told mo United Press Inlcrnation
al Coaches' "walling wall" today,
"There wasn't that much differ
ence between the two teams," he
said. "We had a few breaks and
capitalized on them. We hardly
' nail our hands on the ball in the

pie of touchdowns and were able

thought we'd be able to stay on

hadn't worked on our offense, so

to start playing two of them,

Meet Tough
PCC FoesL
By ALEX KAHN
United Press International
LOS ANGELES (UPI) UCLA
and Southern California today
looked ahead uneasily at their
weekend foes, fearful that their
efforts at getting back into win
ning form may be sidetracked.
Acting, head coach Bill Barnes
of UCLA said he expected Wash
ington to be in a vengeful mood
after being upset by Stanford
while Coach Don Clark of South
ern Cal said California was "lay
ing" for the Trojans.
The two coaches expressed their
fears Monday before the Southern
California Football Writers Asso
ciation and disclosed new strategy
in their efforts to get back on the
winning side.
"We. feel Washington is a strong
team, Barnes said, t urns show
that they should have beaten Ohio
State. And we understand the
Huskies great Luther Carr, will
be ready for us.
lhe former Tennessee star said
he was installing a flanker on
UCLA's single-wing formation ap
parently in an, ellort lo strengthen
lhe Bruins' aerial attack. UCLA
took- to the air in the Florida
game and gave the Gators a
scare by' completing 11 straight
passes. .
On the more cheerful side,
Barnes reported that aside from
cserve tailback Bill Kilmer the
Bruins should be in better shape
for Washington than they were
for California.
Clark's change at Southern Calr
ifornia will be ,to shift end Hillard
Hill to halfback lo capitalize on
is speed and spirit.
"We need a hllle more of thai
spirit in our backfield," ' Clark
said. "Hill is a very quick, tough
kid with a lot of personal pride
about not "letting anyone push
him around.
Clark lauded the Oregon team
that whipped his squad at Port
land as being better than their
Rose Bowl team of last year.
But he said four fumbles and an
interception probably cost them
any chance of a win.

Curtice, who is a second Bob

when he loses, was quite contrite
about the Washington victory.
"It just proved that if you stick
with American kids long enough
they will come through," he said.
"Even when we took those three
terrible lickings, they never gave
up. And you would think our boys
might have tossed in the towel
when Washington marched for a
touchdown the first time it got the
ball against us. .
"But they didn't. They Just
stayed in there and fought all the
way. We. win one game and the
kids want to carry me off the
