Nevada Thumps Marines by 65-0 Score St. Mary's California, 20-13 Cobb, Journal Sports Editor. Ph. 4121 Hawaiian Stars Sensational as Look On Wedemeyer, Cordeiro Launch Gaels' Comeback BASEBALL PACIFIC COAST W. 77 83 85 92 100 108 109 Pet.

.618 575 534 530 492 448 407 398 By HAL WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent BERKELEY, Sept. 22. --A pair of Hawaiian importations fresh from the wars, put St. Mary's college back in the big- time football spotlight here this afternoon as they led the Gaels to 'a 20-13, upset victory! over the university of California Bears before a crowd of 75,000. It was Herman Wedemeyer, star of the 1943 team, and Freshman Spike Cordeiro.

a scat back, both former Honolulu prep stars who spoiled Coach Buck Shaw's bow as coach of the Bears Wedemeyer was nothing short of sensational and after his passing had spellbound the customers, he turned around and booted the ball out of bounds on the one- half-inch line from the 40 to draw the biggest hand of the day. Two Called Back The defeat for the Bears might have been much worse. The Gaels had two long touchdown runs called back and were in complete control of things after the first quarter. California. 2-1 favorites at start of the game set out to live up to pre-game predictions.

They got the Gaels in a hole when they took She ball on the St. Mary's 33 yard line. From there Chuck Gilkey passed to End Roland Chambers for 17, Bob Powell passed to End Jack Lerond on the four and from there Bob Edmonston cracked center for the counter. Powell kicked the extra point, but Cal was off-side on the play and the attempt from farther back was wide and that was the end of the Bear offensive threat for the day. Able Aid From there on 'n Mr.

Wedemeyer with able assistance from teammate Cordeiro and End Ed Ryan, took complete charge of thftigs. One minute later in the second quarter the Gaels were in front. After a 15-yard penalty set them back to their own 28, Coach Jimmy Phelan's jauggernaut got under way. Cordeiro screen- passed to Fullback Wes Busch, for around end to the Cal 19. Then Wedemeyer faded back to the 35, passed to Paul Crowe on the 15 and the big end raced over for the touchdown unmolested.

Wedemeyer kicked the extra point. The Gaels added another before the half ended--again with Wedemeyer in the starring role passing and plunging down to the six, and high-stepping around end for the counter. His kick was wide, and St. Mary's was in front 13-6. The third St.

Mary's touchdown came later in the third period with the great Hawaiian passing 55 yards to Quarterback Dennis O'Connor and O'Connor racing another 20 for the counter, Wedemeyer converting. Long Pass The final Cal tally also was the result of a long pass and came with six minutes to go in the last period. After Wedemeyer had booted the ball out of bounds on the one half inch line from his own the flag in the coffin corner--the Bears took to the airways, Powell passed to Chambers for 14 and then standing on his, own 17 tossed to Edmonston on the St. Mary's 40, with Edmonston racing over for the six points. Powell converted.

The Gaels had another touchdown pass completed but it was called back and they took to the ground in the final minutes knocking at the door on the five yard line as the game ended. It was a spectacular return to the grid heights for the little Gael college with an enrollment of only 200 men. it was even more of a personal triumph for Wedemeyer. During the afternoon he carried the ball 11 times for 60 yards net gain and a 5.5 average. He passed 21 times, completed 12, had one intercepted, for a 203 yard gain and .570 average.

It was called back but the touchdown was staved off only for a moment. "Happy" Reed came in to pitch a 40-yard pass to Stan Kitchner, who made a nice catch on the Pocatello 31.

Rude's powerful kickoffs, which all landed inside the five-yard line, put the Marines in a hole and a short punt made things worse for the visitors.

"The Horse" hit the line for six and then Fransworth rounded left end, weaved away from tacklers for 29 yards and another touchdown. McClure converted. Reed to Hagleen A little later Reed, the Arkansas Traveler, uncorked a nice pass to Hagleen who sprinted to the Marines' 4 for a 37-yard gam. Hagleen then rounded right end behind Rude's blocking for a touchdown. McClure converted.

The Marines got a first down but lost the ball on an interception by Farnsworth in midfield. Rude blasted through tackle, lateraled to Hagleen and then blocked for him in a 24-yard gam. "The Horse" hurried through center for a 25- yard touchdown run but it was called back on a penalty. However, Fransworth, following beautiful interference, skirted left end for 38 yards and a touchdown. Conversion failed.

Many Penalties Bobby Ravera's long punt runback was nulified by a penalty, one of a long procession of rule infractions announced during the day by the whistle-tootlers. In all, Nevada was set back 125 yards and the Marine 65. Coach Jim Aiken sending in hit reserves for seasoning in action-although six of the first-stringers are freshmen who played their first college game yesterday. Hag- leen, the six-foot three-inch haif- back got loose after a key block by Ravera to gallop 48 yards to the Marine 22. After two plays in the second quarter, Hagleen drove for a touchdown and McClure's conversion made it 33-0.

Held at 20 The Marines began to show signs of life and put on a drive of their own with McNatt hitting the line and Dunkleberger passing to Tuma for a first down on the Nevada 20. There the U. N. subs held and Shea punted nicely out of danger. intercepted a Pocatello pass and Nevada drove again for a touchdown.

Ravera smashed a pair of 15-yard gains, only to have them nullified by penalties. However Happy Reed came back in ane pitched a 24-yard pass snared by "Smoky" Smolinskj, erstwhile basketball center. He then unlimberec a long throw to the other end, Car Robinson, who made a nice running catch and race untouched to the goal. Conversion failed. Undaunted, the Marines tried it again and got as far as the U.

22 where they were stopped as the half ended 40-0. Early in the third Rude's quick kick from the U. N. 40 went over the goal, and right afterwards the Marines were penalized back to their 1-yard line. Peters' kick partly blocked, only gained eight Nevada made eight first downs, 224 yards running, 110 passing with six completions In 15 tries.

The Marines gained 121 running. 98 passing on 11 completions in 32 attempts and had 15 first downs. Tom McNatt, a lanky halfback, did a workmanlike job in the Marine backfield. Carr, an end, as as Simpson, and Wallace at tackle spots, were also standouts. Nevada's line was full of strong playing, with tackles McClure and Dieringer playing their usual hard, heady ball.

Piccini turned in a very nice performance, while Mason, DiChiaro, Stolfi, Robinson, Munk and Davis also hitting hard. Swede Sensation Wins Mile From Haag, Andersson STOCKHOLM, Sept. 22.
