Beat Fred Perry, that i. But he did give the world singles champion from England the grandest fight that the exuberant young man has had for a long time in the men's singles finals vcfterday of the Pacific Coast championships. Today Perry is back in his beloved Hollywood, to which he has been looking forward all week, but it took him five sets of thrill COAST CHAMPS DONS FAIL IN LONE DRIVE, LOSM-9 (Cent, from First Sports Page) ot inferferers sweeping Don forwards from his path, and was out in the open where the running is known as good. Down the field he rushed, side-Ftcpping and spurting before being hauled down by Bacciarini on the Don 26. The run was good for 54 yards, the longest of the day by 30 yards.

"Another score is just about in my hands," said Clipper Smith, and to gain his point he sent in the Three Musketeers Falaschi, Thomas and But the Don forwards arose to the occasion with come-through valor and set Falaschi back rcven yards at left end and smeared De Rosa for an 11-yard setback on an attempted pass. De Rofa passed to Thomas for 16 yards, and the lost margin was alnwt back, but all Don rooters breathed more easily when Peterson skilfully knocked down De Rosa's last long pass meant for Thomas. Shortly after that, when the fourth period had barely got under way, the Dons made their supreme effort of the day. It started from their own 31-yard line, after a penalty made it first and fifteen. Bradley, substitute fullback, taking four at left guard with King adding eight inside right tackle, and Bradley fve more, made it first down on the Don 48.

Bradley and King made but two yards in two tries, so Bradley passed neatly to Lucot. for 12 yards and a U. C. LACKS MENTAL SUBTLETY BUT SUPERIOR TO ST. MARY'S Fred Perry (right) is shown during a tense moment of his match with Don Budge yesterday.

Legendary now, too, because of their precisioned disposal of a more powerful opponent is the achievement of the Oaels over the Bears Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Bbe Ruth's career with Ihe New York Yankees appeared to be at an end today on the bnsis of the famous slugger's own statement made in St. Louis to Joe Williams of the New York World Telegram.

Williams quoted the Bambino as saying: "twill not. sit on the bench as a Saturday or Sunday player or pinch bitter with the Yankees or any oilier club next season. If 'BUM SEAT' AT U. S. F.

BATTLE PROVES GREAT llMllllIlllllllllill BY PHIL RAY AFTER nearly a dozen year of watching all games from the press box, on or close to 50-yard line, conceive of our embarrassment yesterday to view the Santa Clara-University of San Francisco contest from a low, corner field seat-just on the goal line. It all happened when the press box tickets mysteriously "wern't and Merv. Hauser, the Dons' ath letic manager, couldn't seem to do 'anything about it. So we purchased a ticket and scrambled for the best seat available, which happened to be a very one just opposite the west goal illne at Kezar, too low to provide a view of anything but defending linemen being rudely jarred to their haunches. a SYMPATHY, heartfelt, commenced to swell within us and a determination to campaign for stadiums with all seats on the 50-yard ljne was just taking form, when the picture changed suddenly.

Two Bronco passes 1 i --through the air and the Santa Clara rod shirts were on their way. Then little Henry Thomas nettled the ball in the crook of the arm and ran right for "our" corner of the field. Some big TJ. S. F.

rooter stood up. ml had to too, but I saw the run that led up to the touchdown, and the score Itself, better than any of the scribes more firmly stationed In Mr. Hauser's good graces. a THERE was only one touchdown scored yesterday and the teams seldom came close to adding to the total, so we have forgotten whatever feelings we might 'tlave harbored concerning the U. F.

ticket department in favor of tincere gratitude. hAa we sat in the fourth row, Thomas staged his brilliant run to th.e corner of the field and we could almost reach out and touch him, he was so close. What a cool, calculating player is this Bronco youngster. Just as nonchalantly as though he was running to the corner grocery store for his mother in Crockett, Hank skirted that advancing aval anche of green-shirted Dons. He veered to the sidelines but held his course true, just inches Inside the field.

Actually, he touched turf in the end zone, but one foot had grazed the side stripe on the one-loot mark. The touchdown resulted from another "fumble play" but any doubt about Its preconception vanished with a look at Nello Falaschi's face, Nello dove into IT. S. left guard position and the whole Don wall fell on top of him. Put out of the tangle of arms, lfgs and backs, the ball oozed through from underneath.

Bob Mc-CJee, one of the less-tangled athletes, igpunced on the ball all alone for the score. It wan fun watching that touchtown from clone quartern; it wan fun buying pettnutn and noda water. Nothing tike a little education on how the other hall of the world ne.en football tames. ana NOW that another football week end has been written into the score book, who do vou Hke? There's Washington State, with the best chance of all for the Coast Conference title, since it faces only Oregon State, Washington and Idaho; there's Santa Clara, undefeated in three games; and St. Mary's in two; there's Stanford, with only the Bronco tie to mar its record; nd there are Oregon and Washington, "unknowns" as yet.

0 DICK HANLEY, a familiar figure on the Pacific Coast for his excellent work as co-coach of the East All-Star team that plays In the Shrine game each New Year's Day In San Francisco, returns to the Pacific Coast In a new role Saturday. Dick will lead his Northwestern Wildcats to Palo Alto for the first time for a game with Stanford that should provide an Interesting comparison between raid-western and Pacific Coast football. i Northwestern, beaten Saturday, Isn't the strongest Big Ten team this year, that honor having been accorded Minnesota by the dope-aters, but Indications are strong that the Wildcats have plenty to fire against the Indians. 0 0 0 Hartley in regarded an one of the hading coaches in the country, despite the fact that bin record lanl year was none too impressive. Yet it unn ibis tame, likeable, coach who wan fired from a high school job in Walla Walla tome yearn ago, because he "wasn't good enough." tt i GLEAMINGS FROM THE "GRIDIRON: Al Tieberg, formeAla-meda High tackle, is playing on the Spartan squad at U.

S. C. The Spartans now have a standing and schedule similar to the California Ramblers. Nick Bracco started football at St. Mary's as a halfback but was shifted to end when the halfback market became flooded.

Rusa Calkins and "Red" Christie both started as fullback at California. In the first pro game the other taHghl, Will Stevens, who handled publicity for St. Mary's for four years and got but one winner over California, chirped: "Gee, we can't even win a pro game from California," as Ted Beckett intercepted trie pass to beat the Moraga Wolves. The Cardinal Athletic Club boys play football because they love it. Saturday night they all bought their own meals and paid part of the bat fare en route to Santa Barbara to play the athletic club team there.

The guarantee didn't cover bus ing tennis to deleat the Uak-T land boy, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 1-6, 7-5, before he could receive the trophy presented by Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, former women's world titlist. MISS STAMMERS VICTOR Six other championships were decided yesterday at the Berkeley Tennis Club before the greatest crowd which ever watched the finish of a tournament there. More than 3000, many of whom stood throughout, the entire series of matches, saw Kny Stammers win the women's singles crown from Freda James In a superb contest: saw Budge and Gene Mako take the men's doubles crown and watched Joe Hunt of Los Angeles Haifman, defending title holder, in the junior boys singles, after a furious struggle. It was the second title for Hunt, who won the boys 15 crown on Saturday.

In the singles for girls is. Ous-tlfe Raegener won easily from Mildred Connell, 8-1, 6-2, but Miss Raegener and Margaret Osborne lost the women's doubles to Miss James and Betty Nuthall, 6-3, 6-2. It was a big day for the English players, who took four of the seven titles decided yesterday. In the all-British mixed doubles final Miss Stammers and Frank Wilde won after It got dark in the second set with the score 5-all and they tossed a racquet tn decide the match with Perry and Miss Nuthall. BUDGE MORE BRILLIANT There weren't Just stars of tennis competing yesterday, there, was a whole constellation, but the brightest of the lot were Perry and Budge.

With officials of the North ern California Tennis Association refusing to sell more tickets be cause there were no more seals, and then selling the tickets with the stipulation that purchasers would have to take their own chances on seeing tHf play, a gala turnout had gathered, chiefly to watch Perry and Budge. It got its money's worth. Budge was the brilliant player of the two, and It was he who forced the Issue. Perry was seldom on the aggressive, as he admitted afterward, but his steady banging back the ball brought results. Not that Perry wasn' great; he had to be to beat BucV! But he did it without going to the net more than a half dozen times in 50 games and when it was all over Budge had scorej more points than his adversary, mane fewer errors ar.d many more placements His advantage in prints came In the fourth set, which he wen when Peny decide not tt try for it.

2fi 7:1 SI 11 1 170 IS iu fin a 4 mi PERTURBED BY DECISIONS Perry was having a bad time, too, for a while, op line decisions and Budge drew cheers often by intentional loss of points to even things when Perry thought he had received a faulty decision. He kicked the ball once or twice in anger but smiled when he was winning, a warm smile which caused many to forgive the outbursts of temperament. Budge must have been extremely nervous, when he was leadnig the champion of them all, but you couldn't tell it except by his errors. Perry kicked for new balls, and when he didn't get them objected because they happened to be due on Don's service, but none of his objections were very serious. And as he has said before, after four years of almost continuous tennis, he is a bit fed up with the game.

If the crowd wanted to see a spectacular Perry it was disappointed, but it did get its thrills. With each having won two sets, Budge began by taking the first game in the deciding series. He sent two blistering placements as the two clinching points of that game. Perry gained a 3-1 game lead as Budge erred often, but it was the Englishman who cried in the next two games and Don added a superb passing shot from the net to make it 3-all. BIIDGE LEADS LAST SET He made the same shot again in the next at deuce and Perry outtel to give Don the lead, 4-3.

Budge missed his great chance in the next game, for with the point score deuce he couldn't break service. He batted the ball out twice and was lucky Perry evened It each time with a net, but when Budge found the webbing twice in succession it appeared to be over. It wasn't. Perty went ahead to 5-4 by breaking servire with the loss of only one point, but in the next game double faulted twice and made two other errors to lose. Budge lost the next on errors and socked four out In the twelfth game to give Perry the two games In a row he needed to win, 7-5, and take the match and title.

Budge started fast, racing through the first set before the crowd realized that here was an opponent worthy of Perry, who had had only one hard match all week. He made seven placements in that first set and scored 35 points to 20 for the champion, as Perry, began erratically, BUDGE ERRS IN SECOND Budge was erratic in the second set and Perry ran up a 5-2 lead in games, taking five Straight after Budge had won the first two. Budge missed some fine chances, outing shots when he went to the net for to Men's singles: Frrt Perry, who defeated Ion Budge, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 1-6, 7-E. Men's doubles: Don Pmdge and Oene Mako, who defeated Thll Neer and Herald Sratford, 6-3, 8- 6, 3-6, 6-1. Women's singles: Katharine Stammers, who defeated Freda James, 4-tl, 6-3, 6-4.

But Budge fought back, as he did all day, scoring two sizzling placements on the eighth game to make the score 5-3 and cflmb--Ing to 5-4 when Perry netted three tittjp in the next game. On Budgs service, however, after he had taken a 40-love lead on Perry's error and two fine placements, the Englishman went on to win after Don's three errors, Including one of his three double faults for the afternoon, had deuced the game. The third set produced the greatest fight of the day, the tenth game, when Perry was leadihg 5-4, going to deuce 12 times before Budge won. Six times in that game Perry had the advantage and point match and each time Budge retaliated with a placement or sent one across the webbing so hot that the great Perry netted or. sent it out.

But In the next two games Budge was nervous and made eight errors to present Perry with the set at 7-5. GREAT WOMEN'S FINAL After the Intermission Budge ran up a 3-1 lead and Perry, playing poorly, made no effort to win. He awarded the set to Budge, 6-1, double faulting, and smacking the hall into the net heedlessly. With the set score 2-all, the stage was set for that tense 12-game fifth Fet. The women's singles wa.J almost equally intense.

Miss James giving her fellow countrywoman, Kay Stammers the beauteous one, a terrific fight. Miss James, slight and short, tired badly but probably couldn't have overcome the speedy forehand of the southpaw Miss Stammers Bnyway. Miss Jamrs went to the net often and effectively In the first set when her rival was making many errors, winning at 6-4. The second set was chiefly Miss Stammers as she swept on toward the title with placements beautiful to see, that kept Miss James on the defensive. It was some of the fin est women's tennis ever played at the Berkeley club.

Miss James won the opening game on service in the third set, and games went with service until the fifth and sixth, when each broke service to make it 3-all. EXCHANGE HOT VOLLIES They were fighting hard for every point, and In one game both were at the net for a rapid fire exchange of vollies that had the crowd ready to cheer. Miss James, on defense, sent bark some perfect lobs deep to her rival's background and looked fine at the net. Miss Stammers, however, broke service in the ninth game and held her own to take the set, 6-4, and the championship. The big upset of the day was Joe Hunt's victory over Robert Harman, who did last year what Hunt did this won both the boys' 15 and boys' 18 singles titles.

Hunt, a quick thinker and steady player, beat Harman mainly by superior strategy and his steller play at the net. He refused to let the steady stroking Harman make a baseline duel of it, ano captured his second title of the tourney, fi-7, fi-0, 4-6, 6-3. Gerald Stratford and Phil Ncer, defending titlists in men's doubles, put up a gallant fight against Budge and Gene Mako before they relinquished their crown in the gathering darkness, 6-3. 8-6. 3-6, 6-1.

The younger pair, who beat George Lott and Lea Stoefen recently, needed all their power to overcome the strategy and experience of the veteran combination. It was difficult see the ball during the last set and Mako and Budge, fearing a possible drawn engagement if Neer and Stratford won and made it two sets all. added a little extra effort and ran through with the loss of only one game.

The Bears came to football's gambling table witji profligate intent, and like all plungers they played their cards in mad spectacular fashion, making those strange errors of omission that lead always to defeat.

The Bears lived up to the "form" predictions. Statistics, which you find elsewhere, prove the Bears superior offensively and defensively to the Goals. In every department of the game, with the exception of kicking, California etched a vig nette of power, speed and trickery on the magic green carpet. They lacked mental subtlety. They did not lack courage, no matter what others may infer by the two goals attempted from placement at difficult angles by Arleigh Williams.

FUMBLE ACCIDENTAL Let those who will, refer to the fumble and recovery for the lone score as a 'touchdown play. depicted once before against Ford-ham. This is an incredulously sophomoric observation. "Slip" Madignn doesn't teach his players Id fumble and only those with extraordinary imagination or a lust for melodrama of "The Drunkard" order could see any design in the fumble and the ball-hawking proclivities of Schreiber. With Thornton Wilder in "The Bridge of San Luis Roy" we see accident, not design in the Bear tragedy.

The Kippkes. Smiths, IVJadigans and Warners would never permit iiiirk-kicking when their teams have the ball in the shadow of their own goal-posts. Yet, California, the gambler, the plunger, sent Williams back tn quick-kick in that memorable first quarter, instead of sending the hoy into orthodox punt formation just as Mai Fcise of St. Mary's did later in the game when he punted from behind his own goal-line. This initial California error enabled St.

Mary's to block the kick, re-rover the ball and start for victory. This Bear error illustrates what we mean by mental subtlety. As ynu recall, if you were at the game, the Bears were off-side on the next play, then Kellogg went bark to the weak-side of the famed Carl power-slant. It is history that Krllngg fumbled and Schreiber rerovered. Other aspects of lack of mental subtlety on the part of the Bears-over which Ingram has no control while the team Is on the field were (1 utilizing a deep key back in ptmt formation to run third down plays with little yardage to go for a first down; (2) running plays over the middle when it was obvious thai Al Thorcll was going to take theTiall from close-up formation; (3) failure of the Bear quarterback to offer the deep key back in punt formation the option of passing or running.

GAELS DELIBERATE We picked California to win. We offer no apologies for our selection. There is no necromancer extent who can put the calipers on football intelligence, which the Bears lacked Saturday. They say, "the deliberate man is a dangerous man." The Gaels were so deliberate in their movements Saturday that they give forth an air of indolent confidence. They were as deliberate I GRAPPLERS TO PROTEST HOLDS Wrestling's triangle -two grnp-plers and a disputed hold is due to make tl-; presence felt, with embellishments, as a preliminary to the Ray Steele-Stanley Pinto main event at the Municipal Auditorium Friday night.

From local wrestling headquarters today came growing murmur-ings indicating Steele objects to Pinto's "serpent knot scissors" and Pinto feels exactly the same way about Ray's "unconscious hold.4' The storm should break no later than tomorrow, and no doubt the matter will he put squarely before the Slale Athletic Commission for a decision. There is a great similarity be-twern the grips. Tinto's favorite hold features use of the legs and Steele's application of the arms. Both holds are clamped around the neck, with the manipulation of the victim's arm, tending to increase pressure and induce unconsciousness or surrender. Pinto, appearing here only at intervals since his two matches with Browning, returned to public favor when he whipped the tough Farley last Friday night.

as Rockne's tram against IT, S. C. in They answered with magnificent splendor "Pop" Warner's contention that Notre Dame style teams have a definite rhythm which ran be sensed by opponents, Madigan, through the utilization of a varied count, reintroduced "broken rhythm." We say "broken rhythm" because the long count is ancient with Notre Dame system teachers, although this may be news to Warner, who jousted editorially vith Harry Stuhldreher in a recent issue of a national weekly relative to the merits and demerits of the Notre Dame system. Gael dcliberatencss produced precision, skill, grace which the uninitiated might translate into speed. We translate the Gael qualities into this rather trenchant statement: Madigan's modification of play, with stress on finesse instead of power, produces as clean a football team as ever played on this coast and erases forever the stigma of "roughness" attached to St.

Mary's, play. We salute Madigan for his achievement However, this tribute to the Gaels and Bears must be spiced with this barb: Stanford and Santa Clara would have run both team? out of Memorial Stadium Saturday" YOU GET OVER BfG IN TROUSERS APPROVfO FOR THEY RE ALSO HOUNDS HOP TO IT- THIS AT yOUR first down on the Bronco 38. Again Bradley and King smacked the line for yardage, six yards this time in two tries, and Bacciarini shot a flat pass to King, who ran 12 yards out of bounds on the Bronco 20. Now whore turn was it to yell? This time the cataclysm from lusty throats came from the Don cheering section. The Don forwards, the boys who were supposed to be tired against a Bronco line that was kept fresh with substitutions, rushed the Broncos back as Bradley bumped his way right at left tackle and then hit left guard for one yard.

FINNEY HALTS DRIVE But now raw fate intc-fered, at least, some rail it that. Little Wel-don Lucot, a breezy guy, called the signal. Third and one, a play thst was tn catch the Broncos asleep and score a touchdown. It was a flat pass from Bradley toward Bacciarini. With one majestic sweep came opportunist number three, and yoii can write down his name as chirf of the opportunity hoys for the afternoon.

He's Norman Finney, a wiry right end from Alameda, who jumped in front of Bacciarini and took the pass and came dodging and weaving to the Santa Clara 31. There went the ball game as far as U. S. F. was concerned.

The signal caller gambled, gambled heavily nn an unorthodox play, ono that might have brought the touchdown. Had he played his cards and taken the yardage nt the line they say today the Dons would have had the ball game. But what victory or defeat when each man comes through -Dons and Broncos in a whirlwind of verve and dash? We shake the hands of Clipper Smith and Spud Lewis. They coached two great football teams. They instilled in their players the will to win and the weapons to play interesting football.

Each player, and each coach, too, left the field without a sprig missing from his laurel garland. We say again, it was a ball game.

I Perry Lauds Don Budg es ackhandl By RALPH BELL Odds and ends of comment and gossip from the Pacific Coast tennis tournament: xil-u icy muioni ion wncre I. It 1T1 1-11 1 uon nuages nacmianri were going. He had Gei iviaKo an tig ured out, because of the angle nt Mako's feet, but Budge's backhand was different. It bothered (lie world champion.

Perry still hadn't reached the point, where he wanted to play tennis. He has been going steadily for some four years, without any long break. He enumerated the tournaments in Australia, France and other European countries and the United States. Surprising that he isn't just terribly thrilled to get hold of a tennis racquet. START PLAY YOUNG Americans start tennis much younger than the English There isn't a lad in England who 1 would offer some of the young Cali fornia stars of 15, 18 and 17 a battle, according to Leighton Crawford, British official.

English players take up the game later, it seems. Perry is 26; Don Budge 19. And Mako Is young. Budge was sorry he. lost yesterday, but expressed the opinion, rather privately, that he did think he had played well and wasn't ashamed of his showing.

He had no reason to be anything but proud, as tennis experts and officials assured him. Perry told Hudge that all he needs to do is to shorten his forehand stroke a littlg. There's nothing the matter ith his backhand, and his net play Is excellent, and improving. The British stars, who "made" the tournament, so far as crowds and interest go. in large measure, will leave tonight for New York, to sail for home.

All, that is, but Perry, who left last night for Hollywood, to remain until October 17, when he sails for Australia.

It will be ten days more before he can walk, the doctor told him, but he hopes to be able to play in Australia after the 21-day trip there. "It's terribly tough competition for anyone to face who is getting old," Perry complained after beating Budge. "These youngsters are hard to lick.

And to me this tournament meant nothing in particular. Whereas Budge had everything to gain by winning, I had nothing to gain and everything to lose If I dropped the match, you see." Which is entirely true, except that's always the position of a champion. Perry didn't become 0 titlist all at once, and those he played must have felt as he does now about playing a dangerous rival in tournament minor to the treat one.
