Down MAJOR GRID SCORES Florida Leads Loyola, 40-7, in 4th Stanza squads. That heat and Paul Cameron were too much for the Broncs from Santa Clara Valley, where they dry prunes in one day by exposing them to the sun. Holding the Bruins to an 18-10 half-time lead, they collapsed completely in the final period when the Bruins put three touchdowns on the big scoreboard. Record Set Cameron, the sensational 19-year-old Burbank Bruin sophomore, in his first start, his third varsity game, began rewriting the UCLA record books. His four touchdown passes against the Broncs topped Bob Water- field's 9-3'ear-old record of three touchdowns in one game, made against Idaho in 1942.

Here is a brief recapitulation of Cameron's activities and re member that he was not in the game except on offense and only part of the time then: First Quarter Engineered a 45-yard march in four plays. the last a 26-yard pass to Ernie Stockert on the Bronco 3, for a touchdown. On a 55-yard play, threw a pass to Joe Sabol on the Bronco 18-yard line, for a touchdown. Second Quarter Circled right end for a touchdown, after putting the ball on the Bronco 1-yard line with a 20-yard run when a pass play went. wrong.

Third Quarter Teamed with Ernie" Stockert to go 49 yards in nine plays, the last one a pass of 11 yards to Stockert for a touchdown. Fourth Quarter Finished a 55-yard drive that started in the previous period by running 6 yards around right end for a touchdown. Passed 10 yards to Don Stal-wick, who breezed 20 yards for a touchdown. Cameron started this drive on the Bruin 30-yard line, went TO yards in four plays. Cameron completed 10 of 18 attempted passes for 192 yards and four touchdowns, and carried the ball 19 additional times to gain 139 yards, for a net running average of 6.02 yards per play.

Busy Boy In brief, of the seven UCLA touchdowns, Paul Cameron passed for four and made two others himself, alone. He accounted for 306 of the total Bruin net gain of 437 yards. A Turn to Page 8, Column 2 STANFORD DEFEATS MICHIGAN, 23 TO 13 Kerkorian's Aerials Give Indians First Win Over Wolverines Before 57,200 Fans ANN ARBOR, Oct 6 (P) Gary Kerkorian, Stanford quarterback with the aim of Buffalo Bill, passed Michigan dizzy here today for a 23-13 victory, its first in history Bears Power to 55-14 Win Over Gophers BERKELEY, Oct. 6 (California's Bears sounded a challenge for national football honors today with a smashing 55-to-14 victory over the Minnesota Gophers. A crowd of 69,000, sitting in summerlike weather, saw the defending Pacific Coast Conference champions pulverize the Big Ten Gophers with a ground and aerial attack that brooked no opposition.

The strongest California team in years scored two touchdowns in every period. Bench Cleared Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf practically cleaned his bench in the rout, with third and fourth stringers taking over when the regulars left the field and maintaining the victorious march. Jolting Johnny Olszewski, California's fullback candidate for All-America laurels, carried the load in the first and third periods, packing the ball 17 times for a total of 141 yards. He failed to but once, losing 2 yards. The Bears drove 80 and 70 yards for first-quarter scores and went 40 and 61 yards to tally twice in the second period.

Record Score In the third quarter they smashed 63 and 44 yards. The last-period touchdowns followed advances of 76 and 49 yards. It was the largest score rolled up against a Minnesota team in the Big Ten schools 70 years of football competition. Minnesota, completely outclassed, put together touchdown marches of 65 yards in the second period and 66 yards in the fourth quarter. Both touchdowns were made against second-string California defensive players.

Records Fall California didn't have to punt cnce in the contest. The statistics showed that California gained a net of 638 yards, rushing and passing, for a new California offensive record. The former record of net rushing and passing yardage was 550 Turn to Pace 8, Column 5 Bears Better Than Big 10 Clubs Fesler BERKELEY. Oct. 6 won't run up against another team that strong all year at Thus did Minnesota Coach BV BRA VEX DYER Times Staff Representative SEATTLE, Oct 6 Move over, Leo Durocher and your New York Giants, to make room for Jess Hill and an other miracle team.

The Trojans of Southern California were all of that to- iday, at least, as they stunned a partisan crowd of 47,000 fans beat Washington, 20-13, in one of the most savage gridiron battles ever played in this long series. Fighting back from one disheartening break after another. Hill's hard-hitting boys untied a 13-13 deadlock with a 75-yard march late in the fourth quarter. The great experiment blossomed in full bloom today as Washington's Rose Bowl favorites receipted for one of the most shocking upsets in PCC history. Inside Track Off their performance todaj the Trojans, and not Washington, ride the inside track to Pasadena.

The depressing gloom which shrouded Trojan hopes through most of 1950 is a thing of the past and Hill's men today made good his preseason statement I don't think well ever look bad -whether we win or lose." Virtually everything happened in today's thriller. Hugh McElhenny, who once attended SCs extension school vainly trying to become eligible, ran 100 yards with a punt to tie the score at 13-13 halfway through the last period. Savage Play The Trojans were hitting so hard today as hard as any of Howard Jones' old bone crushers ever hit that they knocked two Huskie aces, Sam Mitchell and Dick Sprague, clear out of the game in the first half, never to return. SC never trailed. The score was tied at 7-7 in the second' canto, but Hill's club traveled half the length of the field in 41 seconds to get a second touchdown just as the gun barked ending the first half.

It would be very unfair to single out any one player a3 Troy's hero tonight. Just say that they all were magnificent, offense and defense. The defense platoon was positively vicious. The linemen rushed Mitchell and his replacement. Dean Rockey, on every play, and time and again both were buried for big losses without being able to get the ball away.

Great Victory This was one of SC's greatest of all gridiron victories and the subs on the bench were so deliriously happy that they rushed on the field with the final gun and mobbed the offensive team which finished out the battle by controlling the ball for the last three minutes. As they jumped up and down, slapping each other on the back while en route to the dressing room, some of the boys decided they'd forgotten something. Hill Carried They came rushing back to the bench where Hill was talk- ing with friends, picked Jess up and carried him off the gridiron. Quite an honor for a man who has been a rread coach for only three games. The turf was pretty slippery and both teams suffered as a jresult, players falling many times.

Officials kept rushing in a dry ball every other play. Only a slight drizzle fell during part of the game.

BY JACK GEYER Florida's 'Gators, trailing through the first quarter, showed their big sharp teeth in the second and third periods and held a 40-7 fourth quarter lead over Loyola's Lions before 15,350 fans in their intersectional clash last night at the Rose Bowl. "Gators Rally Favored Florida, trailing at the end of the first quarter, 7-0, fought back for two touchdowns in the second to leave the field at intermission time nursing a 14-7 lead. Loyola's pitchin quarterback, Don Klosterman, was hitting his receivers with almost unbelievable accuracy but the receivers, for the most part, dropped the ball as though it were radioactive. The Lion first quarter touchdown was hauled in by Halfback Stan Zaleski after the ball traveled at least 55 yards in the air. Klosterman was standing on his 45 when he let it go.

From Turn to Page 13, Column 1 over the Woverines. A crowd of 57,200 sat through a continuous light drizzle and watched Kerkorian explode in a big three-touchdown second period that wiped out Michigan's early lead and clinched the game. The slick signal caller from Inglewood, scored only the first touchdown himself, but his icy-cool passing to Ends Bill McColl and Sam Morley continually split the Michigan defenses and quickly moved the ball into position for the other two counters made in plunges by Fullback Bob Meyers.

The Stanford runners were fleet, and Halfbacks Eric Southwood and Harry Hugasian and Fullback Meyers found frequent holes in the Michigan defense.
