CALIFORNIA'S Golden Bears swept upward into the gridiron heavens yesterday higher than they have been at arty time since the "Wonder Teams" and they did it off the magic toe of Benny Lorn and the cracking shoulders of a squad of fighting fools.

Heroes were made today when Tech's lor naiin after six lean years of battling against the Irish of Notre Dame, defeated rvnui Rnrkne's eleven. 13 to 0, be fore a roaring crowd of 35,000 And after taking everything tha Trojan power plan had, without flinching, the Bear smashed back and.lt smashed so hard that only the crack of the timer's pistol, ending the fray, saved this Trojan power machine from the wOTSt upset it has suffered in years. California played better football and harder football than the Trojans did in the last half, an when the game ended it was not a Trojan, but it was Irvine Phillips ot California whb slammed his head-gear to the ground and stamped angrily from the field. "Nibs" Price proved himself a football Napoleon yesterday. He met every shot Howard Jones had with a de-' fen.se as carefully prepared and as effective in the savage tackling of bis Bear players, aa any defense local fans seen for many seasons; and when the Trojans had exhausted themselves In marches that stabbed brilliantly into the CaUfornia line and then feU flat whenever they became dangerous, bis counter attack opened and was halted, both times by the gun at half-time and at the end of the game.

It was an unbeatable combination of (he toe of Benny Lorn the most savage, relentless tack Southerners. The Southern conference champions of 1927 scored in the first a i mnklntr their UI1U imai i first touchdowns by smashing over fro mthe Notre uamei uiree-yiu line after two long passes had put the ball there.

The game was played under a bright Dixie sun, with enough touch of autumn lntheair to make It Ideal football weather.

Three times during the game tha Trojan tackle attack looked aa though It had found its stride, and the southern cohorts, were roaring for a score, and on every occasion California's tackles and ends closed in on the attack and hammered Williams, Saunders and Duffleld back on their heels.

And when the split tackle offensive failed and the Trojans resorted to the air a weapon that bad beaten 'the St. Mary's team a week ago, when the manning attack failed, the Trojans fonnd the California backfield covered like a circus tent, and their whole aerial offensive wilted under the ground covering habits of Benny Lorn, Barr and Roy Blegels.

In spite of the fact that there was no score recorded, tks din that filled the gigantic California Memorial Stadium would do credit to any Big Game.

There "were a few bare spaces in the great squad, probably a thousand seats in all, but the crowd on Tightwad hill easily brought the crowd to 80,000. as The Trojans lacked a good passing attack and Californlans took hearh every time the warriors of Troy forced their way Into Bear territory and then resorted to passes. If "Dynamic" Don Williams had continued his running playa at the' flanks, and his cut backs through the. center of the Bear line, the results might have been different. a In mldfleld, Williams and Saunders broke through repeatedly for gains, but within the California 86-yard line, 'the Trojans altered their attack and attempted to.

Williams took a terrible beating all through the game and time out was called a dozen times to enable On black-haired Trojan Mercury to regain his composure. a Benny Ixm, besides his ball carrying, helped the Bears out of several tight places with his punting.
