FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, RKiQ. 1 1 F. A I A It HUSKIES SMASH WAY INTO ROSE BOWL WITH 40 TO 0 VICTORY PACK Hip Parade of ihe Hustling Huskies 1 iarri sons ON THE INSIDE WASHINGTON LINE STARKS TEAM TO BRILLIANT IN WIN ''11. im VII Cousl, or should i( ho VII Vmorioim loam, is oomploio. Fooling that my roadors were ont it led to nothing but the vorv host, the most complete "All-Const American," I felt forced to watt until the last chips had fallen, until the lust nog was hung and the Coast, Conference season had reached ita finale By Pete, Anloneieh The book, Football, and How It Is Played" was written yesterday by the Washington Huskies who mowed down Washington State 40 to 0 before a record-breaking crowd of 41,000 spectators.

As all leading best sellers, this one ended happily, with the Huskies wending their way to the Rose Bowl January 1, with their first title since 1925. The appeal of this number is that it probobly is the most complete of any edited thus far. Chapters are devoted to running, passing, blocking, kicking, defense and thinking. The demonstration was at the expense of the hapless Cougars and resulted in the largest score between these two great state rivals since 1914 when the Huskies won 45 to 0. If anyone had told you, before tiie game that the HuBkiew would roll over six legal touchdowns, and two that were Illegal, theyd have called you crazy.

If they had said that Cruver would score three touchdowns, youd have reserved a room for them at Sedro-Wooley. Should they have mentioned that the Washington line would smash the Cougars for yards nml 15 first downs, youd have felt It necessary to call a paddy-wagon. That all happened and more. In the most surprising afternoon In grid history. Washington piled up 355 yards and 17 first downs to tS7 and two for the Cougars.

Jimmy Cain was the biggest ground gainer with 90 yards in 20 tries. Kd Goddard, the Cougar all-American, didn't have a chance. So relentlessly did the Husky forward wall pursue him that he made but 14 yards, lost 10 and finished with an average of less than one-half yard per try. He didnt have a chance. in I Nil 1,1) i-iikss 0 Arkansas 23, Tulsa (Okla.) 13.

JIMMY IMIF.I.AN, I niu-rsih of Washington.

Dear Jimim You know, of course, who Walt Shiel and Ray Gardner arc, but as this is an open letter and some one who reads tt might not appreciate just who they are Ill tell them Watt Shiel was one of Washington's great fullback. Gardner a great halfback in the olden days Neither of them has missed a half dozen games played by a Washington team in 20 years. Here is what both said to me yesterday: "That is the finest Washington team that ever went on the field, has the finest conceived offense we've ever looked at and that i goes for Andy Smith's 'wonder for Howard Jones' Thundering Herd, for Pop Warner's and Tiny Thornhill Stanford Cardinals, for Berme Bierman's Minnesotans and a lot more we're too busy to mention," And, Jim, I want you to know that the old town is unanimous right now in echoing what Walt and Hay had to say. I only wish I knew the adjectives to apply. Theyre marvelous, stupendous and all those other 'ous s' and you.

lrisher. arc deserving of everything that goes with commanding a championship team. To you and your team, the very best, and to the other mem- bers of your staff the same. Sincerely, CUFF HARRISON. Oregon Jefferson (Portland) 38: Hood River 0 Eugene 44; Medford 0.

Vnd here's the world's champion prognosticator brought out from under his bushel Cliff Sweetlaml, advertising director for Sears, Roebuck A Co. Last December, lilt Sweetlaml offered to 1st any one in the house and the place was well crowded, too anything from x.5 to st 00 that this Washington team of 1936 would win the conference championship. Cliff Sweetland, I salute von as the champion of them all.

the line, around the ends, by the air, the Washington Huskies trumped over the Washington Stale Cougar yesterday to a 10 to 0 vietorv and a eertain trip to the rnnadena Rose Bowl. Star Photographer Jink lleise gives von a closo-up shot at the first, Washington tnuehdiiwn of six scored during the day. Above, the Cougars are stopping Al (rover, piledriving Husky fullback, on the one-loot line after ii gain of seven yards straight thru center. ml then, on the next play, Cruver again lakes Ihe ball and crashes thru lor a touchdown as the upraised arms of Referee Tommy Fitzpatrick designate. Marvelous timing, well-nigh iierfi-ct blocking, plus the power and fleetncss of foot which nature gave them, put Hie Huskies over to stamp them as probably the most versatile and powerful Washington team in history.

Glorious Finish It was a glorious finish for the nine graduating seniors. John Wtfttrak and Mitch Mondala, centers, Max Starcevich, guard, Jack MacKcnzle and Chuck Bond, tackles, and the original backfieid quartet of Logg, Cain, Haines and Nowogroski have one more collegiate game. That is, the Rose Bowl clash. They said adieu to Seattle fans yesterday in the most spectacular manner yet seen on the grid. The truth is stranger than fiction, but proof of it all is contained in the book the Huskies wrote yesterday.

The first chapter was written early in the game. Following Al Cruver's attempted place kick, Ed Goddard really booted one. It went 50 yards to Fritz Waskowitz who returned 14 to his own 37. Then came the chapter of line play. In 12 plays, the Huskies slashed their way across for the first touchdown.

After Wasky made a yard at end, he slipped the hall to Jimmy Cain on a reverse and he made his way 17 yards to the Cougar 45. Goddard saved the day, momentarily, with a shoe string tackle. Wasky then tound a hole at right guard, cut thru, reversed his field and finally was downed on the Cougar 27. Wasky then added three. On a reverse from Cain, he plunged forward 10 more to the Cougar 14.

Cain at left tackle made two. Cruver on a reverse added three more. He then fumbled, but recovered and gained three more on a hole opened by Starcevich and Markov. Markov, Starcevich and Wiatrak combined to open another hole and Cruver battled his way to the one-half yard line. He then went over for the first one and Logg converted.

Cruver Scores Again It wasn't long before the Huskies had another. By Haines took Dougherty's kick-off and twisted his way 38 yards to the Washington State 45. After Haines made a yard, Cain, on a reverse from Haines, skidded off right tackle, kept his feet, and finally was forced out of bounds after making 28 to the Cougar 16. Haines on a lateral made two. Cruver added one, then apparently Bid RIGHT STANDINGS CRYSTAL GRAZER Says Navy Win Theres a tear in Old Chystal Grazers eye today.

This is his final appearance of the year and he heads south following his last expert selections of the year. For 11 successive weeks, Old Chystal has guided the football fans along the road of right thinking. With his farewell, Old Chystal says Navy over Army in the battle of Philadelphia and Louisiana State to come thru against Tulane in the nations I biggest classics. Here's the dope: rilled a pass to Haines who outran Goddard to take it on the Cougar six, and oxer went The Bender lor the third touchdown. Wasky's attempted conversion was wide.

Score Three More Late in the third period, Jimmy Johnston's interception of a Cougar pass and 15-yard return put the ball on the Cougar 37. Cain failed to gain, so Haines hit the line twice to take it to Washington States 25. Wasky hit the line, pivoted in the air, lateraled to Cain and the Rambling Jimmy was away for 15, being brought down on the Cougar 10. Cain, who was now playing fullback, hit the line three times for the necessary 10 yards and a touchdown. He then converted and the score read 27 to 0.

The bloodthirsty Huskies were after more. Johnstons second interception of Goddard's pass gave the ball to Washington on the Cougar 23. Haines left-handed a pass to Cain, who took it on the 15 and ran five more to the Cougar 10. Nowogroski made three, at renter. Then hit the line again, hut slipped the ball to Quarterback Logg, who later-aled to Halfback Haines who passed to I)iek Johnson in a corner of the end zone for another touchdown.

The play was Nowogroski to Logg to Haines to Johnson. Logg made this third conversion I and the score read 34 to 0. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, Cruver intercepted Goddard's last ditch pass and rambled 33 yards for his third touchdown of the afternoon, bringing the score to 40. It mattered not that his try for point was wide. Two Dont Count The Huskies had two more 'touchdowns, but both were called back.

Johnston, tackled, lateraled I to Nowogroski, who went 40 yards I across the goal line. The pass was forward, however, and correctly was called back. A long pass from Haines to Waskowitz brought the crowd to its feet. Wasky went over after receiving the ball, but he shoved the Cougar defender and the Huskies were penalized 15 yards. WASHINGTON BID TO BOWL ON WAY The Huskies must "brush up" a hit on their line pluv and pass defense.

Once a Cougar hack. Littlefield I think II was, made four yards right thru center. I just must chide my boys about that one. This pass detense must he cheeked, too. Siv minutes before the game was over the Cougars completed an eight-yard pass and with two line plays mads three yards more and a first down their first one.

Such "evident weaknesses" must Is- corrected at once, Some wonder why several of the substitutions Jimmy Phelan made yesterday. Well, here was one I'll never get over thinking was as fine a gesture to a bunch of great kids as a coach ever made well along in the fourth quarter Hainea and Cain were in and a touchdown wasnt too remote a possibility. In went Ed Nowogroski and Elmer Logg and those four seniors, buddies all thru college, stars all thru college, proceeded to make a touchdown right then and there. Mitch Mondala, who hasn't played too much, but who has given his very best for four years, got his chance, too Logg's injury in the early part of the third quarter caused several changes, changes intended to raise the effectiveness. Waskowitz was kept in for his running and passing, then taken out for Johnson's better kicking.

Johnson in turn, alter a fine display, came out to provide a further scoring punch, Phelan's substitutions caught up with him a couple of times but they were smart all the way. The kid I felt sorry lor was Ed Goddard, Washington State's great hack. Here he was, in his last game, and unable to do a thing. In the face of an inspired Husky team that simply toyed with his line and supporting cast, there was nothing the- hoy could do. A great boy, this Goddard, and a worthy foeman.

Seattle fans may go many a day before they see a team play as fine a game of football as did the Huskies Thursday. Jimmy Phelan picks out Markov, Starcevich, Slivinski and Chuck Newton for particular mention- You can go on and name all the rest of them. Good football men saw the prospects of a great backfieid for next year in Waskowitz, Jimmy Johnston, A1 Cruver and Newton The end play of Dick Johnson and Frank Peters was high class. Pete Antoncich hit the nail on the head when he asked "who didnt play a great game" Take a glimpse at the first touchdown if you want (lie answer. It was made In 12 plays, two of those Ineompleted passes, a 63-yard march thru or over the Cougars.

And that's the way II went most of Ihe day. The Huskies really "put on Hie power. Oh, yes! II seems to me that some place I either read or wrote that Thursdays winning team went to the Rose Bowl. Well, Pasadena, here we come. There are lot of examinations to be passed, a lot of water will flow under the bridge before we get there, but were on our way, nevertheless Who'll the Huskies play? Well, that probably won't he decided right away.

But then again the conference may take a mail vote and tell Ray Eckmanri to do his own inviting. Watch for action shortly! The happiest man in the stadium Thursday was Dr. Alfred Strauss, Washingtons No. 1 alumnus, the man who just cant see a good football player get away from him, the man who helped send every one of those Chicago kids west. Dr.

Strauss came out from Chicago especially for the game, says he'll be in Pasadena on New Years day, too. Maybe you think he doesn't play every play, get as excited as the youngest under-graduate. And maybe you think he isnt a good friend of the University. Doc, I only wish there were a dozen more "alums" like you and listen, old boy, weren't YOUR kids great! Please pardon any omissions or corrections unmade in these minutes but one of Frank Foystons best turkeys is waiting for me right now. Washingtons bid to the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena, January 1, is on the way.

In fact it will undoubtedly arrive by telegraph late this afternoon. A telegraph vote was being taken this morning of the eight schools in the conference, results on which were to be announced by Prof. H. C. Willetts, University of Southern California, the president of the conference, after the last vote had arrived.

Precedent calls for the victorious Pacific Coast Conference team to invite whom it chooses to be its opponent in the big game. That action probably wont be taken until the middle of the week, Ray Eckmann, Washington athletic director, declared today. Being seriously considered are Alabama, Pittsburg and Dartmouth, all of which have completed their schedules, and Louisiana State which plays Tulane In New Orleans Saturday. "We want the best team we can get, Eckmann declared this morning. "Jim Phelan and the boys say they want to meet the best one we can get and that goes.

We are going to give careful consideration and then issue our invitation." Rumors that the Big Ten might "break down" and let its champion, Northwestern, play In the Bowl are not given much credence at Washington. 20th Straight for Willamette Eleven SALEM, Nov. 27 (UP) Willamette university won its 20th consecutive Northwest conference football victory yesterday by trouncing Whitman college, 18 to 0. HUSKY LOCKER ROOM HAPPY a a Got To Take It, Says Babe "The kids played a great game," says Jim Phelan. "You can't do anything when a team plays ball like that, says Babe Hollingberry, "you just have to sit there and take it.

what a difference In ihe two i dressing rooms after the game. Dave Nesbet and Dan Lazare- In the Husky locker room, naked vich, former Washington ends, kids running around, congratulat- saying in one breath, You really ing each other. Jimmy Cain, rubbing tape off his legs with gasoline, I played the last quarter with a dislocated toe, but didnt know it until now." Mitch Mondala and Chuck Newton making an appointment with team physician Dr. Don Palmer. Mondala hurt his shoulder.

Newton suffered a broken nose on the first play of the game. "I'm still tough," he argues. Jimmy Johnston and Al Cruver dressing quietly in one corner. Fritz Waskowitz showing how he shoved the Cougar defender on the touchdown pass which was called back. By Haines saying, "Gee, Id have given anything to get away on that last interception." Dr.

Alfred Strauss, Washington alumni No. who came here from Chicago, smiling. It was the happiest day of his life. Jim Phelan accepting congratulations quietly. Talking with reporters.

The team played wonderful ball. It's hard to pick an outstanding man. Give Vic Markov, Max Starcevich and Steve Sllvin-ski credit in that line. Dont forget to mention Chuck Newton, he really laid it on when he blocked." Phelan to Mike Pecarovich, Gon-zaga coach who scouted the Cougars, "I hope we didn't mukc it too tough for you when you play them, "I dont know," said Mike, "I wanted to get some Washington State offensive formations. They didnt have the ball enough to chart any.

And to Dr, George Houser, Minnesota scout, "You fellows still following us around?" saw a ball club in At that it wasn't so noisy. The Rose Bowl was scarcely mentioned, tho the Invitation is just a formality, Ray Eckmann, athletic director, watching it all, said nothing would be coming for a few days. "Well have to receive the invitation first," he announced, "then we'll go into a huddle and select the team." "We can't say anything until after Saturday's games. All of the teams havent completed their schedules." Shift a moment, to the Washington State dressing room. "Its like a morgue," one Cougar student manager confided.

The Cougars were quiet, dressing quietly. Holllngbery, accepting condolences, gave credit to the Huskies. "Did you ever see a team so hot, he said. "That Hue. Thats what beat us.

Everything Washington did was right. Wed kick out from our five-yard line, and bing, bing, they were right back in our territory again." Their punts would roll out of bounds deep in our terirtory. You cant do anything when you're backed up against your own goal line all afternoon," "We might have kept the score down a bit, but it wasnt worth it. On a day like today, you just have to sit and take it. At that, I don't feel as bad as I did after losing the Oregon State game.

"I give the Huskies credit. Thgy're a great team and 1 wish them all Ihe luck In the Rose Bowl." Figures Sliow Margin peeved at his first effort, bolted like a wild steer, right thru the center, for the necessary 13 yard3 to the goal. Goddard met him at the one-yard line, but Cruver just carried the Cougar quarterback over with the ball. Logg again converted. The Huskies scored again bejjorc the half.

Starting on their own 24, Haines, Wasky and Nowogroski made 1 1 yards. Wasky made another and Haines on a reverse, circled the Cougar right end for 13. Wasky cut back for 13 to the Cougar 38. Here a penalty pul Washington State on Its 33. The next play was perfect.
