LIGHT LINE. The Bronc line is light. But it is not without charge, as proved in its victory over Stanford. Defensively, the Broncs seem a trifle stronger.

Van Brocklin Paces Oregon to 21-6, Win Cards Play 'Em Even in Second Half, Score on Bell to Erickson Air Thrust By Harry Borba STANFORD STADIUM', Nov.

1.1 Stanford's Red Indians bit the dust again today, 21 to 6, before a well sprinkled crowd of 12,000 persons, but not until after they had thrown a man-sized scare Into the Oregon Webfoots during a completely crazy second half. Mart-hie Schwartz's young men, suffering their eighth loss and their sixth in conference combat, were the picture of futility in tha first half. "Stop Leicht" program faltered miserably and Oregon tallied twice, both times on passes by Norman Van Brocklin. It was different in the second half, when the Indians gambled audaciously. They got their passing game going with Ainslie Bell and Don Campbell flipping.

They were held for downs once, finally got a score on a miracle catch by Wayne Erickson and were battling tooth and nail at the finish. Californians, socking education among the Oregon trout streams, were principally the undoing of the Indians. Jake Leicht, the Stockton boy and Fourth Air Force flash, scored the first touchdown, taking a 14-yard pitch from Co-Captain Norman Van Brocklin and stepping 2 more. Van Brocklin hails from Acalancs High at Lafayette. The tally was made with 5 seconds left to play in the first quarter.

Larry Stoeven. San Mateo JC end, scored the second touchdown, catching a Van Bivcklin pass for 17 yards and striding 3 more. Leicht kicked this jvoint, too. The second touchdown was made just one minute before the end of the second period, a coincidence of time. The Oregon touch was finally injected in the fourth quarter when Bob Sanders, of North Bend, found a gaping hole at left guard and ran 13 yards to score standing up.

Again Leicht kicked the point. Erickson Scores On Miracle Catch Sanders' Oregonian touch came after Wayne "Sabu" Erickson made a miraculous catch of Ainslie Bell's 26-yard throw right on the goal line. Little Sabu took the ball away from Jimmy Newquist by quickness. Dan Mervin's placement sailed wide and low and the Indians were trailing only 614 when Sanders rambled. Then there was another Californian, Co-Captain George Bell, of Berkeley.

Like Van Brocklin, Bell is from Acalanes High. Bell didn't figure in the scoring but, my, how he whapped those poor Indians, particularly in the first half. George merely romped for 101 of Oregon's 239 yards for a robust 7.7 average that outdid Leicht. Stanford tacticians found out after one half, during which the Indians were thoroughly belted by a fast charging Oregon line, that the seven-man line and diamond defense that fouled up the Obviously, Pappy Waldorf, the Bear coach, would have been content with a smaller score. Midway in the third quarter, he turned the uneven struggle over to the Ramblers in an effort to apply the brakes.

But the situation was beyond old Pappy's control. Seldom-seen Bear backs Rube Navarro, Pat Martin and Bill Montagne, among i hem actually outran the Bear regulars so that the score went lip and up until it reached near record size. Press box historians had to thumb through the archives clear hack to 1928 to find its equal. In that year, California beat Nevada, 60 13. Today, the Bears, despite Waldorf's concern for the poor Grizzlies, would have topped that whopper score of nineteen years ago had not one of their prettiest plays a 66-yard romp to pay dirt by Bob Dal Porto been called back on a penalty.

Montana Rose Bowl Bubble Bursts! The defeat, incidentally, was the first of the conference season for Montana. Although they had been larupped three times outside the conference, the Grizzlies had beaten both Washington State and Idaho within it and until this gray and dismal afternoon they had some hope of sharing in the conference title. A few fun lovers were even shouting "Montana for the Rose Bowl." They were joking, of course, but the fact is that the Grizzlies would have had a perfect conference record had they by some niracle beaten Cal. Thus, it is not stretching poetic license more than a mile or two to say that the Montana Rose Bowl bubble burst today. Too bad.

This wasn't Montana's year, after all. Yet, Montana did salvage something out of the wreck. Doug Fessenden, the Grizzly coach, had promised his boys would score. They did better than that scoring twice on passes thrown by Pierre Roberts, their quarterback, and caught by Ray Malcolm find Arnold Scott, in the order named. On the first play of the second quarter, Roberts threw a flat A.

They hit on quick openers with Bell and raced the ends with the speed of Leicht (to coin a phrase). a phrase). CAL CAN TACKLE, TOO!

The Indians had their first chance when Don Campbell, a surprisingly stout defensive back today, hauled in Van Brocklin's first pass of the game and romped 36 yards to the Oregon 44. Kendall Peck, another surprise party toting a bandaged leg, circled right end for 16 to the Oregon 28. Garza and Bell rose up there to take the ball away from Stanford.

Montagne alone would have kept him pretty busy. The Piedmont youngster scored three touchdowns for Cal.

(AP) Michigan's magical Wolverines clinched the Big Nine title and a Rose Bowl trip today with a crushing 40-6 triumph over a stunned Wisconsin eleven in a sleet-swept battle before a capacity crowd of 47,000 at Camp Randall Stadium. The Wolverines, who tossed all of their intricate attack against Wisconsin despite a soggy field and a miniature blizzard, scored two touchdowns against the outclassed Badgers in the opening period and then coasted to an easy victory. The triumph almost assured Coach Fritz Crisler of his first perfect season in ten years with only Ohio State remaining to face in the regular schedule. Michigan's razzle-dazzle attack simply bowled over the surprising Badgers, who now are des tincd to finish a runner-up to Michigan in the conference race even if they subdue Minnesota in their season finale next Saturday. Michigan scored in every period on a soggy field, adding one touchdowji each in the second and third quarters and two in the final stanza.

(AP) The dogged, mud-splashed Northwestern Wildcats, humiliated by five defeats in seven earlier starts, almost made a myth of Notre Dame's football invincibility today, but the desperate Fighting Irish shook off the surprise for a 26-19 victory, their seventh in a row. Playing on a soggy field in a drizzle, the Wildcats marched 81 yards for one touchdown, turned a pass interception into another, and then sent a sellout throng of 48,000 to their feet in the last quarter when third string Pewce Day filched Frank Tripucka's aerial and pranced 18 yards for a third marker.

15. (INS) A relentless Illinois football machine battered through the mud to a 28-7 victory over Ohio State today, ending an 18 year old Ohio Stadium jinx. The triumph was the first for the Illini on Buckeye soil since 1929, and it ruined Ohio State's homecoming for 70,036 spectators who braved cold, damp skies. The Illini carried far too many guns for the battered Bucks, both in the air and on the ground. The aerial sharpshoot-ing of Perry Moss and Tom Gallagher contributed to three touchdowns and Paul Patterson, sub halfback, ran 32 yards for the fourth score.

Waldorf assumed a more cautious attitude. We tried to get him to admit Cal ought to wallop the tar out of the Indians. He wouldn't do it.

We sought to get him to predict a Cal victory, even by one point. Again he refused. We finally put it to him this way: "Will you concede you have a better team than Stanford's?"
