Sept 23 Stanford's Indians, tha people's choice to dictate terms In the Pacific Coast Conference, were Matson on Spree By Prescott Sullivan MEMORIAL STADIUM (Berkeley), Sept. 23. A sur-prisingly well coordinated Santa Clara football team, striking with pass patterns borrowed from the Cleveland Browns, subjected the Golden Bears of the University of California to many an uneasy moment before bowing to the weight of superior numbers here today, 27-9.

as far away from that lofty perch today as Palo Alto is from Pasadena. They survived their Inaugural test with San Jose State okch, 33-16, but so much was left to be desired that even the most aopho morlc of Stanford followers among the 20,000 In attendance left the In 23-14 Win stadium dragging their pom-poms In disappointment. By BUI Mulligan KEZAR STADIUM, Sept. hanks to the ball lugging of Ollie Matson and Little Joe Scu-dero and the great defensive play of Burl Toler, University of San Francisco opened Its tough eleven They went away from the stadium chorusing, "It's a good thing we had McColl," and we'd have to say that covered the situation In a nutshell. Without Bill McColl.

the giant flankman who is being boomed for All-America honors, Stanford probably would have had its hands full. As it was, the Indians were outplayed and outscored, 16-6, in the second half. But in the first part the 6-4, 225 pound McColl alone accounted for 136 yards, one touchdown directly and played a vital part in the other three which gave the Indians a 27-0 intermission cushion. McColl, too, was the key figure in Stanford's insurance touchdown in the final period with a sensational, leaping one-handed catch of a fourth down pass, good for 19 yards to the Spartan 5, from where Boyd Benson romped across. game schedule tonight with a 23-14 triumph over the Golden Hurri cane of Tulsa U.

The game drew thrilled customers. 4 5f k4, 1 V-. fa Matson, one of the coast chief nominees for All America honors, started his campaign for recognition on the correct note as he tore California had hoped to use the season's opener as a means of testing its new hands, but the experimental strategy quickly broke' under the urgency of winning the game. Santa Clara scored a' first quarter touchdown and piled a two point safety on top of it with the opening play of the second period. Trailing 9-0, the Bears canceled earlier plans and knuckled down to the business of saving their hides.

Eventually, it turned out a3 had been expected. California's man power began to tell more and more as the scrappy Broncos wearied In the heat of a cloudless afternoon. Once they had gained control, the Bears came on with wave after wave of fresh troops1 and finally Pappy Waldorf was able to get a look at forty-eight of his lads. But until late in the day the portly Waldorf had reason to be a worried man. Making their debut under a new coach, Dick Gallagher, former aide to Paul Brown, of the Cleveland pros, the Broncs were amazingly, smooth and effective in their first outing.

Even after they should have been "out of gas," they continued to harass the Bears with sudden returns to their opening quarter strength. In the closing minutes of play they got to Cal's 2-yard line in a comeback which, while it failed to alter the score, went to prove that they hadn't run out of fight Crowd Sympathizes With Broncs The crowd of 46,000 couldn't help being sympathetic with Santa Clara's cause. Somewhere, Gallagher found twenty-six men to throw Into the fracas but mostly he had to depend on a few notably Quarterback Johnny Pasco, Fullback Saxon Wraith, Halfbacks Bernie Vogel and Del Rasmussen, Ends Gern Nagler and Dick Wiborn and Jim Cozad, Ed Rotticci and John Justice in the heart of the line. Kerkorlan Throws With Accuracy All told, McColl accounted for 154 yards on eight aerials, seven of them fired by Gary Kerkorlan. up the turf with his booming runs and thundering line charges.

He was equally terrific on de fense with tackles that shook even the spectators sitting safely in the stands, and his blocking for teammates jarred the day lights out of charging Hurricanes. 15 POINTS FOR OLLIE. Ollie carried the ball fourteen times for a gain of 82 yards and, plus this, took a pass from Gene Sweeters for a 63 yard touch But even McColl's performance couldn't cover up what Coach, Marchie Schwartz has been 6aying all along about Stanford the "long bench" is nonexistent, at least, It wasn't present today. Marchie had plenty of chance to find out after the Indians had rolled to their 27-0 lead and his worst fears were realized. Perhaps we are minimizing the talents of the Spartans, particularly the sharpshooting of Quarterback Gene Menges, who himself had quite a day with fifteen out of twenty-eight for 250 yards.

But, looking at it solely from a Stanford standpoint, the drop, once Marchie reached beyond his first fifteen men, was like something you experience when an elevator cable snaps. Natural Letdown or What? It could be that a lot of it was due to a natural letdown, which set in after the Indians had rolled up their four TD advantage. Whatever the reason, they fell into slovenly ways and seemingly; were offside or in motion every other play during the second half. Their timing was way off and presumably Schwartz will hammer away at that particular phase this week during preparations for USFs Dons, whom they meet here next Saturday. They weren't that way at the start.

Not too long after the opening kickoff and after half a dozen running plays had proved (Continued on Page 24, Col. 3) down gallop for the first USF touchdown, Matson accounted for the second Don TD on a 20 yard run and made three conversion up with a tremendous all around performance, although twice jjf forced from th with inluries.

Mondays III 9 p.m. YUktR 2-1111 finishing touch to a vast labor, Formico sprinted after and hauled down Cal's Tom Keough after the latter had caught a long pass from Jim Marinos. It was the last play of the game and it locked like another touchdown for the Bears until Formico cracked Keough to the greensward on the Santa Clara 40-yard line. Despite the unexpected difficulty the Bears had in establishing their victory, the opener wasn't discouraging from the California point of view.

Plainly, California has the "horses" but as yet they are a long way from being a cohesive team. Waldorf has much work to do. But by mid season the fat man may well have another powerhouse in his charge. You're open to arrest in Berkeley if you talk about the Rose Bowl just yet. Still, behind the rough edges, the potential is there.

Brent Ogden, succeeded later by Dick Lee and Marinos, did most' of the quarterbacking for Cal. Ogden's passing was not too reliable, but after Santa Clara's resistance had been weakened a little the Bears moved on the ground.
