By JOHN R. LONG United Press International LONG BEACH, CaW. (UPD Washington's Huskies, who made it into Wednesday's Rose Bowl game on the strength of a running attack built around the fullback position, received a belated Christmas present with the news that their No. 1 boy, Junior Coffey, might see action against Illinois after all. Husky hopes for a victory in the New Year's Day football classic received a jarring set back Dec. 21 when it was an nounced that Coffey had broken a small bone in his left foot and would miss Wednesday's game. But five days later it was an nounced that Coffey's break was not as serious as believed at first and that the jarring 201-pound Unesmasher might be available for use against the ll lini. Coffey missed the first four games of the 1963 season with injuries to his right foota Wash ington lost three of those con tests. ' Impressive Statistics During the season, Coffey Replaces ball team in the United Prss International coaches' ratings.

Even if doctors have to re vise their opinion at the last minute and decide that Coffey can't play against Illinois, the situation might not be as disas trous as would seem at first glance.

Browning had some very im pressive statistics of his own during the regular season, in cluding an average of 5.0 yards per carry. The Huskies also have one other break going for them Wednesday.
