(IP) The boys from the Irish Channel got the football bowl season off to a peaceful start today without a single fight on the field or in the stands as the Thunderbolts licked the Skippy Aces, 19-6, in the Turkey Bowl for the channel he could have hung onto this pass.

Dons Joe Margucci and Kobe Kobayashi bump each other in attempting to block it. The win gave the Dons the Eastern crown.

The first half was scoreless with Fresno once going down to the Tempe 3-yard line where the Arizonans held and took the ball on downs.

Tempe's first score came as the result of a 51-yard drive early in the third period with G. Vukce-vich going over from the Fresno 5-yard stripe. The Tempe team scored three times in the last quarter, all be-ing made after recoveries of two fumbles and a lateral deep in Fresno State territory. Vukce-vich scored two of the three touchdowns with Jim Winning-ham picking up the lateral on the Californians' 18-yard line and running over the goal line unmolested. Fresno scored its lone touchdown in the last period on a 65-yard drive, Fullback Masini going over right tackle for the score.

Fresno had the edge in the statistics, making nine first downs and 149 yards by rushing to the Arizonans' seven first downs and 118 yards by rushing.

Victory gave Co vina the San Gabriel Valley loop crown and a spot in the C.I.F. play-offs. The game was played at Covina. Tommy Fleischman, South Pasadena captain, engineered a Tiger drive of 71 yards and scored from the 3-yard line in the second quarter.

Fleischman passed 8 yards to Halfback Dale for a third-period score that gave them a 13-0 lead. But with Dick Huntress sparkling, the Covina lads pulled the game out of the fire. He faked a pass and ambled 23 yards to a score in the fourth and added the extra point.

20. (Wilson (Bud) Schwenk, Washington University's' one-man football team, pitched, himself into the rolletriate hall of fame today by establishing a national record of 103 forward pass completions in one season. Needing only three passes' to better Davey O'Brien's mark of 93 with Texas Christian University in 1938, Schwenk cocked his rieht arm and produced them against the Missouri School of Mines before the end of the first quarter. BUSY AFTERNOON" In all, he connected 12 times in 23 attempts for a total of 106 yards. He passed to two touchdowns, scored two himself and accounted for 24 points in Wash ington's 28-to-7 victory.

Schwenk's pass record was all the more remarkable because he compiled it in 8 games against 10 for Bnen. He still nas one game to go, against St. Louis Uni versity, Nov. 29, to complete his senior year. The tnnle-threat halfback weighs 195 pounds and is 6ft.

He has com pleted 89 of 179 passes for 916 yards to date and has another game with Gettysburg Saturday. Schwenk's 103 passes were made in 201 attempts and were good for a total of 1334 yards. Bill Dudley Runs Wild as Virginia Triumphs CHAPEL HILL (N.C.) Nov. 20. (P) Wild Bill Dudley, the touchdown tabulator, today turned in one of the most amaz ing performances ever witnessed in Kenan Stadium, as he led Virginia to a crushing 28-7 victory over North Carolina a tradition-packed Turkey Day game, witnessed by 22,000 spec- The 19-year-old Bluefield (Va.) bullet, winding up his college career, had, perhaps, his greatest day.

He scored three touch downs, passed for a fourth and kicked four extra points. Statz Has High Hopes of Flag Continued from 17th Page they can't fit into their regular line-up." Statz said that Clarence (Pants) Rowland, who will be headman in the Angel front of fice now that the Cubs have taken over the local nine, is very enthusiastic over the outlook for the Angels. ROWLAND KXOWS "Mr. Rowland, in his former capacity as head of the Cub scouting system and a club official, knows what they've got, what we'll need and how to get it," Jigger said. "He knows baseball, believe me, after his many years as a player, major league manager, umpire and scout." Statz said he did not know what other front-office changes in Angel personnel, if any, will be made in addition to Rowland's supplanting of President Dave Fleming.

Statz said the matter of Angel coaches wasn't discussed, either. TO LEAVE SOON Rowland leaves Chicago for the Coast tomorrow night and is expected to clear up these matters upon his arrival here Tuesday. Statz said he had heard high praise in the Windy City of Ed Heusser, veteran right-hander Los Angeles obtained from At lanta in the A. A. draft.

Jigger said he doubted that Charlie Root, veteran Cub twirl-er recently released, would join the Angels. "He wants to pitch major league ball another season or two and has a deal or two on the fire now," said Statz. "I'm afraid he's too high-priced for us." Cowboys, Orediggers Play Scoreless Tie LARAMIE (Wyo.) Nov. 20. (P) Wyoming threatened twice and Colorado Mines once in a scoreless tie Thanksgiving Day football game.

The Cowboys punched to the Orediggers 8-yard line tkp times in the second quarter, but lacked the punch to cross the goal stripe. Mines penetrated to the Wyo ming 19-yard line in the last period, and there lost the ball on downs. championship. The game, which started as a neighborhood affair four years ago, brought 15,000 spectators to the Municipal Stadium today to watch the teams from the channel which once boasted of its toughness. Admission was free.

DOZEN KAYOKS But any who went expecting to see a variation of an old-time channel gangfight were disappointed. The boys hit hard enough, and scored about a dozen kayoes, but all by blocking or other legal means. And the brightly uniformed players looked like college boys as they hastened to help fallen opponents to their feet. Just like the big bowls, there was a pretty queen, Miss Gladys Marshall, and 14 maids who sat in special seats on the sidelines. Miss Marshal, dressed in Kelly green for the occasion, carried a bouquet of gladioli, Allen Lacombe, 21-year-old promoter of the classic-who also played a few minutes as quarterback for the Thunder Lions Head for New Mexico Continued from 17lli Page white stuff is apt to be still present when the gridders clash.

LOYOLA PICKED While Loyola has been picked almost unanimously by Coast fans, there are two strong factors working against a Lion victory on the breezy New Mexico highlands. One, of course, is the 5000-foot elevation which is certain to tire Loyola's none-too-plentiful crew of gridsters. With this will be the cold temperature making ball handling on reverses extremely difficult. Then there's the psychological edge which is all to Shipkey's laddies. FORM Ell CUB MENTOR Ted, who was on the coaching staff at Los Angeles Jaysee before coming to New Mexico, hopes mightily for a victory over a Coast eleven, inasmuch as he has a return date at Gil-more Stadium next year.

His players probably feel somewhat the same way, as several are from Southern California. New Mexico also ha3 the normal edge that any underdog possesses: the strong chance that the opposition, inflated in this case over the 32-7 win over Creighton last week, will be somewhat puffed in the area of the cranium. MANY INJURIES Shipkey's principal difficulty this season has been an epidemic of injuries which have left him only three of his original starters. But despite losses to Arizona, Texas Tech and Marquette mighty tough) the Lobos have gained 1188 yards in eight games for an average of 4 per play, which isn't kidding, offen-eively. Leon Server and Red Smith! top the Accordion Shife ball packing department with better than 5 yards a crack.

Bozo Mclntyre and Charley Smith are the leading passers, Mclntyre with 11 out of 17 for a .648 mark and Smith with 16 of 34 for .470. HEALTHY SQUAD Loyola's traveling squad is about as healthy as any late season football club. Bob Schmidt and Wally Crittenden will be sorely missed, of course. But George Toombs, the senior end who suffered an eye cut last week, will be ready to go. And the other bruised and sprained athletes figure on putting in their full share of action.

Vintage Port Wins BOWIE (Md.) Nov. 20. ()-Vintage Port, an English-bred gray gelding which flies the silks of the Sanford Stud, won the St. Ihigoes Purse at Bowie yester day, marking the 10th straight boltsexplained that type of flower was chosen because it sounded like "Gladys." LOSERS EAT BEAXS There was a demonstration between halves, too, with a band from the Irish Channel, dressed in parts of uniforms they found in an attic somewhere, executing figures which must have been written in Gaelic because they didn't spell anything in English. Next Wednesday night the winners will be rewarded by a turkey dinner.

The losers will be there, too eating red beans and rice. Capt. Paul Griener of the Thunderbolts was the game's offensive star, sparking three drives and scoring two touchdowns. Kenny Cuccia did some powerful fullbacking, and in the line Tommy Reinhardt and Hugh Bode were standouts. Chris Bel-lone, quarterback, was the best for the Aces.

Those don't sound like Irish Channel names, of course, but where would Notre Dame be without Angelo Bertelli? Bruins, Broncs Take on Weight Continued from 17th Pago have a full-strength squad for the conflict. And team spirit leaves nothing to be desired. Even Johnny Johnson, No. 3 quarterback who appeared to be a "dead duck" when he incurred a severe knee injury in the Oregon State fracas, has recovered almost completely and will be available. Ernie Case, No.

2 signal caller, made a good showing last week in the Camp Haan game and the experience he gained should help him no little. All this is sweet news for Messrs. Horrell, Richards and Masterson, who have been wor-j ried about thinness in the cue-bee department should Bob Wa-terfield come up a casualty. BRUINS UNDERDOGS Despite the "upness" out West-wood way, odds yesterday remained heavily loaded toward Santa Clara, the Broncs being 1-2 favorites or seven-pointers at even money. The boys who lay it on the line can't forget what easy meat the Bruins were for Stanford, California and Oregon State, routs that eclipsed U.C.L.A.'s great play against Washington State, Washington and Oregon.

Conversely, they've forgotten that the Broncs dropped three in a row to Oklahoma (loser by 0 to 2S to Missouri last week,) Stanford (7 to 27) and Oregon (which U.C.L.A. defeated.) All that vanished into thin air last Sunday when the Broncs massacred St. Mary's, 35 to 13, with all the old-time heave-ho. Bruin officials, after scanning the weather report, which says tomorrow will be ideal for football, and checking advance sales, anticipate a turnout of 40,000. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:15.

Bullpups Win, 25-6, Gain Play-off Berth By scoring a convincing 25-6 grid victory over Compton High yesterday at the Rose Bowl, the Pasadena Bullpups assured them selves of the spot in the play-offs for the Southern California C.I.F. title. It was a Major Conference game. Jim Simmons and Ray Com- merford ran over for scores while Bill Bicknor and George Morgan caught touchdown passes for the winners. Comp-ton's tally was made by Don Powers on a 4-yard plunge.

(P) Utah State's scoring ma chine, dormant all season, thawed out today despite a freezing temperature, but Utah University's touchdown power clicked also and the Utes won the traditional Thanksgiving Day football battle, 33 to 21. The victory was Utah's fourth conference triumph and assured the Indians at least a tie for their sei-ond consecutive Big Seven title.

The ball bounced free and Washington fell on it for a first down on the Los Angeles 21. From this point the Bears just kept ramrnii at the Bulldog line until they had a touchdown. Washington and Kink Richards did all the ball-lugging, with Kenny making a 15-yard jaunt through tackle to the 13 for the most telling gain. An offside penalty moved it to the 5 and Richards went over after four plays. Richards converted, making it 7-0.

DU.VCAX SWA KM ED Los Angeles picked up its two points in the second quarter when Peterson got off a punt that was downed by Jim Grove on the Hollywood 1-foot line. When Bear Bill Duncan went back to punt, he was swarmed upon by the Bulldog forwards, Jake Cohen blocked the kick, sending the ball out of the end zone for a safety. But the Bulldogs made another error in the third quarter and this finished 'em. This time' a fumble turned the tide. Cleveland hobbled the ball on a reverse and John Stonebraker recovered on the Bulldog 33.

KENNY RAMBLES On first down, Washington shot through a gaping hole at left tackle, slipped by the secondary and went into high gear. He shot across the field diagonally without a hand touching him and was in the end zone before vou could sav "touchdown!" Richards kick made it il l. Richards injured his back a few plays later, but that didn't keep him from coming off the bench to finish the day's scoring by booting a field goal from the 32. A forward pass from Ollie Day to Denny Noor, plus a lateral to Duncan, set up this marker.
