California's Golden Bears made hard, nerve wracking work out of.

what could have been a relatively easy chore here today, but, because they were equal to the burdens they imposed on themselves everything turned out all right. They won the game, 6 to 0, over their cousins, the Bruins of UCLA, before a whopper crowd of 80,266, and with the victory they ttatry ill Peak Ilait Ciaels Lose preserved at least a matncmatical chance of going to the Rose Bowl come January 1.

The alert, speedy Badgers, undefeated thus far In Big Nine play, didn't stop to look the gift horses in the mouth. They scored once in the first period after pouncing on a Northwestern fumble deep in Wildcat territory and then added a field goal by Lisle Blackbourn. The Wildcats fumbled twice in the second period and again Wisconsin capitalized on the breaks to score two more touchdowns.

The odds make is scored a direct hit today when Detroit University, favored by 13 points, spanked a luckless but plum picking, some one will have to beat USC. We wouldn't know whom that would be. Stanford isn't likely to do the job next week and after what we saw today we must doubt that UCLA is capable of it, either.

Still, there was deep satisfaction for California in its success of this afternoon. The Bruins had been 10-6 favorites to beat the Bears and a goodly portion of the vast throng turned'out in happy anticipation of a UCLA landslide. Missed Passes, Fumble Cut Down Scoring It didn't work out that way. California seized the initiative from the start and was the dominant force through most of the game. But for three dropped passes, each of which might have been good for a touchdown, and a first period fumble which stalled them three yards short of pay dirt, the Bears probably would have won spirited St.

As it was, they had to march 83 yards for their winning margin which was finally realized when Johny Graves took a lateral from Bob Celeri and scooted 2 yards around UCLA's unguarded right end.

Jim Collum's try for the seventh point was blocked by George Pastre, Bruin tackle. All of that took place in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, so you can see that the Bears were pretty like blocking, particularly in the of 'em, to be exact. ine Dreaks, nowever, were first half.
