Amos Alon- zo Stagg's College of Pacific eleven knocked Fresno State from the ranks of unbeaten-untied football teams tonight by beating Jimmy Bradshaw's club, 18-13, in their Far Western conference game here.

The third period was scoreless, and Fresno, trying desperately to save its record, managed to score only once In the final period.

Dunne offered two seats on the 50-yard line of San Francisco's Kezar stadium to the fan who sends in the best 250-word letter describing the advantages of sitting behind the goal posts. "Everybody wants seats on the 50-yard line," said Dunne. "Our coach, "Buck" Shaw, claims the best place from which to watch a game is behind the goal posts.

Eight of the 10 major undefeated teams of the country will take their reputations into battle tomorrow, and if anyone wants a No. 1 candidate for Saturday's goat, it's the University of Cali fornia.

The Golden Bears from Berkeley, BRAVES' USUAL FORM MISSING INGRIDDEFEAT San Bernardino Team Rolls Up 17 First Downs to Three For Northern Outfit By BOB WALTON Playing as if grandma had hold of their shirttails, San Bernardino's Indians, the pride of the Eastern conference, dropped a drizzly 12-7 decision to San Mateo junior college on the San Bernardino gridiron last night. If they had paid off on first downs, the Indians would have won by a country mile. The count in this department was San Bernardino, 17; San Mateo, 3. But San Mateo, alert and on its toes every minute of the game, cashed in on a fumble and an intercepted pass in the second quarter to score two touchdowns and chalk up the second victory scored against the Indians this season.

SCORE ON PASSES And the manner In which San Mateo scored! Two passes; two touchdowns and the Indians had their own pet means of attack- slapped straight down their collective throats. In justice to San Mateo, It wasn't all poor playing on the part of the Braves that brought about their defeat. They presented a defense which, while it was sieve-like in midfield, stopped the Braves cold when it had to. Then the Bulldogs from out of the north had a kicker, Curti by name, who kicked 'em high and far. Most of his boots ranged around the 50-yard mark.

One went 65. And they continually kept the Indians in a hole. But In the final analysis it was the Indiana who beat the Indians. They simply didn't have it last night. MIDFIELD CHAMPS The first quarter saw San Bernardino get a break when a San Mateo kick went out on the 30-yard line.
