Expects Conquerors of U.C.LA. to Put Up Stiff Argument in Coliseum Fray BV PAUL ZIMMERMAN' Southern California's football team was faced today with the task of stopping the team that stopped U.C.L.A. 1 4" line better than he had any Idea and he understands how it hap pened that Oregon almost upset the St. Mary's Prefiight eleven earlier in the year.

"Coach John Warren has some fine boys and he has made the most of his material," said Jeff "The minute you start taking a team like uregon lightly you get your ears pinned back. "I just hope my boys realize they have their work cut out for them this week-end, that'3 all." Roblin, In Cravath's opinion, is the best fullback on the Coast at this writing. He wasn't moved to the spot until the California game, where he tore the Bear line to during the second half.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1942 Preflighfs in Easy Win Albert, Bottari, Grayson, Falaschi Pace St. Mary's Victory BY BRA VEX DYER Evidently under the Impression it was war instead of sport, the Navy Preflight grid- ders from St.

Mary's ran roughshod over the Santa Ana Army Air Base team, 59 to 0, before 12,000 spectators at the Coliseum yesterday. It was strictly no contest after, the first quarter. The Army had a good passer in Joe Margucci but Joe seldom got a chance to unlimber hia pitching arm because the Navy linemen came barging through right along with the ball. Inas much as he was Army's main offensive gun you can readily see how embarrassing it was for the soldiers. Running and passing behind this powerful Na wall were such All-Americans Vic Bote tari, Frankie Albert, J'jbby Gray son and Nello Falaschi.

ALBERT QUITS EARLY Albert handled the ball exactly five times and produced three touchdowns while playing five or six minutes in the second quar ter for his only appearance of the day. Lieut. Comdr. Tex Oliver used 42 players but it didn't make much difference What combina tion he had on the field the Army just couldn't cope with the situation. The Santa Ana boys needn't feel too badly about what hapf-pened to them yesterday.

The Prefiights won't be licked this year unless some eastern or southern club dares go against them in the Rose Bowl and even should this occur I have a hunch. Oliver's lads can handle the task. Here are the harrowing details connected with those nine touch- downs, all but two made by seven individuals: 1. From the Army's 10-yard line Bottari passed to Lefty Goodhue in the end zone. GRAYSON" STARTS BIG DRIVE 2.

Four scores poured over in the second quarter. From the Army's 16 Grayson faded back and fired a strike to Dale Gentry, who ran six yards for the tally. 3. -Albert came into the game with Navy having possession on Army's 30. Frankie promptly passed to Ed Erdelatz for a first down on the 15.

He then flipped a lateral to Jim Newquist for another first down on the 2. El-wood Dow plunged over for the tally. 4. Manske recovered a fumble on the Army 9 on the first play Albert popped out from nowhere and tiptoed around his own left end for the score. 5.

Standing on the midfield stripe, Albert dropped back. pitched a strike to Manske on the 22 and Big Ed ambled over. 6. In the third quarter Navy grabbed another fumble on the Army 20. Chuck Pavelko went to the 2 in three plays and then Ken Jenson hit left guard for the touchdown.

FUMBLE BRINGS FINAL 7. A blocked punt got the Army in another hole on their 29 and the first play found Jenson passing to Manske for the tally. 8. From the 11-yard line Jer ry Whitney knocked off right tackle to hit pay dirt. 9.

-The ninth and final score came in the last quarter. Another Army fumble was recovered by Larry Lutz on the Army 25. Goodhue raced around left end to the 4 and George Wilson banged It over. One of the oddities of the game was mat ine rrenignis maae but 11 first downs while tallying nine touchdowns. That's the fallacy of not giving first down3 for touchdowns outside the 10- yard stripe.

The Prefiights will be back again Dec. 19 to play the Tro- Turn to Fage 21, Column 4 from the 2-yard line on a quarterback sneak around end. In the fourth quarter, San Jose's first string came back and went 54 yards in four plays with Left Halfback Wea Fisher racing 13 yards around right end for the third touchdown. The final touchdown came in the fourth, a few minutes later. Halfback Blaisdell of San DU ego went back to pass.

Mc-Clean, San Jose sub end, blocked the ball. Thomas, the other end, rushed In, caught the ball and ran to San Diego's 19-yard line. John Phillips, sub halfback, went "15 yards on a reverse on Turn to Page 20, Column 4 Santa Clara 4 Victor, 21-0 Visitors Wear Loyola Down With Devastating Ground Attack in Third BY BOB SMYSER Much in the manner of St. Mary's on the same field two weeks ago, Santa Clara's Broncos trampled a lighter Loyola University eleven with a. devastating third-quarter running attack and went on to score a 21-0 victory yesterday before 10,000 fans Stadium.

Held to a meager safety by the scrappy lads of Bernie Bradley in the first Buck Shaw's Broncos unleashed a furious ground assault after 'recovering a Loyola fumble in the first minute of the third quarter. LIONS WILT By the time that period was over, the outclassed Lions nad been scored upon twice and were draped over the ropes. Their own offense had done nothing but backfire on them having set up both of the Bronco touchdowns. The locals kept plugging in a drawn-out fourth quarter and held the coasting visitors to just one touchdown, but they still could do nothing themselves. They were out of gas.

While the smooth Santa Clara forward wall was opening holes in the Lion line, any number of fine backs were pouring through them. Paul Vinolla, a low-running, drivinghalfback, led the way, closely followed by speedy Jess Freitas and hard' driving Bill Prentice. What that trio did to our Lions wrasn't good. NO PASS GAINS Santa Clara didn't gain a yard on passes, mainly because it didn't have to. The Broncs threw the ball only seven times and completed one for no gain.

Only once were the Lions really in the game. That was late in the first quarter when Vince Pacewic made a great 73-yard gallop to the Bronco 7. Taking the ball on his 20, the Lion fullback cut off right tackle and toe-danced a few yards down the sidelines. Then he beautifully faked his way past two Broncos and spurted into the clear. It looked as if he were going all the way, but Al Beals caught up with the tiring Vince on the 7 and spilled him.

Three line plunges brought the ball to the 1-inch line (the third try looked like a touch down, but the officials said no) and a fourth-down fumble ended the big chance. BLOCKED KICK Previous to this, the Broncs had picked up two points on a safety when Pacewic's kick from the end zone was blocked out of the 'field by Frank Zmak. Those two points looked mighty big at the half after Loyola had dominated play in the wake of Pacewic's run, but the Brancos were only getting warmed up. The spark ignited In the first minute of the third period when Tony Schlro recovered a Lion fumble on Loyola's 44. Vinolla, Prentice and Frietas got the ball down as far as the 10, at which point the Lions held for downs.

But when Pacewic kicked out to midfield, Vinolla made a scintillating runback to the 18. Five plays later the visitors had their touchdown, Prentice plunging over from the 1-foot line. A hurried kick bv Pacewic that netted only 6 yards and nut. the ball on the Lion 33 set up the next rallv. Straight, lino- plays did it again, with Freitas packing it over from the 1.

Al Santucci, who missed his first conversion try, made this one and brought the score to 15-0. The Lions were just plain tired the fourth ouarter and thp Broncs had little trouble pick- ing up their third touchdown.

A lot of ears must have burned today as U.C.L.A.'s homeward-bound Bruins rehashed that costly 14-to-7 defeat at the hands of Oregon Webfoots. Coach Jeff Cravath doesn't claim to have a copyright on any.offensive ideas but is willing to adopt anything that seems to be the answer to his problems and When he scouted the Bears he remembered something.

He could hardly wait until he got home to dig into the scout report files. HAD THE ANSWER "The Head Man's book," said Jeff, "said in a. situation like tha to hit 'em with power. I figured if Oregon and Tom Kob-lin could tear the middle of the California line to pieces that we had a couple of backs who could do the same thing. "So that's all we worked on last' week and the boys simply went out there and made it go.

"But, just so nobody gets fat-headed about this victory, let me say that we were up and we caught California clown. You know that makes an awful lot of difference." DOCBLE TROUBLE Now that the Trojans have come around to the co-operative system that is, doing a little blocking for the guy with the ball there's no telling what they might do from here on out. There was mighty little of that helping the other guy in the Stanford game and the Trojans just proved by beating California that they could have done the same thing with the Indians had they given a little thought to the matter. It's amazing what the right frame of mind can do to a football team. The home folks who saw the California defeat naturally can't figure how the same club lost to Stanford and those of us who saw that thing can, because we saw the errors of omission.

tiVX THROW, TOO The play that Mickey McCar-dle rambled 53 yards on was the same one he was going to use against the Indians when Chuck Taylor broke through and stole the ball. The difference was that the Trojan line did its part Saturday. We have an Idea that, had the Trojans cared to, they could have completed some passes against those Bears, too. It is rather easy to see what can develop if the Men of Troy can couple this new-found running attack with a little offhand throwing such as Mickey, Paul Taylor, Bob Musick and Jimmy Hardy are capable of doing. NOT DESERTING We have no idea that, Just because Coach Cravath reproduced the Howard Jones type of offense Saturday, he is forgetting 1 razzle dazzle stuff.

Rather, we suspect that he shelved the throwing for a day because he had an Idea something else would be more disturbing to California which is exactly what happened. The way' things are stacking up now the Trojans may have to use all their offensive weapons from here, on in. They certainly treat the Oregon Webfoots as country cousins Saturday, 'after "what Honest John Warren's boys did to the Bruins. And we might suppose that Notre Dame, U.C.L.A. and St.

Mary's Prefilghts deserve considerable respect when the S.C. eleven meets them. WAS AN END Our Johnny de la Vega points out an interesting time in the Oregon State-Montana game. Big gun for the Beavers was a chap named Johnny Beau-champ, a halfback. No, Johnny wasn't there when O.S.C.

lost to the Bruins down here. He was still an end, a position he played at Los Angeles City College when he worked on the receiving end of passes from one Jackie Fellows. But Beauchamp, who earned All-Southern California honors as a fiankman, also used to pack the pigskin on end-around plays down here last year. Only, he never threw the ball. So, on Saturday, which was his first varsity game at the halfback spot, he threw two touchdown passes and scored twice on power plays.

Which either proves that Beauchamp has been miscast all these years or that running and throwing the ball Is just as simple a matter as paving the way for the other guy and receiving. P.S.: Of course, he had a good teacher on this passing business lit Fellows. 11 March Field Wins 21-3 Fray Three Quick Scores in Second Half Ruins Mather Field Eleven SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 8 Coming suddenly to life midway in the game's second half, Capt. Paul Schissler's March Field football team smashed over three touchdowns to defeat the strong Mather Field Army Air Base eleven today, 21 to 3.

Bob DeFruiter, former Univer sity of Nebraska ace; Sal Rosato, ex-Villanova star, and Blaine Timothy, formerly of Colorado State Teachers College, scored rapid-fire touchdowns. COOK BOOTS GOAL Mather Field racked up its only tally in the second quarter, Ken Cook, former San Jose State ace, booted a field goal from the 12-yard line seconds before the first half ended. DeFruiter. who ripped off sev eral spectacular gains, started the March Fielders' scoring with an off-tackle dash from the Mather Field 12. The touchdown came on the second play in the final quarter and ended a 55-yard drive.

ROSATO SCORES rne winners then began a march from their own 13. It ended with Rosato plunging over from the 6-yard stripe. March Field intercepted a pass on Mather's 31 to set up the final touchdown. Ned Butcher passed 9 yards to Timothy in the end zone 15 seconds before the final whistle. Ollie Day, former University of Southern California triple threat-er, place-kicked all three extra poin's.

Coach Jeff Cravath reminded the Trojan players in the dress ing room after their victory over California Saturday that they were playing no pushover in Oregon here this week-end. "We can't get fat-headed now," said Jeff. "Oregon Is going to be hard to handle." SAW ROBLIX Cravath didn't need to await the scout reports from the Bruin defeat at Eugene, because he saw Tom Roblin in action against the Bears a week ago and he knows what to expect.

All the players survived the Bear tussle in good shape. Bob Musick, who suffered a bad Charley horse last week and thought for a while he might not be ready for the game, said the in jury didn't bother him a bit. STOUT LINK Jack Trout, who missed the Stanford game because of a sore shoulder, didn't play against the Bears either but he will be ready to go this week-end. Jack could have played Saturday," said Cravath, "but it happened to turn out that we didn't need him." Cravath says that the Web foots have a surprisingly strong One target was the See Lovely Oregon committee. Although this booster organization really has nothing to do with the elements, the Bruins felt they shouldn't even presume to "sell" a State that has so much rain and mud, especially when U.CL.A.

It's hardly news any more in the Pacific Coast Con ference, but the arbiting was fierce and very detrimental to U.C.L.A.'s efforts. XO PENALTIES The Webfoot line held constant ly, although the Uclans squawked to the officials on almost every play, pleading with them to "please watch this next one."
