Get a physical examination. If your heart's weak, stay home. There are two football situations in this town that are ripe for the upset business. UCLA's Bruins, with a little relaxing, could find themselves being pushed around this afternoon by an Oregon State team that hasn't pushed anyone but Montana to date.

And the San Francisco 49ers, who have beaten only Baltimore and Detroit this fine pro season, could rise up and put the blocks to our high scoring, fast rolling Los Angeles Rams. CHANCES SLIM The chances for either invading squad accomplishing these upsets are mighty slim unless our two local teams shirk their grid chores. If either does that, there can be plenty of trouble afoot for either the Bruins or Rams. Kip Taylor, the Beaver mentor, proved last year that he really can get a team rolling'ty midseason and that's where we are in this picture. His squad is largely inside up of juniors with 23 on the traveling roster and nine on the starting team.

The one senior is Arvid Niemi, captain and star tackle. The other non-junior member is Sam Baker, a sophomore. STAR TRANSFERS Coach Taylor's problem has been one of replacing a com 7 if I GORGEOUS GEORGE Loyola's' George Musacco plunges across Hardin- dfum thriller.

No. 35 of Loyola on ground is Cowboy player standing is Wayne Gumm, The Lions, who take great delight in cutting the tough ones close, blazed from behind with a last-quarter touchdown to edge the inspired Cowboys of Hardin- Simmons, 21-20, as a turnaway throng of 18,500 went off its rocker last night at Gilmore Stadium. It was Loyola's 11th straight victory sixth of the season and it left the Lions perched, somewhat, precariously, among the nation's elite unbeaten and untied. Klosterman Connects Once again victory came on two appendages belonging to Loyola's sensational, gambling quarterback, Don Klosterman, who tossed the winning t.d. pass and booted the three extra points that proved to be the decisive, margin.

Coach Warren Woodson's Cow-pokes played absolutely inspired football. Although they were outweighted 8 pounds per man, you'd never know it to watch them work. They gave the vaunted Lion front wall a push ing around no other team had been able to do this season. And Mr. John (Model T) Ford was just about as good as his ad vance publicity said he was.

The little Texan, who perfected his pitching eye by throwing thou sands of footballs through an old automobile tire, probably off a Ford, gained 167 yards by completing 6 of 15 passes, scored one touchdown himself, set up another and generally made a nuisance of himself as far as the Loyola homecoming alumni were concerned. Ford Topped As good as Ford was, however, Klosterman was even bet ter. The Comptpn cannon, who took more chances than a club-footed tightrope walker, missed only three passes all night in 14 attempts. His -needle-threading tosses pulled Loyola over the tough spots and his bullet pass to End Fred Snyder for the fourth-quarter touchdown proved the decider. Klosterman, throwing from the Cowboy 21, faked once and then burned it across for the six-pointer that tied it up, 20-20.

Then, more or less calmly, he booted the winning point. A weird bit of officiating spoiled another possible touchdown for the Lions early in the HOW THEY Upset-Minded Beavers Face Coliseum game. The heat on the field this afternoon will undoubtedly cut down their stamina and should give the Uclans a second-half edge. 7 The Bruins are in, their worst shape of the season, mentally and physically. The Beavers are at their best, missing only the injured Bill Sheffold, right halfback on offense- and their best safety man.

He will be replaced by. Ralph Carr. scatback from Oceanside on offense, and probably by Gene Taft, another Cali-fornian, when the Beavers are on defense. Big Dave Williams, Bruin fullback, is definitely sidelined for today's game. A muscle injury second quarter.

Coach Jordan Olivar sent in End Don Klinkhammer for what he thought was the extra-point at tempt, a circumstance that cost Loyola five yards and a probable score. The Lions fought back to the 2, but the inspired Cowpokes turned 'em back.

Musaeco Switched Olivar, his left-half situation weakened by injuries to Neil Ferris, Jack Dwyer and Bill English, pulled a fastie by shifting big George Musacco from fullback to the left-half spot. Musacco responded nobly, tearing off big chunks of yardage as he rolled up 158 yards in 23 carries an average of 6.9 yards per blast. The pattern for the wild and woolly encounter was set at the opening kickoff when Cowboy End Bill Cagle fielded Jack La-placette's kickoff on his 29, cut towards the middle and hustled 71 yards to score. Bill Goman's boot put the Cowpokes ahead, 7-0. And the game was just 12 seconds old.

An infuriated Lion eleven then put together a touchdown drive that took them 69 yards in 11 plays, scoring when Musacco bruised his way through a human wall from six yards out. who had gambled with a fourth and two on his 39 early in the drive, kicked Turn to Page 2, Column 3 GRIDIRON TV, RADIO SLATE UCLA vs. KFI, 1:45 p.m., KTTV (11), KFMB, 1:45 p.m. SC vs. Stanford, KHJ, 1:45 P-m.

Times photo by Larry Shsrkey Injuns Rate Slight Edge Over Trojans BY BRA VEX DYER Times Staff Representative PALO ALTO, Nov. 5 Traditional rivalry dating almost to jthe dark ages flares again here tomorrow as Stanford and Southern California collide in their annual hogskin hassle.

Latest odds make the Redmen favorites by anything from three to six points. Stanford backers are leery, Trojan followers none too confident. After all, it hasn't been a very happy season for either clan. Before the 9oQ season dawned, Trojans and Indians were no worse than cofavorites with California for the PCC championship. In most quarters it was Stanford first and SC second.

Count 'Em Out Now both are out of the Rose Bowl race Stanford with two defeats, SC with one loss and a tie. Only complete collapse of all major leaders could put either SC or Stanford back in contention Howsomever, It'll probably be a rugged game tomorrow. SC lost last year, 34-13. This marked the first time since he took the reins in 1942 that Jeff Cravath saw one of his teams beaten by more than one touchdown in PCC competition. Tomorrow each foe will strive for that opening touchdown.

Both have been sluggish off their marks. Stanford couldn't score in the first half against either UCLA or Washington. Pat and Paul Until last week's Oregon game, SC hadn't scored once in the first quarter and neyer had led any foe at the half. The Trojans think they found themselves offensively against Oregon. They did look better, bagging 30 points before Cravath cleared the bench and eased up.

But they still exhibited a rather porous defense, partially be-! cause two aces, Pat Cannamela and Paul McMurtry, were sidelined. Both can play but how much remains to be seen.

In addition to Sophomore Baker, a Corvallis boy, the Beavers have some junior college transfers like Ralph Carr from Oceanside; Gene Taft from Taft and Bob Cornelison from San Bernardino. The nature" of the Oregon State season indicates that Coach Taylor has made the discovery the Trojans and some others have this fall, which is that the jump from junior college circles to the Pacific Coast Conference is greater than many of us had supposed. The Oregon State folks are saying that they are, with so many juniors on the squad, now building for 1951. It is quite possible they might try-to start a little early with this move like, say, this afternoon. TOUGH HERE As for the 49ers from San Francisco it should be said that they always have been very tough down here against the Dons in other years.

Sure. We know, these are the Rams. But don't overlook: the fact that Frankie Albert seems to catch fire when he gets down here with the home folks. Aside from the time when he came down here as a sophomore playing the single wing for Tiny ThornhilL Albert's every; excursion southward has had the earmarks of being a crusade. Frankie turns on everything when he hits these parts; and he runs wild as he did against Nebraska in the Rose Bowl for Stanford and on every, occa-.

sion against the Dons since the war. ONE OF BEST Norman Van Brocklin, the Ramster who is burning up" the National Football League with his passing, says that Albert is probably the most adept of any quarterback in the league in making pass or run optional plays click. "A fellow like that is tough on the defense," said the Fly-, ing Dutchman, "because the rushers of the passer do not dare come in top fast. If they came in too straight and too fast Frankie runs by them." Van Brocklin also says that the man really gives the defensive opposition fits with his signal calling. Frankie always seems to spot a weakness or make one.

Elevens Clash on Dry Field BY'AL WOLF Times Staff Representative SEATTLE, Nov. 3 Bright sunshine and balmy breezes greeted the University of Cali fornia footballers as they flew in this afternoon for their momentous meeting with Washington's Huskies.

And with the prospects of fine passing weather tomorrow an expected storm seems to be veering away odds favoring Don (the arm) Heinrieh Co. soared from three to six points, with lots of action. It's a weird business, having the nation's sixth, ranking team an underdog to the 12th, but the northwest has gone completely whacky over this team of Howie Odell's. The greatest throng ever to witness a grid game in these parts 55,000 will be on hand tomorrow. Scalpers Get Fat As a consequence, ticket scalp ers are asking 25 bucks a pair in a sellout market, hotels have run out of spare cots and cabbies are harvesting a small fortune lugging people to liquor stores.

Followers of the Huskies, un shaken by the fact that Pappy Waldorf has finished on the losing end of a regular-season contest just once since taking over the Bear reins in 1947 (SC turned the trick that very year) can't conceive of the Berkeley juggernaut stopping both the passes of Heinrieh and the rushes of Hugh McElhenny on the same field on the same afternoon. Soggy Turf They do admit, though, that Washington's aerial game may be somewhat hampered by squishy underfooting for the re-reivers. A week of torrential downpours has left the stadium carpet in treacherous condition. Inasmuch as Cal has no passing or at least has uncovered little as yet the ''sloppy track" obviously is a California ally. The running of both clubs, of course, will be similarly affected.

The Huskies go intothe possible Rose Bowl decider almost in top condition.

The Beavers, are popularly tagged to lose by three touchdowns. UCLA will be happy to win by one.

From a Bruin viewpoint, the most fortunate factor influencing this afternoon's game is the weather. Oregon State enjoyed its first outdoor workout of the week yesterday afternoon in the Coliseum after planing in from Corvallis.
