Alternating his ground attack with Lopasky and fullback Bobby Biczina, Roland brought the Cougars back with a 52 - yard drive climaxed by Lopsaky's three California Assemblyman Says Wrestling Disgrace LOS ANGELES (UPP-A stale assemblyman Saturday branded wrestling as "a disgrace to Cal-1 ifornia" and said a legislative committee which he heads would recommend it be divorced from the Athletic Commission and con trolled "as a carnival or circus." And although his committee does not plan to recommend the abolishment of boxing in Cal ifornia, "probably someone else will." predicted Assembly man Lester A. McMillan, D-Los Angel es. McMillan is chairman of the im portant Assembly Committee on Governmental Efficiency and Ec onomy, which has been proving all phases of boxing and wrestling since shortly alter the tragic ring death of Benny 'Kid' Paret last April. "There was great sentiment on the committee lo recommend that boxing be abolished completely." McMillan said. "But the senti ment was not unanimous, or even in tiie majority " Gov. Edmund G. Brown, long an advocate of abolishing boxing, has not yet announced whether he will push to have it outlawed dur ing the coming legislative session. McMillan said his committee's recommendations are included in a report to the Legislature sched uled to be released Monday.

Today he is broke, has no future1 in his chosen w ork, and has very little education. He has a wife and three children to support. So who's to blame? No one in particular. But many in general. Let s go back to Ed die's earlier years. Machen was brought un in the bustling little city of Redding in Northern California From the yard plunge. Bill McMillan kicked his first of seven straight con versions. Roland hit 11 of 17 passes for 199 yards as he mixed up his running and passing allack for an explosive second quarter scoring spurt of 28 points to put the game. on ice for Houston. In the second quarter scoring Roland spotted Brezina on a 44- yard pass play. Lopasky streaked loose on his brilliant 70-yard punt return, Brezina plunged for a yard and Roland hit McMillan with a five-yard pass to give the Cougars a 35-7 halftime lead. Kellermann switched from the T-formation to a spread shotgun otiense wnen tne riccisKins, wno upset Purdue in regular season play, returned for the second half and engineered a 75-yard drive said the report would suggest sev eral ways to increase boxing safely. "But as for wrestling." he said, it was the unanimous contention of the 11-memher committee that it be divorced completely from the Athletic Commission." It's only an exhibition any way, he said, and we felt it was degrading for the state to participate in such a disgrace. McMillan said he advocated placing wrestling under the juris diction of local authorities. "Let them handle it as they would a carnival or circus," he said. "We discussed this thing rather extensively, and everyone-except the wrestling and boxing people agreed it should be divorced from the commission." In Sacramento, Jack Urch. ex ecutive officer of tlie stale Ath letic Commission, said he would have "no comment" on the mat ter until he sees the report. "I didn't even know they were investigating wrestling, I thought it was just boxing." he said. "Frankly, I m completely s u r- prised." Wrestling is legally termed an "exhibition," not a "sport," in California. "Personally. I think it's actual ly been an exhibition since the 1920s," Urich said.
