When he came to UCLA five years ago he was given a five-year contract and an option for an additional five. So with the option now due, Red has just com pleted a perfect season with a team that scored 367 points, more than any other Bruin aggregation, and allowed opponents just 40. So there is a good possibility the option will be torn up and a new contract written with a pay boost just in case another school might try to hire Sanders away. And as a precautionary meas ureT' alumni and undergraduate groups were reported to have launched a "Keep Red Sanders" movement. Sanders said - he hasn't given much thought to the contract situ ation.
