The Bears went into the linemen Jim Turner, Rod Franz and Jon Baker on the disabled list Additionally, Jim Cullom, tackle, and Herb Poddig, guard, were slowed down by injuries soon Thus crippled, Cal's once powerful line offered the Bear ball carriers so little help that even All American Fullback Jackie Jensen failed to rise above the general level of mediocrity, except in widely separated spots. Jensen, a marked man throughout, gained only 32 yards in 15 plays for a new all time low average of 2.1 per carry. So dim was his star that at one stage of the game the UCLA rooting section set up a decisive chant, "Which one is Jensen. Which one Is Jensen. Which one is Jensen?" Jackie Answers With a Nifty Punt As it happened, Jensen answered the taunts by booming a 50 yard punt out of bounds on that gave them a 19-0 win.

Gradually the Bears piled up a lead which allayed all fear as to their ultimate success, but the laboring manner in which they went about it discouraged any conversation having to do with the Rose Bowl With only Washington State and Stanford remaining on their schedule, the Bears probably will qualify for the Pasadena classic on New Year's Day, but you just don't talk about such things when Army on Parade! MitchellHurtsKnee By Harry Borba YANKEE STADIUM, Nov. Stanford Bed Indians charged headlonr against the charge of the Black Knight brigades from West Point and were utterly routed, 43-0, before 65,000 gym-pathetic New Yorkers here this afternoon. Six touchdowns, five points after touchdowns and a safety was the sum total of the damage administered by twp corps of Black Knights and a host of reserves that Lt.

CoL Earl "Red" Blaik kept pouring into the pit. These Black Knights had terrific speed, quickness, agility, littleness and great strength of numbers. It might have been more of a contest for the sympathizers, who steadily booed Blaik as he changed his units for offense and defense, if the Indians had not lost Emery Mitchell, the heart of their attack and defense after eight minutes of play. CARRIED OFF FD2XD. Mitchell was carried off by assistant managers after he wrecked his knee trying to run out the kickoff that followed Army's first touchdown.

Emery got to the 17 yard line when he was piled up by the brisk Kay-dets. This proved to be a senseless effort, although no Stanford player could know if at the time. Army was offside and had to go back to its 35 yard line to kick off again. Meanwhile, Mitchell was gone and with him went all of the Indian attack except the old will to win. Doctors declared that Mitchell had suffered a dislocated knee.

They did not give any definite opinion when he would be able to play. It is doubtful if he will be able to play in the Big Game two weeks from today. Mitchell is hopeful. But he will not face Montana next Saturday, Mickey Titus was kicked in the head and. suffered a concussion.

He was quite sick after the contest. Completely outmanned and with their long passing, punting and pile-driving abilities tak-en from them, the Indians tried passes, sneaks and runs from fake punts and they harassed the Kaydets, particularly after they got th'eir half-time instructions. Aubrey Devine, the senior left hander, never quit trying to put the Indians across that far away last white stripe. NO AMMUNITION. Within Mitchell he didn't have the ammunition to shoot against the light cavalry with the black shirts.

Because they never quit trying as Bud Klein, Bill De Young and Marty Anderson tried manfully to supply Mitchell's punch, the Indians were able to outdown the Army's hordes, 12-11, but all other statistics bury the Reds. Devine engineered a 67-yard drive to the Army 5-yard line, after the Kaydets were ahead, 36-0, but the Indians just didn't have the punch to get over and they had to give up the ball. It was the old, old story. The Indians, thin at best and completely outmanned, as they have been in almost every game since they resumed football in 1946, just didn't have the wherewithal when Emery Mitchell was forced to the pits for repairs. ARMY PASSED TODAY.

Army, until today, was not a passing team. It was a darting, quick outfit that drilled for comfortable gains and smothered its foes with speed. Today Arnold Galiffa completed six out of twelve passes beautifully for 139 yards. His arm elicited praise from his coaches even over the great running of the halfbacks and Fullback Gtl Stephenson. Stephenson galloped twenty times for 99 yards.

Bobbie Jack Stuart rapped out 114 yards in twelve carries. Rudy Cosentino had 118 yards on six swift lopes through the startled Indians, and Harold Shultz, so-called fourth string left halfback, went 66 yards on five carries. They are hard hitting, swift backs. They got terrific down-field blocking from Phil Feir and Benny Davis, their fine tall tackles. But these Army backs could run when they had the mind.

Cosentino outran all of his in-terferers and he had hordes of them, for the game's final touch, down, a sprint of 77 yards, Devine had no chance to get near him. The Kavdets could do about anything they wanted to. That Is why Stanford suffered (Continued on Page 25, CoL 1) 23 3 1 Examiner Pholo by Leonard Bast. LionsLoscDcspitc 103-Yard Gallop HANOVER (N.

A crowd of 16,000, largest in this ancient college town's history, saw Kusserow take a kickoff three yards behind his goal line and run for a touchdown in the second period.

That was when See-Tee-See, with Ralph Neves doing the urg ing, attacked nearing the eighth pole.

But Longden had plenty of horse under him and the response that he got was sufficient to enable him to draw away. Neves did not abuse his horse (Continued on Page 26, Col. 6) score on the wings of its passing attack in the third period. At the end of the fratricidal struggle, there was small doubt in the mincfc of the banked thousands in Franklin Field that the better team had won. Rogel, the offensive star of the game, whirled off his left tai kle, i found a clear opening through the Penn secondary and whisked 44 yards for the first score in the second quarter, capping a State drive which ate up a total of 88 yards in eight plays.

He scored again in the fourth period. a team squeaks and groans at the joints as Cal did this afternoon. The Bears had been favored to win by twenty-eight points. They won by only fifteen, and but for a whopper pass interception by Will Lotter, defensive fullback, and a blocked kick, they would have had to settle for less. Lotter's Run High Spot of Game As it was, Cal scored a touchdown in each of the four quarters.

UCLA got its thirteen points in the final period, the last six being due in large measure to a pass interference penalty which gave the Bruins the ball on Cal's 1 yard line. Lotter's touchdown was the high spot of the afternoon, at least from a California point of view. It came late in the second quarter after UCLA's good quarterback, Ray Nagel, had passed the Bruins to a first down on Cal's 13 yard stripe. Attempting another pass, Nagel was rushed by Frank Van Deren, Cal's standout left end, and he had to throw the ball more in self-defense than with any hope of hitting a Bruin receiver. Lotter picked Nagel's desperation heave out of the air on the Bear 14 yard line.

Ducks Edge uskies, 13-7 SEATTLE, Nov. 6. (AP) It's true what they said about Norm Van Brocklin. Twice today the young man with the arm tossed touchdown strikes and Oregon needed them both to edge out a surprisingly stubborn Washington team, 13-7, and keep alive its hopes for a Pacific Coast conference football title. Entertaining the visiting Ducks with teeth-rattling tackles, Washington's Huskies played the Oregon gang on even terms through the first half and came back roaring with a 65-yard drive to tally after the invaders had taken a 13 0 load.

Van Brocklin connected with a 26-yard scoring flip to Dick Wil-kins the first time Oregon got hold of the ball in the second half. Oregon had kicked eff, regaining the ball "immediately when Washington fumbled on its first play and Bob Roberts recovered. Chet Daniels converted, Howling for its eager Huskies to match the counter, the crowd of 33,000 had to wait until Oregon was through for the day. In the final quarter Von Brocklin, with the ball on the Washington 19, hit Dan Garza with a bullet pass as Garza fell in the end zone. Far from whipped, the Huskies took the next kickoff to a touchdown in 16 plays.

Marshall Dallas, who had been a defensive standout at fullback, dived the last yard and Jim Rosenzweig converted. Washington learnod in the first half that Van Brocklin could punt as, well as pitch. Twice he kicked the ball out of bounds inside the Husky five and once he missed by an eyelash. Washington outdowned Oregon, 23 to 15, and connected on 11 passes out of 19, but Oregon had the total yardage edge, 314 to 248.

The gallant little group of visiting athletes gave their over-confident rivals all they could han dle during the first half as they three times penetrated deep into St. Mary's territory only to have their drives halted by a desperate Gaol defense. Coach "Little Joe" Verducci must have given those Gaels a verbal lashing at the intermission, for at the start of the second half they quickly took and never relinquished game command. It was apparent, however, that Verducci and his men were showing as little as possible to the Santa Clara scouts, Jack Roche and Herm Meister, who were in the press box gathering notes for use in next weekend's Little Big Game.

"I hope we got some rather mediocre football out of our systems today," he stated bluntly.

"We can't play that kind of football and go any place. "We won because of UCLA's mistakes, not because of any positive action on our part." At that point we interrupted Pappy with a direct question. "Is this team of yours on the skids?" we asked. "We'll soon find out," he fired back quickly. Then Pappy did some analyzing that tended to soften the disgust.
