NOVEMBER 19, 1950 24 (Continued from Page One) By Bob Brachman MEMORIAL STADIUM, BERKELEY, Nov. 18. Their power almost hopelessly mired in the mud, California's hJVl Tjp v. -1r AW i- frf sMrr Golden Bears nevertheless splashed and splattered to a 13-7 triumph over a battling University of San Francisco eleven today.

Cadets and Indians churned the center portions of Stanford's once well turfed field into a mess of mud. Twenty point underdogs against a team the East holds to be well night invincible, Marchie Schwartz' boys struck an important blow for the dignity of Pacific coast football. The elements, however, left room for no chamber of commerce plugs for the excellence of California clime. This was the worst football weather seen hereabouts since the Santa Clara-St. Marys affair in 1935, and in the resulting shambles neither team could do much on offense besides kick and pray for breaks.

It was weather of the type the late Andy Smith had in mind when he spoke of "nothing to nothing weather" some thirty years ago. Nothing to nothing was what it was for nearly three full The smallest crowd in modern California gridiron history! 14,000 drenched fans who braved an unceasing downpour, saw tha Bears slush their way 35 yards early in the final period for' tha decisive touchdown which preserved (1) a winning streak that now, has gone nine games this season, (2) a regular season victory; string which now numbers thirty-three. quarters of the fray and nothing to nothing is what it would have It also sends the Bears into next Saturday's Big Game withi remaincr, forever, had not Coach Blaik's image fired that one telling pitch. Rain Obscures Army's True Worth Stanford, on this now well torn turf, undefeated for the third year: hand running. And, if the elements act up anything like they did todays during a game which ended in semidarkness with identification of players nigh onto impossible during the entire last half we'd Extended speculation on the amount of damage done Army's cause by the mud would be unfair to Stanford.

One, however, would not want to judge West Point off this game in which formal advise Cal supporters to go light before they start throwing around a lot of points on the outcome. football was all but impossible and just standing up was a feat, Undoubtedly the uncertain footing detracted from the power of Army's backs and upset the precision of the Army attack. But The Bears, with single exception of their piledriving sophomore fullback, Johnny Olszewski, acted no differently than any one else would have under. the conditions. the Indians were in the same hog wallow, and it must said that they they were slowed up, too.

Olszewski, who proved today he can lug a football under any, circumstances, battered his way for 69 of the Bears' 163 net rush The just thing is to assume the discomforts were equal and to reward Stanford's determined defense as having had most to do with the spiking of Army's big guns. The Indians, who have a game with California to play next week, really acquitted themselves ing yards in a contest that was understandably replete with miscues. It was futile to attempt more than an occasional pass, and California accomplished the victory with only one official effort, a mighty important 12-yarder from Quarterback Jimmy Marinos to Olszewsky, which preceded Jimmy Monachino's 7-yard jaunt around left end for the winning touchdown. nobly Statistics bear out the evenness of the battle. Army's first down total of eight was only one more than Stanford's.

On the ground, if such the quagmire can be called, the yardage was 166 for the Black Knights, 131 for the Indians barely enough of a margin to estab lish the superiority of Army's feared infantry. There was another, from Marinos to Bob Minahen, which failed to connect, but which was ruled complete when Eddie Brown was called for interference. The decision proved of no consequence, however, because the Boars fumbled the ball away shortly A A5 A i Z. Only in the air, to which the Cadets went for their victory, was Army's edge distinct. It wasn't a passing game, but youn? Blaik did complete three out of nine for 55 yards and, of course, the after USF dared only four passes, one of which backfired and led noon's lone TD.

Stanford threw four, completed one and wound up directly to California's second and decisive touchdown in the fourth period. with a minus two total Jt was on the defense that Stanford stood out.

Horn's punting with the soggy ball also distinguished Stanford's performance that just wasn't quite good enough to hold off undefeated and Stanford hopes drooped at the sight of him limping to the side- THERE'S A HORN ON THE PLAY! Dick Horn, Stanford defender, definitely drove in and stopped giant Al Pollard of the Army after the ex-Loyola (Los Angeles) back had made a short gain around the end in the first lines.

But the big fellow came back in the second half to jar the toughest of Army's backs with grunt-producing tackles. All Army.
