"The first phase Is over," said the Pacific Coast's winnuigest gridiron tutor. "The second begins with Oregon State next Saturday at Berkeley. "With our young team, we had to get set, right or wrong, for Santa Clara, Oregon, Pennsylvania and USC. Now we've got to get set for the big drive. Starting Monday, we 'unjell' and start putting together the best we have uncovered in our four games to date." Before the season started, Pappy, who started with only four regulars from last year's Rose Bowl legions, thought the Bears would be fortunate to split even in their first four contests.

He never expected, he said, that Cal would take 'em all. LONG RANGE MEW. You'd think he'd relax a little now with thrice beaten Oregon State and St. Mary's coming up. But Pappy's taking the long range view.
