...score stood at 0-0 through most of the competition, but a long touchdown pass from Marc M. "Bubba" Sadowsky to Jonathan H. "Crazylegs" Alter sent the Crimson surging into the lead. The Law Review defensive line, porous with loopholes, collapsed under the Crimson pressure after that point...
...help but think of the Bubba Smith commercial. Bubba, not a bad defensive end himself a few years back, now sells Lite beer from Miller. "When I used to play," Bubba says, "I'd tackle the entire backfield and throw out the guys I didn't need." Now Bubba doesn't need calories, hence the Lite beer...
Certainly with respect to the hated D.I., long noted for torturing and abusing recruits in the guise of "building men," reform has been slow in coming -as Bubba McClure learned too late. A born loser and high school dropout from Lufkin, Texas, McClure had been rejected by the Army and Air Force before he somehow passed the Armed Forces Qualification Test in San Antonio, after failing it in Lufkin.

Viewed as the second coming of Bubba Smith, the huge Oakland Raiders (former Baltimore Colts) defensive end who crunches quarterbacks like crackerjacks, Jones figures to be the pros' No. 1 draft choice this year. With 4.7 sec. speed in the 40-yd. dash, he is "frighteningly intense," say the scouts-a "real door jam" against the offense. He led Tennessee State to an undefeated season this year (TIME, Nov. 12).
