Simpson: Heisman and 1, The Siveet Smell of Roses The Rose Bowl picture looks a little clearer this morning following yesterday's Pacific Eight and Big Ten results. USC and Oregon State are both 4-0 in conference play, while California at 1-1-1 and UCLA at 2-2 appear to be out of the bowl picture. Stanford is 2-2. and also appears out. USC plays Oregon State next Saturday, and the winner will be in the bowl.

In the Big Ten, Ohio State and Michigan are the only unbeaten conference teams. The Buckeyes are 5-0 and Michigan 5-0 with two games left. The two play each other Nov. 23, and the winner will be in the Rose Bowl. 11 LOS ANGELES (UPI) 0.

J. Simpson will win the Heisman Trophy tlr.s season and go on to instant success as a pro. That's the opinion of Jon Arnett, the famed "Jaguar" who electrified University of Southern California football fans in the middle 1950s. 0. may be even more productive as a pro," Arnett offered.

In his second year of retirement after an outstanding 10-year National Football League career, Jon is amazed by Simpson's durability. "That's his greatest asset," the 33-year-old former USC halfback said in a discussion last week about the current Trojan rushing star; "I felt 0. J. should have won the Heisman Trophy last year," Arnett continued. "There's no doubt he will win it this year.

He's the most exciting thing around right now. "As far as the pros are concerned, he has the size, strength and intelligence. There's no doubt he'll be a star right away." Jon gets a chance to see Simpson in action each week since he is the color Beach and keeps in by running on the beach about two miles every other day when he's home. I stay in pretty good condition." he said. "I'm about three pounds over my playing weight." The 19'8 USC team, in hs opinion, isn't as good as last year's Trojan na tional championship club.

"I thought it would be stronger than last year's team but it has lacked th quality of defense. Last year's USC team was as good as any college team I've ever seen and the losses to graduation hurt." Arnett compares Simpson with Jimmy Brown. "He's that type of a runner. He's very strong and makes six or seven yards when he should only make two." Does the former Trojan star think 0. J.

has any weakness? "The only question is whether he can block. He doesn't have to now because he carries the ball so much. But John McKay the USC coach says he can ami John is a fine coach so I have to believe he can." "No. I rather enjoy watching it and not having people hit me." Arnett, also a track standout at USC. was the No.

Hanked No. 1 nationally and heading toward the Rose Bowl, the Trojans had just survived close calls in their last three games, and were honestly apprehensive about the Bears, who had allowed only 39 points in seven games while winning five and tying one. "We're not nervous," said John Mi-Kay, the USC coach, the day before the game, "we're scared." But any team that has O.

J. Simpson in working order can't really be scared, however disingenuously the coach talks, and O. J. was very much in working order yesterday. He scored two touchdowns and ran for 164 yards on 31 tries before retiring at the end of the third quarter, with the score 35-3.

His presence, though, dominated the game even more than statistics show. USC established his ability to move against California's line right at the start, and although the first quarter was scoreless, the progressive binding of the defense against Simpson opened up other weapons. Steve Sogge, the quarterback, began taking full advantage of Simpson's decoy value and passed for two touchdowns that gave Southern Cal a 14-3 halftime lead. The Trojans produced three more touchdowns in the first 13 minutes of the second half, on another pass by Sogge and Simpson's runs of 39 and seven yards. Ron Ayala kicked all five conversions.

California, after a 28 yard field goal by Ron Miller that made the score 7-3 midway through the second quarter, did nothing offensively until it scored two touchdowns in last six minutes of the game. So Southern Californa, posting its seventh straight victory, now has to get past Oregon Stale and UCLA. To reach the Rose Bowl and Notre Dame to retain national ranking California had Rose Bowl hopes of its own going into this game after years of football misfortune but they seem gone now. Along with Simpson and Sogge, a Trojan hero was Bob Chandler, sophomore right halfback who was getting his first start because Jimmy Lawrence, the team's chief pass receiver, suffered a broken collarbone last week. During the third quarter, Chandler caught five passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.

Southern California received the opening kickoff and Simpson carried the ball on the first six plays, making 22 yards before limping off. He did little the next two sequences, but ran on seven of the 12 plays and accounted for half the yardage in a 53 yard march that produced the first touchdown 4:25 into the second period. Simpson had taken the ball to the California four for a first down and Sogge passed into the right corner to Bob Klein for the score. California went 74 yards from the next kickoff to the Trojan 11 before settling for the field goal with fourth down and San Gorgonio got its second TD with 1:08 left in the third quarter, driving in from 38 yards out following a blocked punt. This time, Wenzel took the ball in.

Cal Lowly San By HEARD SNELLINGS Sun-Telegram Staff Writer San Gorgonio's Spartans, hungry for victory, shocked Pacific's powerful Pirates in the Orange Show last night taking a 4-0 victory on the running of Jay Wenzcl and Steve Youel. The Pirates, who entered the game in a three-way tie for the Citrus Belt League lead, figured to have an easy time with the Spartans, who had only a tie with lowly San Bernardino to show for five previous league games. But the Pirates were never in the game, as the Spartan defense bottled up Pacific's vaunted attack so well that they didn't get a first down until midway through the third quarter. Fred Meares, Pat Dinwiddie, Pat Ains-worth and John Southworth combined to give the Spartans their best defensive line effort of the season, allowing Pacific only 56 yards rushing and forcing the at at a of Shocks Pacific, 14-0 is Tribe Trips Huskies (tape), KTTV (11) Derby, KCOP (13) Dame Football, KTLA (5) Open Golf.

Each boy scored one touchdown, and the pair helped San Gorgonio pile up 197 yards rushing. Youel carried 15 times for 51 yards, while Wenzel amassed 58 yards in 20 carries. Most of the other rushing yardage was compiled on two big gainers one by John Bond and the other by quarterback Damon Wicker. Wicker replaced Wenzel as signal-caller, and Wenzel responed with a superb effort at tailback. San Gorgonio showed it was out to win right away, taking the opening kick-off and driving down to Pacific's 12-yard line, where the Pirates took over on downs.

Moments later, the Spartans got the ball back at the Pirate 45-yard line as Meares recovered the first of two Pirate fumbles he pounced on during the even- ing. The Spartans then drove down to the Pacific 13-yard line, but the pirates stop- ped them and Bob Hall missed on a 23- yard field goal attempt. Midway through the second period, Gorgonio started another drive, this time on the Pacific 33 after a wobbly 12-yard Pirate punt had given good field position. They drove down to the one- fool line, where the Pirate line stopped Wenzel on a plunge over the middle on fourth down. Pacific was forced to punt again, and tins tune the Spartans took the ball at the 43 and marched to the touchdown in 11 plavs, with Youel scoring from the two with 1:05 left in the first half.
