(U.E) California's Golden Bears, emerging from a decade of hibernation from gridiron glory, blasted out an easy 33-7 victory over Santa Clara Saturday as Coach Lynn Waldorf, late of Northwestern, made a spectacular debut into Pacific Coast conference grid ranks. worry about, Iowa knocked the hide off the Bison of North Dakota state 59-0 here Saturday afternoon before a record opening day Hawkeye crowd of 31,050. With UCLA scouts on hand to get a preview of the Iowa team which will meet the west coast eleven in Los Angeles Friday night, Eddie Anderson instructed his Hawkeyes to keep their tricks in the bag, and that is just what they did. With fullback Bob Smith leading the way at the start, Iowa marched 66 and 75 yards to its first two touchdowns with simple plays straight through the line. And when North Dakota State found the power and 92-degree heat too nfuch to stand, the game opened up with Anderson flashing such newcomers as Quentin Kais- ershot, Al DiMarco and John Estes, who passed and ran the Bison dizzy.

Smith plowed through for the first two touchdowns on short bucks. Ron Headington, second string fullback, got the third one the same way, and Kaisershot shot through middle for nine yards and a fourth score which brought the count to 26-0 at half time. The best North Dakota State could do offensively In the first half was advance to Iowa's 39 yard line, but In the third quarter the passing of Bobby Heer of Jamestown, N. brought the Bison to Iowa's seven before an interception ruined the one and only bid of the Fargo team. Towards the end of the third period, reserve Hawkeye fullback Bob Reynolds bucked Ov-er.

In the final period, the game broke wide open with Iowa scoring four times. Jack Legg fell on teammate Otis Finney's fumble for one of the late touchdowns; DiMarco passed to Jimmy Smith for a 22-yard score; Estes intercepted a pass and sprinted 30 yards for a score, and Estes fired a short one to Herb Shoener for eight yards and the final marker as the gun sounded. Iowa didn't flash a great deal of speed, but Jts veteran line was powerful in opening holes for the fullbacks. The passing of quarterbacks Louis King, DiMarco and Estes, the latter a Negro, was brilliant once Iowa decided to try its aerial game. Besides Bob Smith, the best Iowa running punch was shown by Kaisershot, Headington and Estes.

DiMarco was quite sensational in short, over-hand shots, while Estes showed more skill with the long tosses. King completed three of three for 47 yards; Estes connected on five of eight for 107 yards, and DiMarco had the high average of seven out of 10 for 105.

Working easily, McKinnis 6trucle out 16. He will start again for Rochester in Sunday's finak against Chaska. McKinnis ha started and won each of Eoche-ter's three victories in the stftty meet here this week. Outside of that one home-run Bitch to McKinnis, Stevenson and his successor, Howard Wroge, kept Rochester well under control spacing eight hits. Stopping Olivia was none other than Gene Cooney, drafted hurler from Bloomington in the Minnesota Valley league and pressman at The Minneapolis Star and Tribune.

Cooney had only one bad inning, that the sixth, when he allowed all of Olivia's four runs. In that big frame, Ernie Dudek started with a single. A walk, error, Gordy Stoulil's three bagger and Delton Everman's single produced the quartet of tallies. Frank Pugsley, Olivia's starting choice, turned in an excellent performance for that club, but ragged play in the field was his downfall as the West Central and Region Five champs committed six errors. Two of those boots came in the fifth inning, coupled with a walk and a single by Rog Reisgraf, who changed from his baseball uniform to a football suit for Mankato Teachers college in a game against Augsburg Saturday night, for two runs.

Two more errors, including one by Pugsley himself, helped Chaska to its winning three runs in the sixth. In that inning Wally Lahl started things with a double. Roy Eder and Earl Engelhardt singled. After that neither team could dent home plate with Cooney al lowing a double to Bill Mattke in the seventh and single to Delton Everman in the eighth with no damage. Cooney scattered nine r.its to the hard-hitting Olivia team whil Pugsley and his successor, Willard Reigstad, gave up seven to Chaska.

Pugsley in his eight innings on the mound fanned 11 batters and Cooney nine. Cooney also helped hij cause with two hits. Bill Mattke, Gordy Stoulil and Everman each had two hits for Olivia. The Olivia-Rochester game is only part of Sunday's finals program. At 1 p.m.

An old Waldorf play from his days in the Big Nine accounted for two Bear touchdowns and big yardage. It was a spinner over the guard hole that took the ball packer through the line of scrimmage where he cut sharply to the ride- lines and then down the field.

It was the play that sprang George Fong, the only Chinese playing major college football in the country, for a 40-yard dash for the first touchdown. It worked again in the third period with Jack Swanger going 15 yards to score. Santa Clara held a one-point edge at the end of the first quarter as a result of breaks late In the period.

Kentucky's best effort was an opening period tally. It wm Conerly, lithe, fleet-footed youth who engineered Mississippi's offensive power. His key receiver, Poole, with ever-hungry mitts, cashed in eight tosses for 71 yards and one touchdown.

As if that wasn't enough, Conerly reeled off consistent running gains to keep the Wildcats' defense off balance and got off punts for an average of 35.7 yards. Only five minutes and 10 plays were required in the opening period for the Rebels to tally.
