PASADENA POST, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 17, 1940 21 POMONA ELEVEN HUMBLES OCCIDENTAL, TAL, 6-0 Stanford Team Virtually Certain To Get Bowl Bid (Continued just 41 minutes after opened. A fumble by Dethman gave Stanford ball on Oregon State's 33 after off a 15-yard penalty, Albert Franking threw 39 yards into the end zone to Halfback Hugh Gallarneau for the second six-pointer. The stands scarcely had returned to sitting positions when Kmetovic got the ball again Stanford by intercepting one of Dethman's passes. In six running plays, Stanford drove 61 yards, with Sub Fullback Rod Parker covering the last 18 for the third score, put on the board just as the time clock tered nine minutes of the period played. Refuse To Quit Oregon State refused to quit after the fourth touchdown and twice in the final quarter the Staters drove into scoring territory.

They' succeeded in one drive when a fumble gave them possession of the ball on the Stanford's 18 and Halfback Dethman passed 11 yards and then eight yards to End John Leovich for touchdown. Stanford now gets a two weeks' rest before meeting California in the final game of the regular season on Nov. 30. With six con- from Page 1) ference wins already in and only one game! to play, the team that couldn't win a game in the West last year was assured of at least a tie for the conference title. Washington has two games to play, and if the teams finish in a tie, Stanford's win over Washington would be a deciding factor if Stanford lost to California and Washington won remaining games.

In this game Stanford discarded the passing attack that had carried it to most of its earlier wins and concentrated on a ground game. The Indian backs, with Kmetovic, Gallerneau, Vucinich and Parker the heaviest runs, rolled off a net of 298 yards on the ground. Stanford tried only four passes and completed one. the 39-yard touchdown throw to Gallarneau. They had 13 first downs, all from scrimmage.

Beavers' Statistics Oregon State put together 15 first downs, eight of them on rushing in which they netted 149 yards, five on passes which totalled 119 yards, and one on penalty. Oregon State tried 22 passes and completed 11. Five of their tosses, however, were intercepted.

Using Robinson as a decoy Quarterback Ned Mathews snapped a 27 yard pass which was snagged by End Bob Simpson with a desperate leap in the end zone as the gun sounded. Robinson contributed the important tying point from placement. The football fates were cruel to Stan Johnson, big Washington State tackle, on one occasion late in the final peroid.

Previously Johnson had converted twice and had drawn cheers for two long field goals. However, team was behind 27 his Sewell made his second touchdown, Game On Ice With the tying point in the balance, Johnson's conversion kick was blocked by the same end, Bob Simpson, who had caught the tying pass for U.

seven losing battles, came into his full stride today. He carried the ball 18 times for 127 yards, or an average of 6.18 yards. Sewell only averaged 2.62 yards on 10 attempts, but his yardage by running-as well as his passes--came at the most opportune moments for Washington State. U. C.

Davis In More Trouble After Zivic Fouling Said Age 21; Didn't Sign For Draft NEW YORK, Nov.

16. (U.P) -Al Davis, principal in Friday night's fight at Madison Square Garden, may find himself involved more seriously than was first expected when he appears before the Boxing Commission Tuesday. Davis 1 was disqualified for repeated fouling Friday night in the second round of his scheduled 10-round non-title bout with Welterweight Champion Fritzie Zivic. Faces Suspension Because of his fouling and his berserk actions after the disqualification, Davis faces long suspension and possible loss of his purse of $11,340.17. In addition he may find himself in a predicament because of his failure to register for the draft.

Last night's bout was slated for 10 rounds, and in New York State a boxer must be 21 years old before he can sign for that distance. Davis' manager, Johnny Attell, admitted today that Davis did not register for the le draft. But Attell insisted that Davis will not be 21 until Janu- ary. Additional Charge Commissioner Bill Brown has threatened to bring up the question at Tuesday's meeting and find out why Davis is registered with the commission as being 21 if didn't register for the draft. If Davis is not 21, it is probable that the commission will charge one of the boxer's relatives with perjury for having so attested.

Busik Shines, But Columbia Ties Navy NEW YORK, Nov. 16. (U.P.) Columbia's 1 underdog football warriors put on another of their famous goal line stands today and held Navy to a scoreless deadlock before 31,000 persons in Baker Field as the Middies again rolled up big chunks of yardage but not points. Battered about for three full periods and forced to hold off a half dozen thrusts in the early part of the second half, the light but fast Columbia players put together their only sustained drive with just four minutes to play and missed by a matter of inches the field goal they needed to win. Leonard Will stepped back to his 20-yard line for the attempt.

The ball soared in an almost perfect are but struck the left upright and bounded back. The game was dominated by the Middies almost all the way. With Barnacle Bill Busik leading the attack, Navy marched at will between the 20-yard stripes--gaining nine first downs and 166 to three first downs and 51 yards for the Lions. Baseball Heads To Repeal Law? American League Player Trade Rule On Fire NEW YORK, Nov. 16.

(INS) Rescinding of the rule that prevents the pennant winning club in the American League from trading with member teams seems assured at the coming annual baseball conclave. President Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators railroaded the legislation to passage at the last meeting of the club moguls. Whether it was due to Griffith's law or some other undefinable reason, the Yanks finished third this year and the Washington president nosy announced he will vote against the ruling he worked so hard to have passed.

(U.P)-The Texas Aggies turned loose their full land and air power in the second period here today to score three touchdowns in 11 minutes and roll on to a 25 to 0 victory over a strong Rice eleven. Rice, after a brave stand in the first period, fell to pieces and never had a chance. The triumph, which was accomplished before, a near capacity crowd of 30,000, gave the Aggies their 19th straight win, placed them within one step of becoming the first Southwestern Conference team ever to win the title two years in succession, and made them the stand-out candidate for New Year's Day bowl bids.

(INS) Texas University squelched Texas Christian, 21-14, in the Frogs' homecoming day at Fort Worth today to game eliminate another contender for the Southwest Conference title. MISS By BILL BURNS Power met passes and power won with one lightning stab when Pomona humbled Occidental 6-0 yesterday on Patterson Field in a bitterly fought Homecoming Day struggle before 5000 fans. Pomona made its third consecutive victory in as many years over Oxy. Yesterday was the 43rd time the two squads have clashed on the gridiron. In Tigers' Hair Bob Fernandes, 160-pound back playing his last game for the Sagehens, proved the consistent thorn in Tiger flesh all day and it was his twisting, fighting 13- yard run over his own left end late in the first period that spelled victory for his cohorts.

Tigers may claim to have outplayed Pomona by a 12 to 9 margin in first downs, but the Sagehen punches were solid solar plexus cracks at the Tiger line which yielded the necessary pigskin dends at the right time. One heartbreaking misfortune broke Tiger spirit in the second period when Ed Richard's touchdown pass to Clark McLain from 20 yards out was called back on a pushing penalty, Squads Jittery Jittery squads started the game off by a complimentary exchange of fumbles before settling down to business. Not until midway in the first period did a drive get going and it was the Pomona touchdown march engineered front the Sagehen 40. Fernandes passed to Dick Strehle for 19, a line crack and another pass put the ball on the Oxy 30, a shovel pass and line crack moved the porkhide to the Tiger 18, another shovel pass netted 5, and on the next play Fernandes scored. The kick for extra point was swarmed under.

Cork Pops Out Both teams battled up and down the turf in a savagely fought but colorless third period then the cork popped out of the bottle. Twice in the final canto Gus Henderson's aggregation drove down to the shadow of the Sagehen goal posts, and twice a desperately tired Pomona eleven staved off the attackthe last time batting down four passes from their own 9-yard marker in the closing minutes of play. Tiger flippers completed 7 out of 10 tries on marches of 69 and 1 51 yards respectively. Eight and 6 Pomona seniors saw their last "little big game." Victory cinched second spot in the Southern California Conference race for Pomona, Redlands earned the title with an overwhelming victory over tech Friday night.

(U.P) -Notre Dame was the major victim in a flock of upsets that swept the nation's football fields today while conference titles, or a piece of them, were clinched on four fronts. Notre Dame and Georgetown were blasted out of perfect-record group, leaving the country with seven unbeaten and untied major teams: Minnesota, Stanford, Texas Aggies, Tennessee, Boston College, Cornell and Lafayette.

Of these survivors, Minnesota clinched the Big Ten title; Stanford virtually assured itself of the Coast Conference championship and Rose Bowl (U.P) -Michigan and Northwestern, victurned loose pent up bitterness on rolling to a 20-13 victory before 076,749 fans. The battle, played on a frozen field amid frequent snow flurries, proved again that about a onepoint margin of luck separates the three Western Conference elevens and the score today might have been 20-all if a yard drive by Northwestern in the final minutes had not failed by inches. Needing a yard to make it first down on Michigan's five, Red Hahnenstein was tackled behind the line of scrimmage by Bob Westfall and the game was over. Westfall, who was as much of a football player as Tommy Harmon today, made two Michigan touchit downs and Harmon one. But Harmon's vicious slices off tackle and his races around end accounted for much of the Michigan yardage.

By JACK CUDDY defense; and the Texas clinched at least a title tie in the Southwest Conference. Similarly, outside the perfect-record group wrapped up at least a tie for the Mountain Big Seven title. Georgetown's perfect record was smeared when shaded, 19-18, by Boston College in the season's last between unbeaten and untied major elevens. This victory probably will bring the Boston Eagles an invitation to the Sugar Bowl. For Georgetown it snapped a winning streak of 23 games.

Minnesota clinched the Ten title with a 33-6 victory over Purdue, giving the Golden Gophers five straight conference wins this season and wrapping the title even should they lost their last game to Wisconsin. Michigan. beaten once in conference play, cannot tie the Gophers now because doesn't play enough conference games. Stanford virtually assured his itself of the Pacific Coast title, having already beaten Washington, which is the one team with a chance to tie them mathematically. The Texas Aggies destroyed the jinx that says a Southwest titleholder never repeats, when they downed Rice, 25-0, for their 19th straight victory.

Even though the Aggies lose their last game to Texas on he Nov. 28, they will wind up with at least a tie with Rice or South- has ern Methodist, McGOVERN VACATIONS PHOENIX, Nov. 16.
