Brandon. 1122 Ricks College Friday With one victory on the books, BYU's junior var- sity football team prepares for a 1 p.m. tilt with Kicks College this Friday in Provo. Starting at quarterback for the Kittens is Mike Jones who accounted for BYU's two aerial scores in 2 the upset of Mesa Community College two weeks ago. Jones replaces Steve Duddy, who is out with a knee injury. While the Vikings' record isn't too impressive at they have been in contention during most of their games. Ricks' lone victory was 19-- 6 win over the University of Utah junior varsity. The Kitten defense is likely to provide some stiff competition for McGlochin. Were it not for the superb play of the BYU linebackers and secondary, the Mesa Thunderbirds would have won with a sub-pperformance. But middle linebacker Marv Allen lived up to his billing with two second quarter interceptions. Weak safeties John Mannion and Steve Brady along with corner Kevin Walker all had second half interceptions against MCC. Brady will start at weak safety in a lineup change, according to the BYU coaches. Other changes in the lineup include Mike Mees moving up to a backup role at quarterback; veteran Ray Linford will start at offensive guard; and Bud Nelson will step into a backup role at flanker.
