F. McColl of San Diego is one of the busiest football fans in the State of California. His son John plays quarterback on the Pomona College team and has been so outstanding season that he's being boomed for the Little ica.

Today, in all probability, he'll be at Claremont where Fuzz Merritt's flashy Sagehens are slated to entertain the Whittier Poets. I'll be there, too, to see if what they've been saying about Johnny McColl is true. FAME ON HORIZON Two weeks ago I saw brother Bill and his pals beat the SC frosh, 19 to 7. Bill stands 6-3, weighs 210 pounds and unless he runs into injuries has an excellent chance of becoming as prominent as Monk Moscrip, Keith Topping, Jim Lawson arid Ed Walker were when they played end for Stanford.

Brother Johnny weighs 190, has averaged 42 yards panting this season, does a devastating job of and runs the Pomona team. Merritt says McColl is responsible for the smoothness with which his club bperates offensively. After all, scoring 34 points on Loyola, as Pomona did, indicates- an attack which was both skillfully conceived and directed. No other team on the Lion schedule, save-Santa Clara, did as well. Those who have watched Mc-Coll direct the Sagehens say he's precision plus with a cold-blooded not unlike that of a Perhaps this is why the Pomona boys seem to have the pro team's flair for relaxing Merritt uses the Michigan two-team idea and therefore sometimes appear machine-like their wins, particularly the 26-0 arid 20-0 wins over Cal tech and Redlands.

The Bruin boss did not accompany his plaj'ers, but came up yesterday to attend a San Francisco Bruin club shin-'1 dig.

He had nothing further to say about Guard Mike Dimitro. who was dropped from the varsity earlier in the. week. Dimitro conferred with LaBrucherie Thursday, but the "peace meet- ing," reportedly broke up when assistant coaches Shelby Calhoun and Dutch Fehring made Mike "hot" all over again.

Times photos by Phil Bath GENTLEMAN JIM GETS THE CALL Following the Loyola game one Lion player seemed particularly' impressed by McColl's deadly, "ice-like confidence. Said it was like having a stiletto sunk- slowly into his gullet. Could be, bub, because Johnny, you see, is a pre-med student and plans to become a surgeon like his dad.

Whether he and his Pomona pals can' operate successfully on Chief Newman's Quakers today remains to be The cfiief never was a willing patient when foes tried to. carve him up in the old days and knowing something of his ability to build a fire under young men I hereby warn the McColls and Fort-neys and Colbaths to beware. The Chief, has bagged many a scalp himself without the aid of even a dull knife! My old chum Heartley (Hunk) Anderson is here with the Chicago, Bears for tomorrow's tre-mender against the Rams at the Coliseum. Which brings to mind that 16-to-14 win SC scored over Notre Dame in ,1931. Hunk, who was ND's head coach at the time, likely is sick and tired of hearing about this unfortunate occurrence and I shan't open old wounds by referring to it, except Notre Dame had gone 26 games without defeat prior to that game.

This, then, was the longest Irish win streak of modern days. LUCK O' THE IRISH The streak began with a 14-to-0 win over Indiana in 1929, the late Knute Rockne having lost the final game. of the 1928 season to SC iri the Coliseum, 27 to 14. The Irish won nine straight in '29. 10 straight in '30, copped their first, game in 1931 and then were held to a scoreless- tie by Northwestern.

After this they bagged five more wins before bowing to Troy. I mention all this because in my book this is Rockne 's win streak not Anderson's, and leaves Rock with the best record. Because Frank Leahy has now gone 24 games without defeat they are saying that South Bend's Grand Old Man has surpassed Rockne's-best. Not in my book Rockne was killed in the spring of '31, but that '31 team was his team and thus he is entitled to that record of 26 games without defeat. Hard-boiled Hunk himself would want it that way.

Notre Dame also went 22 games without defeat under Rockne right after the first World War. Howard Jones and Aubrey Devine ended that in 1921 when Iowa "dumped the Irish, 10 to -7. at could be 27 without defeat when the Irish come herepec. 4.

While Bob Waterfield continued to improve in practice yesterday, was no indication that Shaughnessy plans to use the veteran very much on offense. Bob is one of the smartest pass-defenders In football, and the Rams'll need him when Sid Luck-man, Johnny Lu jack and Bobby Layne start pitching to the Kav-anaughs, Kea nes, Boones and McAfees.

Hoerner Improved The rest of the Ram starters will include Halfbacks Fred Gehrke and Jack Banta and Fullback Dick Hoerner. Dick is improving with each game. He, was so sour against the Eagles in a September exhibition at Dallas that Shaughnessy was ready to sell him to the Memphis Wharf Rats for a corned beef sandwich, but the husky Iowan now is one of the-Rams' most valuable players, defensively as well as offensively. -He averaged yards a crack against the Cards and. all but permanently Elmer Angsman with a vicious tackle.

BY FRANK FINCH To the complete amazement of nobody, not even Dr. Gallup, Jim Hardy yesterday was named to start at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams tomorrow when they meet the Chicago Bears in the-Coliseum. The ex-Trojan tosser is just about the hottest passer in the National Football League right now. Jn his last two starts against Detroit, Chicago Cards Gentleman Jim completed 49 of 87 passes, good for 647 yards and five touchdowns. Two Jims Team Up Coach Clark Shaughnessy just hopes that-Hardy cool off before 2 p.m.

tomorrow, because if Jim has another hot day the Rams could pull an upset over the co-leaders of the NFL. In last year's Bear-Ram game here Hardy hurled two touchdown passes to Jim Benton, for 24 and 12 yards, but another of his wafts was intercepted for a touchdown.
