When they agree on the merits of a stoiy, that's fantastic.

UCLA tackle John Pentecost UCLA Throws Switch on Bowl Hopefuls 30,390 See Huge Upset; Nelson Tallies Twice LOS ANGELES (AP) UCLA threw the switch on the Rose Bowl bound Washington football team yesterday, dealing the Huskies a 14-0 defeat in one of the biggest upsets in the nation this year. The Bruins of UCLA, who had won only one game and had lost seven, traveled 88 yards In the second quarter to score their first touchdown, and put together another drive of 76 yards in the third for another. UCLA was two-touchdown underdog going into the Big Six Conference game before 30,390 under sunny skies in Memorial Coliseum. Washington still has the Inside track for the Rose Bowl assignment but must defeat Washington State in their traditional struggle at Seattle next Saturday. This was the first conference defeat for the Huskies and the second conference victory for UCLA.

Officially, the conference will not vote on its Rose Bowl representative until after the final games this week. Halfback Byron Nelson scored both touchdowns, the first an eight-yard toss by quarterback Steve Sindell, the second from Larry Zeno for four yards. To the utter astonishment of most fans, the Bruin team completely throttled the running and passing prowess of the Huskies' Bill Douglas. and the feared running of their powerful fullback, Junior Coffey. Washington crossed the mid-field stripe but twice in the first half and then only to the UCLA 43 and 35.

The aroused Washington team, aided by a couple of UCLA fumbles, got down to the UCLA 13, and then again to the Bruin four. But each time the hard-hitting Bruins jarred the ball loose and recovered each fumble. Sindell, the Bruins' third-string quarterback playing his first varsity football he had only 21 minutes of playing behind him guided the first UCLA scoring series. It required 14 plays in which Sindell, noted more for his passing, connected for gains of 20 and five to Nel-. son and 10 to Mel Profit.

Jim Colletto gained 41 yards in three runs in the drive. The try for the extra point failed. Zeno, a better run-pass option ship in 1956. Signing with the Yankees after graduation, Hal spent 4Ms years in the minors before making the grade in the majors. "The Yankee stars treated me as one of the gang when I first reported," said Reniff.

"I felt right at home." Concerning long time Yankee star Yogi Berra who was recently appointed manager of the Bronx Bombers, Reniff replied, "Yogi should make a fine manager because he knows the players as individuals and he also knows their weaknesses and strengths. This is important for every manager to know. He can treat them the way they want and expect to be treated." Reniff added that he felt that Elston Howard, the American League's Most Valuable Player, was also the MVP on -D-1 (SECTION D) Sunday, Nov. 17. 1963 Protecl No.

1 Rating 4 i j4i iSvv Texas Whips TCU: 17 to 0 The 18 sports entries in the Chaffey High' Golden Anniver-1 sary Writing Contest were judged without any names attached. So there was no favoritism. Two slick-writing juniors from San Bernardino High, Brad Lusk and John Morth-land, finished 1-2. Their stories deserve to be printed, they were so good. Here they are, slightly condensed: By BRAD LUSK Hal Reniff, former Chaffey High pitching star, visited his alma mater last Wednesday and like millions of others have, tried to give a clear-cut reason why the Yankees lost the World Series.

And like millions of others he found it extremely difficult. "I would say that pitching, overall, led to the Yankees' downfall in the Series, although the Dodgers' hitting was just as deadly," said the 25-year-old Yankee righthander. "Appearing in the World Series against the Dodgers for the first time was another real thrill. That was also the first time all season that the Yanks had lost four in a row." Appearing in an informal, press conference, Reniff answered questions ranging from the most valuable player on the Yankees to if he believes that saves should be counted in a pitcher's record. Reniff's Antics Ken Proctor, Reniff's baseball coach at Chaffey, commented on the New Yorkers' No.

1 reliever. Proctor recalled an incident that would have brought many memories to fans of Dizzy Dean when he reminisced about some of Hal's antics while pitching in high school. "One afternoon at San Bernardino, Hal purposely walked a batter to get a chance to pitch to the Cardinals' Jim Turner, a feared hitter. This loaded the bases and put San Bernardino within striking range of us. Hal calmly struck him out while I nearly went crazy.

This just goes to prove that Hal was willing to take a challenge and pit himself, the best pitcher in the league at that time, against one of the league's top hitters." Reniff, a blond-haired six-footer, chuckled a bit when he recalled that once in high school he had tried to become a catcher after having been a pitcher since Little League. "That experiment failed pretty miserably," the chunky 200-pounder said. Blanked Dodgers AUSTIN, Tex.

"Ellie's numerous duties were overlooked so often this season that I was really pleased that he won." Proctor mentioned that Hal was also an outstanding hitter for the Tigers, and wis remark brought a smile to the guest of honor's face. "It's too bad I could hit then, because I haven't got one yet while in the majors." Series Repeaters? And here's another prize-winning version of the same interview: By JOHN MORTHLAND "You can look for the Yankees to be in the World Series next year. I won't be able to say who our opponent is, but we don't worry about the others." Speaking was Hal Reniff, star relief pitcher for the New York Yankees, as he addressed a group of high school journalists in a recent press conference at Chaffey High, Reniff's alma mater. Reniff credits the Los Angeles Dodgers' stunning four-game sweep of the Series over the Yanks "primarily to great pitching. We were victims of circumstances.

It's really hard to define, but our hitting was poor towards the end of the season and the slump carried on into the Series." Reniff, who appeared in three Series games and pitched hitless baseball, says, "It feels great to be in the the World Series and wearing a Yank uniform.
