Oreg on State in Bowl, May Select Fordham Lucky Huskies Defeat Trojans in 14-13 By ROBERT MYERS (Associated Press Sports Writer) "LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29. Washington and Southern California clashed in another of their bitter grid battles today and Huskies from the northwest, riding on luck, pulled out with a narrow 14-13 triumph. The struggling Washingtons fashioned two plays, each good for SO yards, to hold back a Trojan that dominated the contest and all but tied It up with a touchdown in the last seven seconds of the game.

The Huskies won the Tramples Violets Fordham Scores, 30-9 By SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Nov. up by hopes of a bowl bid, Ford-ham's football powerhouse turned loose its manpower in a second half spree today to trample the Violets of New York university 30 to 9 before a crowd of 31,009 In Yankee stadium. After throwing a major into the Rams in a second quarter drive that saw them score all their points, it was only a question of time until the Violets had to wilt under the continual pressure their old neighborhood enemies poured out.

So they wilted, slowly but surely, and Fordham chalked up its seventeenth win In the 22 games In which these uptown enemies have tangled since 1889. And with the victory, closing, out a season which saw them lose only one game on an all-major eight-tilt schedule, tho Rams are reported to have insured thmeselves of an engraved invitation to one of the Now Year's day shindigs, possibly the Sugar Bowl VANDY BLASTED BYTENNESSEE (Bv United Preso) KNOXVILLE, Nov. 29.

Sophomore Bud Hubbnll scored twice for Tennessee, while Sophomores Walter Slater and Bobby Cifors tallied one apiece.

The statistics showed that the favored Vanderbilt team, defeated only once before this year, could make only seven first downs to Tennessee's 15. Tennessee gained 173 yards rushing to Vanderbllt's 35, 149 yards by passes to Vandy's 100 and completed 13 passes to Vandy's 10. Boston Barely Wins From Holy Cross (By Associated Press) BOSTON, Nov. 29. Pinned hard against the wall for 68 minutes by Holy Cross' aroused Crusaders, the heavily favored Boston college Eagles pulled thnlr objoctive game out of the fire with a brilliantly executed touchdown pluy that gave them a 14-13 victory today before a packed crowd 10,000 at Fenway park.

touchdown place kicks plus a field goal attempt from the 12-yard stripe cost them a chance for a tie or a triumph today. A scanty crowd of 35,000 threatening clouds held it down-saw Washington's sophomore halfback ace, Bob Erickson, hurl a mighty pass for 50 yards and a touchdown to Left End Earl Younglove In the second quarter for the opening score of the engagement. Southern Cal's stalwarts, led by Bobby Robertson, took the second half kickoff and with a great burst of power marched 75 yards In nine crisp plays for a score, Robertson charging through the line for the final 14 yards.

had enough to make a ball game of it, but once Steve Filipowicz, the fullback with the fire hydrant build, and Jim Blunienstock, who's about as easy to stop as an army tank on the loose, began to lead the parade over the fading Violets, there was no stopping the Rams. Filipowicz scored two touchdowns and Blumenstock, who was awarded the Madow trophy as the game's outstanding performer, added two more. And just to let as many more as possible take a hand, the Fordhams gave a sub-halfback, Joe Osoki from Mt. Carmel, a chance to tally the other six-pointer. About the only thing the Ford-hRtns couldn't brag about this mild afternoon was the place-kicking of the usually reliable George Che-verko.

Up to today, he had clicked on 17 out of 19 extra point tries against Southern Methodist, North Carolina, West Virginia, Texas Christian, Purdue and California's St. Mary's. Today he had five chances and blew them all. NEBRASKA NIPS OKLAHOMA, 7-6 (By Associated Press) LINCOLN, Ncb Nov. 70-yard touchdown run by a substitute fullback and a tackle's accurate placckick gave Nebraska a 7 to 6 victory over Oklahoma today.

It also gave Nebraska a tie with Oklahoma for second place in the Big Six conference, each team having won three conference games and lost two. Fullback Wayne Blue picked up a Jack Jacobs pass out of the air on the dead run in the second period, angled out from mid-field to the sideline and raced the 70 yards with the Sooncrs making a desperate grab for him. Tackle Vic Schlcich sent the extra point kick through the middle of the uprights. Oklahoma, kicking off and never letting Nebraska get possession of tho ball in Sooner territory during the initial period, scored in the last seconds of the quarter. The Sooners started their touchdown march from the Nebraska 42.

That made it 7-6. From then on into the last quarter the ball game belonged to Coach Sam Barry's Trojans, even if the top score didn't. Twice they whipped within scoring range, only to miss out. Suddenly, after De Lauer had missed his field goal try from the 12, and again the Troys had been stopped by a pass interception by the Washington center, Harrison, the Huskies took possession, worked up to midfield and rangy Jack Stackpool, the great fullback for the northwesterners, worked a play that decided the outcome. He slipped off a tackle, and as the Trojans let him on through, he 1JS.

4am' wff w-ym, --y, jsv iJZJL Bobby Froude Stars in 14-6 Grid Victory By BILL BONI (Asooriiited Sports Writer) MUNICIPAL STADIUM, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29. The man-power which had sent Navy into action as a pronounced favorite over Army today paid off in the second half. Outcharged, outfought and out-scored by a scrapping, snapping Cadet eleven for the first two quarters, the Middies came back fresh at the start of the third period and never even let Army get its hands on the ball until they had driven to two touchdowns. That made the final score Navy 14, Army 8, for Navy's third straight triumph in this classic series and 17th in the 42 games that have been played.

ARMY TRIES HARD There was no stopping the Middies in that third quarter, and there was no getting by, through or over, them for the balance of the half. Army still was in there trying, but it made only one serious threat, a drive to first down on the Middie 17 that ended abruptly when Bill Busik Intercepted an Army pass two piays later. Busik, bowing out of this rivalry together with a whole raft of first and second classmen who will be graduated into tho fleet either next month or next June, made his farewell appearance a dazzling one. He ran and passed, but most particularly he ran. This 185- pound six footer from Pasadena, was just so many pounds and so many feet of twisting, squirming, fighting dynamite that either hit at the holes or made holes where none had been prepared.

PASSES TO FROUDE Army kicked off to open the second half, and Fullback Sherry Werner of Reading, Pa launched tho scoring march by taking the ball a yard back in the end zone and coming up to his 31-yard line. Then Busik went into action. It took Navy 15 plays to go the remaining 69 yards and Barnacle Bill either ran or passed for all but three of them, He handled the ball on all but three plays and accounted for the biggest single gain by passing to Captain Bob Froude of San Bernardino, for 27 yards. He threw in the most vital rushing gain, a 15 yard sprint around the Army left side that gave Navy first down on the Army 1. Busik, knocked out of bounds on that play, also had the wind knocked out of him.

Phil Hurt, 195 pound sub fullback from. Astoria, (Continued on Page 19, Column 1). galloped 50 yards down field for the winning score. Elmer Berg, the trusty place kicker for Jimmy Phelan, trotted in and booted his second conversion. The Trojans continued to try, however, and finally tallied in the last seven seconds when the Huskies, stalling for time, had to punt on fourth down from their 20.

Bob Snow was the punter and the Trojan line proved to be the blocker. They slammed into Snow, the ball bounced backward into the end zone and De Lauer recovered for a touchdown. De Lauer kicked this extra point, but it was too late the game ending in a few more seconds. Southern California, with Rob Navys SUNDAY, NOVEMBER Orange Bowl GEORGIA ACCEPTS BID (By United Press) MIAMI, Nov. 29.

The University of Georgia tonight accepted an invitation to represent the south in Miami's Orange Bowl football game played here on New Year's day, Bowl Chairman W. G. Ward announced to- night. Georgia's opponent will probably be named Monday, he said, but he declined to reveal what teams were being considered. Georgia, winner of eight games this season, lost only to Alabama, 14-28, and was tied by Mississippi, 14-14.

The Bulldogs won over Mercer, 81-0, South Carolina, 34-6, Columbia, 7-3. Auburn, 7-0, Florida, 19-3, Centre, 47-6, Dartmouth, 35-0, and today trimmed Georgia Tech in a traditional game, 21-0. Considered as possible opponents of Georgia in the post season game are Duquesne, Texas and Fordham, standout team of the east. It was indicated however the committee might have to wait to hear from bowl invitation results of other cities before an opponent could be named for the Bulldogs.

29. California's Golden Bears, rising to inspirational heights, wrote a stunning climax to an up and down football season today with a 16 to 0 upset victory over the defending conference cham pions, Stanford Indians. A crowd of 70,000 fans, braving threatening weather to watch the forty-eighth renewal of the West Coast's most colorful gridiron classic, saw the 1 to 3 short end Bears blast Stanford's flimsy Rose Bowl hopes with crushing defensive play, after moving into a first pe riod lead on a single touchdown run. California struck with lightning speed a minute after the game opened to score a touchdown, add the extra point and go into a lead that was never threatened there after. BLOCK TWO PUNTS Nine more tallies were posted in a thrilling last quarter, when the Bears poured through to block two Stanford punts.

One resulted in an automatic safety. The ball, bounced out of the end zone. The game had barely gotten un der way when the Bears, getting the ball on Stanford's 46-yard line, flashed to a touchdown. AI Derian, left half, raced that distance after a cutback inside right end. Joe Merlo, quarterback, booted the placement to make the count, 7-0.

In the fourth quarter, on the safety scoring play, Jean Witter, right guard, charged into Frank Albert before the left footed All-America quarterback of 1940 could get the ball out of reach. REINHARD GRABS IT With two minutes to go, Al Cole, substituting for Albert, was behind his own goal to kick. Glen Whalen, California quarterback, sliced through this time. The ball popped upon into the air and big Bob Rein hard, left tackle of the Bears and also an All-America holdover from last season, leaped into the air to clutch it for a touchdown. Merlo added the extra point again with a place-kick.

The Bears, battered into five defeats earlier in the season, were invincible today. There wasn't the question of a doubt as to which school had fielded the better team for the 1941 playing of a game started back in 1892. California played the kind of a game that two other teams used to beat the T-formation rushing the passer. Hero of the encounter was 220-pound Reinhard, playing his last conference game. His instructions wero to keep his eyes on Albert and he carried them out to the letter, STAR OF GAME Reinhard's feats overshadowed those of every one else on the field.

He was in on many of the tackles. In the third period he was in with two teammates on the blocking of one of Albert's punts. His ball hawking accounted for tho second touch down, late in the game. Among the multiple duties assigned to the big 21-year-old star from Montrose, California, was the punting assignment. He out-kicked Stanford's top ball hooter, Albert, practically all the way and some of his out-of-bounds shots were masterpieces.

On top of everything, Reinhard played every minute of the contest. The Stanford team that rolled to 11 straight wins last season for the conference title and the Rose Bowl championship last New Year's day entered tho game today in crippled condition and showed it. Little Pete Kmetovlc, ace lcfthalf, was slow and ineffective due to a groin injury suffered two weeks ago. Ho was in and out of the game several time but lacked the old spark, The T-formation deception was an open book to the Bears. They had the Stanford ground attack figured out and bore down on Albert so furiously the southpaw leader was smeared continually on attempted passes.

It was a somewhat dismal fade-out for tho great little field general of ihe Indians whose burdens were doubled this season through a weaker team and the later loss of his teammate star, Kmctovic. Albert, making his last bid for (Continued on Page 19, Column 3) Tech, 27-0 quarter. Less than four minutes after the second half opened, Jones raced again Into scoring territory from 18 yards out.

Jack Cof fey, graduate manager of athletics at Fordham university, said he was surprised tonight at the Portland Oregonian's story that his school had been chosen by Oregon State as its Rose Bowl football foe.

"That's funny," said Coffey, "we haven't had any negotiations with the Rose Bowl people at all." "Oh, thank you," were the words of Jim Crowley, coach of the Rams. Crowley said the entire West Coast development was news to him. Later Coffey said that negotia tions had been going on with a dif ferent bowl committee and that he hoped to have an announcement sometime tomorrow. EUGENE, Nov. 29.

A relentless 60-yard drive, concluding with a vicious 28-yard buck and run through center by Sub Fullback Joe Day netted the richest touchdown in Oregon State's his tory. As Stanford fell before California, 16 to 0, today's Oregon State victory gave the Beavers a clear title to the Rose Bowl, and getting the bid was expected to be a formality at Corvallis tonight where votes of Pacific Coast conference faculty representatives are tabulated. For a while in the fourth quarter it looked like the conference championship scramble might wind up in a four or five way tie as Oregon held a 7-6 lead.

Had Oregon held on it would have meant Oregon, Washington State and possibly Washington would be cut in for bowl consideration. But the Beavers came back for their winning touchdown and were on the Oregon five yard line seeking another as the game ended, whereupon the Beaver subs rushed to the field and carried off the battered and happy gridders on their shoulders. After a scoreless first half punctuated by several thrill-producing punts and runs, the Beavers struck for a touchdown in the first seven minutes. Halfback Bob Dcthman returned a punt 15 yards to the Oregon 38. Southpaw Halfback Don Durdan flipped an 11-yard pass to End George Zellick.

On the next play "Choc" Shelton, fullback, hit for two yards.

Although the happy Orange grid warriors, who defeated Oregon 12-7, remained reticient on the Pasadena subject, everyone else connected with Oregon State college was willing to speculate on an opponent and selections ranged from Missouri in the midwest and Fordham in the east to Texas in the south.

A persistently heavy south wind swerved Sub Halfback Warren Simas' high kick for the extra point and it sailed wide. Oregon went ahead, striking like lightning on the first play of the last quarter. Curt Mecham, who played a whale of a game at half-, back, ran to his left with his left cocked as if to pass.

Then he cut for the sidelines, outdistancing the Oregon State secondary by sweeping back to midfield, and went over -the goal line after a beautiful 53-yard run. Halfback Jimmy Newquist's kick was true and an upset was in the making before a capacity crowd of 20,500. But the Beavers took possession on their own 40 after a punt exchange.
