Willi By Wiley Smith By PRESCOTT SULLIVAN A football coach has to be careful about acclaiming one lest he disturb that team unity; of his players above another, which he has labored so hard rappy Waldorf, like his subscribed to that policy. When there's praising to be done, the round and heavy gentleman who is coach of California's I WAS AN EfcEN TOUTS 7 vQJW 1 WwV unbeaten Golden Bears, contrives to spread it around so that no man will get too much and no deserving hand too little.

well" or that the victory gained was "a team effort. Something of that nature, with no player singled out for extra-special men tion. That being Waldorf's style, other night, when he said: "If that boy Isn't and All American then, mister, I've never seen one and I've been around a lot" His reference was, of course, to Jackie Jensen, who, that aft ernoon, bad lifted a California carried it to a 13-7 triumph over Waldorf's estimate of Jensen was unsolicited. We didnt worm it out of him. Old Pappy was just sitting there in the din ing car of the Lark, coming back from Los Angeles, when out it popped.

"Just about as fine a fullback as Ive ever seen," he said. "And don't I know how lucky we were to have him on oar side out there today," he added. There could be no argument on that score. Jensen was the difference between the two teams. He was great.

In the conversation which followed we gathered that, great as Jensen was against the Trojans, Waldorf might not have said so out loud had he not been sure his words would merit the ap proval of the team. He could praise Jensen because the other players would for it. There is none of the Fancy Dan about Cal's ace fullback. When he isn't carrying the ball, he's blocking so that someone else can carry it. There is no better "team player" on the squad.

And the other guys all know it. Jack Swancr, who combines with Jensen to give California what we believe to be the most potent one-two backfield punch since Army's Blanchard and Davis, is among Jackie's strongest boosters. The unsung linesmen, who sweat and slave so that Califor nia's attack can roll, put a little extra oomph into their charge when Jensen's signal is called because they know Oakland's bouncing blond will drain every last inch of ground out of their efforts. In return, Jensen all but knocks himself out making it easier for his fellow Bears. There isn't a trace of jealousy on Cal's squad and that, we may say, is unusual when the headlines are; going one way.

to day in the wildest game of the season here. Williams spelled just about all the diircrence there was between the two teams as he caught three touchdown passes to nullify the two scoring thrusts of his rivals. That Williams was the differ ence is proved by the statistics. The Broncs, weakened by the in ability of their star guard, Vern Sterling, to start because of in jury, and of Halfback Hal Hayncs to play more than a few min utes because of a hip pointer suf fered in the first quarter, were unable to throttle either the run ning or passing attack of the Hilltoppers. The Dons, aided by two first down penalties, out-downed the Broncs, 12-10.

Santa Clara collected 327 yards net from rushing and passing while Dons came up with 301 yards. COUP DE GRACE It was too close for Bronco comfort, with the Dons threaten ing throughout. The coup de grace wasn actually administered until Gene Defilipis inter cepted a Jim Ryan pass on the Don 30-yard line with less than a minute to play and ran the intervening distance to the goal line for the final score. The Broncos were a fumbling, stumbling outfit compared to their early season showings against Stanford and Loyola, but considerably improved on their inept showing against Southern Methodist a week ago. One of four costly Santa Clara fumbles enabled the Dons to put the pressure on their prune pick er rivals within five minutes after the contest had started.

The Broncs were sitting pretty on their 35-yard line. They had just made first down and they appeared to march when Vern Hare fumbled a shovel pass and Big oJe Westenkirchner pounced on the oval to set up the Dons on the Brons 36. KRSAK SCORES. It took the Dons just four plays from there. Bob Green-halgh sparked 'em by driving 35 yards around right end for first down on the 13.

Joe Mocha made four off left tackle, and Greenhalgh was held at center. But then Jim Ryan passed per fectly to John Krsak in the end zone and seven big points went up on the Don scoreboard as Panci- era kicked the point. The Broncs came back driving for 34 yards to the Don 42 after the kickoff, but that push one was stopped and it wasn't until late in the initial quarter that they Started the march which produced their first score. Little Al Martin started that drive when he ran back a Don kick 27 yards to his 37-yard line, Dowling rambled for 19, but then two plays failed and a 15-yard illegal use of the hands penalty set the Broncs back to the 32. Kignt nere tne tans were treated to their first sight of the Bill Sheridan to Williams passing combination.

Little Bill dropped far back and unleashed a long one into the deep right Eone. Williams raced over to grab the oval over the head of Mocha for a 30-yard gain, put ting the Broncs on the Don 36. BRONCS GO OVER. Dowling and Haynes failed to eain, Haynes being injured on the play as the quarter ended. But one the first play of the second quarter Sheridan again dropped back.

William again Evaded Mocha and caught a 26- yard throw on the 10-yard line, traveling 10 more to the goal for total scoring play of 36 yards. Chavez failed to kick the point. USF still led by a point, but not for long. On the first Don punt if ter the kickoff, the Broncos took over on their own 47. Little Marte Formico rambled right end for i yards and then Sheridan again tossed long into the deep right tone.

Again Williams was there, (atching the ball behind Mocha on the 5-yard line and going on over The play gained a total of 44 rards. This time Chavez' kick ft'as good and it was 13-7. The Dons punched back twice before the half, one assault trav eling 56 yards in 14 plays, but tnding on the Bronc 12 as three passes went awry. Later the Dons rent 20 yards to the 20 before the ja'f-time run stopped them.

marK. One way or another, Jensen has had a hand in the majority of 1 Cal's touchdowns but up to the USC fracas he had personally scored but three. That was because he did the blocking while Cal's halfbacks carried the ball on close-in scoring situations. Not until the USC affair was he permitted to start running Inside the enemy's 10-yard line. Cal changed that formula for the Trojans and Jensen scored twice once from the two yard stripe and again from the eight.

Bob Tessier, Cal's line coach, likes to talk about those two TDS. Says he: "They presented entirely different problems. On the first touchdown, Jensen had to be The situation called for the old dipsy-do and Jackie had it. "The second touchdown was just the reverse. He had eight yards to go, and when the hole at USC's left tackle failed to open Jensen had to lower the boom and power his way through.

"Herb Poddig and Gene Frassetto, who were in the right side of our line at the time, told me afterward that theyll never know how Jensen made it. "They said that when they finally opened the hole Jensen was already over the goal line." The 90,980 people who saw it will not soon forget that Jensen smash, nor will they quickly dismiss from mind that resounding block which Jensen threw at USC's Stan Cramer to spring Paul Keckley loose for a 56 yard punt return and the longest run of the day. Steaming In from nowhere, it seemed, Jensen all but plastered Cramer against the stadium wall as the latter sought to lay rough hands on Keckley. In the Coliseum press box more than one Los Angeles writer told me that had Jensen done nothing else all afternoon that devastating block would have caused them to vote for Jensen in the All-America poll. It was a beaut, all right.

And Oregon, of course, is an Honest John from way back. It seems to be the fact that Californiaexcepting Jackie Jensen who was terrific didn't play its top game against USC. Yet, Pappy Waldorf, who was back in Berkeley last night, was happier with the way things turned out than he was critical of the means by which the end was achieved. Waldorf had said all along that it was a toss-up and he was just about right. Had the Trojans not committed two damaging fum bles and suffered one of the most expensive penalties of the season, they might well have whipped thp Bears.

Twice the Trojans fumbled away chances on Cal's 13-yard line. Again, with an opportunity to take the lead at 7-6, they were slapped down by a penalty which nullified a 20-yard gain and took from them what would have been a first down within one yard of Cal's end zone. At that, the game didn't look as close to Cal's coaches as it did to we un's in the press box. Waldorf thought Cal had clearly proved itself the better team, and so did his assistants, Wes Fry and Bob Tessier. ONLY SEVEN PASSES.

Waldorf hinted that the Bears could have won by a larger score had they resorted to greater use of the forward pass. Cal threw only seven passes and completed four. Asked why the airways were thus neglected, Waldorf said: "The boys wanted to play the game on the ground and, since everything was going all right, we let 'em play it their way." Tessier explained: "They just wanted to 'bump heads' with USC. They got more of wallop out of those long, grinding touchdown marches than they would have got out of quick passes which produced the same results. "Driving that way for short, consistent gains, they felt that they had pushed the Trojans around." Fry, Waldorf's able backfield coach, added: "L'SC was wida open for (Continued on Page Col.
