Sunday, September 19, 1976 Santa Cruz Sentinel 29 1 0 MWH" HiJIMPUU.jg i LOS ANGELES (AP) -Fifth-ranked UCLA used three long touchdown plays and two scoring runs by sophomore The-otis Brown Saturday night as the explosive Brains crushed Arizona 37-9. The electrifying Brown, who scored twice in UCLA's 28-10 victory over Arizona State last week, scored on runs of 31 and 10 yards as the Bruins won their second game and dropped Arizona to 1-1. Arizona, however, led 3-0 after the first quarter on a 26yard field goal by Lee Pistor, and the Bruins blew three early scoring chances. UCLA got the momentum it needed with 37 seconds to play in the first half when Pistor lined up to kick a 35-yard field goal. But it was a fake, as his holder.

Bill Baechler, attempted a pass. Levi Armstrong intercepted for the Bruins and sped 75 yards to score and the Bruins led 7-3 at intermission. Arizona couldn't move with the second half kickoff and after Severn Reece ran back a punt 24 yards, Brown took a first-down handoff from quarterback Jeff Dankworth and blasted over Arizona defensive back Greg Preston en route to his first touchdown. The Bruins recovered an Arizona fumble two minutes later, and on the second offensive play, Wendell Tyler took a pitchout and blazed 45 yards to score. Dankworth hit Ricky Walker with a 47-yard bomb to set up Brown's 10-yard touchdown and reserve quarterback Steve Bukich connected with Homer Butler for a 34-yard touchdown on the final play of the third quarter.

The Bruins' four touchdowns in the third period netted them The Wildcats and Bruins both moved the ball well early in the game, but Arizona struck first, moving from its own six-yard line to the UCLA 10, where Pistor kicked his field goal with 53 seconds to play in the period. Dankworth's first pass of the game was intercepted by Arizona's standout safety, Ken Creviston. It took 18 plays for Arizona to finally kick its field goal. The Bruins were in complete command after Butler's touchdown catch, but UCLA added a 42-yard field goal by kicker Frank Corral early in the fourth period before tailback Lynn Dickerson, the Wildcats' leading rusher, scored Arizona's only touchdown on a five-yard run. UCLA threw away a number of scoring chances earlier in the game.

Corral missed field goal attempts of 47 and 31 yards and Dankworth's pitchout at the Arizona six-yard line went awry and was recovered by Jeff Hantla.

Less than a minute later, fellow sophomore Rick Leach, Wolverine quarterback, sprinted four yards for another TD, set up when Don Tedson recovered a Stanford fumble at the Cardinals' 17. It was Michigan's game the rest of the way as the defense thwarted Stanford's touted passing attack and regained the prestige it lost in giving up 27 points in last week's victory over Wisconsin. Lytle, who ran for 101 yards in 19 carries, scored his first touchdown on a 16-yard burst on a draw in the second quarter after John Anderson recovered a fumble by Stanford's Gary Lynn at the Cardinal 45. Lytle added his other score on a 14-yard (Continued on Page 30) from Stanford." Stanford Coach Jack Christiansen wasn't especially displeased after his team failed to take advantage of scoring chances, suffered critical turnovers, and gave up a stunning 516 yards rushing to Michigan's top five backs. "They just whipped us on offense and defense," Christiansen said.

"They blocked and tackled better than us and they deserved to win." Schembechler said it "would be a mistake to assume that was a typical Stanford team. I have not changed my evaluation of Stanford's chances of being in the Rose Bowl." Michigan's five leading backs averaged more than 10 yards per carry. Tailback Harlan Huckleby led the attack with 157 yards in 16 carries, including an ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Coach Bo Schembechler still believes Stanford is a Rose Bowl-caliber football team, but Saturday his No. 1 ranked Michigan Wolverines left little doubt that they are, too.

Michigan, which was ranked atop last week's national poll by a onepoint margin over Big Ten rival Ohio State, Saturday blasted Stanford of the Pacific Eight, 51-0. "This was a very good game for us," Schembechler said. "The defense was good, very good, this was the most impressive thing. That's what we needed. That's what we wanted." Michigan was uncharacteristically poor on defense in beating Wisconsin, 40-27, in its opener a week earlier.

"We had better game preparation," Schembechler said of the Stanford game.

California's Joe Roth had success connecting with his receivers on short routes, but the Sooner secondary completely cut off the long pass until Roth hit wide receiver Ed Gillies on a 28-yard scoring aerial with 3:34 to play. Culbreath, a senior, got the Sooners on the scoreboard with a 56-yard jaunt with 5:57 left in the first period, and Uwe von Schamann got the first of his four extra-point kicks. Culbreath and King, who started the game, ran wild as the Sooners piled up 323 yards rushing in the first half. Culbreath rambled for 128 yards and King 100 in the first two quarters. But Oklahoma had three drives stopped by fumbles, coughing up the ball once on the California six after a 61-yard dash by King.

Sooner halfback Elvis Peacock had a 30-yard run into the end zone nullified by a penalty. The Bears apparently made NORMAN, (AP) Junior quarterback Dean Blevins ran 10 yards for one touchdown and passed 65 yards for another and Oklahoma's secondary lived up to its reputation as the fourth-ranked Sooners defeated pass-minded California 28-17 in college football Saturday. With fullbacks Kenny King and Jim Culbreath running almost at will against the Golden Bears' lightweight line, the Sooners overcame some early fumbles to fash that cut the deficit to 217 at half-time. Roth clicked on four of five passes to four different receivers before running back Markey Crane rammed into the end zone from the 11. It was the last Bear scoring until a 44-yard field goal by Jim Breech and Gilies' touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.

It took a weird 71-yard touchdown play early in the final stanza involving Blevins and Hover to seal the victory for Oklahoma. Blevins (Continued on Page 30) some adjustments to contain the Sooners' inside attack at intermission, and the third quarter was a 0-0 draw. Blevins, who had his troubles in Oklahoma's 24-3 opening victory at Vanderbilt, was much sharper operating the wishbone in the first half against the Bears. The Sooners second touchdown occurred after reserve end Myron Shoate sacked Roth for an 11-yard loss at the Bear one-yard line. Oklahoma got the ball at the Cali fornia 36 after a short punt and Blevins scored three plays later on a gutty three-yard effort up the middle.

The Sooners stung the Bears with a 65-yard touchdown pass from Blevins to 5-foot-8 split end Lee Hover midway in the second period. The bomb came on a first-down play and capped a 90-yard drive that gave the Sooners a 21-0 lead.

Fullerton only offensive effort of any conse quence was when the Titans moved from their own 37 to the San Jose 37 before running out of downs. San Jose came to life in the second quarter with two touchdowns to leave the field with halftime edge of 13-0.

And beginning next week they must play real football teams starting with Stanford. The Spartans, who scored lopsided, impressive victories over Utah State and Hawaii, were not overpowering against Cal State-Fullerton. Adequate, maybe, but not brilliant. San Jose won going away, 20-0, but did little to enhance its hopes for national recognition.

It would be unfair to take anything away from the T'tans and thfir coarh, Jim Colletto, the former Monterey High great. Fullerton was tough defensively and made San Jose battle for every inch.

It was again the running of Kane and the passing of DeBerg which provided the offensive spark Kane rambled 21 yards to get the march moving. Then DeBerg tok over and bit gary maddocks twice.
