The crippled Lions, most of SACRAMENTO, Nov. 27. One week ago today the folks up around the Bay were confi- dently expecting to spend New in Pasadena with their -Golden Bears who were going to play in the Rose Bowl.

To-' morrow they won't even bother to call up the sports departments to find out if the Rose Bowl vote for the Trojans was unanimous or only nearly so. They've given up.

They were keyed to a point approaching hysteria by the fact that it was the windup for the old was through, because hi3 teams: had taken more losses than Victories these last two f-t Loyola had lost five games this in the wilderness is that of Scribbler Prescott Sullivan, who 6ays that California could have beaten the Bruins as badly as except for the fact that Bear Coach Allison a kindly soul called off the carnage rather than hurt anybody's feelings, while Howard (Close the Gates of Mercy) Jones, according to Sully, just kept pouring it on. Sane opinion up this way is that the Trojans are entitled to the bid and they expect the vote to be heavy in favor of them if for no other reason, because the Trojans are less likely to be massacred in the Bowl than any of the other teams. Nobody is doing much bragging about any of our Coast teams this year.

OLD GRADS GATHER Dartmouth old grads whooped it up in great style at the Fairmont on the eve of the game and there were a lot of Los Angeles guys there to enjoy the general hullabaloo. Pictures of the Dartmouth-Harvard and Dartmouth-Princeton games were shown and Bill Cunningham, the Paderewski of the sports scribes, presided at the pianoforte while the boys sang everything from the newest Dartmouth tunes back to the one about "Eleazar Wheelock, the Very Man," who founded Dartmouth "with a Gradus ad Parnassum and a Bible and a drum, and 500 gallons of New England rm."

SUDDEX THRUST The Titan touchdown came when their cause seemed pretty hopeless for they had apparently worn themselves to a frazzle in the first half stemming the tide of the Santa Clara advance and they were getting nowhere fast in the third quarter when it all happened.

Two plays lost 3 yard3 and Canadeo was back in punt formation, but as the ball sailed back so did Dick Grace, starting his first game at tackle after most of. a season spent, on the bench. Grace completely smothered the punt, falling on it to give Loyola possession the ball just yards from the goal line. It took only six plays to get that touchdown, Jim Colee crashing over from the 2-yard line. Then Alec Proper converted to send Lion hopes soaring skyward.

BLAIK POPULAR From talking to Dartmouth people you get the notion that the school up in the New Hampshire hills is quite a place. They have a youthful ex-varsity tackle as dean and he's a very engaging, whole-souled sort of a guy. Head Coach Earl Blaik is also popular with the scribblers up here. He doesn't seem to have brought out the spirit of suspicion to which the fellows up around the bay seem to be accustomed from eastern grid coaches.

He doesn't volunteer a lot of information but he gives a quiet sensible reply to questions. All the Dartmouth crowd feel rather badly about the incident of the quarterback who got religion and quit the squad but they don't talk about it. IT'S PRETTY EVEN Blaik thinks that football is pretty much on a par around the country nowadays and that the differences in style of play are due largely to different playing conditions. He doesn't think the Texas teams would toss the ball around so wildly if they played in snow and sleet and ice. He says Pitt's defeats by Carnegie and Duke shouldn't have been a grear surprise as Pitt's line doesn't measure up to the backfleld.

He's a great believer in sound fundamentals and team spirit and thinks that Dartmouth's Bob McLeod is just about everything that a good back should be. Saturday's crowd will agree. McLeod has been a star despite the fact that he had to do a good' share of the heavy backfield blocking for the team.

At the moment they have their eyes on the Memphis Teachers, who are unbeaten and who crowned Centenary among others. Santa Clara apparently would not he too backward about accepting a Bowl bid of some kind, either. NEWSPAPER TALK Press box gossip suggested that if the Trojans didn't want to play in the Rose Bowl, Stanford was plenty good enough to uphold the honor of the West. Zagar, Stojkovich and Pool were outstanding in the Stanford line against Dartmouth.

Zitrides and Gibson played magnificent- ly in Dartmouth's line. A quick poll of the journalists brought the guess that the Trojans, if selected, would invite Duke to play in the Bowl.

Late in the fourth period, Moore took a pass from the 8-yard line to score the second Los Angeles touchdown. A few minutes later, Stone, former Stan-ford end, took a pass from Joe Vigna and went 78 yards before being knocked out of bounds on the 3-yard line. Salinas was held at that point by the fighting L03 Angeles line.
