8. 7P) Underrated. Baylor hurled baffling ground play and aerial magic at the University of Texas Longhorns today to gain a 7-7 tie with the nation's Coliseum yesterday, but that was more than enough to see them safely over another Rose Bowl hurdle as they trimmed our Trojans of Southern California, 13 to 0. The largest crowd to see a football game anywhere In the United States this season sizzled with the players in the 87-degree temperature, while the Indians turned on the heat (n that first period. The official estimate was 87,000, with 45,000 of these doing their ticket shopping only yesterday.

Old Sol had sapped their strength and before the Trojans had tied down to the difficult task before them. By the time Coach Sam Barry's team could collect U9 thoughts Eric Armstrong had rambled 69 yards to one touchdown and Frankie Albert had set up the second one with a 20-yard run. Bill Sheller scored from the 2. It was strictly a first-period game. The only other item of Interest all afternoon came on the Trojan side of ledger just before the first half closed when Bobby Robertson pitched a pass to Ralph Heywood that was good for 50 yards before the Southern California end threw the ball away In an Ill-fated lateral.

HEYWOOD TRAPPED That was Troy's one solid opportunity all day long. Heywood was trapped on the Stanford 15 when he tried to unburden himself of the pigskin. Joe Davis, f6r whom the throw was intended, simply wasn't there and Pete Kmetovic recovered the ball on his 18 for a simple solution to the momentary Indian problem. What happened to the Stanford after that first period is hard to say. Maybe the fa mous offense of the Indians was burned out by the heat.

Perhaps the boys from the Farm went into a shell. Mayhap the Trojans suddenly found the proper defensive combination. Chances are It was a combination of all three items. At. any rate, Albert and company never got inside the Trojan 20 therest of a tedious afternoon.

0. And thereby hangs another en- nctmenl of a 1 l's favorite; aga -the story of the team that always was imai.cn rising to giory behind a shocking upset of the team that couldn't be beaten. In this case it was a band of badly mauled Pitt Panthers they hadn't won once in five previous start who smashed down a potential football powerhouse, the all-victorious Fordham Rams. FAN'S LOSE FAITH Even dved in-the-wool Panther fans had lost faith in the oft i Washington Downs Bears Huskies Superior by 13-6 Margin to Keep in Rose Bowl Race BY Rl'SS NEW LAND BERKELEY, Nov. 8.

(P)-Washington's Huskies clung to slender Rose Bowl hopes today with a' bruising 13-to-B football victory over California's Bears before a crowd of 40,000 fans. The Huskies, definitely-superior but pressed from opening kickoff to 'final' gun, scored a touchdown and added the extra tally in the opening quarter to take a lead that was threatened once but never topped. BEARS MISS TIE California came back with a fourth period touchdown! snatched from the aerial lanesj but failed on the crucial kick; that would have tied the count. Whet her the Bears had or hadn't converted the extra tally made' no difference in the final check-l up. Washington came back with a smashing thrust on the next; series to net 61 yards on ninej plays for another touchdown.

It put them safely in the lead with only seconds to go and theyj choked off a desperate last-stand: passing attack by the California ans through a pass interception! that gave them the ball deep in the lafter's territory. III SKIES IN CH ARGE On the ground and in the air, the brawny men from the north; country had the better of a terrific battle. They moved into the lead after! taking the ball on a misdirected, punt near the close of the first quarter, Bob Reinhard, All-Ameri-' can tackle of last year, booted the ball out of bounds on his own 33-yard marker. From this point, the Huskies put together eight line plays and; a 21-yard pass from Right Half Bob Erickson to Right End Fred Olson, to score. Jack Stackpool Olson, to score.

Jack Stackpool, fullback, plunged through from the 1-foot line for the touchdown, i Turn to Tage 31, Column 1 Irish Defeat Navy, 20-13 Unbeaten Notre Dame Topples Middies in Thriller Before 64,795 BALTIMORE, Nov. 8. (P) A workhorse Notre Dame backfield, getting solid support from an underrated squad of ends, knocked a big but eventually bewildered Navy football team out of the nation's dwindling undefeated ranks today. The Irish, in keeping themselves on the list of the uncon-quered with a 20-13 triumph, did so on the fine forward-passing of Sophomore Angelo Bertelli; the sweeping, slanting, hard-to-stop drives of Steve Juzwik and Frederick Owen (Dippy) Evans, and the smashing defensive play and often miraculous pass-catching of their ends, principally Bob Dove, John Kovatch and Matt Boiler. SUPERIOR TEAM Notre Dame couldn't have won on any single one of these factors, and had a hard enough time winning with the combination of all three, but by the time a crowd of 64,795 in Municipal Stadium saw a last-hope Navy passing flurry expire at midfield, Notre Dame had established itself de cidedly as the superior football team.

Bertelli, the blond Italian youngster from West Springfield, this afternoon was every bit the passer he had been cracked up to be. Unable to help the Irish at all a week ago when they played a scoreless tie with Army in mud and rain, this time he threw 13 passes and saw 11 of them completed for 216 yards. almost as much as Navys total yardage through the air and on the ground. PASSES CLICK He didn't throw a single pass in the dull first period, when both clubs sparred around like a couple of prize fighters looking for a weak spot. But the first one he did throw, early in the second quarter, went for 42 yards to set up the game's first touch down: he passed to Juzwik for 18 yards and the second score, Turn to Page 31, Column 6 Sport Postscripts By PAUL ZIMMERMAN Any time a football team can roll over an opponent to the tune of 681 yards you have to admit it has something on the ball.

That's exactly what the University of San Francisco eleven did to Fresno a week ago and chalked 47 points in bargain. Since this is the same team that nicked Stanford for 26 one fine afternoon this fall the conclusion has to be that Coach Jeff Cravath has a pretty fair offensive team. WIDE OPEX You would think that 'a team like that would be well worth seeing against Marty Brill's Loyola club at Gilmore Field this afternoon and I can give you an expert witness on the matter. He happens to be Bill Leiser, sports editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. "The Dons looked good, even when they were losing to St Mary's, Santa Clara and Stanford," said Bill, who saw these games.

"Jeff has an exceptionally well-coached team. It throws that ball around. It has poise. It plays wide-open football for 60 minutes." Which confirms the word of Forrest Twogood, sent down here in advance by Cravath to stimulate interest in this afternoon's festivities. Twogood, no stranger in these parts, could have been prejudiced.

Leiser isn't. AO SCRIPT You might say this team op. erates without script. It sort of ad libs its way along. Even Cravath doesn't know a lot of the time what his boys are going to call.

Cravath looked over his material and decided that the best Turn to Page 33, Column 2 A hard-charging Baylor offense, led by Kitt Kittrell, an amazing 173-pound sub halfback who ran and passed the Longhorns dizzy, and Jack Wilson, key Bear back, largely outfought a Steer eleven which appeared disorganized throughout. BAYLOR HAS EDCE Fast-breaking backs gave Baylor 128 yards on the ground to the Steers' 110, while the Longhorns gained 43 yards overhead to the Bears' 41. Baylor completed 6 of 12 passes to 4 of 14 by the Steers. The Longhorns obviously suffered from the loss of Regular Fullback fete Layden, Wingman Malcolm Kutner and Tackle Julian Garrett, all benched because of injuries la week. Twice Noble Doss, Steer half-back whose foot injury slowed him down, figured in plays that could have meant a Texas victory.

Once he dropped a long pass on the Baylor 10 while headed for a possible touchdown and Baylor's pass to score went over him in the Steer goal zone. LOXE MARKER Texas' only marker where the Steers previously had won six successive contests by margins of not less than four touchdowns came shortly before the whistle ended the first half. Spec. Sanders, sub Longhorn back, booted out on the Baylor, 17 and, after the Bears failed to gain, Bert Edmison, who had got off some beautiful boots despite a strong breeze, kicked out poorly on the Baylor 10. Sanders plunged through tackle for 4 and Roy McKay, sub fullback, hurled one to Sanders on the 1.

Dropping the game wasn't so bad in itself, for the Bruins entered the arena 11-point under- dogs, but what really hurt was the loss of two more players via the injury route.
