De-fore a crowd of about 20,000, and Pop Warner found out quite a lot about his Stanford boys, for they were up against a lot of thoroughly seasoned layers who had starred on many fields and he will now clear decks to get ready for the Oregon team Saturday.

It seems to be a Kenral impression that Oregon really amounts to something this year, so Stanford will, have to be good to beat The only score of the game was made late in the second period when Smalling threw a 'pass to Rothert, and that fleet young man went over the club's goal line.

(Ccntlnned on Page 9, Column 6) Flashy Backs Run Wild Over Weak Rival Line Saunders, Shaver Cut Loose With Long Gallops Mustek Looms as Real Star in Fullback Berth BY BRA VEX DYER Rolling up the second largest score in the history of the Coliseum, the Trojans of Southern Cal ifornia literally buried the Bruins of U.C. under an avalanche of touchdowns yesterday afternoon. More than 35.000 fans witnessed the slaughter of the bewil West wooders and went home wondering what the 76-to-O count might mean if any thing.

For approximately ten minutes the Bruins fought their foes on ven terms; in fact, during this time Bill Spaulding's boys had slightly the best of the argument. Just when everybody was about prepared to settle down and get an eyeful of a real, he-man battle. Russ Saunders busted loose in all his manly glory and raced 50 yards for the opening score of tho day. There were no more scores In tlvj first quarter, but the start cf tho next period brought the second tally and from then on It was a rout. TWELE TIMES The Trojans made twelve touchdowns and kicked but three tries for point, the fourth extra fiigit corning via a line buck.

Saunders, with three scores, led the parade, followed by Jiss Hiil, Gaius Shaver and Ernie pinckerc with two each. Jim Mustek, Rocky Kemp, and an ex-Spartan. Willing-ham, only promoted to the varsity two days ago, shoved over the remaining tallies. What the tremendous score augurs for the Trojans is probably a matter of conjecture by all who saw the game. There is no denying that Howard Jones's boys looked very, very good, but at the san1 time it must be taken into consideration that the Bruin line woefully weak.

The Bruins did not fold up, they were fighting allthe time, but they were so badly outclassed by the horde of Trojan gallopers that even the (Continued on Page 9, Column 2) cloth and ashes. This following the reason in which Oregon won not a single conference game. But the years passed on and Oregon, so the story from the Northwest goes, is about to become "Mighty Oregon" again. The old grads point to last season's record a season which saw Oregon bowing only to two of the strongest teams in the conference. Stanford, 26 to 12, and California, 13 to 0.

ALL VETERANS And then they point to the veteran starting line-up that returned to the university to greet Coach Mc-Ewan this fall and which' is counted on to restore "Mighty Oregon" to the map again. Next Saturday is the test it will either be "Mighty Oregon" again cr Just plain Oregon for another year. For next Saturday at Palo Alto the men from the Northwest meet the men of Warner la the only crucial conference battle of the week. If Oregon should perchanca win that struggle it will be "Mighty Oregon" with a vengeance. The arrangement of the conference schedule this year calU for Oregon to meet neither Calilomi.i nor Southern California.

The junior singles crown also will be decided today.

Johnny Van Ryn, former intercollegiate champion, and Johnny Doeg, the husky Stanford southpaw will battle for the singles laurels. Van Ryn and Allison, recognized as the world's best doubles team, will play Neal Brown and Bob Seller, clever San Francisco combination.

The most impressive ballet steps yet seen on a football field today netted Coach "Clipper" Smith of Santa Clara a touchdown, but it was not nearly sufficient to stem the tide of. on-' rushing California gridsters, so Coach Clarence (Nibs) Price and his polden Bears rested easily ou the laurels gained with a 26-to-6 victory.

The Messrs. Loin, Eisan and Rice were the principals in the show put on by Coach Price. Although he personally scored only one touchdown, Lorn was chiefly instrumental -in bringing the ball to within scoring range.

Lom was right there with the kicking, passing and running. After a pass, Lom to Eisan, for sixteen yards, put the ball on the 3-yard line in the first quarter, Gar-rity and Lom proceeded- to hit the Eronco line and the latter finally got over for the first score of the day. Another pass, Lom to Rice, for thirty-two yards, put the Bear3 in scoring position in the second quarter Rice spurted through right guard for eleven yards and a touchdown and looked quite neat while performing that little trick. Touchdown No. 3, in the same quarter, came as a result of another passing attack.

Rice passed twenty-eight yards to Brown, putting the ball on the 11-yard line. Eisan then called the same play and Rice sent the ball sailing to Thornton, who cauf-ht it on the goal line and stepped across.

(Exclusive) The powerful pigskin machine of the Loyola" College of Los Angeles walked roughshod over toe Fresno State Teachers' College eleven here today, assuming the offensive in the opening minutes of the game and running up a score of 20 to 0 over the pedagogues. The Lions registered their first score in the first three minutes of the game on a thirty-yard run and the extra point after touchdown was also rung up.

In the second quarter Loyola opened another driving offensive but failed to score on its own Initiative. Strutzle of Loyola Intercepted a pass of the Fresno team and ran twenty yards for a marker in the second period, the attempt at conversion failing. In the first half the ball was almost wholly in the Fresno side of the field, the Los Angeles team clicking six first downs to toe home team's one. In the third period Strutzle scored the final marker of the day on a line buck and then converted the extra digit. Fresno's only scoring threat of the game was then made and a scoreless fourth quarter closed the game.

The star3 for the losing grid team were Quails on defense and Tyack (Continued on Page 9, Column 8) two occasions. In the third quarter, against a squad comprised jargeiy of second stringers, the Santa Clara's worked the ball to the California 6-yard line, largely, through the efforts of Pettier, a speedy halfback.
