(F) Army's mighty football team, invading the West for the first time in 12 years, ran into a pack of trouble against Michigan here today but powered 76 yards for a fourth-period touchdown to edge the Wolverines, PORTLAND, Oct. 12. As far as old-time Trojan football players are concerned, the teams they get the biggest kick out of meeting are Notre Dame and California. Generally these are keenly contested battles which seldom are settled until the final whistle, and the thrill of whipping either Irish or Bears is long remembered. Roy (Bullet) Baker, Bob Winslow and Ray George feel that way.

I asked Baker which of all games he had played he recalled most vividly. REMEMBERS CAIi "Guess I'd have to say the 1922 battle against California at the Rose Bowl," replied Troy's assistant coach. ''Yes, California won, 12 to 7, 1 think it was, but the outcome was in doubt until the final play. Personally, I'd rather beat Cal than any team on our sched-, ule." Baker'3 love for the Bears dated back to 1921 when a great California" team slaugh-" tered the Trojans, 38 to 7, or something like that It was a bruising game and almost provoked a full-fledged riot at the conclusion. I asked Roy who was the toughest back he ever played against.

"George Wilson of Washington," was the reply, without a minute's hesitation. hat baby really loved the rough going and he could do just about everything. I never saw a better all-round back; any place." PUT ON SHOW It was Wilson, you may recall, who put on such a whale1 of a show against Alabama in the '26 Rose Bowl game. While George was on the field 'Bama never scored. During the 20 minutes he sat on the bench, 'Bama bagged Jiree touchdowns and the ball game, 20 to 19.

Bob Winslow, S.C.'s end coach, recall3 the 1938 Notre Dam game a3 his greatest thriller. "Yes, I put that 'above the Res'; Bowl games," said Bob. "The Notre Dame team of '38 had won something like nine straight games and we weren't given much of a chance. But we were hot that day and won." This was the game in which the plav of four Trojan end3 (Winslow, Bill Fisk, Al Krue-ger and John Stonebraker) gave the Irish fits. They stymied every running attempt and turned off Notre Dame's gas by stopping Bobby Saggau cold.

8TAXDLEE PICKED Winslow named Norman Standlee of Stanford fame as the best college back he ever encountered. Ray George, another Trojan coaching aide, put the '38 Nv tre Dame game at the top of his thrill list, along with the California contest of the same year. "We had lost to California four years running when the game rolled around and Coach Howard Jones made it plain to us that he was pretty tired of seeing the Bears run all over us," reminisced Ray. "So we were red hot that afternoon in the Coliseum and although Cal gave us a terrific battle we finally handed them their first defeat in 22 games, 13 to 7. "Even then Vic Bottari came mighty close to, winning it in the closing minutes after Cal had gone clear Into the final quarter without making a first down." LOSES THRILLER Even, though he was on the losing end, Jeff Cravath says he remembers the 1926 Trojan-Notre Dame game above all others.

'The score was 13 to 12, with little Art Parisien com- f)leting two deft passes In the ast four minutes to beat the club which Cravath captained. "That was fhe start of a great Intersectional series," said Jeff, "one of the greatest In football history. We thought we had the game won -but now everybody knows you never had Knute Rockne licked until the final gun ounded." Baker, Winslow and George all played in Rose Bowl games. "Bake" scored one of Troy's touchdowns against Penn State in 1923 as S.C'won, 14 to 3. Winslow played against Duke and Tennessee, both S.C.

wins, and George also performed in the Duke game. There have been times that Jeff wished he had them back In uniform. They were rough customers. As a matter of fact, Jtff I1S-1S1 flow crowd of more than 80,000. Undaunted by the Gaels' All-America halfback, Herman Wedemeyer, who electrified the throng with a 70-yard touchdown just after the contest got under way, the Bears came from behind to take the lead in a second-period scoring rally.

It. was the first defeat for the Dons. The game was simply a showcase for the ex-Stanford All-American quarterback, Frank Albert, who passed, ran and kicked his team into a first-quarter lead that was never headed. The- '49'ers scored in every quarter except the second and never once were indanger of defeat.

After a ding-dong first quarter with honors about even, the Beavers got the ball on their 45 following a punt. 20 to 13. It was the 22nd straight victory for the Cadets since they lost to aTavy in their last game of 1943. Army's seemingly endless victory parade appeared destined to fall before a determined Michigan eleven that led at one time, 7 to 0, and after dropping back again pulled into a 13-all tie with an 82-yard touchdown march the first time the Wolver tnes got the Ball in the second half. But Army's touchdown twins, Threat Halted Two plays gained but two to town tonight aboard the Cardinals special train.

Davis, Mho played every second nf the game, and Blanchard, who missed only a few minutes, gave tht packed house of 85,938 fans A spectacular show but it was Davis' slingshot arm and pedaling legs that hogged the individual glory. Davis, combining his terrific speed with an amazing change of pace, ran 58 yards for Army's first score in the opening stanza and flipped a 31-yard pass to Bob Folsom for the score that put Army on top, 13 to 7, just 29 seconds before half time, Work Horses Either Davis or Blanchard handled the ball on all but one play as the West Pointers plowed 76 yards on 11 plays at the utset of the final period for their all-important touchdown. Blanchard skidded off Michigan right end from the 7-yard line for the big score, carrying Michigan ballishly cold.

They turned a recovered fumble into one scoring opportunity and shortly after converted a pas3 interception Into another touchdown to lead, at half time, 13-6. Another pass Interception In the third quarter turned into a touchdown. The desperate Gaels put on one fourth-period touchdown march but time ran out on them. California held the ball at the game's end. For the-record it should, be pointed out that the Gaels were the victims of some bad breaks, although the Bears were hitting their rivals plenty hard.

California recovered four St. Mary's fumbles and intercepted four passes. fullback, cut through ms own left tackle on a reverse. Picking up three blockers, the big Beaver back bowled his way clear down to the 7 where Don Doll bounced him out of bounds. Defensive work on the part riman, spearheading the Indian attack, lived up to his advance press notices as his team scored once and threatened thrice.

But in the final analysis, it was that superior Bruin line which opened nice holes in the first half and turned back- Mr. Merriman and friends in the i second that the difference between victory and defeat. LaBrucherie's boys drove straight down the field for 70 yards and scored in" seven plays after the opening kickoff. Everyone in the humanity-lined bowl except the Indians knew who was going to win after that. Fast Start Rossi took the opening kick-" off back 28 yards and on the first play Case flipped a nice-, pass into Baldwin's mitts.

Burr took it in on the 38 and, when the Indian defenders closed in," he tossed a lateral to Rossi who meandered down past midfield. When the resolute Redskins closed in on him, Cal in turn tossed the ball to Tom Fears who finally was run down on, the 34-yard line. On the next play Rossi broke through to the 8, only to have the play called back and the Uclans penalized to the Stanford 48 for holding. That didn't stop the Uclans for" minute. Jerry Shlpkey smashed for 4 yards and then the Case-to-Baldwin combination clicked again, with the Bruin end going for a first down pn the-16.
