Stanford's Indians ran the gamut of football performance today from sluggish ineptness to well oiled efficiency and busted the Santa Clara Broncos, 28-13, to get Coach Chuck Taylor's second season off with a winner.

Allowing for normal early season disorganization, the Bears were still surprisingly ragged, especially on defense, a department in which they were supposed to be "all set." Fact is. they gave up the game first touchdown to the doughty Tigers from Stockton, who stubbornly refused to be counted out of the running until real late in the afternoon. Not until the closing stages were the Bears able to establish a com fortable lead. As far along as the outset of the third quarter, Pacific trailed by only a single point, 1413. And even after the score had mounted hopelessly against them, the Tigers stuck to In fact, if the Indians had displayed a little more speed in their backfield or had promise of some coming up, vou could say they'd make it tough for any of them.
