U.C.L.A, Bops Grizzlies, 61-7 Bruin Regulars Under Wraps as Team Scores Easy Victory BY AL WOLF U.C.L.A.'s boisterous Bruins "blew out" for this Saturday's grid gigantic with Southern Cal by skinning the Grizzlies of Montana 61-7, yesterday before 23,000 bemused Coliseum tenants. Troy'a players and coaches, scouting from the didn't get much of a look at the Uclart regulars, who1 retired after racking up three touchdowns in the first quarter.

Coach Bert LaBrucherle used all but three of his varsity men. Because of ailing legs, Cal Rossi, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope will be back to top an evening of high-class entertainment. The gags which these two have provided at other Times dinners kept the Bowl in an uproar and their appearance once more in sures a program of sparkling Army Squelches Penn, 34 to 7 Before 78,000 BY DICK HYLAXD Times Staff Representative M.

Bruins tallied early ortjd often in 61-7 rout. 1 tually the score could have been just about what the West Pointers wanted it to be, Coach Earl Blaik digging deeply into his reserves after the middle of the third quarter to play men who have seen little action all season.

It was upon this group that Penn scored in the fourth quarter via a blocked Army kick recovered over the goal line. After a scoreless opening quarter, Penn tried and missed a field goal as the second period Coach Blaik sent in Halfback Tttrn to Page 6, Column 7 Ernie Johnson and Bob Mike remained on the bench. But they'll be available for use against the Trojans. Strangely enough, Doug Fes-senden's well-drilled and fcpirited team outdowned i U.C.L.A., 16-13, by staging several long marches against various reserve combinations, but couldn't tally until the last 30 seconds. The Bruin3, in bagging their eighth straight victory of the season, broke their own Pacific Coast Conference scoring record and almost set a new all-time high-water mark for the -school.

The 1028 edition defeated La Afert Beavers Zimmerman and the writer. For the past three years The Times dinner has been a "must" for sports fang in Southern California. Scores of celebrities from the sports and motion-picture world have rubbed elbows with Joe and Jane Fan-during the evening'g entertainment. Among those receiving awards In the past have been Angelo Bertelli, Manuel Ortiz, Sammy Baugh, Byron Nelson, Ann Curtis, Pauline Beta, Spud Chandler, Hal Newhouser, Johnny Adams, George Mikan, Doc Blanchard, Glenn Davis, Bob Waterfield, Cornelius Warmerdam, Bill Dudley, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Frankie Parker, Marty Marlon, Don Hutson, Buddy Young, Johnny Longden and many others. Film Celebrities Outstanding sports personalities present at previous dinners include Pop Warner, Jim Thorpe, Jim Jeffries, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Connie Mack, Beans Reardon, Joe DiMaggio, Red Ruffing, Bobby Doerr, Sammy Snead, Harry Cooper, Ed Dudley, Tom Harmon, Maxie- Rosenbloom, Willie Ritchie, Jimmy McLarnln and famous football coaches from all Indians Shade Defeat Bears Local sports fans who have seen all the other top passers in the two pro leagues this year including Sammy Baugh, Frankie Albert, Otto Graham, Bob Waterfield, Glenn Dobbs and Sid Luckman-will be startled to know' that" the best thrower of all comes before our eyes today.

His name is Paul Chritmanf cf the-Chicago Cardinals, who tangle with the Lbs Angeles Rams on the. Coliseum turf this afternoon. To those who tiave marveled at the accuracy of these other Singers this may sound ridiculous but it not only is a matter of, opinion among the best football minds but the facta are on record in the archives of pro football. STATISTICS TELL Understand, we do not say he is the best quarterback in the game. Even genial Jimmy Conzelman, famous pundit, orator and coach of the Cards, wouldn't go that far.

"We're Just talk-. ing about Pitehih' Paul's ability to propel a pigskin. The statistics say he Is the best this year: Like Franie Albert of San Francisco's '49'ers, he is a. cool gent on that football field and also like the former Glen-dale High, star, he would be something of a Joss in any other stylerof play because he lacks the necessary speed. Conzelman has known and followed Christman's football exploits closely since the first time Paul showed promise with Maplewood High on the outskirts of St.

Louis. WELL ACQUAINTED Maplewood had itself quite a team and Paul was the top star. Jimmy, who was coaching at Washington University in St. Louts at the time, nat-, urally would have liked to have had Christman on his team. But Paul wanted to take, a physical education course and he saw better advantages at Missouri where Don Faurot wan just coming into his own.

So Christman took off for Old Mizzou and gained All-America recognition largely because of his fancy passing. He was a fair punter and could ramble a bit but it wss his slants that caught the eyes of the-selectors in 1939 and 1940. Christman rather rubbed it in on Coach Conzelman by pitching Missouri to 13-to0 and 14-to-0 victories Washington in 1938 and 1939. FIRST CHOICE Jimmy turned to pro football and the Cards about that time and the team, being on the bottom of the National League standings" In 1940, had first search on the college talent. So Conzelman quickly dipped in and drafted Chrlst- man.

He was tired of the guy ramming that ball down his throat. Christman, who was some-r thing of a first baseman and not a bad with the idea of pro baseball but finally cast-his lot with the 1 football fortune seekers. He, just got started well when the war came along and he went into the Navy. He started out a a gob and wound up a lieutenant, serving with an "antisub patrol in the South Atlantic. Paul got hack in time to finished the season with the Cardinals but didn't get a chance to show much.

Literally speaking the batteries today will be Christman pitching and Bill Deweli and Mai Kutner catching for the Cards; Waterfield pitching and S'im Benton catching for the Rams.
