And about "the best way you can describe Saturday's 40-to-O Trojan victory over the Oregon eleven is that Southern California was in the clouds, while the Broncos Trip Gaels, 20-7 Last-Quarter Aerial Drive Nets Santa Clara Victory Before 36,000 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.

15. (P) Held even for three periods, Santa Clara's Broncos put together a slashing aerial game here today to score two last-quarter touchdowns and a 20-7 win over their keenest rivals, St. Mary's Gaels, before a crowd of approximately 36,000. The Broncos lined up as 2-to-l favorites and proved themselves in a sensational finish. Just as the fourih period opened, Left Half Jesse Freitas started hitting his receivers.

He personally engineered a 50-yard drive that ended with Max Sailor, sub right half, snatching the ball in the Webfoots were trying to get over the effects of beating the Bruins. Because the invaders can't possibly be that bad a grid team on any given Saturday and there has been nothing to Indicate that the Trojans are that good. MARKED IMPROVEMENT Nevertheless, there has been a remarkable improvement in Coach Jeff Cravath's eleven since that sad September afternoon when Tulane trounced 'em, 27 to 13, and could have poured it on worse. Had anyone told you that day lend zone for the touchdown that or any time in the several weeks that followed that the Trojans had a ghost of a broke the deadlock. THREAT HALTED Shortly after that the Broncos were knocking at the St.

Mary's Last-Quarter Passing Attack Brings Victory to Del Rey Eleven BY BOB S.MY8ER Three deadly accurate Loyola passes in the early minutes of the fourth quarter broke the backs of a game Santa Ana Army Air Base eleven yesterday at Gilmore Stadium and the Lions snapped a three-game losing streak with a 13-0 victory over the Soldiers. Halted on the 1-yard line after a 74-yard drive by land in the third quarter, the Lions decided to take to the air the next time, and it worked but good. The second score was a useless appendage, coming in the last seven seconds of play. TIIK1IX CROWD Rut the highlight of the game wasn't found in the touchdowns so far as the 5000 fans were concerned. Instead, they got their biggest kick out of the last minute of the first half, which saw the Army make a touchdown that was called back, the officials in a hopeless muddle, Lion Coach Rctnie Rradley gesticulating wildly at the arbiters until his own team shoved him off the field, and the ban playing "Three Blind in honor of the men in stripes.

It all started after Marv Mos-coni had made a beautiful twisting run of 43 yards through the entire Lion team down to the Loyola 15. With little more than a minute to go in the half, the Soldiers tried three line plays for inches less than the needed 10 yards. Then came the trouble. It was fourth down and less than a foot to go. When the teams lined up, there was a sudden swarm on the ball and Referee Joe Fleming called it no gain, the Lions taking over on downs.

ARMY CUTS DKCJSIOX The Soldiers, up in arms, argued that the ball never was put in play and they won their fight, thus getting another try. This brought Rradley off the bench and down the sidelines, whera goal f) yards from a score but lost the ball on a pass interception. They came right back from the 12-yard line with a 30-yard I flip from Freitas to Left End Al Beals that ptit the ball on the 4-yard marker. Freitas flashed through guard for the final touchdown. Two spectacular runs marked the second quarter.

Others in picture are Sam Donnelly (33,) John Parker (14,) Loyola tackles, and Home (97,) Army end. Times photo by Al Humphreys took the ball on a reverse. A down field block by Beals eliminated the last St. Mary's defender.

The Gaels took the next kick-off and on the first play from their 32-yard line Jack Verutti, right half, caught a lateral and sprinted 68 yards to score. Ton-win, a sub end, cleared the way with another great down field block as Verutti passed the 10-yard marker. Each team added the extra tally and they left the field at half time deadlocked.

March Field's star-studded fivers, boast- Bears Top Green Bay, 38-7, to Sew Up Title Chicago Powerhouse Retains Western Crown With Decisive Triumph Over Packer Eleven Illustrated on Page 20, Part I CHICAGO, Nov. 15. (P) The mighty Chicago Bears virtually assured themselves of the western division championship of the National Football League today by smashing the Green Bay Packers at will for a 3S-to-7 triumph before a sellout crowd of 42,787, three periods the Gaels held their rivals on even terms. 'BRONCOS GET BREAK A second period ruling by the officials drew the ire of St. Mary's Jack Matthews, a substitute 'he yelled protests vehemently, On the next try there was an obvious backtield-in-motion vio-1 lation as Joe Margucci flipped a ihalfback, misjudged a punt andjing some of the greatest names the ball bounded through his Lf professional and collegiate icgs io me io-yaru line wnere a (football, this afternoon spotted chance against Notre Dame, you would have called the man in the white coat.

And, while the chances are S.C. has not grown to such stature that it can be classed on even terms with the Irish, certainly game promises to be an affair worth seeing which didn't seem possible, say, the week-end when Notre Dame knocked off Iowa Preflights, 28 to 0. LINK FUNCTION'S These last two victories over California and Oregon make you wonder how in the wide world the Trojans ever muffed that one to Stanford. The answer, it seems to us, is that the Trojans at last have found out that they a unit and are functioning as The speed always has been present in those backs but they didn't have the holes to go through before. Jeff's line has improved by leaps and bounds and, of course, he's been polishing the timing of his team's plays an awful lot.

That alone is going a long way toward making it possible to break the fast boys into the clear. FEW PASSES It was interesting to see the team repeatedly knock off yardage Saturday against a team that knew with comparative certainty that the lx)ys were not going to throw passes. The Webfoots sat in there with a seven-man line a good share of the day and still the Trojan running plays clicked. And the same thing happened against California. As a matter of fact, Troy has thrown only 13 passes in two winning games now, and seven of these have been completed, three for touchdowns.

V-t the team has the passers and could have completed a lot of throws against both California and Oregon. GREAT POSSIBILITIES One of the most interesting points, to our way of thinking, was the way Hubie Kerns, the former quarter-mile champion, performed against Oregon. His only previous football experience of any kind had been a minute or two against California the week before. And still he knocked off yards in nine trips with the pigskin. He was in error a couple of times on defense, yet he showed a lot of football sense despite his inexperience.

Take the time he batted down that pass on fourth down. We've seen veteran players ho would have made the mistake of holding onto the pigskin under those circumstances. We think Hubie would have been one of the best players on the team had he started out with football when he was a sophomore. SPEED BURNERS Stop and consider what a San Diego's Bombers two touch pass into the end zone to Homer P.eatty. Fleming called it a touchdown and this really set of the spark.

SXELLING STARTS If his mended knee stands up under the heavy going, he'll be very much in evidence Saturday, although Ken Snelling will re tain his starting status. Snelling, in fact, was so explosive in prac tice last week that he may ba hard to get out of there, Phillips or no Phillips. Roy Kurrasch also has been groomed for fullback service since Red Ray Pierson's loss for the season as a result of an ankle fracture sustained in the Oregon game. Horrell opined yesterday that all hands but Pierson would be available by Saturday, including speed threat the Trojan back-field would present were Jeff persuaded to use Mickey Mc-Cardle at left half. Howard Cal-lanan at right half and Hubie Kerns or Jack Trout at fullback in one combination.

The setup might want for power but it certainly would constitute a speed threat, either in quick openers, sweeps or passing that would give the opposition an awful lot of exciting moments. Naturally, when you speak In terms of such backs you have to' say that Bob Musick is not a fast ball carrier. But, as a lot of fullbacks go, he isn't exactly slow as his yardage record shows and that drive of his is something a coach isn't inclined to swap for a little extra speed. Now that Cfavath has his line functioning, it is going to be mighty interesting to see how things work out in the tough games to come. 4 P.S.: And don't think Coach Frank Leahy cf Notre Dame isn't doing an A-l job of worrying about it at this very Pro Football Tilt Postponed tions for the week-end invasion of Washington U.
