Senior Bill Turner, a 6-2 end, tallied two of the California touchdowns by snagging passes from quarterback Randy Gold in the first quarter and from quarterback Larry Balliett in the third. Junior halfback Alan Nelson, the game's outstanding ground gainer added another Bear touchdown in the fourth quarter. California's scoring was completed by a field goal by halfback Tom Blanchfield and two points on a safety that came when San Jose half Larry Doss fumbled a high center pass while trying to punt from his end zone.

The Tiger line, anchored by Wisconsin's Backs Have Concluded from Pag 1-1 28 and in four plays it was 19-tS, Claridge covering the last sue. Michigan wasn't done. The Wolverines drove 65 yards in 13 plays to make it 19-13 early in the fourth quarter as sophomore Dick Rind-fuss and Timberlake combined talents, the former plunging into paydirt from the four. With more than 10 minutes to play the Wolverines still had plenty of time, if they could stop the Cornhuskers and get the balL But they couldn't Nebraska held on to the ball for nearly six minutes, drove 75 yards and Thornton ran unmolested the final 16.

The Pistons' roster now numbers 14. Those dropped were Bill Nelson, Ken Nevels, Fred Prime and Ed Stewart, none of whom were draft choices. Badgers Rout New LAS VEGAS, Sept.

29 OP) Argentina's Jorge Fernandez won a unanimous decision over Charley Scott of Philadelphia Saturday night in a brawl that was a slug- test tor tne lull 10 rounds. Fernandez weighed 150'i and Scott 149'4. Fernandez, who had his 27th birthday Friday, and the 26-year- oid Scott brought the small crowd in the Las Vegas Convention cen ter to its feet as they staged a wild exchange in the 10th round, both going all-out for a knockout. The bout was nationally televised, i Ohio Concluded from Page 1-1 back Bob Klein to the North Carolina 24, the picture play. Eight plays later fullback Dave Francis blasted over from the 12.

The next drive, of 48 yards, took only eight plays with Mummey scoring from eight yards out. North Carolina, taking advan tage of two Buckeye fumbles, threatened, but the drive died when Ohio intercepted on the Buckeye 27. The next time, the Tarheels recovered a fumble on the Ohio 42 and scored in eight plays, quarterback Edge sneak ing the last yard. Edgd passed for 41 of the 42 yards the drive. ers, 13-7, in a nationally televised football game.

The Sooners drove to a first down on the Notre Dame three-. yard line late in the first quarter but the Fighting Irish yielded only two yards before quarterback Monte Deere's fourth down pitch- out was wild. Notre Dame re-; covered on the 12. But the Irish gave the Sooners another chance a minute later when quarterback Daryle Lamon-ica fumbled and end John Flynn recovered on the Notre Dame 30. Lamonica redeemed himself quickly, picking off Norman Smith's first down pass at the 15.

KICKOFF DRIVES Notre Dame drove for touchdowns after receiving the opening and second half kickoffs. Halfback Ed Rutkowski capped the 69-yard opening drive with a burst into the end zone from the seven. Rutkowski also kicked the extra point. The Irish gave Oklahoma a lesson in ball control after receiving the second half kickoff, using 11 minutes and-35 seconds to go 89 yards. Fullback Bill Ahem scored the clincher from the nine yard line but Rutkowski's kick was wide to give Oklahoma hope.

Halfback Paul Lea scored Oklahoma's lone touchdown on a one yard plunge seconds before the first quarter ended. Lea's touchdown came at the end of a 58-yard drive. The victory was Notre Dame's fifth over Oklahoma in six meetings. It was Notre Dame's first game of the season while Oklahoma opened last week with a victory over Syracuse. ROLLOUTS HELP Both teams moved the ball well on the ground but Notre Dame's superiority in the air coupled with Lamonica's rollout threat kept the Oklahoma defense spread wide.

And the Irish line was especially tough in third down situations, stopping Oklahoma repeatedly on crucial plays. Lamonica completed five of five passes for 26 yards and added 37 yards running. However, he lost 12 yards when caught behind the line attempting to pass. Frank Budka, Notro Dame's al ternate quarterback, completed one of three passes for 16 yards. Statistics D.

The outclassed Bearcats, play ing their first football game since 1937 against a Big Ten team at home, held firm in the first quarter, but then began to crumble.

Indiana recovered a Bearcat fumble on Cincinnati's own 44 and marched to a touchdown in eight plays, with Woodson plumging across from the two. Tom No- watzke kicked the extra point. After the kickoff, U. C. scored in eight plays going 77-yaras.

Royce Starks, a junior halfback from St. Clairsville, scored the touchdown on a one-yard plunge. His extra point kick was low. The Hoosiers immediately be gan another march. When this bogged down on the Cincinnati 7, quarterback Dick Babar tossed a fourth-down pass to Rudy Kue- chenberg to widen Indiana's mar gin.

Nowatzke kick was low, but the sophomore fullback from Michigan City, made good on his next chance, which came after Woodson's second touchdown. Sophomore Don Croftcbeck, from Allison, scored the Hoosiers' last touchdown after in tercepting Larry Harp's pass on the Cincinnati 18. Woodson carried the ball 21 times for a total of 90 yards to lead the Hoosiers' 244-yard ground offense. Statistics Ind.

29 UrV-Wash-ington sputtered at times but hounded Illinois like a hungry hunting pack when the opportunity offered and whipped the eager young Illini, 28-7, Saturday in a football game before 54,000. Illinois threatened to make a game of it in the second quarter and got its only touchdown just two seconds before the halftime gun. But even that upsurge had been offset in the same period by an unexpected Washington score. The Huskies, showing the power that has made them a west ern favorite, slashed 69 yards in 12 plays in the opening quarter, never once trying a pass. Charley Mitchell knifed the last four yards and sophomore Jim Norton kicked his first of four conversions.

Washington was stunned when Illinois' largely-sophomore lineup came roaring back in the second period and drove to the Washington 11. There things went wrong for the Illini. They lost 15 on a holding penalty and then a fumble on an intended pass was recovered by Washington and a roughing penalty on the same play gave the Huskies the ball on the visitors'' 31. On the first play end Lee Bern hardt dropped far behind the Il linois defense and took a pass from quarterback Bill Siler as he crossed the goal line. Statistics 1VU WASH.

Grand Rapids Catholic scored its first touchdown when halfback Ed Karas went around left end for five yards to cap at 72 yard drive in eight plays.

Tom Reens ran for the extra point. The second TD came in the third quarter following a 73-yard drive in 10 plays.

Ron Vanderkelen completed a 62-yard movement with the second half kickoff by passing to Holland for nine yards and a touchdown. Then Brandt scored on a neat run from eight yards out and veteran Merritt Norvell tallied on' a plunge from the New Mexico State one.

The visiting Aggies, humilated in their first meeting with a Big Ten team, then managed to score as fullback Jim Brown, no rela tion to Cleveland's National Foot ball league great, broke through the left side of the Wisconsin line and raced 77 yards for a touchdown. Ralph Kurek, a 200-pound sophomore fullback rated no better than third string in the pre-season drills, accounted for Wisconsin's final two touchdowns. Kurek cracked leftguard twice on scor ing jaunts of 21 and 31 yards within two minutes late in the third period. X. M.

The Gophers controled the ball nearly three-fourths of the game but were unable to crash over the goal line. Minnesota, its attack greatly weakened by graduation of All-America quarterback Sandy Steph ens, got is first chance late in the opening period when Paul Ben son recovered a fumble on the Missouri 21. The Big Ten warriors pushed to the Tiger two, where the drive sputtered.

Again the second period Min nesota launched a drive, moving from its own 11 to the missouri one before the battered Missouri line stifled the attack. Missouri's best offensive display came in the third period when left-handed quarterback Jim John son fired a 55-yard aerial to Bill Tobin. The play carried the Tigers to the Minnesota 30, where the experienced Gopher line slammed the door. Minnesota gained 139 yards rushing to Missouri's 94 and had 13 first downs to the Tigers' seven. The Gophers also outgained Missouri in the air, 106 yards to 71 yards.
