At the conclusion of the By CLIPPER SMITH WHEN the final gun sounded yesterday in our game with the Olympic Club I was utterly disgusted witji the "ragged offensive showing of my team, but as I walked across the field, wearing cleats, to accept the congratulations of Coach Mike Voyne, I found the footing treacherous.

I was slipping and sliding aind I came to the conclusion that my backs had made a phenomenal showing considering the oozy condition of the turf. How my backs were able to spin, cut and drive in this quagmire will always remain a mystery to me. On this field it was impossible for our linesmen to do any effective straight ahead charging to enableUs to experiment with our fullbacks in our straight ahead plunging game.

Criticism In the column, the notice said, was considered "contrary to the best interests of the team." U. S.

F. Dons. The boys from the transbay hill top cast a new light upon Stanford's team. The Indian attack that appeared unstoppable against Northwestern functioned The Broncos could not score, but they were dangerous and a few plays later Sobrero flung a beautiful pass to Dutton, who over the end zone and no score resulted. Seaman Smith groaned at this juncture.

Into the game went Don De Rosa and Thomas. Immediately, De Rosa spun through the Club line for 5 yards and a score, but once again the play was called lark. The Broncos had shifted illegally. This Smith groaned louder. He couldn't keep his eyes off the ball which had been moved back 15 precious yards.

But the Broncos were not to be denied. De Rosa faked a pass to Thomas, who had gone out into the flat and shot the ball to Salatino for a 20-yard pass and a score. Falaschi's kick was wide. Seaman Smith groaned, nevertheless. Into the game went Ray KaliskL the famed Oakland speedster.

He took the next kickoff, went straight up the "tunnel" for 60 yards. Seaman Smith actually smiled. Then, on the next play, the Broncos went 30 yards for their second and final score. The play was so spectacular and well-executed that we must go into detail because Smith clapped his hands when he it work. IT'S DE ROSA AGAIN The ball came to De Rosa, who gave it to "Catfish" Smith on an end-around.

De Rosa followed Smith, who lateralled the ball to Salatino, who lateralled the ball to De Rosa, who ran the 30 yards for the score. The play was magnificently well-executed, despite the very slippery ball and the heavy field. You can expect this play to be copied immediately. Kallskl converted. The play was so smart that the Olympians actually cheered Santa Clara.

The ever-fearful Seaman Smith did not stop groaning, however. A few minute later, after the Broncos had pushed the Olym-nians down in lhli n.mnl angles in retrospect, except possibly greater credit for Eddie Erdelatz, the great St. Mary's end. One expert called him one of the best ends who ever played in New York. GIVEN DEFENSIVE DUTY In addition to catching the two passes which brought St.

Mary's its two touchdowns, Eddie was assigned on defense the difficult job of stopping Joe Maniaci, Ram half, and he did that gloriously. The only time the Ram speedster got away was on the intercepted pass he ran 80 yards to a touchdown, which wasn't Erdelatz' fault. Eddie was far down the field ready to catch the pass then. On offense Erdelatz' duty was to work on Fordham's two best tackles, Joe Ludinowicz and Ralph Wolden-dale. It was on off tackle plays through that side of the line that St.

Mary's piled up most of Us 2AA yards from scrimmage. And when necessary, he gained ground on end around plays. It was the steady, juggernaut line smashing for three, five, eight and ten yards with an occasional burst of 18 or 20 yards that gave the Galloping Gaels their tremendous advantage over Fordham. The Rams couldn't compete with that sort of thing. St.

Mary's line, which went through the entire game with only one substitution nnd that for a mattpr of two minutes was blocking Saturday as a team should. Coupled with excellent interference by the backs, the ball carriers had a chance to go-t-and, how they did. That was the reason for 21 first downs, to four for the Rams. NO WORK EN ROUTE Read the list of iron men of the line: Felix Penninn, Herm MeisteT, Marty Kirdick, Wag Jorgensen, Nebb Elduayan, John Yezerski and Erdelatz. There will be no workout for any of the Gaels until they arrive home but then Madigan will get down to work for Washington State.

New Tork papers landed the Gaels to the top of the Empire State Building, than which there is nothing with more altitude In Gotham except Its prices. Every writer credited the boys from California with overwhelming superiority and If Senor Joaquin Moraga, for whom the valley was named, could hear and read the praise of the players who bear his name as one of their many cognomens, he would be proud Indeed. OFFICIATING DIFFERENT Officiating in New York is different than in California, but it was Impartial and the rivals broke even on the day. There were times when rule violations were overlooked, one outstanding play being that in which Tony Sarausky, trying to pass, was tackled 10 or 12 yards behind the line and the ball rolled out of his hands and back toward Fordham's goal. St.

Mary's recovered, but It was ruled an Incomplete pass although there was nobody behind Sarausky and he didn't try to pass. It should have been the Gaels ball at the point of recovery, but all St. Mary's got was possession where the play began. But that was evened by decisions which went against Fordham. St.

Mary's supporters had a big time in New York Saturday night and Sunday morning, leaving at m. for Montreal. In Canada's largest city the party went sight lng the ball for a march that eventually culminated in the field goal by the reliable Monk Moscrip. Stanford still has Bobby C.ray-on. Bones Hamilton and Frank Alustiza, however and while they're in the lineup the Indians will always be a threat to score from any point on the field.

Defensively the Indians upheld their reputation. When the first Indian line is on the field, there's little to desire defensively. Poor Spud Lewis. The "schoolboy coach" of the Dons earned the reputation of the Coast's leading hard luck coach last year when his boys came close so often that it became tiresome, but he has come Just as close or closer this year. Spud started the season with four "Big Shots" to knock over.

He succeeded in downing Oregon State but lost to Santa Clara, 6 to 0, and then to Stanford, 3 to 0, St. lone remains of the Quartet. That WZmH: MS. 4 1 Local Motor Rider Seeks National Fame Battling for the honor of being the first Northern California rider to crash the ranks of America's scratch line riders, three northern aces will fight it out on even yardage in the clash of the two-wheelers at Emeryville Motorcycle Speedway tomorrow night. The three, Garland Johnson of Oakland, Al Owen, San Jose rookie and Sam Arena, reigning northern champion, will wage their battles from the 10-yard line for the first time In the meet as the result of the handlcapper's check of their sensational speed work in last week's races.

They will face the competition of Wilbur Lamoreaux, the former national champion who has deserted the trophy race in the south in order to steal a march' on tire other scratch-line aces in the torrid competition for the Emeryville track title. Pete Tripodes Will Grapple Tony Silva Pete Trlpodes, Oakland's wandering matman, who recently returned from a sojourn In Hollywood, will grapple Tony Silva of Portugal In the headline match of Duffy's Oym-tiasium athletic program tonight Last week Tripodes tangled with "Red" Martin at the gym smoker, the performance almost precipitating a riot due to its excessive roughness.

Jimmy Phelan's Washington Huskies were idle Saturday and Jimmy spent the day watching Stanford while Cotton Wilcox, backfield coach, took lrt the California-Bruin game. Wilcox declared that Matt Muczynski, star halfback, will definitely be out of the game with a bad Charley horse, but we recall early-season stories that had Matt out for the year with a broken arm, only to find that he scored a couple of touchdowns the following Saturday. So let's wait and see. The Huskies figure that their main task is to score, so highly Impressed were the bosses over California's defense. Despite assurance from everyone Who has seen, the Trojans in action, las seen Jack Baat, former Gael half, on third down, passed 40 yards to Hubbard, end and former San Jose speedster, who gathered the ball In and ran the remaining 40 yards for a score.

Parted kick was well-hit, but wide. All this happened in the first half. Seaman Smith's anxiety increased, however, as he watched Parte do some marvelous defensive work. It was also a source of concern to see the Olympians, with Baat throwing, make the Santa Clara pass defense look like a aievn.
