MIGHTY BEARS OVERPOWER SCRAPPY BRUINS, 27-14 Washington BEL HENRY SAYS: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 31, 1937. BOTTARI'S UNDERSTUDY WAS HARD TO STOP, TOO Proves Star U.CLAs Halfback Steals Thunder Before 65,000 Fans BY FRANK FIXCH A mighty California eleven that brought to mind the late Andy Smith's fabulous "Wonder Team" of yesteryear cleared another hurdle in its headlong rush for the coveted Rose Bowl bid by outclassing the battling Bruins of U.C.L.A., 27 to 14, yesterday afternoon before 65,000 home-coming fans at the Coliseum. The Bruins, rankest of outsiders at the kickoff, played an inspiring brand of ball yesterday, but even an ail-American performance by the great Negro sophomore halfback, Kenny Washington, was not enough to match the flawless football of Stub Allison's veteran crew. i A marked man, playing with an inferior team, Washington nevertheless was the game out standing player. His 49-yard touchdown gallop in the third quarter, his peerless passing and, above all, his ferocious defensive play, earned him a terrific ova tion as he staggered off the field in a state of complete exhaustion late in the final period.

TYPICAL VICTORY It was a typical California victory. The regulars left the field at half time with a 20-7 margin, shoved over another ztysY jj wi score after the third quarter kick- off and then repaired to the bench, where they remained un til after Washington dazzling touchdown run had given the Bruins new spirit. As against the Trojans last week, the Bears simply toyed with the Bruins in the first half. doing just about what they wanted to, and in effortless fashion. With Vic Bottari, the Val-lejo Venetian, carrying the ball on virtually every play, the Ber keley dynamiters butchered the Bruin defenders.

Bottari scored two touchdowns before he was forced from the arena late in the second quarter. Bottari understudy, shifty Wilbur Ingram of Long Beach, Oh so THAT'S what you think of our football! Uh-huh! One chap said he heard the local coaches were going to try to get the Rules Committee to ban the pass from center on the grounds that it smacks of open football. Here's what some of the folks think sorry I can't run 'em all. And perhaps if the folks had seen yesterday's Bear-Bruin thriller they would have been a little better satisfied with what we get here in the Coliseum: WHAT THE FAXS WANT "I am not getting the football thrills I like and I'm paying too much for what I get. A game of two huge lines doesn't appeal to me.

I like finesse, deception not mere straight power." Paul V. Arlington. "Maybe if the schools would use a little more of Caltech's brains and a little less of U.S.C's brawn, the game would prove really worth watching." Art Ward. "I am a staunch supporter of Pacific Coast teams in inter-sectional contests but I am forced to admit that the big college games here on the coast are the most boring I have ever witnessed. On the other hand I have witnessed some very thrilling high school games here and certainly one could not ask for more entertaining football than that played by the smaller colleges." Sam Hughes.

EX-ATHLETES' VIEWS Just to prove that everybody doesn't agree, and to present just a bit of the other side of the question, take this one: "We have two types of fans, (1) the small group of ex-players and (2) the big group who have never played. The latter group, of course, makes modern football possible and to them the razzle-dazzle appeals, I'm sure. Remember Tricky Dick Hyland who would run 100 yards behind his own line to advance the ball two feet? He gave the majority a big thrill but he was only a pain in the neck to the minority. How old Pop Warner must have suffered. Really, I believe that the hazards of the razzle-dazzle will keep it within bounds but always the fear lurks in the back of my head that too much of this lateral stuff will make football a glorified game of basketball and then all we will have will be a concert played by the officials on their 'rootin' tootin' whistles perish the thought!" G.

S. Oxnard OPEN PLAY WANTED "The game of football needs a thorough going-over. Old John Football Public doesn't give a rap about line play. They like showmanship. Kelley of Yale has the right idea the public wants 'unorthodox' football." Gene Johnston.

"Unquestionably open football with its laterals, forward passes, surprises, is what the people want and that will be the answer you will preponderantly receive but I claim that there is a foul smell to the situation when they charge $1.65 for the Washington game and $3.30 for the game when it is perfectly obvious that the former is the more expensive game to stage." Bob Brown. "I much prefer open football but my pet peeve, at the moment, is against radio announcers who fancy they can add a few words to the English language." L. Ludlow Haight. "I like football. I think the referees are partial to local teams.

I think prices are too high they pack the midget races at 40 cents." Anne Britton. TEAMS THAT THEY LIKE "The team that plays the most open football is Santa Ana J.C.

(IP) Yale hauled itself back from the brink of the Blue's first defeat of the football season today by tying Dartmouth, 9 to 9, with only three seconds to go in an electrifying finish witnessed by a capacity crowd of 72,000 spectators.

Wearing red. the Cougars might just as well have been at home in their bunks. Once in a while we heard the thud of hoof meeting pigskin and we felt pretty sure that somebody had punted. Not once during the first half could we see halfway across the battlefield. In some miraculous manner the dense fog lifted almost as soon as the teams left the field sota had scored a touchdown In the second period, Sweeney blocked George Faust's try for extra point.

There was a swirl of bodies crashing into the ball after Faust's toe hit it, but it was Sweeney who did the work. It was the same Sweeney who last week rocketed into Allen McFarland in the end zone to give Notre Dame a safety in its 9-to-7 surprise victory over the navy. From the very beginning Notre Dame was an alert, smart, scrappy eleven. The first time the Irish got the ball on a punt, action began. Andy Puplis, Notre Dame's little quarterback, ran the ball back 35 yards along the side line, going to Minnesota's the gridiron, Notre Dame rose to the heights to defeat, the Golden Gophers in one of the major surprises of the season by the narrow margin of 7 to 6.

The result stunned a record crowd of 64,100 spectators in whistle. And all of us were pretty sure the game had ended because we heard the final gun go off. But in between times there Memorial Stadium expecting weren't a baker's dozen of the assembled 5000 fans who could tell you for sure that Southern at half-time.

But the field was damp, the boys had been in the dark for more than an hour and neither Minnesota to triumph and thus blot out the bitter memories of two previous defeats and one tie at the hands of Notre Dame.

Threatening weather held the attendance to some 10,000 fans who huddled under umbrellas and newspapers throughout a somewhat listless game marked by many penalties on the part of Stanford and the loss of Oregon State's best backfield man Joe Gray.

GRAY INJURED Gray, red-headed flash of the O.S.C. attack, went out of the contest early in the second period with an injured leg. With him went the power of the northern team. During the first period it was Gray who sparked Oregon State to Stanford's 10 -yard marker, where the ball was lost on downs. Oregon State, snatching at breaks, had two close-up opportunities to score.

Stanford had one. In each instance, with the goal posts looming like beacons, the man charged with the duty of calling the plays decided against a field-goal try. The encounter might have Turn to Page 19, Column 2 first downs to Southern California's 149 yards and eight first downs. The Bruins held the Bear to 331 yards and fifteen first downs while they were rolling up 280 yards and nine first downs. FIRST BLOOD The Bears drew first blood six minutes after the opening kick-off.

Sam Chapman recovered Hirshon's fumble in midfieldand the Bears began to roll. Behind great blocking by Johnny Meek and Sam Chapman, Bottari carried the ball eight of the ten plays needed to travel 50 yards. Vic went over from the 1-yard line after picking up his own fumble en route. The Bruins got a big break when scrappy Johnny Ryland recovered Bottari's fumble on the California 28, but the Bears held and punted out. This was' the signal for the enraged Bruins to go to town, and they did marching 48 yards in seven plays.

Washington's 27-yard pass to the equally sunburned Woodrow Wilson Woolwine Strode gave the Bruins a first down on the 21.

Minnesota displayed no flash of class that won it national recognition in previous years until the closing minutes of the game when the Gophers opened up with a forward pass attack which advanced the ball from their own 12 to the Notre Dame 35 before it ended with a pass interception. In desperation Harold Van Every, Minnesota's brilliant forward pass artist, hurled the ball through the air eight times in an attempt to score and turn defeat into victory. and the entire first half was third straight conquest over Yale with a 90-yard touchdown dash by Bob McLeod and a field goal from the 30-yard line by Phil Dostal.

Al Hessberg took two long passes from Capt. Clint Frank, Yale's all-America back, to gain 63 of the 65 yards reeled off in the closing Eli scoring thrust. The first was for 28 yards, the second for 35 yards, as Hessberg took the ball 20 yards from the goal and shook off two tackier to complete the scoring play. It was a race against time, with the huge clock at one end of the field showing only three seconds remaining and the Elis took full advantage of their opportunity.

"ZERO" WEATHER By the time the game ended the fog had descended once more and even if there had been any digits on the scoreboard nobody but the guy who hun gthem up there would have known which side they were meant for. The scoreless tie was almost an exact duplication of last year's battle fought in Los Angeles.

Southern California had a big edge in first downs and yardage but the Cougars came nearer to a touchdown. No team from California has ever whipped Babe Hollingbery's boys on this field, which is a record that will stand for a long time to come if they continue to belch forth the heavy fog which engulfed everything here this afternoon.
