Under Coach Bob Weber, Arizona won 16 and lost 26 games in four years.

Well flop our defense, to have certain backs always playing against the wide side of the field. We want quickness instead of size if we must choose. We want gang pursuit and tackling. The rush end, the wide linebacker, the wildcat or monster man and the wide halfback will always be playing on the side where theres the most distance between the ball and the sideline. 5-- On offense well use split backs with the option, but well pass from the pocket a lot. The fullback and halfbacks will flop and weU expect the men to know all po-- i sitions but quarterback. While the offense appears inexperienced, we have some quality football players. Jim Upchurch at fullback is one of the best runners in the conference, I believe. We have Willie Hamilton at one halfback and Willies great speed makes him a threat as a kick return specialist, too. We have Jerry Davis, who started last season at quarterback, currently running behind Soph Bruce Hill, who is an excellent football player, Young added.

But Romans manager, Bill Daley screamed he would file a protest concerning th first knockdown. ? And afterward, Craig and his crew members chanted their Looking Glass refrain over and over in celebration of the record and the narrow escape from injury or death. Time Passes almost nine years Well, later Craig had another wild ride on the Bonneville Salt Flats in another as he travels along taking a series of small steps he hopes three-wheel- will lead him to the one giant step back to recognition as the fastest man on wheels. To regain the worlds land speed record he lost to Gary Gabelich and the rocket car Blue Flame. Craig is developing a rocket car of his own. He brought a smad version of the iand speed model to the Salt Flats this week to go after a series of standing start records earlier this week. He had broken the standing mile record and w'as on the first run of the quarter-mil- e attempt. The record for two runs in thp quarter is 5.66 seconds. Craig's car whipped through the timing clocks in 4.765 seconds when the tried to fly. three-wheel- Breedlove brought the car beck under control' and rode out the threat safely, but the rear end of the car was damaged calling off runs until repairs could be made. In Hangar Breedlove and his crew have been busy repairing the car in a hanger at Air Utah and Friday Craig said he expected it to continue to be ready for his series of record assaults Wednesday. And the driver who first boosted the land speed record to 400, 500, and 600 mph, talked about what happened and of his plans for future land speed record runs at Bonneville. My impression from the 6-- All-WA- C r. cockpit was that the car took off and did a slow roll in the air, he said, but there were two me what happened. who told The car didnt roll. It turned 90 degrees to the left and the air pressure collapsed the lower portion of the nose which gave it an aerodynamic lifting ramp sitting sideways that picked up the front of the car. At the same time the chutes were popped and this kept the car vertical, standing right on its tail. The rear chute opened then pulling out the rear frame structure just enough to instantaneously stabilize the car so it continued about 500 feet with th nose in the air but gradually falling back to the ground. When it touched down it touched softly and went into a series of spins. About the fourth time around I gained control, stepped on the brakes bringing it to a halt, turning off the throttle, the switches and just shutting down the rocket mechanism. fr It all happend quickly but it seemed like an eternity to me. I just sat there waiting for the crash and expecting the worse and it never came, he said. . The Reason Breedlove said the reason car in a hangar at Air Utah he had removed the rear wheel fairings and the loss of weight, plus the fact the salt is slipperier and wetter than asphalt, caused the tires to be overcome by aerodynamics and the car took off.
