...gained a total of 135 yds. to U.C.L.A.'s 407. The Bruins fumbled the ball away on Missouri's goal line, had another touchdown nullified by a penalty, presented the Tigers with six free points on a blocked punt. It was quite a struggle until Quarterback Gary Beban engineered a 56-yd. scoring drive in the third quarter. After that, Halfback Mel Farr scooted for two TDs, and the Bruins won the game...
...that is almost impossible to field, because it travels only 30 yds. in the air, hits the ground and rolls around crazily. He was even accused of rigging microphones in his players' helmets, so that he could direct the action from the bench. And then he introduced Quarterback Beban, a spectacular sophomore who ran for 590 yds., passed for 1,483, and sparked the Bruins to a 7-2-1 season, including two of 1965's most stunning upsets-a 20-16 victory over archrival U.S.C., followed by a 14-12 Rose Bowl triumph over previously unbeaten Michigan...
...Beef Gang. This year, Beban is an inch taller (at 6 ft. 1 in.), 12 Ibs. heavier (at 195 Ibs.), and every bit as dangerous. Against Pitt, he scored two touchdowns on runs of 1 and 9 yds.; against Syracuse, he plunged 4 yds. for one score, set up another with a 47-yd. pass, and threw 13 yds. for a third. Against Missouri last week, he completed eleven out of 20 passes, for 204 yds. Even so, he is hardly a one-man team. Halfback Farr is a legitimate All-America candidate who has aver aged...
...said U.C.L.A. Coach Tommy Prothro-and his Bruins obviously shared the delusion. Outweighed by 13 lbs. per man, they intercepted three passes, recovered two fumbles, stopped Michigan State three times on fourth down with a yard or less to go. Only 19 and a sophomore, Quarterback Gary Beban scored two touchdowns, called most of U.C.L.A.'s plays himself (one exception: a successful onside kickoff, ordered by Prothro, that led to the Bruins' second TD), and going into the last quarter U.C.L.A. led 14-0. The shocked Spartans finally came out of their daze-too late. With seconds...
