They're whooping it up in old Frisco tonight as frenzied football filberts, the scent of (four) Roses in their nostrils, await torrforrow's gridiron gigantic between Jhe re- juvenated Golden Bears and the Trojans of Southern California. More than 81,000 fans will jam Berkeley's stadium to see which of these unbeaten teams continues in the race for the Rose Bowl bid.

Caltech rambled from its own 8 to the Oxy 5 on one run by Chaffee and four passes, only to have the gun outslicker them. Jerry Wozniak's hipper-dipper running and Doug MacLean's power thrusts were the mainspring of the Caltech offense along with the passing of Chaffee. But it wasn't enough last night. Oxy rattled and rolled 53 yards in 11 plays for their touchdown with Sanders and Trump packing the mail.

When Sanders was sprung over left tackle for his 40-yard d. jaunt a couple of beautiful blocks by Al Fain and Ray McLean twice kept him loose. The 34th renewal of this ancient rivalry brought out its share of fisticuffs, two Engineers and one Tiger getting the' next year, achieved his touchdowns on a buck and a BV JACK CURXOW Occidental'3 Tiger bit a hunk out of Caltech's Engineers last night in a rocking, socking Southern California College Conference game at the Rose Bowl before a slim gathering of 6500 faithfuls.

in the second canto. Two more digits went on the scoreboard in the third heat when Caltech's Glenn Chaffee got caught with his porkhide down behind his own goal. Bill Pearson and Bob Levin, Tiger ends, smeared the luckless Chaffee. Coach Andy Anderson's anticipated razzle-dazzle magic put in a late appearance in the last 40-yard run. He passed to End By RAVEN DYER protect his nose and in the eerie twilight looked like a Halloween hobgoblin hurry-along to his touchdown.

He looked like a million dollars to a lot of Trojan rooters who had given up hope. DOESN'T REMEMBER To this day Cotton remembers nothing' about that run. In the second quarter he had been knocked unconscious tackling Harry Jones, Bear end, when that worthy was en route to a touchdown after snagging a pass. Cotton was so cuckoo that they even left him in the dressing room after the intermission, covered by several blankets, forgotten completely. Later Bill Hunter, looking up and down the bench, missed War-burton and the search brought him back to the battlefield, but not to consciousness.

Prior to this, perhaps the most surprising of all Troy's surprises at Berkeley, there was the 1928 game. Although there had been no rainfall in Berkeley for a week, the Trojans were confounded to find the field ankle deep in mud when they walked out for battle. The Trojans say the mud did it. The Bears say it was just another exhibition of good old California fight. It's down in the books as a scoreless tie.

GO ALL OUT Then there was 1031. The year before this the Trojans had murdered poor Nibs Price, 74 to 0. That cost Nibsy his job. Breathing fire and defiance, Navy Bill Ingram came along to revive the bedraggled Bears. Navy Bill did such terrific job that the Trojans, sporting virtually the same cast as the year before, had to go all out to win, 6 to 0.

This was the same S.C. team that finally thumped Notre Dame, 16 to 14. The Trojans haven't lost many games at Berkeley but they lost one in 1937 that made some of us afraid to come home. That was the year of Cal's last great team Stub Allison's great gang of Vic Bottari, Sam Chapman, Johnny Meek, Perry Schwartz and the rest. The Bears scored 20 points in the first seven minutes, as I remember it, and it might Ifave been triple that if the kindly Mr.

Allison hadn't suddenly called off his murderers. I can still see Bottari and Chapman slicing through the Trojan line at will, and it still seems to me that each carried a meat cleaver in his free hand, so easily did he dispose of the Trojans. Yes, the dang-dest things happen in Berkeley! Listen to Frank Finch and Al Wolf, plnch-hlttlng for Braven Dyer end Paul Zimmerman, on KFI today at 11:30 a.m. Nation-wide Grid Menu LOCAL S.M.U. vs.

U.C.L.A. at Collse urn. 2:30 p.m. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.

The most gosh awful things happen in Berkeley! Gosh awful, that is, if you happen to he rooting for a team from Southern California. That's why those of us who are up here awaiting tomorrow's gigantic at Berkeley have our fingers crossed. The Trojans are favored, as usual, but nobody will be ready sit back and relax until the final whistle blows and the Golden Bears have been put in their place. There was the time, two years ago, for instance, when the U.C.LjA. Bruins, a-headin' for the Rose Bowl, so they thought, bumped into a bunch of inspired Berkeley boys and lost, 6 to 0.

KICKER COLLECTS It was bad enough to lose, cf course, but while they were at it the Bruins lost in the most unusual manner. Jack Lerond of the Bears had his punt blocked. It bounded back and Teammate Ed Welch, who had been trying to afford Lerond some kicking protection, picked it up and headed for the Bruin goal. Finding himself hemmed in at mid-field, Welch wafted a lateral to Lerond (yes, the kicker) and that surprised young man dashed all the way for the game's only touchdown. Then there v'as the time in 1944 when the Bruins were l-to-3 favorites with Bob Wa-terfield at the helm.

Roger Harding, Cal center, blasted through the line, blocked one of Bob's punts, scooped It up and raced 24 yards for a touchdown. That happened in the first quarter and the underdog Bears just held on for dear life and lasted to win, 6 to 0. I can recall, too, a bleak afternoon in 1933 when one of the great Trojan teams invaded Strawberry Canyon to slaughter the Bears. This club had played something like 26 games without defeat and was hailed far and wide as a collection of gridiron grants. AVAR BURTON RAMBLES Well, a little guy called Chuck Stewart caught the opening kickoff and carried it back 70 yards to the Trojan 20 where he fell flat on his face as Larry Stevens reached out "to grab him.

Four plays later Arleigh Williams had kicked a field goal and it was 3 to almost before the Trojans got their headguards on. The Bears fought so valiantly all afternoon that it was still 3 to 0 midway in the fourth quarter. At this point Cotton Warburton jerked loose from a tackier on a close line play and raced 60 yard3 for the lone touchdown. The fog had rolled in pretty thick by this time, Cotton was wearing a grotesque mask to game having no direct Bowl significance, but which should show pretty well whether either, neither or both are Bowl-statured. The Bruin3 want to revisit the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

At the moment, they share first place in the Pacific Coast Conference with S.C. and California. The champion automatically' qualifies. Eye Cotton Bowl The Mustangs want to cavort in the Cotton Bowl at long last. Right now they're tied for the Southwest Conference top with Texas and Baylor.

The champion automatically qualifies. Don't be surprised, consequently, if the players on both clubs wear one car inside their helmets today and one outside. Because the Bruins meet Cal next week and therefore will be listening for reports over the loudspeaker from the Trojan-Bear battle at Berkeley. The Mustangs tackle Texas next Saturday and hence will be itching for news from the Longhorns' joust today with Rice. it'll be the fourth game of a series that has been to date.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 before an anticipated crowd of 65,000. There'll be no preliminary. Paced by Walker Southern Methodist, paced by Quarterback Doak Walker, probably the Southwest'? foremost All-America candidate, has mowed down Santa Clara, Missouri, Oklahoma A. M. and Rice, with Walker scoring 52 points, completing 13 passes, gaining 330 yards, averaging 31 yards on punt returns and 51 yard3 on punts.

1 U.C.L.A, has dunked Iowa, Oregon and Stanford while losing a 27-2(3 game to Northwestern, Ed Ryan for a 40-yard gainer and a touchdown. Altogether, Wedey completed five of nine passes for 90 yards and packed the ball 16 times for 100 yards. he'd have been a tough cookie for the Lions to handle, and with last night's help, he was a whirlwind. On Wedemeyer's 40-yard touchdown gallop he was hit at least four times and one tackier sue- Whittier vs. Pepperdine at Leery of Trojans The more sober and experienced Bear rooters still are a wee bit leery of climbing out too far on the limb.

They know that California hasn't beaten the Trojans since 1941 and they know that Jeff Cravath has a powerful, versatile squad en route to Strawberry Canyon. But they're sold on Waldorf and wistfully hopeful that he will be able to regain the glory that was Cal's in years long gone by. The only yardstick by which to measure tomorrow's rivals is Washington State. The Trojans opened the season by beating the Cougars, 21 to 0, the third touchdown coming in the final minutes of play. California's last game a week ago found the Bears beating the Cougars, 21 to 6, California'3 third touchdown being somewhat lucky as John Cunningham intercepted a short pass and dashed 82 yards into the promised land.

Both Improved The Trojans have improved tremendously since meeting W.S.C. It can be assumed, I suppose, that W.S.C. has improved, too. W.S.C. made 60 yards running the ball against S.C, 131 against Cal.

W.S.C. made 78 through the air against Troy, 84 against Cal. The Bears got 225 on the ground and 118 through the air, S.C. 188 and 132. If you indulge in a bit of addition you find S.C.

was stronger defensively and Cal a shade the better offensively. If you want to go back one full year you find that the Trojans trimmed this game California squad, 14 to 0. That Cal club had no offense. This one has. There are only five players among Cal's first 23 who did not play last year.
