Yes, Washington beat them yesterday, 21-20. Yes, at all times the Huskies looked able to win as they pleased. 1 urns in First Win Over Gael is BY JACK GEYER Loyola University's greatest football team yesterday accomplished something no Lion eleven had ever done before and that was defeat the Galloping Gaels of St. Mary's.

The score hold on to your bonnet was 48 to 0. As 14.569 unbelieving fans sat stunned in Gilmore Stadium, the undefeated Lions paraded up and down theHeld like a half-time band, scoring any time they so desired against the team that only last week tied mighty Georgia, 7-7. Longest Streak The victory, first in 11 meetings with the colorful Moragans, stretched Loyola's winning 'GEORGIA'S BETTER' St. Mary's clean-cut headman, Coach Joe Ruetz, was asked to compare Georgia's football team with Loyola's following yesterday's Gilmore Stadium game. "I honestly feel tbat Loyola is not in the same class with Georgia," Ruetz said, "and I say that with all due respect to Loyola.

The Lions have a fine team. But Georgia's bigger and much faster. My team was in the same position today as Georgia was last week." streak to seven in a row longest in the history of the Playa del Rey institution. Obviously fired to a high pitch, the Lions drove 51 yards in sev en plays for a touchdown the first time they had possession of the pigskin. Three more touchdowns enabled the Lions to leave the field at half time with a 27-0 lead and Coach Jordan Olivar, who left the stadium on the shoulders of hi3 exultant gridders, tried to slow down the slaughter.

Bench Cleared Every able-bodied Lion saw action. But whether they were first-stringers or third-stringers, the infuriated Loyolans kept right on rolling. The only noticeable difference was that the first-stringers did it faster and more often, which is as it should be. The Loyola line, which held Pepperdine to a minus 13 yards on the ground in its opener, limited the Gaels to 88 rushing yards. The closest St.

Mary's ap- fproached to the Loyola goal was 25 yards away and the Gaels were that close only once. In every department the Lions showed superiority in yards gained, 430 to 126; in first downs, 25-8, and in the most important department of them all, the scoreboard. Ferris Leads Loyola's backs slithered through the Gael line, banged it open, ran around it, passed over it and crawled through i Neil Ferris, the skittery left half, was the Lion workhorse. Neil toted the ball 11 times and gained 51 yards for a nifty 4.54 average. The other halfback, Skippy Giancanelli, romped 24 yards in fives carries in addition to scoring two touchdowns.

St. Mary's John Henry Johnson, hailed in the Bay area as the finest sophomore fullback since USF's Ollie Matson, was the leading Gael ground gainer, netting 49 yards in seven tries. Outside of a few end sweeps, during which he showed a little something, Johnson was a miser able flop. He fumbled twice, blocked in effectively nd apparently tried to cover his lack of fundamental Turn to Page 2, Column 3 Pro Grid Scores Detroit, 24; San Francises, 7. New York Giants.

If anybody had offered to bet, two weeks ago, that the Trojans would come up to this traditional battle without a victory in two tries, the dope would have been mobbed in the rush of those wishing to climb aboard. What makes the task against Cal seem so hopeless is that Iowa was slapped around Satur day and Washington State had looked so futile here with the Bruins. On the flight home from Pull man, I asked Jeff Cravath if he thought his team could beat California, Gifford Confident "Heck, no," was Jeff's em phatic reply, voiced almost as if to question the sanity of the asker.

I asked Frank Gifford, hero of that 20-20 tie with the Cougars, the same question. "Yes, I think we can," said the Bakersfield boy. Last year, you may recall, Gif ford kicked the field goal which put Troy ahead momentarily, 10-7, at Berkeley, only to have Frank Brunk return the next kickoff for a touchdown. Until further notice Gifford is SC's first string quarterback. After what he did at Pullman, skippering the team to three touchdowns in nine minutes, there could be no other decision.

Ahead of Robertson His poise, confidence and all- around efficiency puts him well ahead of Wilbur Robertson at this point. Without attempting to alibi, Gilford explained the missed conversion after that 80-yard punt return by Johnny Williams for Troy's second touchdown. This came five plays after Frank had zipped 15 yards for SC's first tally. "My leg hasn't been too strong," he said, "and on that run I hurt it some more. When I tried for the conversion I didn't swing as soon as I generally do and then, to make up for lost time, I hurried a bit and pulled it to the left." Frank seldom misses.

He got out of bed five days after an ap- Turn to Page 4, Column 6 NEW Stcn Heck, Chicago Cubs, succeeds Bill by baseball organizations who have more than one club in Triple A classification, moves both Kelly and Hack into cities near their homes. Kelly lives in New York and Hack resides in Sacramento. Due This Week Hack will come to Los Angeles this week to confer with Stewart regarding the Angels in 1951. Kelly, meanwhile, goes into Chicago for huddles with Cub executives on the Springfield 1951 prospects. Kelly, known widely and favorably for his work in handling young players who are good prospects, will probably find that to be extremely important in Springfield, the newest of the Cubs' Triple A clubs.

During his four years in Los Angeles he won a pennant, in 1947, finished third, seventh and eighth. Finished Fifth Hack has just completed his third year as a manager. In 1948 he skippered Des Moines of the Western League into first place but lost in the play-offs. In 1949 he wound up in fourth place. This season he brought the Springfield Cubs into fifth place in their first season in Triple A competition.

Hack was born in Sacramento on Dec. 6, 1909. He played with Sacramento in 1931 and then was graduated to the Cubs, where he starred from 1932 through 1947. Angels, Suds Split; McLish Snares 20th Calvin Coolidge McLish, the Cherokee from Oklahoma, had to wait until the last day of the season to do it, but he annexed his 20th victory of the season as he got the nod in the second game of yesterday's double-head er finale of the season, 7 to 4, over the Seattle Rainiers at Wrigley Field. The Angels lost the opener, 4 to 3.

Spence Homers Two mighty home runs by Rube Novotney with two men on in the fifth and' by Stan Spence with one man on base in the sixth brought the An gels from behind a three-run deficit and into the lead. Two other tallies that drifted home also in the sixth were super fluous. McLish spaced five hits for his victory, two being home runs by Pinch Hitter Bill Salkeld and Walt Judnich.

Tunes pboto Powers Stars as 49ers Bow fo Lions, 24-7 BY FRANK FINCH Times Staff Representative BRIGGS STADIUM, Detroit, Oct 8 Jim (Mystic) Powers, the former Trojan quarterback who has one of footballs softest jobs as understudy to Frankie Albert, finally got a chance to star in his own right today.

The brilliant Albert was racked up on the last play of the first half in the San Fran cisco 49er-Detroit Lion game when five massive Lions nailed Frankie Boy simultaneously. Al bert was assisted to the dress ing room, suffering with several painfully bruised ribs. So Powers had to run the 49er offense the entire second half. Lions Win Detroit won, as expected, by a 24-7 margin to remain in a tie for first place in the NFL's National Conference, but the Lion fans who braved a cold rain were given many uneasy moments by Jim's aerial antics. The rookie has replaced Al bert on the offense only rarely, but today he accepted the chal lenge like a veteran.

Braven Dyer will love these figures. Powers completed 9 of 20 passes for 108 yards and engineered the oft-beaten 49ers to their only touchdown in the third quarter. One of his flips, good for 50 yards, was taken by another ex-Trojan, End Jack Nix, on the last play of the game. It was old home week for Trojans. The guy who sparked the Lions was SO's Don Doll, a defensive wizard.

Don intercepted three passes, two of which led up to Lion scores, and recovered a fumble. Two of the interceptions came at Powers' expense. Touchdown Albert couldn't get the 49ers moving on the slippery turf, but by the time Powers got into action the skies had cleared. The Lions were leading, 10 to 0, when Jim got going at the end of the third quarter. Start-Torn to Page 2, Column 3 Pro Grid Standings AMERICAN CONFERENCE Pet.

Francis 19; Kings, 6. Gridiron gleanings after another week of terrific upsets. After what happened to our Southland elevens last weekend, the only thing left to cheer about is Loyola's resounding 48-0 victory over St. Mary's You can't say the Bruins of UCLA lost luster in dropping that one to Washington, 21-20 But you must say that the Trojans dropped far down in class even though they finally gained a tie with the Washington State team that had looked so ineffectual. Maybe Loyola's the best of 'em all.

LONG WAY There was an upset in the making that could have scared the one Purdue scored over Notre Dame off the sports pages Or Maryland's triumph over Michigan State It seem3 quite apparent that Coach Jeff Cravath's Trojans have a long way to go if they are going to cope with California's rugged Golden Bears this week. Of course, our worst Southland setback came at Philadelphia where the Los Angeles Rams blew the duke again to the Eagles, 55-20 That one makes of Coach Joe Stydahar the poorest pigskin prognosti-cator of the week And none of us looked very impressive at this reading after all the upsets Jumbo Joe had said before the football writers here last Monday that his Rams would defeat the Eagles By the same token, Frank Leahy of Notre Dame goes to the top of the class as a football fortune teller The Irish mentor said, before the season opened, that "we simply don't have the folks this season" Certainly the Purdue Boilermakers make those remarks look awfully good today TROUBLE AHEAD The convincing fashion in which the Boilermakers not even considered a threat in the Big Ten title race took the Irish into camp indicates that Notre Dame loses its offensive touch the minute Bob Williams passing curbed Look for a couple of other teams to accomplish the same thing with the Irish before the season is out in this topsyturvy season where'anything can happen, and does, it might as easily be Navy or Iowa as Michigan State or Southern California. The sound trouncing that Maryland handed Michigan State only furthers the fact that anything can happen on any given Saturday in these days of specialized football Certainly that 20-to-20 score in the Washington State-Southern California tilt after the Bruins had massaged the Cougars, 42-0, pulled up, Is evidence. Of the top teams listed by most experts across the land before the season opened, only a handful now remain unde feated And we have just passed the first week of October Stanford, Texas, Oklahoma, Army, Cornell, and Southern Methodist remain unmolested And Oklahoma came within an eyelash of getting it from Texas Of our Pacific Coast teams, Stanford continues to play the role of a standout The Indians have hardly been properly tested, however, and may not be until they meet the Bruins here two weeks hence California continues to look powerful We'll know how powerful a little better this week end when the Bears hit the Trojans here. Washington, in beating the Bruins, after a fat victory over Minnesota, has lived up to its advance reputation as the dark-horse team of the conference But after Nebraska clipped Minnesota convincingly you can't look upon the Huskies over the Gophers as anything terrific Washington should have no real conference trouble until it hits Stanford late this month.

Speaking of dark-horse teams, Wisconsin is playing that role extremely well in the Big Ten The Illini, who will be entertained by the Bruins here Friday night, had the tough luck of being caught short by Wisconsin early in a game played on a quagmire Illinois showed lots of running power but couldn't throw against the Badgers in that downpour It has been said that the Illini are weak in the signal calling department and Saturday's game rather substantiated that MATCH ATTACK You can't count the Bruins out of the Coast Conference picture yet They matched Washington's running and passing attack touchdown for touchdown And if they'd had the necessary power at the goal line, could have beaten the Huskies the Illini don't come up wiih the aerial game against the Uclans here, the Bruins might bounce back into the win column Friday night. The surprise team in the national picture has to be Maryland Coach Jim Tatum's team has only two tough opponents remaining on the schedule Thy are Duke and North Carolina For our dough, the top coaching job of the week across the land falls into a three-way tie Tatum of-Maryland, Stu Hoi comb of Purdue and you guessed Forest Evashevski of Washington State If Forest's team could have saved what seemed like almost a certain victory over Troy in the fourth quarter after leading by three touchdowns, he could have won the honors all alone. P.S.: We say that after a week in which the favorites were mass-slaughtered. rrors Parenthetically, however, It must be said that if one swallow does not make a drunk, neither does one defeat prove too much about a football team these days. The Bruins, oddly, were not licked.

They licked themselves. In doing that they, of course, did not deserve to win the game with the Huskies. The latter did everything they could do at all times. The Bruins did only part of what they could do too often. One Yard to 60 Picture, if you will, a second down on the 1-yard line.

Three chances are available to make the teeny, weeny little three feet, one foot a crack. You know when you are to move, the defense does not. You have the advantage. Yet in three tries you make nothing, lose the ball and the ball game. That was what happened to the Bruins.

Three times they sent 214-pound Dave Williams into the line, and three times he failed. Certainly there was to be no hole; yes, the Washington line was doing a terrific job, diving low and grabbing everything in sight. No hole. No hole low, that was for sure. But if a 214-pound projectile takes a three-yard run and dives at the line, what can stop it? Tactical Error Williams did not dive.

He tried to power his way through. It was a mistake. He knows, too, that he has been taught to dive for that yard, whether it Is in the middle of the field or the goal line. Williams' fault was that of sin cere desire and eagerness. He Turn to Page 4, Column 2 STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE (Final Standings) Ok.

He compared them favorably with Army's ball packers, generally rated tops as a unit California's defense was "stronger than we had been told to expect," Hunger observed.
