"Bill has had a lot of bad luck" said USC coach Paul Dietzel. "This past spring when we felt he was looking just great he turned hi3 ankle while doing really nothing. Basically I think he is a good holler guy and as he gets more confidence he will be better." "I am not very big for a linebacker," said Cregar. "You have to be big and strong to be a good linebacker so I mainly have to rely on knowing the res#hsibilities 1:E~ 1Wl ! .

He hopes to get a shotat playing professional football whether it is in the NFL or the newly created World Football League. Many feel he might make it for some pro team because of his great speed for a linebacker (4.8 in the 40). He is able to cover a lot of ground. "People say that defense is easy to play because you are dishing out the punishment, but that is not. true, contrary to popular opinion," said Cregar. "You have to eet through the blockers to get the ball carrier and it just takes an awfully. good linebacker to do everything a linebacker is supposed to do." This is Cregar's final season at USC, and it ne does not get any pro offers he is' planning on going to dental school. He considers the Florida State upset one of the more exciting games of his career. On offense that night he rushed for nearly 70 yards in USC's 24-21 victory. "I always enjoyed the Clemson games," he said. "I really hope the fans stick with us after our loss to Georgia Tech. One game doe' not make a season and everybody needs to stay togetherif we are going to have a successful season." Cregar hopes that USC can go to a bowl game .It could be the last game he plays. )CKS ATTE WHO Vw ei 60d Mc* Then ewk ,6 edso Rip Top, p, Jvst MTeoAnb A wf. htsn, Way oe Frwmne Vo, ... eer)Mnestmr mrse.
