 o'clock, an hour earlier than usual. "The last time I saw something like that was when I was coaching at Massachusetts and we had to play Western Illinois, the No. 1 Division I-AA team at the time," MacPherson said. "And you know what? We beat them, too." The extra hour of sleep gave the Orangemen more time to dream of what it would be like to beat the Comhuskers, who had won 24 consecutive regular-season games.

The Orangemen, who increased their record to 3-1 before 47,280 fans at the Carrier Dome, came into the game off a 19-0 loss to mediocre Rutgers and were Please see UPSET, Page 8 Green managed to complete 9 of 18 passes for 93 yards.

"We can't operate from a come-from-behind passing situation. My initial reaction is that turnovers caught up with us.

It's obvious there's more to it than that, but it's critical for us to be able to run the ball and not fall behind."

LSU Shows Trojans What It Takes Sound Defense, Moving Offense Lead Tigers to 23-3 Win Williams Is Mean, Nasty and Back in the Playoffs By RICK RE1LLY, Times Staff SAN DIEGO-On Aug. 18, 1967, Dick Williams, manager of the Boston Red Sox, watched Boston's hot Tony Conigliaro dig in against right-handed pitcher Jack Hamilton of the Angels.

Everybody in the league knew that to keep Conigliaro from hitting the ball over the wall, a pitcher had to keep him from crowding the plate. Hamilton knew it, too, and threw a fastball up and in. Too in. The ball sailed and caught Conigliaro flush in the left eye. If you were unlucky enough to be there, you probably never will forget that Writer sound.

You did rot worry about Conigliaro's baseball career or his eye, both nearly destroyed by the injury. You worried about his life. Fast-forward 17 years. On Aug. 12, 1984, pitcher Pascual Perez of the Atlanta Braves hit San Diego Padre Alan Wiggins with the first pitch of the game.

For the next eight innings-over four times at bat San Diego's manager ordered three different pitchers to throw fast-balls at Perez in retaliation. Not brushbacks, fastballs. At Perez. Please sec WILLIAMS, Page 10 By AL FLORENCE, Times Staff After USC beat Arizona State last week, 6-3, Ted Tollner said that his team couldn't expect to win many more football games by kicking field goals and not scoring touchdowns. It was a reasonable evaluation, but the USC coach didn't anticipate that his team would go eight quarters without scoring a touchdown.

This is a team that is desperately searching for an offense. Arizona State didn't have much of an offense, but Louisiana State does have one, and the Tigers ripped the Trojans, 23-3, Saturday at the Coliseum before a crowd of 60.128.
