C.

under a 33-0 score in the city's final football game of the season. It was the worst beating ever administered in the 14-year history of this "Big Game," and a record throng of 5,500 persons, including beauteous Jean Parker of the motion pictures, crammed Bailey field stands and overflowed in a standing circle around the turf to watch the slaughter. At the outset, the game was prototype of past engagements, two fast, hard-chareinc teams battling on even terms throughout a scoreless first quarter, rtnf inst after the turn of the second quarter, a break brought Santa Rosa out to mianeia as John Matulich, end, recovered Bob Carr's fumble on the Marin 46, and the Bear Cubs of Cook Sypher and Dick Blcwett began to roll. Russ Travis, rocking left half, carried the ball five times for the 46 yards, hitting through right tackle for the final eight yards to score standing up. Matulich kicked the extra point from placement, and the avalanche had started In the last five minutes of the first half, the Mariners turned to desperate passing, and the Cubs turned two pass interceptions into quick scores.

Gene Benedetti, alert defense stalwart, stole the first one, getting in front of Carr's pass on the Marin 45 and returning it 15 yards. He almost got away for the distance. Bob Acore shook free on a reverse around end to the Marin 16, Travis hit the middle for one, then passed to Acorne on the goal line, and Acorne dropped the ball. The next play, Travis ran to his right, but this time threw to his left, Joe Kelley making a knee-high catch two yards from the end zone and stepping over without a hand being laid on him. Matulich again place-kicked the conversion.

The first play after the kick-off. Nook Ryan passed out into the flat from a spread formation, and Big Wes Parkinson, Santa Rosa defensive fullback, came up fast to intercept the ball on the dead run and' return it to the Marin 24. Paul Guidice then passed deep to the right of Elmer Costa, end, who took the ball over his shoulder in a nice running catch and went to the one-foot line where he was forced out of bounds. Parkinson then boomed over center for the score and Guidice place-kicked the point three plays before the end of the half. In the opening minutes of the third quarter, it was again a pass interception that started the Cubs to another tally, Walt Thompson grabbing Carr's aerial shot and returning it to the Santa Rsa 46.

Thompson twice cracked over guards and then Bralich, running the same play with which Travis had had so much success, shook free through the middle of the line and Enakerf-hinned throuirh the Ma rin secondary for 25 yards and a first down on the Mann 27. Bralich and Thompson put to gether another first down to the Marrn 15 and from there, Bralich "pogo" passed just as he heimr tackled to Nick Sliv- koff, sub right half, clear as air in the end zone. Plamon-rtnn. one of Marin's best lines men, broke through to deflect Thompson's place-kick lor conversion. At the beeinnine of the fourth quarter, Marin made its greatest WITNESS ROUT dropped its first four before winning its last two.

The odds for this engagement were even money on either team. The team which wins takes the lead in the series, which stands at It victories for each and three ties. The one team on the coast which rose from a sloppy start to potential greatness, University of Santa Clara, goes out against an intcr-sectional foe again in San Francisco in takinp on Michigan State. Charley Bachman's team from the midwest isn't so powerful as usual and Santa Clara is 3 to 1 to win. Oregon State, the team expected to get the Rose Bowl if U.

S. C. slipped, found itself a 10 to 8 underdog in odds quoted here for its game at Eugene with University of Oregon. The switch in, favoritism came after last Saturday when U. S.

refusing to stumble, beat the Staters and Oregon ran up the season's largest conference score in beating Washington State, 38-0. Washington State gets one it should beat in tackling Idaho. Gonzaga meets a rugged Montana team, and Fresno State, one of the three unbeaten teams in the west, goes against Pwtl'lnd. in other top games tomorrow. St.

Mary's, which currently shares with California and Stanford the doubtful honor of being the biggest disappointments of. the year, plays University of San Francisco. The Gaels, despite their record, are 10 to 7 over the Dons. Spartans in 10th Victory In Row, 52-6 SAN JOSE, Nov. 10.

(UP) San Jose State College, highest scoring college football team in the nation, won its tenth consecutive victory of the 1930 season tonight by defeating Redlands University 52-6. Tonight's flurry of touchdowns gave San Jose a season's total of 200 points to their orients' collective total of 22. The undefeated, untied Spartans scored in every period under the brilliant guidance of Dick Hubbell, fullback from Honolulu, who scored "a point a minute" three touchdowns in 18 minutes while he was in the game. Hubbell also tossed passes which paved the way for two more touchdowns. HubbeU's substitute, Carleton Pcregoy, upheld the precedent by scoring once." The other touchdowns were scored by halfbacks Morris Manoogian, Herman Zet-torqucst, Hugh Stalc-y, und end P.uell Clement.

Staley also drop-kicked two conversions and end Johnny Allen place-kicked two other extra points. Redlands scored its lone touchdown midway in the third period when halfback Tom Montgomery passed to fullback Bias Mcrcurio from the two-yard line. Nonrii bav ikaiue Result Last Nit; IH Vallrjo 13.

San Rafat'l al Tamaljiais. STANDINGS OF THE I.I HS mm close YEAR UNBEATEN EXPECTED 1 Teams Meet on Even Terms In Battle for Second Place in League SANTA ROSA AND PETA-luma high School football tennis collide today before an exM'ded record holiday throng at Petaluma in their annual "Big Game" closing the 1939 grid schedule. With undefeated Vallejo nl-rcady crowned Noith Bay League champions, the game has resolved into a battle for second place, as Pctaluma, Sanla Rosa, and San Rafael are all tied for runner-up position to victorious Apaches. The rivals take the field for the kickoff on equal terms, both in past performance and pre-game possibilities. Each has won three of five games.

Santa Rosa scored more convincingly in defeating both Napa and Analy than did Petaluma, but the Trojans defeated the San Rafael team that later whipped the Panthers of Jim Undcrhill. The smaller in average size, but the faster, the Petalumans of Paul Lathrop command a slight edge in having the home field, but there is little choice to be made in any other factor. In Raven, Trojans have probably the best passer in the league, but Petaluma's receivers aren't rated to compare with Petie Falco, end. and Gene Vivarelli, half, of the Panthers. Pctaluma has a buck of breakaway speed in Noriel, a constant threat with the ball, and they have a fast charging and hard hitting forward wall.

With Vivarelli, Paul Mccchi. Guanella, LaFranconi and Rome, Santa Rosa may develop the more sustained power on the ground, but that will be dependent upon the line play. Therein, will be fought the principal battle, for it will be up to the lighter Pctaluma forwards to hold Panther power and cut a path for their own Raven and Noriel. And it will be up to the Panther forwards, particularly the ends, to keep the pressure on the Petaluma backfield. rush Raven's passing, and cut off Noriel before he can get started.

Santa Rosa may be called upon to face a wide-open style of attack similar to that of Vallejo's, for Petaluma has a spread formation which has been little used and probably has been saved particularly for this game, The Panthers, likewise, have added offensive weapons which Petaluma has not had an opportunity to see in performance. As has been tlio case for two weeks since the Analy game, no Panther starting arc certain except those of Falco at end and Vivarelli at right half. Underhill will pick a starting lineup at game time. However, starters will probably include Ben Steele, big center and all-league candidate in the earlier part of the season, who has lost much ground to Vallejo's Harry Rowe because of an injury which has hampered his efficiency since the second game of the year. Steele will be anxious to make up for a lot of lost time and is likely to develop into one of the game's individual standouts, barring accident.

Paul Mecchi appears a certain starter at fullback, although the position has been alternated by Underhill between three men during practice this week.

LACABANNE'S CAMEO INN Excellent French Dinners Seventh and Wilson Sts. Phone 1171 for Reservations Tir CLASH SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10 (UP) Stanford's last chance tc redeem a pitiful 1939 football season and perhaps save the job of a coach the boys themselves, if not the alumni, swear by and not at comes tomorrow. And the men who back their opinions with cold cash think so little of that chance they are offering odds of 4 to 1 University of Southern California defeats the Stanfords in their Pacific Coast Conference game in Los Angeles tomorrow. 'The same men arc willing to wager even money the Trojans, marching toward their second straight coast title and Rose Bowl date, win by 15 points over a Stanford team that has lost four games to date and tied one.

This is undoubtedly the leanest season for the Palo Alto team and its coach, Claude (Tiny) Thorn-hill who produced Rose Eowl teams in 1933, 1934 and 1935 seasons. The sole good mark on the record is a tie with unbeaten U.C.L.A. Thornhill is on a one-year contract which may not be renewed unless the team performs miracles in the games remaining with U. S. Washington State, California and Dartmouth.

Two other teams which aren't doing so well meet in Berkeley where California, beaten four times, meets Washington, which advance of the ball game when Hank Vickerson recovered Rowland's fumble on the Santa Rosa 33, but four plays later Fresco's long pass overshot the outstretched arms of Cannon in the Santa Rosa end and the Cubs took over on their own 20 and inside of another five minutes, the Cubs had another marker. Bush, end, was the Cub who this time intercepted Pres-co's pass and carried it to the Marin 17. Travis and Acorne came back into the ball game and manufactured the touchdown, Travis passing 15 yards on third down to Acorne who this time hung onto the ball on the goal line and scored standing up. Thompson's place-kick was wide, and Marin was saved further embarrassment as the gun ended the game a dozen plays later. In victory, Santa Rosa remains in position to tie for division of the Northern California Junior College Conference, provi ding Mcnlo, once-beaten and that time by Santa Rosa, is tied or defeated by Salinas in a game at Salinas this afternoon.

Cal Aggies Defeated by C.O.P., 21-12 STOCKTON, Nov. 10 (UP) College of Pacific's ground attack netted Amos Alonzo Stagg's Bengals a 21-12 victory over the California Aggies here tonight. Pacific superiority in running plays counterbalanced an effective Aggie passing attack. The Aggies opened the scoring in the first period following Her-inger's interception of a Pacific pass.

Hcringer passed to Fred Marrall who went to the four. Hcringer plunged over from there. Pacific scored in the second. Bob Kicnlz ran a punt from his 47 to the Aggie 29. A few seconds later he caught Bob Adamina's 20-yard pass for the touchdown.

In the third, Tom Oleata recovered an Aggie fumble. After a series of line plays, Dick Bent-ley scored from the 10. The Aggies evened matters in the third on a series of runs and three completed passes for a 72-yard march, with Morrall taking a pass for the touchdown. Pacific finished the scoring on a long downf ield march with Duaue Mears going jnto the end zone from the one-yard line.

Led by Don Cummings, stellar wing who refereed the Santa Rosa-Montgomery Ward game of last week, the invaders have the speed to mutch the Cubs and will be expected to furnish the stiffest test of the year so far for the Cub team that has already turnccf back the University of California, 5-2, and Montgomery, 5-3. Cummings has Kenny Home as wing mate, while other likely slnrtcrs will be Verne Aulthouse, center, George Bond, defense; C. Bond, defense; and Walter Krentz, goalie. Spares include Jack Schoen, wing; E'lwin Phelps, wing; Paul Dahlquist, center; Ed Anderson, defense; and Joe Bailey, wing.
