in a more solid manner in '75.

0-9 Missouri dropoff. The interior defensive line is solid

1975 OUTLOOK "Revive -'75!"
That's the battle cry at Arizona State
for the 1975 football season.
Not that 1974 was all that bad. But
seven wins in a season just won't cut it for
Frank Kush, the Punishing Polack.
But hope springs eternal. Kush's Kids of
.74 are now Kush's Young Men of '75.
