Fourth Setback in Row Br AL WOLF Taking to the air with telling effect whenever the going got too rough on the ground, University of Calif ornia'i Golden Bears posted a 13-0 decision over at the Coliseum yesterday before some 22,000 onlookers. It way the Bruins fourth straight defeat. SUNDAY MORNING, Hunter Leads Southland Open at Halfway Mark HONEGGER CATCHES Honegger took the ball 39 the goal as Johnny Roesch Tigers Outplay Favored Flyers for Fifth Straight BY RI SS XEWLA STOCKTON. Oct. 16.

(4V-Tiny College of the Pacific and its famed 81-year-old coach, Amos Alonzo Stagg. wrote the most rousing upset victory of the 1943 football season into the records today ith a 36-to-7 win over the star-studded Del MJnnte Navy Preflight eleven. While 10,000 fans cheered themselves into a frenzy, the Pacific Tigers, looking for all the world like a bunch of school kids against the former all-America and professional players in the Del Monte line-up, outplayed and out-tricked their rivals for most of the game. Tigers ScoW First Pacific scored first, shoving over a touchdown in the third period and place-kicking the extra tally to lead, 7 to 0. Del Monte fought back to a 7-to-7 tie opening the fourth pe riod, but the Tigers cracked the deadlock almost immediately with a touchdown and a point conversion.

They clinched the contest with les3 than two minutes to go when the desperate Preflighters fired a pass from behind their goal line and were forced to! yield a safety. Stagg Acclaimed Del Monte, undefeated, went into the game as the 5-to-l favorite. Pacific's lighting Tigers maintained their unblemished record of five straight Stagg's own players paid the dean of coaches his finest tribute. They hoisted the chunky old gent onto their shoulders and carried him off the field. The contest developed into a Turn to Page 18, Column 8 HOLD THAT LINE Jock 1 Irishjrample Over Badgers by 50-0 Score MADISOX (Wis.) Oct.

16. Mighty Xotre Dame, the team with the high priorities on touchdowns, first downs, and yards gained by rushing, put these items together for another one-sided victory today as it processed an outclassed but game Wisconsin football eleven, 50 to 0. Hardly had the 18,000 spectators arranged their stadium robes about them when the Irish, the nation's number one footballers, headed their supercharged model in the direction of the Wisconsin end zone. Leahy Eases Up Eight times they crossed the Badger goal, three times in the first period, one in the second, two in the third and two in the fourth. It might have been more often had not Irish Coach Frank Leahy inserted substitutes freely.

Wisconsin threatened seriously only once late in the second period. The victory left the Irish undefeated and untied in their four starts this season, and ran their point total to 181 or better than 45 a game. Angelo BertelH, Notre Dame's human bombsight passer, in the game less than half the time, found the target twice for a total of 49 yards. In addition he scored one of the Irish touchdowns, and kicked the only two extra points which Notre Dame was able to get In the statistical department Torn to Page 18, Column 7 OCTOBER 17, 1943 could catch Hunter today but there's many a slip, as the old bromide goes. Lieut Bud Haskell, an amateur from Muroc Air Base, who was second after the first day's firing Friday with a 67, found nothing but trouble yesterday and soared to a poor S6, which gave him a halfway mark of 153.

far back in the ruck. MrCormick Slips Harry Bassler, Fox Hills pro, served warning on the field that he isn't out of the running yet when he carded a 63 esterday, two blows under par and a much better performance than his mediocre 74 of the opening day. His 142 left him in a tie for fourth place with young Joe Turn to Page 19, Column 4 MISSOURI BOWS TO SEAHAWKS, 21-6 KANSAS CITY (Mo Oct. 16. (JP) The University of Missouri Tigers battled the Iowa Navy Preflight Sea-hawks on even terms for three quarters tonight but tired in the final period to drop a 21-6 decision before 12,000 spectators.

Playing against their old coach, Lieut Don Faurot the Tigers held the more experienced Seahawks to seven points through three quarters but man power and ability finally settled the issue. BV JACK CIBXOW Wee Willie Hunter, the wal loping Scotchman from Riviera Country Club, lived up to the reputation of his countrymen yesterday at the Santa Anita Golf Club. He was so stingy with his shots that he fired a one under par 69 to go with his opening 66, making a one-man show out of the Southern California Open links tourney at the halfway mark with 135 blows, five under regulation figures. Tie for Second Trailing him in second spot were Lloyd Mangrum, Monterey Park's traveling pro, and Zeil Eaton, a Calship warworker and former Oklahoma Open champ, who had 140 even par for the two rounds. Red Mansell.

a Lockheed war- worker, and Marvin Stahl, an other warworker from Lakeside Country Club, held down third place with 141. The low 25 pros and the low 15 amateurs tee off today in the 36-hole final of the medal play affair. It took 154 or better to get in. Looks Like Hunter Late yesterday it looked as though Hunter had the tourney pretty well wrapped up, but some of the pretourney favorites were getting warmed up and several of the lads were under par j-esterday, making the tourney still a wide-open scramble, maybe. It was doubtful if anyone The visitors from Berkelej-, i after connecting for a touchdown in each of the first two periods, apparently had the situation so well In hand as the second half waned that a goodly portion of the customers departed before the final gun popped.

Those who prematurely took it on the lam missed the biggest thrill of the afternoon, for this happenstance didn't materialize until the closing play of the game. Was He Over? With scant seconds remaining, big Don Malmberg of the Bruins stood in midfield and whipped a slanting pass to Dave Brown. The lanky end set sail for the goal, but got a cramp in his leg a few strides out and was hit from behind by Bob Barsocchini as he stumbled toward the end zone. Their momentum carried the pair across, but the officials ruled that Brown's knee had touched the sod a yard short of a touchdown. A lot of folks located at that end of the stadium thought otherwise and so did most of the Bruin players, but after a brief debate the scoreboard still read 0 for U.C.L.A.

The underdog Westwooders gave a pretty good account of themselves in the running department, being outgained only 147 yards to 114 as both clubs gained seven first downs by rushing and this despite the presence of Art Honegger in the Bear ensemble, a gent whom Line Coach Ray Richards of the locals called the hardest-running back he's seen all year. Pass Defense 'Buggy' Honegger did almost all the California toting, netting 97 yards in 18 thrusts for an average of 5.38. But Freshman Johnny Roesch of U.C.L.A. almost stole the show away from him Turn to Page 18, Column 3 Penn Staters Scare Middies ANNAPOLIS (Md.) Oct 19. (P) Penn State tossed a terrific scare into heavily favored Navy; in muddy Thompson Stadium today, but the Middies continued in the nation's undefeated football ranks when little Bill Barron's 3S-yard touchdown gallop in the final quarter clinched a hard-earned 14-6 victory.

Fumbling frequentlj', Navy lighter backs failed to unloose the spectacular offensive displayed in earlier tilts, and showed that the Sailors obviously prefer dry-ground operations. The crowd of 18,214 saw triple-threat Hal Hamberg, Navy's 150-pound All-America candidate, take advantage of a dry field In the opening quarter to pass his club to a one-touchdown advantage in collaboration with John Hansen, who subbed at end for the injured Middy captain, Al ChannelL Cloudburst Then came a cloudburst, and with it the big break for the heavier Penn Staters, who rocked Navy back on the'Slippery field to score on a third stanza aerial charge. They breathed only slightly easier when Dick Trumbull's placement missed the uprights. It was a break that opened the way for Navy's first score. When the entire right side of the line surged through to block Allen Richards punt the ball rolled out on State's 30.

Hamberg rifled a pass on the first play to Hansen, who was downed on the 12. Lining up again, Hal shot another down the middle, Hansen grabbing it on the goaL Vic Finos, whose placements Turn to Page 18, Column 5 Troy Routs S.F.U., 34-0 S.C. Scores Fourth Straight Victory; Still Unscored On BY BRA VEX DYER SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. It was just light testing for the Trojans here this afternoon as they trampled San Francisco 34 to 0, before 5000 fans.

Jeff Cravath used everybody Jn the Trojan camp except Pop Lawson, perennial S.C. rooter. but this didn't prevent our lads from scoring four times in the first half to put the game on ice. ai lassts game Dons were completely outclassed. They backed the Trojan subs up against their S-yard line in the third period, but couldn't get the ball over and S.C.

went on to complete four straight games wunout Demg scored on. McCardle Scores Neither Capt. Ralph Heywood nor Mickey McCardle appeared on the field until late in the mira stanza when S.C. was ahead, 27 to 0, and then only to pun tne scruns out of a hole which they did. From the 1-yard stripe Ralph ran yards on a punt formation play to get his boys in stride again and from then on the Dons never got close.

Midway in the fourth period Mickey broke through center on a quarterback sneak and raced 55 yards for a touchdown. His supporting cast, save for Hey. wood, consisted of second, third and fourth stringers. John Domi- nis kicked the extra point A blocked kick by Joe Stall, recovered by Ray Ingle on the Don 15, paved the way for what could have been another Trojan tally In the last heat but George Callanan, who played great foot ball today, deliberately fumbled the swineskin through the end zone for an automatic touchback. Reserves Get Chance After the first two tallies in the opening half Cravath kept rushing in nis reserves, but even these inexperienced lads could not help scoring on the hapless Dons.

From the S.F.U. 18, Jim Hardy passed to brother Don, who caught the ball on the 2 and ran over for the Initial touchdown. Dick Jamison converted and the Trojans were ahead, 7 to 0, after seven minutes of play. A 23-yard pass from Jim Hardy to Eddie Saenz had set the stage for this tally. Saenz brought a punt back 18 yards to the Don 43 and on the first play from scrimmage broke through left guard, cut sharply to his right and raced down the sidelines all the way to a touch-down.

Jamison again added the odd point to make it 14 to 0. In the second stanza a Trojan drive was stopped on the Don Turn to Page 18, Column 6 Read 'Em and Weep College of Tariflc, 16; Del Monte Preflight, 7 Carnegie Tech, Lehigh, 0. Daniel Field. 18: Georgia. 7.

Robert L. Breedon, director of athletics, said a fast-talking stranger wangled two hasrs of money totaling an estimated $1000 from girls in the row of tlckPt booths outside Baxter Stadium. The glib con man visited the back of each booth and asked each girl ticket seller how her change was holding out. He told the girls he had instructed to pick up the currency and get It changed into sliver. Instead, he pulled the disappearing act, Breedon said.

Purdue Blasts Ohio State, 30-7 CLEVELAND, Oct 16. VD Purdue's marine-manned Boilermakers roared on their undefeated way today, coming from behind with five last-half touchdowns to sweep aside Ohio State's small but fighting all-civilian squad, 30 to 7, before 41,509 rain-drenched customers. It was Purdue's fifth straight conquest, and the third loss in four starts for the Ohio State "Kiddy Corps" composed of freshmen and 4-F's.

I NEW YORK, Oct 16. 0JPJ Starting slowly, but gaining momentum as the clock dragged on, Army's undefeated football team poured eight touchdowns across Columbia goal line to defeat the battered Lions, 52 to 0, before 23,000 fans at Baker Field today.

Glenn Davis, the speedy plebe from Los Angeles, paced the Cadet attack with three touchdowns as the Army moved to its fourth successive one-sided triumph and kept its goal line uncrossed for the season. Five other ball carriers plunged across the Lions' final strip while the gray-clad cadet corps of 2500 roared approval. The other touchdowns went to George Maxon of Vernon, George Troxell, Swarth-more, John Minor, Tahoka, Bob Woods, Corning, and Bob Chabot, Manchester, N.H., while Tom Lombardo of St Louis added three extra points and Chabot converted another. Army was held deep in its own territory through the firt half of the opening period, un-tfl the Cadet eleven suddenly shook Davis loose on an end sweep and the hard-running youngster dashed 82 yards for the opening score. The Cadets were able to add only one more touchdown in the second.
