The victory, achieved before 85, gOO persons who scorned a driving ram 10 see tne "Wonaer gained the Californians a triple crown. It vanquished the Bears' most bitter rival, gave them the undisputed championship of the Pa. cific Coast Conference and made their Invitation to the Rose Bowl festivities merely a matter of formality.

TWO RELENTLESS DRIVES To win today California went Gen Tecumseh Sherman, one better and made two relentless, destructive, down the field drives. These marches the first of 76 yards, the second of 65 were just as ravaging to Stanford's hopes as the General's were to Georgia. With the big, mobile and fierce Bear line ripping the Stanford for ward wall to shreds, the Californian backs Bottari, Chapman, Anderson and Meek churned off tremendous chunks of yardage without a halt Both the touchdown drives, just at nearly all of California's surges this season, came in the second period. The Bears look over their opposition in the first period, size them up, and then start rolling. Once under way, there's hardly any stopping them, to precisely, so sharply and so wickedly do they block.

NEVER HAD CHANCE Stanford never had a chance all afternoon. The Indians showed oc casional bursts of power, but were never ableVto sustain a drive. It was not until the third period that they crossedWdfield, and their only real chance to score came in the final period, when Vic Bottari, a 60' minute player, fumbled, and Ander son, a tackle, recovered for Stan, ford on the Bears' 15-yard line. This threat was halted on the sec ond olav when California's fine center, Bob Herwig, intercepted a pass. With the game in its dying momenta, and many California sub stitutes on the field, the Indians, aided by a 15-yard penalty against the opposition, passed their way to California's 23-yard mark.

But aeain their touchdown bid was futile, the game ending as Paulman fired a wild pass deep Into the end zone. Bottari started his team off In its first Blorv march early in the sec end period when he took one of Paulman's booming punts and lugged it back to California's 23-yard marker. From this point until pay dirt was struck, 76 yards away, the Californians used nothing but out and out power. They did not throw a pass, did not resort to razzle-dazzle of any sort, bang-bang-bang the plays went through the line. Stanford knew what was coming, but was powerless to stop it.

13 SHOTS AT LINE The Bears required 13 shots at the line, and here's the way they went: Anderson and Bottari drove to the 86. Chapman sliced off tackle to Stanford's 42, shaking off three tacklers as he Anderson whacked left guard to the Fig uring Anderson was hot, Quarterback Meek let him foil, and the fullback plowed steadily onward to the Indians 9-yard mark. Chapman spelled him for one play, and pounded to the 5, Andersori then picked up one yard, with Bottari going over for the score Chapman's try for the point was low and outside, Stanford, figuring perhaps that the Californians would be winded by this march, chose to kick-off rather than receive. But, this Golden Bear eleven is a rugged outfit, and when the Indians kicked out of bounds oil the 35, launched another march. PRETTIEST RUN OF DAY On the first play Bottari faded back, and, behind perfect protection, calmly picked out Chapman at mid-field.

This rangy back picked it out of the air, and, in the pretties! run of the day, threaded his way to Stanford's 26. Twice he apparently was headed off by tackles, but on each occasion he hip-swinged his way out of trouble. Bottari picked up five yards In two tries, and then Chapman raced to the 13. After Chapman had made four more, Stanford was set back 9 for offside. Chapman got the score with a sharp break off left tackle.

This time his" try for the point was perfect. T. C. U. In Upset Win Oyer Rice FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov.

CALIFORNIA 6, STANFORD 8. California's scoring drive was a 77-yard march that started from the Bear 23. Chapman's place kick failed. CALIFORNIA 6, STANFORD 0. Cummings replaced Willard at end for Stanford as the Tribe prepared to kick-off.

Paulman Kicks Out of Bounds; Bears Take Ball Paulman kicked off out of bounds on the California 13-yard line and, under the new rule, the Bears took; the ball on their own 35. And the Bear section pleaded for another score, pointing ouLthat Hipre six jninutesJef In the quarter. Bottari threw a flat pass to Chapman that Sam caught on the SO, reversed his field and went all the way down to the Stanford 26" fore Fay nailed him from behind. It was good for 39 yards.

While time was still out, prior to the next kick-off, Ledeboer re- placed Kirsch and Daken replaced Walton at guard for Stanford. Chapman kicked off 58 yards to Fay, who came straight ui the center of the field, and Schwartz knocked him sprawling on the Stanford 22.

Fay tried a wide lateral thrust at California's right end, but Stoll dumped him after a one-yard gain. Paulman passed to Stone, who caught the ball on the Indian 35, and Anderson spilled him on the Stanford 39. The play was good for 10 yards and a first down. Paulman Tries to Pass But Receivers Covered Paulman tried to pass, found his receivers covered and S'chwarta and Stoll nailed him for a seven-yard loss on the Stanford 32. Alustiza regained four of the lost yards.

Paulman's pass to Stone was bobbled and went incomplete on the 50-yard line. The Stanford passes seem to bother the California secondary. Paulman, on a fake punt, whipped a long pass intended for Stone, but Bottari leaped high In the air, took it In his hands and then galloped 40 yards" down the sidelines to tha Stanford 30 before he was nailed.
