if PART II. II Bruin Gridmen Gunning for California U. Hos4naclcs games Trio Still in Hospital Brough Wins Via Default Players Reach Quarter-finals in Hillcrest Net Play 1 Coach Babe Worrell's Task Is Keeping Club From Losing Fine Edge I OCTOBER 1941 BY AL WOLF MONDAY, 27, There's no question about the Bruins having "arrived" Coach Babe Horrell's lone task now is Behind The Line With DICK HYLAND Have you ever stood before those daffy curved mirrors at Ocean Park? One will make you look short and squat, a fatty for fair; the other will make you look lean and lank, taller than Louise Brough, national junior girls' singles titlist, advanced the easy way mto the semifinals of tlje ladies' singles of the second annual Hillcrest invitational tennis championships yesterday, as Marian Kerr defaulted. GLORIA ADVANCES Gloria Butler of England moved into the quarter-final round with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Daisy Du Vail, while others reaching the quarter-finals were Marianne Alden, who downed Ruth Hard, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2; Marquita Donnelly, who won over Esther Young, 6-0, 6-4, and Peggy Kerr, who eliminated Edith Tough, 61, 6-0. In junior girls' play Barbara Brooke defeated Carol Howard, the fellow who always sits in front of you in the theater.

If those mirrors whirled in front of you, the reflections thrown back at you would change no faster, nor to any greater extreme, than the picture of the current Facific Coast football season. At the start, it looked as though Washington, Oregon and Stanford were top-holers, with California a possibly potent unknown. Then the Big Boys each got knocked over and by the third week of the season it seemed that California was a hopeless outlander, the Bruins little better off, the Trojans coming inMnanial strong, Stanford about to be dumped out of the race by Washington, and Oregon and Oregon State sat in the driver's seat. There were good football reasons for all of those assumptions. California had looked awful against Washington State and not much better against Oregon.

Mary's (lex.) Also Wins, 20-13 DENVER, Oct. 26. (P) Halfback Curtis a i raced 27 yards through tackle to give St. Marys of ban Antonio, a 20-13 grid decision over a persistent Regis today. Although the Texans kept their undefeated record straight, they saw their goal line crossed for the first time this season.

Regis took a 7-6 lead at the half and made it 13-6 when Doug Shoul-dice, a fine runner from Milwaukee, streaked 61 yards with a stolen forward pass in the third stanza. St. Mary's camp back to hammer 78 yards with Fullback George Koch stabbing left guard for the touchdown? Trojans Back, Credit Reinhard With Undoing BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN' The Bruins seemed unable to play together, although it was apparent they had good ballplayers on the club, Stanford had lost Kmetovic according to inaccurate reports from Palo Alto and Oregon showed a great running attack against California, a great passing game against the Trojans. Oregon State had a left-handed, right-handed attack that was a passing wonder. Both Oregon teams were big, plentifully manned, seemingly with strong gents who could handle a game per week without folding up under the grind.

Washington, after being battered about by Minnesota, at last got under way and smacked down Washington State and U.C.L.A. So what happened last Saturday? The Bruins, looking like world beaters, bounced Oregon all over the Coliseum. And REALLY bounced them. Stanford, with Kmetovic exceedingly active for a sick man out for the season, drubbed Washington. Doormat California rared up and boom! Down faw the Trojans.

Future Uncertain Except On the far eastern border of the great State of Washington, the "Curse of the Palouse Hills," coupled with a two-week layoff, fixed Oregon State's clock when the Cougars won, 7-0. So now what have we? Stanford in the Rose Bowl, with ONLY the Trojans, 'Cougars and Bears yet to play in the conference? The Bruins now to go through the season to get no worse than a tie for second in the Rose Bowl race? The Trojans to be waxed by Stanford, Washington and U.C.L.A.? California to get tough and do some blowing down itself? The Oregon teams now out of the deal? Who knows? Certainly anyone who says he does is a wizard. About the only thing that can be said is that, because they must play each other at Eugene Nov. 20, ONE of the Oregon teams is a goner. The Stanford-California game is NEVER a certainty, no matter which team has breezed through a season to meet a team that has lost several games.

More Daffy Stuff Due Beyond that pair of items the future cannot be doped any more than the season to date could be doped last September. Too many teams are too close in ability. A tiny letdown such as Oregon experienced last week and it meets defeat at the hands of a fired-up Bruin team. The measure of greatness these days is one's ability to relax when relaxing is possible without danger, coupled with the ability to stay at a high pitch all the rest of the time. There can be no letdowns or the parade passes by at a gallop.

It Is because someone relaxed at the wrong moment that the Trojans beat Washington State, Washington State beat California and California beat the Trojans; or that the Trojans beat the Beavers, the Trojans beat the Cougars and the Cougars beat the Beavers; or that Stanford barely beat the Webfoots by 4 points, smeared the Bruins by 33 and then the Bruins beat th ears off the Webfoots. to keep 'em up there. If he does (and it's no easy task,) U.C.L.A. no longer will be a wallflower in the Pacific Coast Conference championship tango. Off their showing in the last half of the Washington game at Seattle and in the entire contest with Oregon at the Coliseum last Saturday, the Uclans must be rated as tough as any club on the Coast.

And that goes de spite the fact that three players got ambulance rides to the hospi tal during the 14-7 conquest of the Webfoots. GREAT PERFORMANCE When Bob Simpson, regular right end, was lost in the first period because of a shoulder in jury, groans went up from the Bruin rooting section. In came Sophomore Burr Baldwin of Bakersfield and played such a whale of a game that Simpson's ab sence went unnoticed the rest of the game. Baldwin not only took a touch down pass from Bob Waterfield but proved a very adequate running mate of Herb Wiener, the other flanker, at booming into Oregon plays with devastating effect. If those two continue that brand of play, you'll have to search far and wide to locate a better pair of wingmen on any one club.

FIX LAY IX SHAPE Left Tackle Stu McKenzie also became a hospital case, but Jack Finlay, the No. 1 man at that spot until he was hurt three weeks ago, demonstrated most clearly that he's up and about again and as good as ever despite his long layoff. D.eane Strawn, young transfer halfback who apparently could run through a wall if urged, was the game's third casualty, but he may be back this Saturday for the home-coming game with California. And plenty of others if he misses the boat. ALDER SEEKS ACTION' Moreover, Center Gene Alder is rarin' to get into action again.

He begged to get into last week's mix, but the coaches turned a deaf ear because of his recent hack injury. Also, Howard Hunt, 100-pound right halfback, where beef is sorely lacking, will be available for the Golden Bear fracas. Ditto for Tackle Mario Russo, who also was kept on the bench because of his weak ankle. Simpson, McKenzie and Strawn remained in the hospital yesterday. Simpson was taped up like a mummy, McKenzie's arm was put in a cast, Strawn was getting baked like a cake under the lamp.

AMPLE FREE PARKING EACUITIES 63rd Anniversary Values for Men Cub-Pasadena Titanic Gets Jaysee Spotlight Southern California's football team, convinced that, with a good break or two it could have beaten California at Berkeley on Saturday, returned home yesterday and settled down to two weeks of preparation for its next opponent, high and mighty Stanford. "I was well pleased with the way the boys played," said Coach Sam Barry. "On the play when Ray Dunn intercepted Paul Taylor's pass, we might just as well have scored.

And if we had scored instead of California there, the game would have been different." NOT THROWER'S FAULT There was merit in Coach Barry's argument. Doug Essick, lor whom that pass was intended, was behind Walt Gordon, the Bear defender. But Bob Rein-hard, who did more than any one other man to upset Troy Saturday, rushed the Trojan thrower and just caught Taylor's arm enough to shorten the throw so that the ball went sailing to Dunn instead. "Both teams played hard blocking, hard tackling football," continued Barry. "It was a harder game than the one with California a year ago.

But Reinhard kept the pressure on us with his kicking." Even though it was a rugged battle, the Trojans came through the game without serious injury. Barry intends to give the team a rest today and then will start drilling for Stanford a Aveek from Saturday. Sam plans to personally scout the Indians when they play-Santa Clara this week-end.

ONE GOOD HAPPENING Out of the California defeat came at least one ray of light. It was the return to the line-up of Capt. Boh de Lauer and the fact that he survived the California game with his game knee intact.

That indicated to Sam that at long last his tackle problems may be near an end, after a half season of injuries and illness. One thing that came solidly to the front was the fact that Bobby Robertson is the backfield ace on the Trojan eleven. On both offense and defense Bobby was the whole show, just as he was last season, and S.C. might just as well make up its mind to that. Gonzaga Chalks Up 19-13 Win SPOKANE (Wash.) Oct.

26. (JP) Portland University's outmanned football team was defeated today by Gonzaga, 19 to 13, after twice evening up the game. Gonzaga scored in the period after a 63-yard drive, Fullback Ross plunging over. The try for point was wide. Left Half Farnsworth evened the score for Portland in the second period on a lateral and Portland went ahead when Huntzingcr kicked the extra point.

In- the fourth period, Gersten-berger put Gonzaga in front again. by scoring after a Portland fumble. Goodwin's placement was good. Portland tied the game up immediately, Farnsworth taking a 30-yard pass and racing 33 yards to the goal. The kick was wide.

The tiring Portland team lost the game when Goodwin passed 35 yards to Scherger on the Portland goal. The try for point missed.
