I But they won't be standout favorites to trounce the Illini if they're favorites at all. 'Not after yesterday.

The Westwooders wound up their regular campaigning by ,1 thumping Nebraska, 18-0, at the Coliseum for their 10th triumph in a row, but certainly didn't en nance their reputation in the' process. Dreary Tussle For the game was as dreary 83 the weather. A crowd of 52.558 peered tently through a veil of fog that dimmed the field in hopes of harvesting some thrills, but got the yawns instead. The Cornhuskers. although pretty fair defensively, had no offense whatsoever.

They netted only 63 yards all afternoon. 40 of which came on one play. The x-Bruins, apparently sensing that 1 they were in little danger, early lost interest in the proceedings. Although Coach Ray Eliot of the Illini and two aides were in the stands, Headman Bert La-Brucherie of Pacific Coast Conference champions insistedV his team was not instructed to play under wraps. Nonetheless, -the Bruins pulled few fancj didos.

Eliot Impressed i Although most of the custom- ers were bored, Eliot professed to be very much Impressed. "The Bruins looked every inch champions to me," he said after-' ward. "Except for Buddy Young, we have no backs to match the speed of those many swift luggers. And there were lots of big men in the line." Thanks in the main to Skip- Rowland, who dodged all over the joint like a water bug with the itch, the Uclans rolled ap'' tremendous gains in spite of theif general lethargy 323 yards on the ground (Rowland M4 Jfev.

Nov. 30.

Staging a third-quarter rally for their only touchdown which made it anybody's ball game for a brief spell, the Trojans bowed to Notre Dame's superior man- overcast. First downs were 19" to 4. Bruins Awaken After being stopped on the 10- yard line and the 1-yard line in the first quarter, the finally marched to two quick. (. touchdowns in the second period.

A 25-yard pass from Ernie had busted.through the line from 13 yards out after a 44-yard pass to himself from Arnold Tucker had set up the scoring opportunity in the first quarter. Then in the second period Blanchard broke through the line for a 54-yard run to a touchdown, and a few minutes later picked up Turn to Page 15, Column 6 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30. Army's super team all but met its Waterloo today as an inspired Navy team rose from the depths of seven straight defeats to match the men from West Point in everything but conversions. Army made three touchdowns, and so did Navy, but Jack Ray kicked all of Army's chances for the extra point while B.

B. Van Summern and Bill Hawkins were hobbling the Navy tries. Hammering at the Army goal line as the game closed, Navy all but pulled the No. 1 upset of the year in a game that thrilled and excited 102,000 fans to the core, and must have aged Coach Red Blaik of Army at least 10 years. This super thriller that was to have been just a romp for the Army, unbeaten in three years of play with Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard as the big stars, ended after Navv had taken two shots Beavers Defeat Huskies by 21-12 PORTLAND (Or.)

(JF) Charlie "Trippi defeated Georgia Tech today, 35-7, with some occasional help from his Georgia teammates, and an hour later the Bulldogs voted unanimous acceptance of an invitation to meet North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans Jan. 1.

Trippi thrilled the capacity crowd of 55,000 with three touchdowns, one on a 66-yard dash after Tech's lone score, and with a touchdown heave to Johnny Rauch. The victory gave the Bulldogs their first perfect season since 1896 when the famed Pop Warner steered them through four games. Pitching Pair Between them, Trippi and Rauch completed 15 of 21 passes, two of Rauch's being for touchdowns, while Tech completed nine of 19. Georgia made 263 yards rushing and 168 passing, w-hile Tech netted 169 on the g'-ound and 115 on passes. The first petiod was mostly a dead heat but before it was over Georgia started to roll Dons Take On Bisons Today BY DICK IIYLAXD Tapering off their practice sessions yesterday, both the Buffalo Bisons and Los Angeles Dons expressed confidence regarding the result of their battle in the Coliseum this afternoon.

"I know," said Don Coach Dud Case to Burr Baldwin, who trotted around in the end zone until his pitcher slipped out of a trap, netted the first score. A buck from 1 yard out by Moose My' ers provided the other. In the closing moments of the third quarter, the Bruins began' another advance that went 73 yards to pay dirt in 11 plays. The clincher was a speedy, 5- 3 yard burst around end by little Al Hoisch. Case blew all threeconverslon attempts, the kicks slicing a duffer's brassie shots.

Big Moment Shortly after that final touch- down, the Huskers had their -one big moment. A screen pass, Sam Vacant! to Dick power here- this afternoon and lost, 26 to 6, when the fighting Irish scored twice in the final period. Although Frank Leahy's hardhitting gridders piled up a tremendous edge in first downs and yardage, few Irish rooters breathed easy until Coy McGee, 160-pound halfback, raced nine yards around his own right end for his second tally in the closing canto. This made the score 19 to 6 and assured Notre Dame of an unbeaten season, marred only by the scoreless tie -with Army. Coach Leahy was not present to see his lads win this, the 18th game of the Trojan series.

Stricken with a heavy cold early this week, his physician kept him at home. In his place, Ed (Moose) Krause, former Irish tackle and now one of Frank's assistants, ran the club. Line Shines The, Trojans gave everything they had and thrilled the crowd with their third-period attack which kept them in the ball game until they wilted in the final stanza. Jeff Cravath's bo3's had nothing to be ashamed of and they upheld the memory of the late Howard Jones, to whom the game was dedicated, in cour-geous style. He it.

I don't think Buffalo can stop us and we'll get in their way enough to outscore them."

He was tuning up the other day with one of his yarns. Said wise old Casey: "The worst thing that can happen to a ballplayer is to get caught on the hidden ball play. "When I was a kid in Kansas City I made up my mind that that was one thing that never ould happ.en to me. "I had been in the big leagues quite a while and it looked as though I -was going to make it.

Then it happened. "I was pi a j' in with Brooklyn, and Chicago had a very good second baseman named Arnold Heuser. I had taken a lead off second when the coach at third yelled 'Look MY ACHING BACK "I was about to shout for him to look out for himself when I felt it that ball plunk in the middle of my back. "Well, when I sat down on the bench there that day I decided that if I ever coached or managed a club it never would happen to one of my players. And I got by pretty good; and with some of the worst clubs in the major leagues, too.

"So I'm down in the minors now and it looks like I'm in. I always tell my players to watch that pitcher, and don't move from the bag until j'ou see him put his foot on the rubber. Then it can't happen to you. THAT NASTY MAN "But it did. It was this year at Oakland.

I had a new man on the club. He had just arrived from the Phillies. "It was against Los Angeles and BIly Schuster was playing short. I was coaching at third. My man took a lead and.

before I could open my mouth Billy had put that ball on him, "I was sore. I was jumping up and down mad. But I couldn't blame the man. Players with the Phillies so seldom get on base that they forget. It was my fault.

I should have thought of that. Because the Phillies w-ere the only club we could beat out when I was managing the Braves." P.S.: That's just a sample. Listen to Paul Zimmerman and AI Wolf aver KFI at 10 a.m. today. The nation's great baseball minds meet here this week to solve a lot of things from player deals to minor league territorial rights, a raft of other items thrown in for good measure.

Probably the most important business before the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, so far as it affects Los Angeles fans, is the movement backed by the Pacific Coast League that call3 for a revision of the present rules so that "invasion" by a major league team of this red-hot sports city would become virtually impossible. NEED CONSENT As the rule now stands, -a major league club could be moved here if: 1 It paid "the Coast League $5000. 2 It paid the Los Angeles Angels "such reasonable compensation for damage to its assets as may be determined by agreement or fixed by the commissioner." 3 Other major league clubs consent. The biggest joker is item No. 3, of course.

But our Coast League doesn't think that is enough," probably because of the great hue and cry that has been going up in the last year for big league baseball in these parts. THIRD MAJOR LOOP? As sop to the fan the Coast League has thrown at us a visionary plan of making the Coast loop a so-called "third major league." The proposed rules amendment as sponsored by the Coast League would virtually lock the gates of Los Angeles against a team from the National or American leagues. Its strongest point calls for "consent" on the part of both the minor league and the minor league club in the city before Los Angeles could be "invaded." Obviously, such consent never would be forthcoming- TALI, TALES Of course, a baseball gathering such as this is not composed entirely of heavy talk. There will be plenty of fanning bees out of which will come enough tall tales to fill a seven-foot shelf of books. In this league we back Glen- U.C.L.A.

Gun Barks A Navy sub was rushing on the field to call time out when the gun barked. Navy had been penalized five yards for delaying the game after Lynn Chewn-ing had been stopped in two smashes at the Army line, but Pete Williams got back three with a run around right end. Then came the gun, signaling the end of one of the most sensational and unexpectedly close battles in the 47-year-old history of this great service classic. Navy might have won with another thrust, but. no one wTill ever know.

President Truman, with other dignitaries from the Capitol, sat on the Navy side of the field during the first half, when it was all Army by a score of 21 to 6. Then the President changed sides, and the Army never saw the Navy goal line again. One for Books What happened is one for the books. Army fell apart at the seams and Capt. Tom Hamilton's crippled Navy crew scored touchdowns in both the third and' fourth periods and had traveled 77 yards in search of another when that fatal gun sounded.
