on Vikes, 'Gades in Scoreless Tie Trojans Roll Toward Top By JEROME HALL Staff Writer PALO ALTO While the USC and Stanford rooting section taunted each other with spirited undergraduate enthusiasm Saturday, the Trojans and the Indians played a football game that probably boosted Southern Calif. to the No. 1 position in the land. -The Trojans toyed with the burly Injuns, prodding them with line probes in the manner of exploratory surgery, then severed the foe with precision, overhead artistry. The score was 39-14.

It was, in quick summation, another case of no contest when the Trojans applied their special stuff passeson a day like May in a bowl by the Bay. So it's seven in a row for Troy, which was rated No. 2 behind Northwestern last week and with the Wildcats' loss to Wisconsin Saturday, the USC rooting section had reason to chant "we're number one." But for awhile the Stanford rooting section had reason to taunt the Trojans. A sunslashed crowd of about 41,000 watched the Trojans start slowly. At the end of the first quarter it was 0-0 and the Stanford rooters chanted Wildcats Upset, 37-6 (STORY ON PAGE C-3) Purdue 17 Mich.

TROJANS SHOUT'We're Rose Bowl- Bound' PALO ALTO "We're going to the Rose Bowl We're going to the Rose Bowl!" University of Southern -California's assistant coaches and players were shouting the refrain in their dressing room after Satur-: day's 39-14 thumping of Stanford. But Trojan coach John McKay did not care to enter into the songfest. "We still have tough "USC over-rated and over paid."

Bill Nelsen won a narrow decision over Pete Beathard by sportswriters' ballots. After Beathard had scored two touchdowns on short runs Nelsen applied the easybreezy margin with scoring passes of 29 and four yards. Even seldom-seen QB Craig Fertig got into the scoring act with a well executed scoring drive in the final period. He ran it over from the five.

Nelsen engineered the drive and it would have gone all the way to a touchdown except for a holding infraction against the Trojans on the goal line. Nelsen mixed ground (Continued Page C-2, Col. 4) games ahead," said McKay.

"Maybe next week. And UCLA always is one of our toughest games." Stanford coach Jack Curtice said, "I would call the Trojans the No. 1 team in the nation. "Stopping their attack islike squeezing a lump of dough with your fist. You crush it and it pops out between your fingers." Frankie Albert, former Stanford star and professional coach, said the Trojans offered "one of the most entertaining" teams he ever had seen.

"They have a bit of everything," said Albert. "They play like old pros. McKay pointed out guard and line backer Damon Bame as being a standout. Bame: at one point intercepted a pass and returned it 43 yards. He threw Stanford's Ken Babajian for a safety.

Wirephoto A 'RICH' GAIN FOR USC There's no hole, but USC fullback Rich McMahon, a former Banning High star, drives through Stanford line for six yards in second quarter of Big Six battle Saturday. Steve Pursell, left, makes stop, By KEN PIVERNETZ BAKERSFIELD The Metropolitan Conference showdown between unbeaten Long Beach City College and Bakersfield College ended i in a futile 0-0 tie here Saturday night. The tie left. LBCC, at 7-0-1 land probably knocked them out of a Junior Rose Bowl bid after Santa Ana's convincing win over Orange Coast.

Bakersfield is now 5-2-1. A large crowd of 17,846 and a local TV audience saw the underdog Renegades thwart Long Beach's only threat in the first quarter and play almost the entire second half in LBCC territory. THE 'GADES actually crossed the Viking goal 1 line early in the final period, but a clipping penalty nullified the apparent TD. If games were won by statistics, Bakersfield would have been home breezing. The 'Gades out-gained LBCC 223-112 in net yards and had an 11-6 edge in first downs.

Practically the entire fourth quarter was spent in Long Beach territory. The 'Gades drove from their own 26 to the LBCC 16 to start the final period on their best drive of the night only to have it end in frustration when the TD was called back. CLIFF KINNEY'S 39-yard pass to George Tinnin set up a first down on the Long Beach 25. Three running plays put the ball on the 16 where Kinney: who. was.

a thorn in the Vikes' side all night with his running, rolled out to the right and went in for the TD standing up. But a clipping penalty nullified the run and Long Beach took over only to lose the ball on the first play when Jim Dunn fumbled and Leon Standridge recovered on the Vike 31. From there, Bakersfield moved to the 14, but with fourth-and-nine a fake field goal attempt wound up as an eight-yard loss. LONG BEACH couldn't get out of its own territory the rest of the game, but the 'Gades were stopped after that. The Renegades threatened the first time they got the ball in the first half and on the LBCC 12 when the second quarter ended as both teams stuck mainly to the ground.

JIM DUNN completed passes to Duane Nixon (12 yards) and Frank Roy (12 yards) for the big plays in the drive that originated on the Long Beach 11. The drive was, stymied, however, on a (Continued Page C-5, Col. 1) Today's Sports Card Horse Racing -Callente, 11:30 a.m. -Pro Football- Colts vs. Rams, Coliseum, 1:30 p.m.
