Stanford's Indians bagged a big one for themselves here this bright October day, Playing before a coast to coast audience estimated at 5,000,000, and a paying crowd of 28,000, Chuck Tay lor's red clad troops beat back favored Ohio State, 6-0, in college football's nationally televised game of the week. Stanford got the job done by parlaying a first period touch down to an inspired and almost flawless defense. The visiting Buckeyes, Big Ten champions of. 1954, and Rose Bowl victors over USC last New Year's Day, threatened often during the struggle, but the Indians repulsed them every time. Stanford's victory snapped an eleven game Ohio State Fumbles Mar Dull Contest By DON SELBY MEMORIAL STADIUM, BERKELEY, Oct.

1. Cali-fornia's Golden Bears, pack ing all their punch into the fourth quarter, huffed and puffed to a 277 triumph over University of PennsyU vania before a cozy crowd of 21,000 this sunny afternoon. Held to a 7-7 deadlock through the third quarter, the Bears got the hang of it late in the going and poured over three touchdowns against the fading Quakers to post their first victory of the 1955 season. Despite the one-sided aspect of the score and statistics, the game was anything but eneour aging to the backers of the Blue and Gold, for California's go ahead touchdown early in the fourth period was the only on that resulted from a real display of offense on the part of a Bear team that looked pretty miserable the better part of the afternoon. Twenty-four penalties, eleven of them against California, and eleven fumbles marked the ragged contest, which had as its high point a 28 yard touchdown run by the Bears' Ted Granger for one of the two quickie scores put over by Pappy Waldorf's struggling young men in the final chapter.

51 DRIVE. Coming only two plays after Cal has fashioned its lone drive of the afternoon, a 51 yard pay winning streak and provided a much needed boost for Pacific Coast football prestige. The outcome was an upset, but it didn't surprise Taylor. Despite the fact that the Indians had been beaten 100 by Oregon State in their last start, their buoyant red headed coach had predicted that his team would win today. Much of his confidence was based on a carefully planned defense which Taylor and his staff had designed to stop AH America i Howard "Hopalong" Cassady.

hailed by Woody Hayes, the Buckeye coach, as the "greatest clutch player' he has ever coached. The master plan worked. There were plenty of "clutch" situations for Hopalong this afternoon, but the Buckeye star seemed to be without his horse and he never came close to breaking away. Best of Ohio State's ball carriers was Don Vicic, a 214 pound junior fullback, who delivered some tremendous blows against the stout hearted Stanford line. Vicic pounded out 84 yards on 19 tries but even he ran second best to Stanford's own fullback, the hard working Bill Tarr.

Tarr Gets Yardage When Needed Tarr carried the mail 20 times for 302 yards. His ability to power through the big Ohio State line helped Stanford's cause immeasureably in the closing stages when time meant, everything and the Buckeyes their coach wringing his hands with anxiety were trying desperately to get that ball, But Tarr was not the only one who thwarted them.

Granger's determined great stops when they had to be made. Paul Camera, a junior halfback out of San Francisco's St. Ignatius High School, scored the game's one touchdown on a pass from Quarterback Jerry Gustafson.

He also played a mighty dash put the Bears in the driv-er's seat for fair at 20-7. Lik both California's and Pennsylvania's first half touchdowns, it was set up by a fumble recovery. The Bears' final counter was role in preserving his team's slender six point lead by coming through with the lone pass interception of the contest Camera got in his defensive blow at a time when it hurt the also of the unearned varietv.

Well. Cal did win and the fear of an all losing season has been dispelled. But the naz-ging suspicion must still persist in the shadow of the Campanile that the Bears won't win another.
