Ronnie Knox backs out of Stanford game amid dispute
UCLA star Ronnie Knox says he is not in shape to face Stanford next Saturday after a feud involving his stepfather and UCLA coach Henry Sanders. The elder Knox had previously claimed Ronnie could play if fit, while UCLA athletic director Wilbur Johns labeled the elder's stance ridiculous. Ronnie played briefly against Oregon State, contributing to a 38-0 win, as doctors had approved his return. The situation centers on Ronnie's fitness and his authority structure at UCLA.
