Stanford's Red Indians made good today a frayed promise that had worn MEMORIAL STADIUM, BERKELEY, Oct. 16. California Golden Bears took another stride along the Rose Bowl trail as they trampled Oregon State Beavers under a 42-0 score before a gathering of 55,000 here this bright Indian dangerously thin after a year and a half of gridironing with only a single victory. Marchle Schwartz's men finally put their all altogether, summer afternoon.

as they had promised they would when this season opened, and their all put altogether was too much for the favored Bruins of UCLA. Launching their Pacific Coast Conference campaign with an awesome show of power after four successive nonleague victories, Pappy Waldorf's unbeaten, untied warriors actually had to apply the brakes to keep from outdistancing, by an even greater margin, an opponent that was supposed to offer them the stiffest Stanford won a complete 34-14 victory, their first conference win In fourteen starts since they beat California in Berkeley to close th 1946 season. Down below, the hungry Red students still are chanting, shout ing and rousting their rivals from Westwood Way, who have to stand politely and take it like the Stanfords have taken it twelva times in the last season and a half. Between their singing of "One Case of Beer For the Four of Us," the Indians whisper to one another, "What about that Bob White? What about him, huh!" Then somebody else says what about Captain Bob Rohrer, who singlehandedly threw the Bruins back on their haunches when it it r) ft fy rav? ftp iv -tr fight they have yet faced this year. The Beavers were big and for a while they were troublesome.

But the Bears took charge after some thirteen minutes of play and, after that, touchdown followed touchdown until at length the white-clad lads from Corvallis were on the receiving end of the most onesided plastering in the history of the California-Oregon State series. The Bears scored six times and, after each TD, Jim Cullom. the chesty guard who is Cal's "toe," caloly kicked the extra point. How much more of a walkaway Cal could have made it had Waldorf not been charitably disposed toward a stricken foe is, of course, a matter of surmise, but Lon Stiner, Oregon State coach, must have been grateful to the Bears for sparing his sadly outclassed troops the full treatment. Turning the field over to his third and fourth stringers early in the second half, Waldorf threw forty-eight men into the uneven struggle and limited Jackie Jensen to what amounted to little more than a token appearance, although it was apparent to one and all that Cal's great fullback was at his red-hottest All told, we should guess Jensen didn't play more than fifteen minutes of the game.

He carried the ball but seven times and threw it but twice. The results he obtained in that brief tour of duty were sufficient, however, to convince every one present that here, indeed, is an all-America back if this coast has ever produced one. Swaner Romps for 106 Yards On his seven tries as a ball carrier, Jensen whirled forward 96 yards for an average of 13.7. As a passer, he enjoyed a perfect day, completing both pitches for 73 yards. One of his heaves went 44 yards to a TD.

The other spanned 29 yards and set up a score. Jensen's performance left the Cal side of the stadium crying for more. But Waldorf, moved both by a kindly consideration for OSC and a thought for the future, kept him out all but a few minutes of the second half on the bench after Jackie had played but a fraction of the first two quarters. As it turned out, Jack Swaner, the other half of Cal's one-two punch, was the day's top ground gainer. Although he had to hobble off the field the first quarter on a bad ankle, the burly blond returned to score twice for the Bears as he rolled up a personal total of 106 yards from scrimmage on twelve tries.

His average was 8.8. Staten Webster, his understudy, who got into the contest after the the Indians had only a one touchdown margin in the second quarter. Then others mention Gordon White, Atherton Phleger, Don Campbell, Al Laakso, Emery Mitchell, Gene Martin, Al Rau and Al Turriziani. Somebody says that maybe that Aubrey Devine isn't something as a field general. Finally the joy crazed Indians agree that maybe it was a great team victory.

Bob White Averages 12.3 Per Haul And they all say that Marchmont Schwartz is a good coach like they always knew he was. And they boast rather loudly, "Well whip the Trojans! and Washington! and Army! and CalU fornla!" That's how goofy you can get when the only team you hav beaten until today is San Jose State and it by a stirring fourth-quarter finish that makes nobody particularly happy. Not as happy as these Indians are today. They don't need any Kickapoo joy juice for exhilaration. Bob White alone exhilarated the crowd of 40,341 with threa sensational touchdown gallops of 11, 10 and 41 yards.

The kid, who comes from Glendale, the city that gave Frankie Albert to Stanford, was sensational as he slashed off 123 yards on 10 carries for an average of 12.3 per haul. Al Turriziani got into the picture with eight carries for 50 yard3 and an average of 6.33 and Coach Marchie Schwartz had perhaps discovered his best backfield in Bob White, Turriziani, Emery Mitchell and Aubrey Devine. That was the most damaging quartet Stanford did the amazing thing by scoring in the first period for the first time this season. Then the Indians were forced against the wall by a clawing Bruin and three times they took rs-f Aizz issue was well decided, gained 75 yards on seven carries for a 10.7 the ball away from him before they let him have a touchdown that tied the count at 7-7 at half-time.

As you will observe from those figures, Oregon State's two-handed passing attack, of which Waldorf had been so afraid, proved no more effective than a 40-cent cap pistol. Old Pappy will have to base his fears on something more BEARS' "BOOM-BOOM Jackie Jensen (36), California's AII-American fullback, lets out a war hoop as he plays traffic director for Jack Swaner (arrow to ball) for California's third touchdown against Oregon State at Berkeley yesterday.
