"When you're out there playing a football game, nobody's intentionally trying to go after someone. You're going to try to hit somebody. When you've got a great back you're going to go after him. You're going to put a little mxe emphasis on a Redwine or a Wilder (Missouri's James), a Greg Pruitt or a Billy Sims. You'd better go after them pretty good or they're going to hurt you. "Nobody is trying to hurt anybody: it's just that when you're a great back you'd better be ready to have people come after you. That's been in football as long as football bas been played.

STATE OREM Frosh Shouldn't arly Compete BOSTON (UPI) Some New England foo- tball coaches think freshmen should have their own teams and not be allowed to participate in varsity sports until their sophomore year. Xharga any purchaaa now through Novambar 29th . . . pay In January without a fInanea charga! But the same coaches also realize economics dictates the sports budgets and it's easier in many cases to have one football squad than two. The ticklish question of freshmen eligibility will be discussed at the January convention of the NCAA. The Big 10 reportedly favors rescinding the freshmen eligibility rule while the PAC 10 wants freshmen to have better grades in high school before they can play varsity sports. "We don't have freshmen eligibility and it's a good rule," Harvard coach Joe Restic said Tuesday. "The idea is to keep people involved in sports.
