He hu great poise and throws the ball well. Their kids really fly around on defense, I-DO. Wallace views the contest an probably one of our toughest games of the season. Missouri Southern ls big, fast and will be mentally up for this game, I be- lieve the team that wants the game the most will win it. It shapes up as a real tough one. The contest matches Miami's explosive passing game against the Lions' potent ground game. featuring the slashing running of halfbaclewesley Garnett and the bruising plunges of fullback Johnny tT'he Bull? Mack. Garnett has been held score- less in only one game this sea- son, with Eastern's defenders turning in the whitewash job last week. The fleet freshman from Pittsburgh., Pa., has rushed for 829 yards on 67 trips this season, a 9.4 average per carry. He's scored 13 touchdowns for 78 points. Mack, a 212-pound sophomore from Kansas City, has picked up 392 yards on 61 carries for a 6.4 average. but the hard-running fullback missed the Lions' last two outings due to an injury. Peacock, a Gtoot, 205-pound sophomore from Pahokee, Fla., has thrown for 1.006 yards and H touchdowns this season. com- Eleting 78 of 168 passes. He's ad 10 tosses intercepted. Peacock's favorite pass targets have been starting ends Don Gramling and Al Simmons. Gramling has caught 20 passes for 352 yards and seven touch- downs. Simmons has snared 19 Peacock pitches for 171 yards and three tallies. Peacock will have Richard Sanchez l175l and Danny Mills H501 at the halves and Al Con- suegra C1751 at fullback tonight. Consuegra leads the club ln rush- ing with 494 yards on 121 carries tor a 4.8 average per try, Terry McMillan, a 6-l, 175- pound freshman from Coral Gables. Fla.. will call the offensive shots for the Lions. I-le'll have Garnett and Hamid Fountain f790l at the halves and Mack at fullback. Defensively, Southem's Kami- kaze unit will have Phil Wil- liams and Dave Krismen at ends. Larry Shelton and Gayland Fix at guards, Gary Mattias and Jerry LaRue at tackles, Jay Barnhart and Dave Williamson at linehackers.
