It was the first Pacific Coast conference loss for the Huskies.

A DISAPPOINTED homecoming crowd of 55,200, largest ever to see a football game in the Pacific northwest, saw the Bears come roaring from behind to win their seventh victory of the season. Sharing- honors with Marinos were California's bruising -backfield trio of John Olszewski, Pete Schabarum and Jim Monachino and a hard-charging Bear line. Schabarum scored both California touchdowns, the first on a six-yard drive thru left tackle and the second on a 1 26-yard pass from Marinos. Washington staged a great but futile drive near the end of the game, moving 81 yards to the California two-yard line before the Huskies fumbled. Washington's Ernie Stein immediately recovered a fumble by Schabarum on the California nine, but the charging Bears rushed Don.

Heinrich, recovered another fumble and stalled out, for the rest of the game. Marinos, choosing his spots carefully, completed seven out of his nine passing attempts for "a net total of 81 yards. 1 Kca rn cy To pi es Cliadron, 11 to 7 KEARNEY, Web. Kearney jolted Chadron. 14-7.

Nebraska trailed by only 14-13 and hope sprang anew. Hearts bounced back and forth like a ping pong ball in the second half. Four times did the lead change hands. And then Reynolds, the grenadier of grenadiers, applied the hotfoot with a 33-yard touchdown jaunt that demands microscopic study before it can be believed. Seven minutes remaining, Rampant Robert's peerless jaunt put the Huskers ahead 40-27.
