By PHIL RAY. Sweeping flown the green tun ot the Calitornia Memorial Stadium with the strength of a tornado, the Golden Bears of California trampled at will over a stubborn and fighting, but sadlv outclassed, bunch of Cougars from Washincton State yesterday afternoon. The Bruin footballers, using a battering line attack interspersed with a few reverses and criss-crosses, displayed the greatest offensive power they have exhibited thia season in defeating the football team by a 33 to 0 score. The California offenslyV-fnachine polished and exhibiting hone of the ragged qualities that have characterized previous games, battered Its way to a clean-cut victory and earned all except one of the five touchdowns by dint of hard labor on the part of the backfiold men, tspecinlly Earl Jabs. JAHS WAS STAR.

Jabs, giant Bruin fullback, was easily the star of the contest, scoring two touchdowns and paving the way for others by his stellar work on line plunges and fake reverses. At the opening gun, the husky Bruin started battering attack nd plowed his way straight through the Cougar line for a touchdown. During the first half, Jabs carried the ball twenty- eight times and gained 121 yards for his team. His total for the three fliiarters, during which he played was 143 yards. The opening rush of the Blue and Gold seemed to take the Cou gars by surprise for, after the first core, the men ot coacn a- a Kxendine took a game stand and taved off the Bruin attack for the remainder of the quarter.

In the second period, however Jimmy Dixon, California halfback, fcroke through tackle by the of perfect Interference tnjougn both the first and second lines of defense, ran sixty-three yards to the Cougar's goal line.

Nov. 7. Redeploying en-riiHstTe from one aide of Jabs' Plunging Tears Cougars' Line to Shreds Bruin Back Marches to Goal by Battering His Way for Consistent Cains. By dan McMillan. The California varsity came into Its own yesterday afternoon in the Memorial stadium and with the precision that has marked California teams of old marched their way to a 35 to 0 win over the Washington State College.

JABS ON HAM PAGE. The first touchdown re.sulted after an 80-yard march down the field. Washington State punted the ball across California's goal line, and It was the Bear's ball on their own 2Q-yard line. In 17 plays the ball was planted behind the last chalk mark. Jabs carried the ball twelve of the seventeen times and gained 60 yards, the remaining 30 was made by Dixon and Imlay.

Jabs scored the touchdown and Carlso'n converted. It was the prettest exhibition of line bucking of the year and Jabs took advantage of his wonderful leg drive to add every possible foot. He is a great fullback, and his two team mates, Al Young and Bert Griffin make up a trio of the best fullbacks in the country. They do no passing or kicking, but for carrying the ball, they are hard to equal. It is hard to de cide which is the best of the three one game, the lienors go to one, and then the next game, the other comes in for his rightful share.

Today it was Jabs, though he made two touchdowns by line smashes. JIMMY GETS AWAY. Dixon got away for the longest run of the day on an off tackle buck, He raced .63 yards to a touchdown. It was, also Dixon's long pass to Mell, that neted a score, "Snooky" catching it Just over the goal line. Full credit must be given the whole Bruin line for their stellar work.

It would be almost an impossibility to pick the outstanding Carey and Coultrin did some great offensive line work by opening gapping holes in the Cougar defense. And on defense Carey again, with Mell and Sargent helped to make, the line im pregnable. Walt Rau broke into the light' when he Intercepted a pass and ran SO yards.

Southern California's "thundering herd met and defeated the Santa Clara Broncos, 28 to 9, here this afternoon. Santa Clara proved to be the strongest non-conference eleven the Trojans have met this season Coached by Adam Walsh former Notre Dame player, the Broncos presented a backfleld shift and forward passing attack that puzzled the University of Southern California players throughout the game. The Trojans, however, tore the Santa Clara line to shreds and line bucks by Southern California back-field men were always good for considerable yardage.

Notre Dame, Penn In Scoreless Tie "STATE COLLEGE, Pa.r Nov. 7. Notre Dame and Penn State battled to a scoreless deadlock today on a slippery, slimy field before a record alumni homecoming crowd of 22,000, that sat through' a steady downpour of rain. Play was marred by the tfon of th the heavy, auprr by Dixon and Jabs and an occasional brilliant gain by Captain Talma "Tut" Imlay, on a crisscross or a reverse, accounted for the third score for the Bruins. Jabs carried the ball over the last marker on a powerful plunge over guard for four yards.

KICK VEl SHOItT. During the few chances the Cougars hai at their offensive game they fared quite well, but the inability to gain consistently, coupled with the fact that they were playing most of the game in the shadow of their own goal posts, prevented the Northerners from jiving the Bear's defense a good test. A twenty-four yard pass from Koenig to Meeker placed the ball In Bruin territdry but when the Blue and Gold line was In the (lightest danger the line stiffened nd the Cougars elected to try a field goal. Cliff Meeker, flashy little quarterback who has accounted for some fifteen points by field Koals this season, dropped back, but his kick fell short from the forty-yard line and Blewett returned the ball to California's twenty-seven yard line.

Nov. 7. Princeton gave Harvard the worst beating in the football history of the Crimson at Princeton this afternoon. The score was 3G to 0. As the game was played the Tigers might haVe won by almost any sort of a score, for Harvard was simply abject It was the poorest Cambridge outfit that the writer has ever seen and Nassau palpably let down in the.

second half. In the course of the contest Princeton made nineteen first downs to Harvard's one. She crashed through the line, threw forward passes that succeeded almost lnevitnhlv. and in gen eral made a showing that sent her thousands of adherents into transports while Harvard's host sat dumb with amazement. PRINCETON STRONG.

Just how strong this Princeton team is' remains to be seen. Cer talnly the orange and the black- has developed into a far superior combination than anyone who had witnessed her in previous games, could have imagined. The plays were run with rare coordination, indomitable driving force and all fundamental details were almost beyond clrticism. Stronger opposition would prob ably have shown defects but the conclusion is not to be escaped that Princeton figures to give Yale a much more vigorous gnme of football next Saturday than seemed likely before the Harvard debacle. Princeton Btarted right In to score on Harvard.

In the first quarter on the sixteenth play of the period she got the ball on her 20-yard line and walked straight down the field for a touchdown. The gains came from rutin InalHp of the tackles by Dignan. Caulklns ana aiagje mainly, and forward passes with various backfleld men throwing Hie ball, to the ends and backs.

Despite the overwhelming superiority of the visitors, tliey had to battle every iwch of the way. The winged warriors, though virtually smothered liy the speed of the Saints, fought doggedly and tackled fiercely frequently spilling plays behind the line of scrimmage. Joe Kropp, at end, and Bill Cplan, tackle, were stumbling blocks to the attack of the collegians throughout.

From there on came the most exciting plays of the encounter, with St.

Mary's furnishing all the excitement. The fray, before this, was as fast as one would imagine could be humanly possible, but, with less than five minutes to go, the collegians rocketed through the air nndnround the flanks of the desperate and tiring clubmen for two more touchdowns. Multnomah kicked off after Its touchdown, "Cowboy" Sjnith receiving the ball on the 16-yard line, carrying it back 18 yards.
