Cpach Bill Meek has had a hard time getting his Redskins for the night-ligh- t r$ad 1 roundup Saturday. The S&nford win over San Jose t$k some of the fear from the fracas. 3f Coach Meek spent all week trying to scare his charges about San Joses running game and excellent pass-iijhe would have few ears tijimed his way.

Dwight Staten didnt cut the cake at linebacker and Randy Hansen has been moved into that place with sophomore Pete Michinoch going to Hansens end post. was who Jim Brown, injured in the crucial goal-lin- e play against Oregon, is still a question mark. He was in the hospital for a day and a half recovering from the jolt he took on the pass play. He is still shaky. Coach Meek is concerned about San Jose's speed. Frank Slaton is one worry. Hes only 160 and 7 and thats too small to catch. Stanford learned this when Slaton slipped off for one kickoff return at S3 yards and 47 otlv"' yards in 11 carries. Of course, San Jose would have got one kickoff they had more of these plays than any other of a type, the way Stanford stacked up the points.

Iowa State was ahead, 10-- 7 and 13-prior to that drive. Our offense made some mental errors which caused us trouble, Majors said.

Stryculas rushing has kept Utah State respectable in that department. Against Wichita State the Ags registered 103 yards to Wichitas 79 and lost the game.
