i LEY, Nov. 15. Although the quality of mercy was strained to the breaking point today, California's Golden Bears rolled up- a 60-14 victory over a completely outclassed University of Montana eleven. Probably most sport fans missed the Associated item from Chicago the other day which announced the Professional Basketball League of America had folded. Or, if they did read it, they soon forgot it.

But not the 180 players who were drawing pay checks from the now defunct organization. For many of thejn the bread and butter was taken right out of their mouths when Pappy Waldorf, the Cal 1 tossed every man oh his bench into the fray, but the score continued to mount. Several of the Bears weren't even listed in the program, but they ran the ball like all-Americans. A crowd of 25,000 peered through a lowering fog that at the end of the game almost obscured the field. A wet field and a brief half-time Cougars Upset Oregon State: By 1413 Score drizzle made the ball as slippery as a greased pig, but that didn't stop the Bears from running ud their i greatest offensive mark of the year.

I The Grizzlies were, however, game to the end, getting their second touchdown with only seconds to go. AMAZING RECORD 4 CORVALLIS, Nov. 15. (JP) Quarterback Tiz Miller's accurate passing with a wet ball today carried the Washington Stae Cougars oan upset 14-13 victory over the Oregon State Beavers before Most entertaining part of the game, so far as California partisans were concerned, was the performance of the little known backs who played through most of the second half.

It was all perfectly legal, of course, the league exercising the 48-hour release clause written into every contract. A pro athlete must always face the fact that he's got to be better than the other man to hold his job.

He has to produce or step down. Apparently this was what happened to Jack Toomey, who starred for College of Pacific last season grid was named on the mythical All Coast team. He turned pro several months ago to accept a fat offer Irom the Chicago Staggs of the National Basketball League, but was released before the season opened and hooked on with the ill starred BLA, which certainly lived up! to its initials. TWO KEEP GOING Two pro leagues the National and the Basketball Association of America are still operating, but only a handful of the dispossessed players can be absorbed. And for every man that is hired, another man will be fired.

Toomey has already had his shot with the Staggs. The moral of this piece is to look before you leap. A lot of Pacific Coast kids jumped at the chance to play basketball for money. Some of them, like Jim Pollard, Paul Napolitano, Jack Rocker and Jim Durkee, are sitting pretty with Minneapolis in the Basketball Association of America. THERE'S DIFFERENCE But others, like Toomey, have learned that there is a vast difference between signing a $5000 contract and collecting the cash even though they were ready, willing and able to deliver.

LAFAYETTE YOUTH STAR The two local young men playing for Oregon Norm Van Brocklin and George Bell of Lafayette were dominant factors in the Web-foot victory. They, along with Jake Leicht, turned in ironman performances as they worked the Oregon backfield more than half the game. The Indians' lone tally came in the first minute of the final period.

Oregon had a 14 to 0 lead at half time after scoring in both of the first two quarters, and tallied again five minutes after the Indians in the last period. The last minute of each of the first two quarters proved to be the kiss of death 'for the Indians. Both times, as that last minute started, Oregon's quarterback, Vn Brocklin, tossed passes that connected for touchdowns. It was not the Van Brocklin passes, though, that kept the Indians in a dither. It was the deadly running of Oregon halfbacks Bell and Leicht which ripped the Stanford line for gain after gain.
