Ily WAKKEN WILSON Arizona's primfe midget leadfoots, who have not been in competition for the past several weeks. will once again square off in another putt-putt festival at 2 o'clock this afternoon on the Phoenix Speedway oval.

The Speedway called a halt to its usual Thursday night performances some weeks ago because of cold weather, but now is reported to be in full strength for today's card. The Arizona Midget Own ers and Drivers Club has indicated that all henpsare in top shape, with all familiar drivers on hand. Al Jaquith, Jimmy Bryan, Bob Ball, Art Hargraves, Danny Wood and Bob Hornbrook, the six leading point-contenders on the, Bears Stage Rally To Trip Stanford PALO ALTO, Nov. 22 (UP) A last ditch pass play that went for 80 yards and a touchdown brought the highly-favored University of California from the brink of defeat today and gave them a spine-tingling 21-18 victory over an underdog Stanford sleven that fought its heart out in search of its first victory of (Exclusive Republic Dispatch) CANYON, Nov. 22 A hard-running herd of West Texas State Buffaloes trampled a shivering bunch of Arizona State College of Temple Sun Devils here this afternoon, 35 to 7, before 2,500 With the temperature hovering near the 20 degree mark.

Coach Frank Kimbrough's Buffs scored in every quarter while holding the Devils to a lone third period score. The Buffs went 84 yards on two plays to score their first touchdown. After taking the ball on the Buffs' 16. Cross circled left end for 24 yards. Eddie Conner whippeted around right end for GO yards and the score.

Melton's second kick was good after the first was nullified by an offside penalty. THE BUFFS broke loose again late in the second quarter after intercepting a Devil pass on the ASC 48. With Lloyd Johnson doing the heavy work, the Buffs rolled the distance in eight plays, Johnson going over on an end sweep from the 28. Melton kicked the point. The half ended with the ball in West Texas possession.

The third period started off with an almost familiar note as the the year Burning Dream Takes Purse SAN MATEO, Nov. 22 (AP) With Johnny Long-den up and scoring his fifth win of the day, Mrs. John Pay-son Adams' Burning Dream today won the $10,000 added San Francisco Handicap over a mile and one sixteenth at Bay Meadows before a crowd of 14,505. Happy Issue ran second and Outotheblue third. The time was 1:43.

Burning Dream was off third in the nine-horse field. Outotheblue took command from the early leader, Byme-abond, at the half-mile pole and at one stage extended his lead to six lengths. Burning Dream came on to beat him to the wire and the fast-closing Happy Issue got up in the last strides to nose out Outotheblue for second. Burning Dream's winning margin was one length. The favorite, 'he returned $8.70, $4.40 and Happy Issue, $4.90 and and Outotheblue, $4.20.

LaBrucherie was congratulating Cravath in the dressing room hubbub just after Cravath's Trojan had clinched the Pacific Coast Conference title with a 6-0 win over the Uclans today. "The Trojans," LaBrucherie declared, "are the best club we played this year. We Splayed our best game equally as good as our Oregon State game but USC just had a little too much." Cravath returned the compliment by saying: "THE BRUINS WERE as tough as California (beaten by Troy, 33-14) and we were lucky to win." The USC coach admitted LaBru-cherie's new defenses and a refurbished double-wing offense gave his team a few surprises, "but we caught on to 'em, fortunately." Both coaches had to be pressed to single out individual stars.

"Jack Klrby's running and paw catching (he caught the only scoring toss) didn't surprise me at alL" said Cravath. "He's been ready to roll for some time." LABRUCHERIE thought Cal Rossi and Jerry Shipkey were Bruin backfield standouts. Both coaches settled the line problem by saying: "They were all tough." Notre Dame's Frank Leahy was explicit on that point. "The Trojan line is mighty Impressive," declared the coach of the Irish who flew out personally to scout his next opponent. Notre Dame and USC tangle here December 6.

Michigan's scouts here to case their Rose Bowl opponent also expressed awe at the ruggedness of Troy's forwards. "THEY'RE BIGGER and maybe deeper than cur lines." said Ernie McCoy, assistant coach, seconded by Tony Valpi, line coach. But they added: "We hope to be faster." The Trojan dressing room was not the wildly exuberant scene sometimes created by a winning team. The men of Troy knew they had been through a tough one and apparently didn't have much steam left to let off. The hard-fought game finished with a short fistic flurry between Bob Mike, UCLA tackle, and an unidentified Trojan, but no damage was done.

The most noise in the subdued Bruin quarters was made by reporters and condoling alumni. Hillt oppers Thump Cats (Continued From Page One) Its 20. and drove from there tn touchdown. Enke sparked tha attack, racing through the line for two first downs, passing to Larson for 16 yards, and finally flipping a loucnaown pass to Larson in the end zone from 17 yards oat. After Gofrs conversion it was 33 to 14 for Marquette with nine minutes gone.

Marquette returned the kickoff to the 27 but was forced to punt, Arizona taking over on its 29. Enke hit Smith for a 26-yard pass. Two Marquette offsides gave Arizona the ball on the Illlltoppers 30 and then Enke lobbed a hieh nass which Smith took away from a Marquette oacK a wrestling match on the two. Enke drove over from there In two shots and Goff converted to make It 33 to 21 with 90 arconds left to play in the period. Marquette had the ball on Its 32 when the gun sounded.

Fourth Quarter A quick kick and a clipping penalty put Arizona on its own 20. Enke passed to Goff for IS yards, but a series of passes fizzled and Arizona punted dead on the Marquette 14. The Golden Avalanche drove down the field from there, Pitrof and Salceda doing the gaining for the Hilltoppers. Harry Var-ner was thumbed out of the game, and Arizona penalized to the 12. Three plays put it on the 3V4, and Pitrof bowled over left tackle for the final touchdown.

Salceda's eon-version was wide but It was 39 to 21 with six minutes to go. Arizona returned the kickoff to the 2.1. and a nlaver from arh team Larson of Arizona and Dick Scherer of Marquette were chased out of the game. Enke broke loose on one run of 18 yards, but Salceda halted the progression bq intercepting a pass on the Mar quette 17. After Marquette punted.

Kan, Nov. 22 (INS) Forrest Griffith pushed over the goal line with one minute. 10 seconds remaining today to give the undefeated Kansas Jayhawks a 20-14 home-corn' ing victory over Missouri before 37.000.

The victory assured Kansas of at least a leg of the Big Six championship which it shared last year with the Oklahoma Sooners. Griffith's score came after the Kansans began a downfield drive from their own one yard stripe when thy regained the ball on downs. The plucky Kansai fullback bulled his way across the goal from the nine-yard Una on four sjlfcaight bucks. By ARNOTT DUNCAN Mesa's defending state football champions will have five and some say six candidates for all state this year that will be hard to beat. Not having seen enough games, we will be content to throw the load on high school coaches and officials to pick the all-state as in years past.

It will be interesting to see who will beat out Mesa's Bill Glazier at end, Gary Feezor at tackle, Gene Johnston at tackle, Bill Workman at center, and Dan Russell at quar terback. The sixth man being plugged by Rabbit rooters is Don McCiintock at halfback. OFFHAND, we have seen a few and beard of a few others wbo will undoubtedly get tome votes and mind you, now, we make pretense of picking the best as we haven't seen enough. RUNNING OVER the ends we have seen we remember Eoyd Clements of North and Hal Cunningham of Tucson as among the better. Jim Dohse of St Mary's is a good defensive man.

Keith Mayberry of Glendale, an all-stater last year, has been out much of this season with injuries and also has bulwarked the center of the Cardinal line since then. Finding a spot for him would be difficult, but his value to his team merits consideration. Others talked about are Ralph Echave of Bisbee and Bill Barney of Safford. TOM FALLON of St. Mary's, Gene Brown of Phoenix Union and Bob Walker of North Phoenix all are fine tackle 3 prospects.

From the North the word is Al Jo Suncelia of Wil- lianas who looked good Iat year in the North-South game. CHUCK JOYCE of St. Mary'sL looks like a cinch for one of the guard slots. Joe Jacobs of Tucson and Roy Alba of Phoenix Union have looked very good. Tempe, which must have some other outstanding men to compile its fine record, is proud of Frank Saylor as a guard.

At center Johnny Black of Phoenix Union considers his Joe Propati the equal of Workman. The ex pected light for honors between the two failed to materialize wnen Propati suffered ft recurrence of a broken nose early in the Mesa-coy ote tilt. HALFBACKS, as usual, are a dime a dozen as far as back-lag is concerned. Gib Dawson ef Douglas, an all-stater year, is another injury victim this campaign, having suXfered a side banging tn addition to a bum knee. A recent comer is Arney Peterson who has piteh-and run North Phoenix to two vpsrt wins over Yuma and Albuquerque recently.

HARGRAVES held the top rung position in the point standings for several months but Jaquith's string of victories and a Hargraves collision put the clamp on the latter's lead. Since July Jaquith has been pushed for the high honor by Bryan and Ball, but neither of those leadfoots could take the reigns.

Oregon Tops Beavers, 14-6 EUGENE, Nov. 22 (AP) The favored Oregon Webfoots, outplaying their rivals in all but one quarter, overcame the Oregon State Beavers, 14-6. in their last Pacific Coast Conference game today. Some 20,000 fans at the 51st "civil war" classic saw Oregon's right halfback, George Bell, n- tercept an Oregon State pass on his own two-yard line, and then, on the next play, run 78 yards to a touchdown.

It was the game's most spectacular play and it came in the only quarter the third In which Oregon State carried the offensive. The Beavers had just taken a 6-0 lead, after a scoreless first half, and were driving again into Oregon territory. Then Dick Gray, Beaver halfback, tossed pass. Bell intercepted it on his own two-yard line, and ran it back to the Oregon 22. On the next play, Bell ran around left end on a lateral pass from Norm Van Brocklin, quarterback, and raced 78 yards to score.

Oregon's other tally came in the fourth quarter on a 64-yard march. From the Beavers' 24-yard line Van Brocklin tossed a pass to Dar-rell Robinson, right end, who caught it on the goal line and went over. Jake Leicht, stellar Oregon halfback playing his final college game, convened both extra points. Run Of 104 Yards High Light Of Win ATHENS. Nov.

Panther history, was quick to Nittany Lions. he declared emphatically. "I didn't but I didn't expect to win." Cleveland clinched the Western division crown in the All-America last week and the Yankees have a safe lead over runner-up Buffalo with only three to play. It still is possible for New York to lose out by dropping two of the three but most observers regard that as un likely.

The Yanks expect their largest crowd in history for the big game with Cleveland, a club they never have beaten. BOTH PITTSBURGH, the East em division leaders of the National League, and the Chicago Cardinals, who top the Western half, cannot make play-off plans until a much later date. In fact the Cards may not know the answer to their title bid until December 14 when they have an important date with the Chicago Bears. A game in front of the Bears, the Cardinals tomorrow play the Redskins in Washington. George Halas' Boars are at home to Pittsburgh in the "game of the day" in the National.

Pittsburgh leads runner-up Phil adelphia by half a game with three to go as compared to four for the Eagles. While the Stcelers are at Chicago, Steve Van Buren and Co. from Philadelphia visit Boston for a return engagement with the Bos ton Yanks, whom they drubbed last Sunday, 32-0. STEVE OWEN'S winless New York Giants, whose best effort In eight starts- was a tie, entertain the Green Bay Packers, always a good drawing card in the Polo Grounds. The Packers have not been mathematically eliminated from the Western, half race but they face a nearly impossible task.

Detroit and Los Angeles battle to stay out of the Western division cellar at Los Angeles. All-America interest centers on the Yankee-Brown game but Buffalo has an important engagement in Baltimore against the lowly Colts who always are a threat with Bud Schwenk throwing forward passes.

23-year-old development of San Diego High School and State College, today became the first Negro to fix his signature to a Pacifiic Coast League contract when he signed with the San Diego Padres as a catcher. Bill Starr, Padre president, made the announcement in his office and, while sportswriters, photographers and club officials looked on, Ritchey signed the contract to break down another barrier between the Negro and organized baseball. Ritchey, 171-pound youngest son of a well-known San Diego ath letic family told newsmen he was "happy at this opportunity." Starr, who disclosed 'the Padres had scouted Ritchey during the 1947 season when Ritchey was a 369 hitter with the Chicago Giant of the American Negro League, said he was confident his newest player would be a valuable addition to the San Diego roster.

Tulsa Rallies. To Rap Detroit TULSA, Nov. 22 (AP) The University of Tulsa's Golden Hurricane hit the peak of Its football season today to upset the University of Detroit, 30-20 on quarterback Jim Fink's passing and great ball carrying by halfbacks J. R. Boone and Jimmy Ford.

Ten thousand chilled fans saw the Hurricane outscore their heavier opponents, three touchdowns to one, in the last to quarters after trailing 13-12 at mlftlme. Buffs again scored on the second play. CROSS TOOK Jim Montgomery's kickoff and returned it to the 39. On the first play from scrimmage Berl Huitt broke through the middle of the Devil 1ne a1 1 yards in the clear. Melton made three in a row, 'he sluggish Devils came to life iway in the third period with wilford White sparking the only touchdown drive.

Barnett returhed 'Conner's quick-kick to the Devil 46. White rocketed through right tackle, reversed his field and was pulled down on the West Texas 28. AFTER WinTE and Phil Per-rino alternated in carrying the ball Sammy Lewis went over from the four on a reverse. White's kick was good. Starting the final quarter with a bang, the Buffs took the ball on the Tempe 24 when Melton intercepted a Charlie Beall-propelled pass on the midfield stripe and moved 26 yards before being dragged down.

Eight plays later, Box went over from the one-foot line on a quarterback sneak. Melton's quick was again down the middle. WEST TEXAS'S third string came in for their share of glory when, with only 45 seconds remaining in the ball game Ray Moore threw ah end zone pass to Clyde Ivey from the five-yard line. Melton made it five for five in the conversion department. Clary Wyatt, 160-pound guard, Captain Montgomery, White and Bill Gosselin were mentioned by Coach Ed Doherty as standouts for the Devils.

Loose tackling and poor blocking kept the Devils in hot water all afternoon. Buff backs breaking away consistently for long runs after being hit behind their own line. The Buffs used every man on the bench. The Devils leave Ama-rillo at 9:30 o'clock tonight, arriving in Tempe 8:30 tomorrow night. Princeton Ekes Out 14-12 Win PRINCETON, N.

Nov. 22 (INS) Princeton's football team was hard pressed today to eke out a 14-12 decision over Dartmouth after piling up a two-touchdown lead in the first three periods. A strong Dartmouth aerial rally in the final period netted two touchdowns, both on passes by Joe Sullivan, quarterback, but the failure of the Indians to convert cost them a tie. Ken Jeuffol brought victory to favored Princeton by converting after both of Princeton's touchdowns, made by Dick West and George Franke after sustained drives. Hammer-Lock Dies BOWIE.

Colorado Aggies Thump Wyoming FORT COLLINS, Nov. 22 (AP) The Colorado A and College Rams passed and powered their way to two last-half touchdowns today to defeat Wyoming, 21-6, and clinch fifth place in the Big Seven football standings. In a rough game, played on a muddy field, the officials marched off 186 yards in penalties, 121 aainst tho Rums. Rule infractions hampered several Ram drives but Wyoming was hurt, too, when a 15-yard holding penalty set up, the I last Colorado A and touchdown.

Trailing, 18 to 14, with only three minutes of play remaining, California's fullback, Jackie Jensen, faded back to his own 10 and uncorked a cross-field pass to Paul Keckley in midfield. The fleet halfback raced the rest of the way unmolested to send Stanford down to its ninth straight defeat of the year. The 85,000 fans looking on in the huge Stanford bowl saw Coach Afarchie Schwartz Indians, l-to-10 underdogs, put on one of the greatest comeback exhibitions in the long history of the annual "Big Game." THE POWERFUL BEARS, who once looked Rose Bowl-wards, were outplayed half the game. The Stanford club, which has not won a victory since the "Big Game" against California last year, took a moral victory to its dressing room. It was California's ninth win In 10 starts this year under Its new coach, Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf.

Until that prayer pass that came as night closed in on the bowl, the Stanford boys appeared to have the game tucked away. had come from behind and, with the score, 14 to 12, against them, rallied midway in the last period for a 66-yard touchdown march climaxed when Don Campbell, quarterback, tossed a pass to Bob Anderson in the end zone. AS TIIE STANFORD fans hysterically anticipated the biggest upset in the history of the series that dates back to 1892, the gambling instincts of the Bears paid off. California had nothing to lose and plunged on that desperate cross-field pass which, had It been intercepted, would have meant another sure touchdown for the Indians. Completed, it told the story.

But the accurate toe of Jim Cullom, California guard, a blocked Stanford conversion, and two missed try by the Indians also told the tale of defeat. California, 25-point favorite, started off as though it intended to make it a walkaway. On the seventh play of the game, Ted Kenfield, halfback, cut over tackle, then reversed his field and sped 30 yards for a touchdown after three minutes of play. Cullom converted the first of his three points that were the margin of victory. TIIE INDIANS came raging back in the second quarter with a 65-yard march featuring the passes of Ainslie Bell with the pay off 12-yarder to Wayne Erickson, quarterback, the end zone.

George Quist then missed the first of the three costly conversion tries. California made it 14 to 6 at the half with a score in the closing 30 seconds of play on George Gong plunge from the one. An Indian threat in the third quarter was squashed when California intercepted a pass In the end zone. But Stanford came pounding down on a 36-yard march that was climaxed when Erickson went around end for five yards and a score to make it 12 to 14. The Bear then held until that 64-yard drive put Stan ford in front for the first time midway in the final stanza a lead that held until the game-saving surprise pass of California.
