BILL HENRY SATURDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 12, 1938. A A BEAR BREAK THAT PAVED WAY FOR SECOND BAYLOR TOUCHDOWN Baylor Routs Loyola, 35-2 -Billy Patterson Passes Bears To Lopsided Victory BY CHARLES CURTIS Striking with all the deadly aerial accuracy for which Texas teams are famed, Baylor University yesterday handed Loyola its worst beating since Tom Lleb assumed the coaching role at Del Rey, when the Bears romped to a 35-2 triumph before 30,000 fans at the Coliseum. Loyola, after two defeats by narrow margins in its last two starts, was determined to get back in the victory column but. rwv; 7' i. fl 1 -A 7 sjy IsSaT 7 I I .4 I vA iff Waw' i i Oil I J.

Wednesday afternoon Wisconsin's Badgers were pushing and shoving one another around on the lush plains of their own home State and Friday morning, thanks. to the UP. streamliner, they were having breakfast in Los Angeles. Their team, I'm told, is as streamlined as their transportation. MAN WITH A JOB Harry Stuhldreher, all business and bustle as befits, a coach whose team is perhaps headed for the Big Ten title, is trying to combine a quick sightseeing trip to which he feels the boys are entitled with handing the U.C.L.A.

Bruins a beating in the Coliseum this afternoon. Harry has the toughest job in the world making the citizens of Madison, happy. Nobody has ever succeeded in doing it if Harry beats Northwestern, 20 to 13, the good burghers of Madison are a trifle miffed that he didn't beat 'em 200 to 0. Well, they've got a nice-looking ball club and they look smart, too. BOUNDING BADGERS Fellow scribbler Jim Kearns, from Chicago, discussing Wisconsin's startling victory over Northwestern last week after the Wildcats had Just finished polishing off Minnesota, picks the Badgers for the Big Ten title and says they're just getting good.

Says he's still kicking himself for not realizing that when Wisconsin lost 13 to 7 to Purdue, Schmitz was out of the game and Weiss and Murray were both injured. Last week everybody was healthy and the backfield combination with Gavre at quarter, Weiss at full, Schmitz at left half and Bellin at right half worked like the Four Horsemen as they smothered the Northwestern crowd. KEEP AN EYE ON 52 Prominent in the Wisconsin gang when they arrived yesterday was bettle-browed "Blackie" O'Brien, midget 178-pounder in a line which averages better than 200 pounds per man. Blackie will be acting captain for the Bruin game and he's tlie Johnny Ryland of the Badgers. He submarines a lot on defense and is one of those guys who draws mention as "being on the bottom of the pile." He never weighed more than 163 pounds until this year and that's no sort of weight for a Big Ten guard, but he managed somehow to pick up 15 pounds during the summer and nas kept it and has fought off all comers for his job.

He wears No. 52 and, among other dis tinctions, is an ahower-bath tenor. incorrigible fullback, lumhled in the first 21 5-pound Baylor guard, was plays later "Billy the Kid" Patterson shot a pass to Barnes for another touchdown. Baylor won, 35-2.

GRANNY WARMED UP Grenville Lansdcll, man of the hour with the Trojans, is under orders to start pitching the poi knide as soon as S.C.. gets the ball tomorrow. The records show that every team but Stanford has scored twice on Wash ington this year and the Tro jans are anxious to get what tal lies they can as quickly as pos sible, particularly when" faced by the distressing prospect of rotten weather. Defensively- the Huskies did not begin to compare with Troy's record against The figures show that at Seattle the Golden Bears knocked off 14 first downs and 247 yards On running and passing plays.

You may recall that the best California could do in Los Angeles was two first downs and less than 100 yards from scrimmage. HUSKIES RALLY None of us expect the Huskies to be any pushover despite their poor record this year. After all, before the season opened it was the consensus of grid experts that Washington would win the crown. The Minnesota game wrecked Jimmy Phelan's, team Turn to Page 12, Column 5 on the Lion 35.

(P)-University of California, mingling with the beaten football teams after nearly two years at the top, stakes its bid for retention place in the Pacific, Coast Conference standings tomorrow in a game here with the University of Oregon. Although each outfit took a drubbing from Southern California, the defeat of California was less one-sided than Oregon's and the Bears will line up as strong favorites to turn back the northern entry.

On a field soggy from recent rains, Southern California's rejuvenat ed Trojahi i tombrrow will av temp to add the Washington Huskies to their list of 1933 vie tims. Winners of six straight games, the men of Troy fare 1-to-3 favorites to perform this op eration, with little money in evidence. A combination of rain, hail and snow has descended on this metropolis during the last 48 hours but the weather wasn't at all bad when we arrived at noon today.

In fact the sun was shining brightly, however, rain comes up here as unexpectedly as a broken shoe lace and none of us will know until game time just what actually is in store for the boys. COACHES WORRIED Trojan, coaches profess to be worried over the outcome of tJhe game. Not so much that they really fear Washington, but they are afraid the Trojans do not have their feet on the ground. It is true the boys still are a little giddy over their California victory but it is my guess they'll be much the same hard-socking crew when the gong rings tomorrow. Washington did not enter the win column until last Saturday when Jimmy Phelan's athletes put over, a lO-to-7 win at Stanford.

And latest reports have it that Al Cruver. bone-crushing could never cope with Baylor's hard-charging line and alert, fast backfield which proved perfect foils for Billy the Kid Patter-son, who made a rout out of what hight have been a bail. game. WHAT ABOUT T.C.U.? The Lions had boasted all sea son of their line. But Baylor's was just 'as good.

And another team from Texas, known as Texas Christian, man handled these same bears to the tune of 39-7 just two weeks ago! Yesterday Loyola could not. match the aerial wizardry or Patterson. They could not even" check his efforts. For Billy the Kid was flashing one of the greatest all-around games seen in the Coliseum for years ana years. IRON-MAN RECORD Look at this: He finished his 12th straight game without substitution.

He completed nine passes for a total gain of 135 yards and four touchdowns. He punted for an average of 39.5 yards, every one placed in such a' spot that Lion safety men were unable to gain a single yard in return. He carried the ball 13 times from scrimmage, averaging 4.6 yards. PUNT RETURNS And he handled six punts, returning them for an average of 13.5 yards. From the start Patterson was the offense, but despite the Loyola pounding he came out of action without a mark on his lithe, 170-pound body.

"The guy's made of rubber," was the best expression from a Loyola player. The yardage figures indicated a rout, but narcuy me margin of the score, for Loyola' piled up 188 yards itself and got nothing for its efforts but the two points handed over by Baylor on an Incomplete pass behind the goal line. Baylor gained 205 yards, leading in first downs by 14 to 9. EARLY SCORES Those downs don't indicate, however, the touchdown wave that overtook Loyola with Patterson's beautiful passing and smart 'signal calling accounting for two tallies before 11 minute of play had elapsed. The opening scores came on pitches that gained 30 and.

15 yards, respectively, while in the second half Baylor ran the ball a bit, working down to where measly little passes of 5 and 10 yards could connect for touchdowns. Another score came on a 35-yard run following a pass interception. The Baylors wasted little time with running plays in the first half, figuring it's quicker and easier on the boys to throw the ball.

When Jim Colee, Loyola quarter Frank Marx (47,) Statz May Boss Oakland Club Angel Prexy Gives Jigger Permission to Seek Managerial Job BY ED R. HUGHES SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11. Arnold Statz, veteran center- fielder of the Los Angeles club, would like to try his luck as manager of a ball club before he retires, and he has the per mission of Dave Fleming, presi dent of the Angels, to try to get a job. In fact, Fleming is will ing to help him land one, and in the Coast League meeting to day Fleming told Victor Devin- cenzi, owner of the Oaks, who are looking for a manager, he could have Statz.

practically on his own terms. Fleming feels that he owes something to Statz for his long and faithful service, and he will do all he can to help him get a job as manager. JOB STILL OPEN It was printed that Johnny Vergez, third baseman of the Sacramento team, was practically signed by the oaks as manager. President Devincenzi says this is not so, and that he has not talked to Vergez about the mat ter. Vergez has the permission of Branch Rickey, manager of the St.

Louis baseball chain, to go to the Oaks as manager. Devincenzi has said that he was in no hurry and would prob ably wait until the minor-league meeting in New Orleans before making a selection. There are plenty of applicants, Statz being the latest. SCHEDULE 'TABLED' The directors of the Coast League adjourned today without adopting a schedule. They will take a final vote on one at the Seattle meeting Jan.

The weather man says the "stake" race will be decided on a fast track.

And "stake" is the! word that properly describes to day's intersectional duel between Wisconsin and U.C.L.A., for much depends on the outcome of the game. BIG CROWD LOOMS The kickoff is set' for. 2 p.m. and indications point to a crowd of at least ,60,000 spectators, in cluding a goodly number of cross country travelers from Madison, and its environs. Overlooked by the experts when September rolled around, the Badgers and the Bruins have since covered a lot of ground.

Harry Stuhldreher's Badgers are tied with mighty Minnesota at the top of the Big Ten standings. U.C.L.A. ranks third behind the Trojans and California, with time enough left to overtake them both. BADGERS PICKED Despite the fact that the Bruins have won three in a row and haven't been beaten in the Coliseum this year, Wisconsin enters today's game favored by 3-4 odds. The boys who bet the biscuits like the way the Badgers i of Minnesota, last Saturday by a 20-13 margin.

Week in and week out Joe Fan doesn't know, let alone care, who the officials arebut in this particular case one of today's officials will get his share of attention. I speak of John (Something Always Happens) Getchell. Buck-toothed Doug Corrigan called the wrong turn, Getchell 'called the wrong down in the Carnegie Tech-Notre Dame game and, like the gritty aviator, he'll never live it down. WATCHES PASSES Getchell, rated the Big Ten's ranking arbiter, will serve as field judge today and will have a lot to say about pass interference, down-field blocking and other bits of action that occur in the defense's territory. If there's anything that's been left unsaid about the hotshot hoofballers scheduled to perform today, I can't think of it at the moment.

According to rumor, 200-pound Howie Weiss, the best fullback in the Big Ten, will attempt to outshine 200-pound, sun burned Kenny The Kingfish Washington, U.C.L.A. left half back and the greatest break away runner in moleskins today. DUEL OF CENTERS You'll see Roy Bellin of 'the Badgers, who averages 42 yards punting Johnny Ryland of U.C.L.A. will attempt to demonstrate that he, not Johnny Murray of Wisconsin, should be recognized as an All-American center Wisconsin has a left half named Bill Schmitz, who exped to go truckin' on down to the goal line today If he can outtruck Hal (Moosenose) Hirshon, the hustling Bruin halfback, he can play on my team The Badgers boast in Turn to Page 13, Column 6 GRID GAMES ON LOCAL Wisconsin vs. U.C.L.A.

Wisconsin has a really fine club. Against Northwestern their kicking average suffered because they had one punt blocked, but the kicks they got off averaged 41.1 yards, which is good enough.

Bellin averaged 5.4 yards per play, Weiss 4.3 yards and Schmitz 3.4 yards, while a couple of subs named Faskvan and York averaged 6.25 and 11 yards, respectively, on a few tries. The Badgers are alert and smart and they do everything well, which is what a good football team should do. 5VHAT WEISS DID Howie Weiss, the demon fullback, is quite a lad. Kearns says of him "he was the best football player in Dyche Stadium Saturday. Weiss paced the Badgers in practically every department of the game.

He made C5 yards in 15 plays. He started the scoring with a 40-yard touchdown run on which he performed like a great halfback. His hammering at the Northwestern line set up the third Wisconsin touchdown. More than that, he blocked viciously ahead of Roy Bellin and Bill Schmitz as that pair piled up 101 yards from rushing. Weiss line-backing was superb all afternoon." Fort Atkinson, his home town, is very proud of Weiss.

Last Wisconsin hero from the community was Paul Tratt, now an attorney there. Tratt pinch hit for Pat O'Dea in the 1900 Wisconsin-Notre Dame game which the Badgers won, 54 to 0. They scored nine touchdowns then worth 5 points each and Tratt booted 9 successive extra points.
