Show Arslanian Needs Bigger Bag of Tricks By MIKE WITTY llerald Sports Writer - FT. COLLINS, Colo. Sark Arslanian, the Colorado State miracle worker of last season, will need even more surprises from his bag of tricks in 1974 if he is to equal the 6 record of last year. There are some quality junior college transfers and a few freshman who might play, but depth is a problem and so is the schedule. The Rams have possible victories against Florida State, Nevada - Reno, and Texas-E- l Paso. However, the other eight games have to be classified as battles. New Mexico, i&phill Memphis State, Utah State, and Wyoming might be considered tossup games by loyal CSU backers, but the doubtful designation has to be given to Arkansas, Arizona, Arizona State, and BYU. The Rams will be improved this season, but so will New Mexico and Wyoming, teams CSU must beat in order to have a winning record. Once again the Rams don't play Utah, leaving 5-- them with only six WAC games. Arslanian's strategy of getting his team to emotional peaks paid off last season as did some unexpected moves. The Rams either passed or ran from punt formation eight times last year and picked up first downs on all eight tries. This year the opponents shouldn't be caught napping and Arslanian agrees it will take lots of breaks for CSU to have a winning season. "If we can come up with a key interception or fumble recovery or break loose a long punt return it could win us some games," Arslanian claims. Breaks could mean the difference between fourth and seventh place in the WAC for the Rams, and injuries could be a factor. There are impressive athletes, but few adequate replacements. The biggest question mark is the quarterback position. Arslanian calls it "the strength of the team," but in the same breath labels the situation "the real problem." Four candidates are vying for recruited from Pratt N.Y. (UPI) -J- With previous rounds of 69 and 68, the 1973 U.S. Open champion had a le total of 202, 14 under ohny Miller, playing "a nearly perfect round," shot a seven under par 65 Saturday and par on the short Westchester e lead after Country Club course. grabbed a two-strok- the third round of the $250,000 Westchester Golf Classic. the leading money Miller, winner on the PGA tour, missed just one fairway and hit every green in regulation as he moved into position to win his sixth tournament of the year. Tom Weiskopf, still looking for his first victory of a struggling year, birdied the final hole for a 68 and was alone in second place at 204. Jack Nicklaus, who also birdied the final hole sinking a putt from off the green after the national television coverage had ended for the day had a 68 and was tied at 205 with struggling veterans Dale Douglass and Don Bies. "I'm to looking forward tomorrow," said Miller, who h capped a brilliant surge in April by winning the Tournament of Champions and has been on a exile from the tour most of the summer, playing only the U.S. four-mont- Opens and PGA championship over the last 10 weeks. "Some people are saying I'm in a slump, but the only thing is that I haven't been playing," said Miller, who could add $50,000 to his earnings of $205,567 with a victory here. Miller's round included seven birdies, but none of them were on putts longer than 15 feet. "I didn't hit any fantastic shots, but it was just 18 holes of good shots," Miller said. y There was a tie at 206 between Larry Ziegler, whose 72 included two double bogeys, one of them when he was penalized two strokes for an improper drop on the 12th and tour hole, veteran Jerry McGee, who had a and British - Douglass, a former exempt player whose game went to pieces the last two years when he had a job on the tournament players' policy board and was troubled by tendinitis, was the leader at the start of the day. But he quickly fell back with bogeys on the second and fourth holes while Bies momentarily took the lead. It was Miller, however, who had managed a seven under par total the first two days even while struggling with the short and easy par five holes here, who JOHNNY MILLER is study of concentration as he strokes birdie putt on the 18th hole at the Westchester Classic in Harrison, N.Y. niiii rrrn Miller, Simpson, and maybe Jones could be sensational on offense. Mulkins and McLain should be two of the WAC's top defensive players. Overall, the Rams are very pleased with their recruiting and front line talent. They will be competitive, but it's very unlikely even with all his emotionalism and tricks that Arslanian can get the Rams much higher than sixth.
