Coach Kopp again stressed that McFarlane may be the inspirition-a- l kind of back who can give the Cats the 'flift" they need, . "Did you notice as soon as McFarlane started to run well, McGinn and Hubbs also began to move?" he asked. The BYU mentor also was high in his praise of sophomore guard, Dave Barrus. "He's a regular bearcat," Kopp said: Not Serious Injuries Despite the ferocity of the play, the Cougars came out of the scrimmage! without any apparent serious injuries.
