...Look Foolish." Nothing came of it until last week when alert, 16s-lb. Quarterback LeBaron began whipping a squad of Pacific football seniors and alumni into shape. In the dead of winter, without the official blessing of either school, LeBaron was going to have his day in the Grape Bowl stadium in Lodi, Calif, against unpredictable, 175-lb.
