By Dob Bracliman RICE STADIUM, HOUSTON' Jan. 1. As they say In these parts, there's no use hldln behind the sagebrush.

St. Mary's Galloping Gaels from California took a good old fashioned skonking from the Georgia Tech Engineers today, 41 to 19, in the third renewal of the annual Oil Bowl classic before 22,000 freezing and rain-drenched spectators. Just by way of easing the pain, we might put down that the Gaels did their part in as wild a gridiron exhibition as Texas, which is accustomed to the unorthodox, has seen. In fact, Gonzalo Morales came Three Negro boys helped the Indians from Illinois In the housebreaking festival that left Southern California quite dazed and heartsick.

Hoisch Goes 103 Yards for Score Even Al Hoisch's sensational 103-yard return of the kickoff following the fourth Bruin touchdown, and with thirty seconds left to play in the first half, failed to lift the wilting Bruins, although they closed the half trailing only 25 to 14.

(AP) A couple of astonished coaches talked It over In the dressing rooms after the Illinois rout of the UCLA Bruins late today. "I thought we'd have a chance but I certainly didn't expect to win by such a margin," Ray Eliot, Illinois coach, managed to say. "It all depended on whether we were right for the game today. We were." The gloom hung thickly In the steamy L'CLA dressing room. Coach Bert La Brucherle of the Bruins shrugged and said quietly: "They were just too good for us, offensively and defensively, rd consider their backs and linemen rated about 50-50 In efficiency In beating us." La fijucherie added, "We could play 'em for ten years and still not beat them the way they were today." He said the Bruins had to press a lot wlfcn they got behind and the IllinI were quick to take advantage of their opportunities.

Eliot nodded In agreement when one of his supporters shouted: "Well, you boys sure Jammed all those newspaper stories about Illinois Inferiority dewn their throats."

After an exchange of kicks, Cal Rossi, Ernie Case and Al Hoisch went to work. They traveled 51 yards on ten plays, with Case scoring from a half yard out on a quarterback push. Case kicked the point and the Ukes went ahead, 7 to 6. You could tell the IllinI meant to get scores quick.
