For the long underdog TJclans, it was only the third triumph in 20 meetings with their cross-town foe. But it was b- far their greatest and the largest margin of victory.

USC has one more with Notre Dar next week, and watching the I'ebacle from the scouts' booth high atop Memorial Coliseum was the head man of the Irish, Frank Leahy. He didn't see much. Six times UCLA burned the scoreboard, and three of the tallies were by Coach Red Sanders red hot' sophomore, -160 pound Tailba Narleski. It was Narleski whu. hard, shifty running behind a charging UCLA line belted the Trojans out for keeps just when USC was beginning to work up steam.

Little Ted Tan the end; and sliced through the tackles for almost 100 yards in the first half alone. Right Halfback Howard Hansen, who insisted on playing despite the death of his youthful wife just two. days' ago, was also a big factor in the first half. But the major gun was Terrific Ted, who had the Bruins in front by 19 points at halftime. Late in the third period Coach Sanders, ahead 26 to 0, began sending in, his substitutes and he had all but emptied the bench midway in -the final quarter.

UCLA was favored by seven points, but few observers felt they had the manpower to trounce the Trojans so handily. Pilot Rock Oiib In 6-Man Finals PENDLETON.

Faculty representatives of the league were voting tonight on the nominee. California, 13 point favorites to whip their oldest rivals, actually was lucky to come out of the fierce struggle with a draw. The Bears scored first in the third period, then were deadlocked when Stanford tallied with a touchdown pass early in the final quarter. Both converted the extra tally. The Bears finished their season with nine victories and today's tie.

Stanford completed an otherwise disappointing schedule with five wins, three defeats and two ties. The first half was scoreless, with Stanford1 making two scoring bids to California's one. The Indians missed a 37-yard field goal attempt by End Bill McColl in the second period. Previously, Stanford had traveled 63 yards to California's 19, losing the bail on a pass interception.
