...cornerback Mark Kachmer, safety Walt Catlado, and linebacker Tom Cole, the Bruin defense has grudgingly given up only 10 points per game against perhaps the toughest early-season schedule in the league...

And while national figures on teenage use are not available, local surveys in Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Massachusetts suggest that between 20% and 40% of high school boys are chewing or dipping. No less worrisome...
