As a team, the Dodgers have quality pitchers But Of the As have the edge in numbers To some critics of intercollegiate sports, transfer k a bad word, but dont argue it with Jim Young, the very .Successful football coach at the Umversity of Arizona. Those who dislike the idea of athletes transferring from one school to another give the impression such Athletes are bums who around. Or, they may look upon them as troublemakers or flunk-outEven the NCAA penalizes the Jranster by making him lay out a Jear or red shirt from competition w h:le establishing his residence at the new school Within a conference, a transfer not only must red ihirt a year, but also, he will lose a year of eligibility for switching colleges. Obviously, there art-- many bonaiide reasons for any student to transfer, and these reasons apply to athletes, 19-- 9, )oo. that had Jim Young not tired of a fullback role at Ohio State and he hadnt witched to Bowling Green where he ould play more, the .football history of Arizona might have been very ' is quite possible Young, a studious young man who beiies the look of ihe average football coach, admits, The transfer was f probably the smartest thing I ever did. R wasnt that it brought Jim any added football Recognition, because Bowling Green hasn't been known as a major football power v ' But moving to Bowling Green put Young in 'association with Bo Schembechler, the Bowling Green line coach ? When Bo took over as head coach of Miami (Ohio) University in 1964, he hired the former fullback as his freshman coach. Moved to Ann Arbor 1 soon was promoted to offensive backfield Roach and working with Schembechler, contributed to the conference championmark and two ships in five years When Bo was hired at the Umversity of Michigan, his tirst appointment was Y'oung as chief assistant and defensive coordinator With Young coaching the defense, Michigan won 38 of 43 games and the defense ranked first or second nationally in defense against the score. 1 The Wolverines were second in overall defense ;nationally in 1971 and led m defense against scoring with a Y'oung Mid-Amen- average. t, And in 1972, the Michigan crew was fifth nationally in "pass defense and second in overall defense With that background, its no wonder Jim Young was I Jthe first choice of Dave Strack, when the latter left Michigan to become athletic director at Anzona. Turned Team Around Young doesn't impress you as a young man who . tosses off statements without thinking them out thoroughly, but he did shake the press a year ago when he told the Skywriters he didnt think he faced a rebuilding year. In effect, this was true because Anzona had a good collection of physical specimens on hand, but Bob Weber , and his staff couldnt seem to get them clicking Arizona had but one winning season in the preceding 'eight years, but Young said he could whip up a winner. He made good his boast, too, with a coehampionship m the WAC and an 8 3 season, in his first coaching season. I Even though he was voted Coach of the Year for his successes, Young wasnt satisfied. The championship had eluded him, and then there was that specter of Anzona Stale, which had beaten the Wildcats nine straight games. This fall, he hits Arizona off to a good start, as the only unbeaten team in the conference with victories over San Faso. Diego Stale, Indiana, New Mexico and Texas-E- l i Arizona plays the Utes in the Bob Rice stadium !s.iturday night.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -The uiinnt World Football League, fighting a senes of financial failures, cut the Jacksonville and Detroit franchises from the remainder of its 1374 schedule Thursday and announced it would continue to seek new investors for the teams. Commissioner Gary Davidson said plans to draft players from those two franchises into the league's 10 surviving teams had been several scrapped because potential investors have indicated that they wish to keep the teams intact for a fresh start next year." Davidson, who issued a at a WFL game statement between Southern California and Shreveport here Thursday night, said, We believe it w ould be best to keep these teams together whether they would be relocated or remain in their present cities for the 1975 season Davidson did not say if, when or whether the players on the Detroit and Jacksonville clubs would be paid, although he has previously said a contracts would be honored by the league Players on both squads have gone weeks without getting a check. By John Mooney Tribune Sports Editor Utah's gambling defense may have its hands full Saturday night against Arizona. whose quarterback, Bruce Hill, agrees all gamblers die broke The Utes fired off the line and pretty well smothered John Sciarra, the UCLA quarterback candidate last week and took away his option threat. But the Brum wide runners ran wild after Sciarra made his pitch. Now, according to Hill, such tactics w ill backfire against the Ute defense Saturday mght in the Bob Rice stadium Opens Up Passing "With our offense, teams dont stunt very much on defense, because they are conscious, uwried ihat our attack can launch a score from anywhere on the big-pla- y field We force the defense to play it straight, Hill admits, so we go out, run our normal stuff and then adjust to the defense bring used hen we are readv to roll.
