Six Uclans Score Touchdowns in Worst Rout of Stanford BY FRANK FIXCII Times Staff Representative PALO ALTO, Oct. 18. U.C.L.A.'s brawny Bruins beat Stanford's winless Indians today before 25,000 sun-kissed citizens almost as badly as Michigan did a couple of weeks ago. Scoring in every quarter, six different Bruins hit pay dirt as the defending Coast Conference champions rolled to a 39-to-6 It was the most lopsided victory the Bruins ever scored on the boys from the Farm, eclipsing last year's 26-6 win. It also was U.C.L.A.'s third straight win over Stanford.

Six Players Score Bill Clements and Al Hoisch tallied in the first quarter; Johnny Roesch in the second; Jerry Shipkey and Moose Myers in the third, and Jerry Whitney in the final frame. It would have been worse, but the plucky Indians took the ball on downs when Benny Reiges failed on a quarterback sneak from the 1-foot line in the thirtj quarter. Stanford escaped a whitewashing by scoring its lone touchdown in the final 90 seconds of play on a pass from Quarterback Al Morris to Left End Gene Martin. The ball was on the 3-yard line when Morris pitched to Martin in the end zone. The Bruins' dazzling halfbacks and bone-crushing fullbacks had the Indians on the run from the opening gong.

Only the great kicking of Mike Durket and the defensive play of Halfback Bob Anderson and Center Dick Flat-land, plus Morris' passing, kept Turn to Page 13, Column 7 Navy Breaks Losing Spell ITHACA (N.Y.) Oct. 18. (JP) Navy won its first football game since opening day in 1946 by downing Cornell today, 38-19, in their first visit to Ithaca.

The following week-end, Nov. 1, Lynn Waldorf brings his cur- 1 rently unbeaten troupe here to face the Bruins, '46 Coast Con- ference champions. But back to the harrowing de-; tails of yesterday's horror picture Oregon State was hope- less offensively.

A missed signal on the first scrimmage play got the Beavers in the hole on their 16-yard line and they never penetrated Trojan territory until the last two minutes of the third, period when they were 28 to 0. Trojans March With steady George Murphy at the helm the Trojans traveled 41 yards in six plays to score four minutes after the game had started. Murphy did a scandalous thing for a Trojan quarterback he actually threw a pass on the first play! It wasn't too hazardous, td be sure; just a short flank shot to Mickey McCardle on the But it surprised the dazed. Beavers and Mickey raced to the' 29-yard line where somebody nailed him. Before the visitors recovered, George had pitched again, this time to Paul Cleary on the 14.

Bill Betz boomed around left end for 8 and then Don Doll shot through left tackle for the touch-; down. Little Tommy Walker, Troy's-kicking toe, added the first of six conversions he made dur-I ing the afternoon. Fumbles Stop Troy The first of six fumbles cost the Trojans another touchdown'! a few minutes later but S.C.'s massive line kept the Beavers bottled up and punting from their end zone with desperate i monotony.

ROWLAND'S HOME In baseball, the following players of the past could claim Dubuque either as the place of their birth or as the scene of early or late successes: Charley Comisky, Charles Rad-bourne, Ed Keas, Tom Loftus, Joe Cantillon, Billy Sullivan, Charley Buelow, Joe Bever, Red Faber, Clarence (Pants) 1 a Larry Lajeune, Iron Man Joe McGinnity, Johnny Armstrong. In football, Hoerner follows closely in the footsteps of other Dubuquers: All-American and One-Man Chicago Team Jay Berwanger, former Iowa University Captains Doodle Knapp and Ray (Toughie) Gross; Max Kadesky, who won the Iowa-Yale game by his pass-catching touchdown, Nanny Pape.

In track, the Olympic and University of Chicago star, Ira Davenport, and Sabin Carr, the first American to break 14 feet in the pole vault, as well as Sol Butler, the colored University of Dubuque student who broke the world's record in the broad jump in Paris at the Olympic Games of 1920. FAMOUS FIGURES Dubuque was the scene of introductory coaching jobs of the following national figures; John Chalmers, former Iowa coach; Gus Dorais, Elmer Layden and Eddie Anderson. Dorais married a Dubuque girl, as did Actors Don Ameche, Paul Gilmore, star of long ago, and Ed Wj-nn. Margaret Lindsay was born in Dubuque as Margaret i and Joe Frisco (still in the limelight) grew up in the old home town as Louie Joseph. Listen to Braven Dyer over KFI at 10 a.m.

Place-kicking the fifth of his six conversions as Southern Cal conked Oregon State, 48-6, at the Coliseum yesterday afternoon, Troy's extra-point specialist fell down and soiled his padless uniform for the first time this sea- son. feet and chugged off the field mat peculiar nignDoy styie that so delights the customers. For the rest of the Trojans, it was an unexpectedly easy game Bottled up in the early stages, fresh out of charge the line, lacking in competent reserves and, as Coach Lonnie Stiner sobbed, afflicted with "Coliseum jitters," the visitors weren't busy Beavers, eager Beavers or even ordinary Beavers.

Stiner Lauds Troy "We didn't have it at a 1 1," mumbled, "but that isn't taking anything away from S.C. The Trojans were a much better team than the outfit we beat last year. I've always been a Mickey McCardle booster, but this time he w-as better than ever. Jeff Cravath's quarterbacks chose their plays amazingly well; that hurt, too: "I don't know what Lynn Waldorf's got at California, but it'd better be plenty." Cravath was quite a bit over on the conservative side. He admitted under urging that the Troys had played their very best game of the year the backs were running much harder than they did against Ohio State last week.

"But don't run out and start yelling that we're a cinch over Cal next Saturday," he sternly commanded. "Oregon State got off to a bad start and never could get going.

(JF) The underdog University of Oregon turned on amazing power to defeat a ragged University of Washington team, 6-0, in their Pacific Coast Conference football game here today.

Oregon crossed the goal line three times, but twice penalties nullified the scoring plays. The Huskies never threatened; in fact, they spent most of the game in their own territory, trj'ing to halt Oregon's line plunges and passes. Ieicht Scores The Ducks started their touchdown march on their own 43-yard line in the third period. Fullback Bob Koch broke through center for a first down on the Washington 46. A pass failed.

Then Halfback George Bell broke through to the 33. Norm Van Brocklin, whipped a pass to Halfback Jake Leicht on the 5-yard line. Leicht juggled it but held the ball. On the next play he scampered off left tackle to score. The try for point wras broken up by Weinmeister.

In the first period, Leicht shot off right tackle for 36 yards to the goal line, but Oregon was penalized for illegal use of the hands and the score didn't count. A moment later' Van Brocklin whipped a pass from the 30 to End Larry Stoeven into the fiat. An Oregon holding penalty set the Ducks back to the 36. Oregon shot passes all over the field but "powerful line thrusts yielded most of their yardage. The Husky line fell apart- periodically throughout the game.

(JT) Michigan's proud and capable Wolverines bidding for a Rose Bowl date, swept to their fourth consecutive lopsided victory today, burying Northwestern's injury-riddled eleven under a 49-to-21 score. A shirtsleeved capacity crowd Bears Defeat Cougars, 21-6 BY RUSS XEWLAXD BERKELEY (Cal.) Oct.

18. (JP) California's Bears combined power football, alert playing and a few breaks to defeat the scrappy Washington State College Cougars, 21-6, today before a crowd estimated at 36,000 fans. It was the fifth straight victory for the-unbeaten Bears and their first Coast Conference win of the season. Dominate First Half California dominated the first half, scoring all its points, then held the offensive edge in the third quarter and was outplayed in the fourth period when Washington State scored its lone touchdown. Fullback Johnny Graves smashed through W.S.C.'s right tackle for 13 yards and the first Bear touchdown in the opening period.

In the second quarter, Paul Keckley, sub left halfback, made a three-yard touchdown plunge after the Bears had scored 30 yards on a pass from Sub Fullback Jack Jensen to Right Half Jack Cunningham. Later in the same quarter, Cunningham accounted for the most spectacular play of the game when he intercepted a blocked pass and ran 83 yards. Quarterback Bill Lippincott had been rushed in his pass throwing effort and the ball popped up into the air. Sub Guard Dick Cullom place-kicked all three extra points. The Bears put on, an 83-yard drive and followed it with a 48-yard march in the third period but bogged down under W.S.C.'s tightened defense.

The ball -was lost on downs on the 12-yard line and later on the 26. Cougars Come Back The Cougars came back fighting in the fourth period to outplay the Bears and score a touchdown after recovering a California fumble on the latter's 49-yard line.

There are disquieting reports about Harrier's fitness, which gives Hoerner more chance than ever to shoulder a major share of today's load and justify all the nice things said. about him. My old Trojan buddies, Bob Hoffman and Tat West, will handle the defensive fullback spot satisfactorily but it's up to Hoerner to hammer the Cards bowlegged. David E. Rath, bottling company executive who used to live in Dubuque, sends me some interesting information relative to Hoerner and the boy's home town, to VXCVE STKOXG MAX He was born the son of Dick Hoerner of Rockdale, a suburb of Dubuque, la.

Dick, In his early days of providing sustenance for his family, operated a blacksmith shop and maintained quite a reputation in his neighborhood because of his exceptional strength. He later became wrrestling partner and trainer for his brother-in-law, Heinie Engel, also of Dubuque, who during the years 1923 to 1932 was a con: etant challenger for the middleweight wrestling championship of the world. Heinle, Les' uncle, was runner-up to Lou Talaber in the Madison Square Garden elimination contest which was conducted by the late Tex Rickard about 1925 with some 40 contestants. Shortly thereafter he toured the United States, taking on all comers and was generally successful. While Midget Fisher of Butternut, reigned as champion of the middleweights, Engel him in championship matches at least five times but could never wrest the crown from hira.

DADS PARTNER Heinie Engel for many years conducted the Nash agency in Dubuque with Dick Hoerner in charge of the service department. Their large garage showrooms were frequently used as an auditorium in which many wrestling matches were held. Some of the old-time performers of the present day received experience in Engel's rings: K.O. Koverly, Bronko Nagurski, Hill, Longson, Alex Kazoboski and many others.
