NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer COLISEUM, Los Angeles, Not. 1 (AP) In the greatest, most .spectacular upset this stadium has eer trembled to, California's "under-rated Bears 'smashed their war to leadership of the Pacific . Coast conference today with a nerre-tingling .15-7 victory over the strongest eleven ever assem- bled under the colors of Southern . California. ; , Some - 7 9,9 00 persons jammed into this huge bowl could scarce- ' ly, believe their eyes as a favored Trojan squad was battered to .pieces by a California team pf smashing . power and unrivalled defensive play. ' California's triumph left it as nndisputed leader of the. confer. ence and winner over one of Its greatest rivals. California still-has three con ference games to play. Two should prove easy victories but a great battle is assured in the third, which pits the Bears against their oiaest conference' rivals, 'Stan ford's Cardinals. Trojan Forwards Are Carried Out Scorning the vaunted all round power of their. Southern Califor nia rivals, the Blue and Gold stal warts got down to business with the opening kick off. Before their tremendous rushes, the Trojan forward wall that held Stanford so effectively last week, crumbled ioday as though built 6! paper. f Southern California's famed I four man interference bounced I back or tumbled like ten pins before an almost impenetra I ,ble defense. If the Trojans got i oftst the first line they bumped in- to att air tight secondary wall. ? : A southern California fumble 1 paved the way for the first touch- down. Music, fullback, started on a yard-making trip from his own 35-yard mark. At the forty-yard ' line he smashed into Griffiths, husky Bear halfback. The ball - bounded from Mustek's arms. Five players dove forit. When the scramble of legs and arms had been untangled, Halfback Grif fiths of California was using the 0 oval for a pillow. , Southern California ; Jinx Now Shattered - f :That ''break' broke the charm that heretofore had encompassed Southern California to make a team, impossible to score upon. An alert Bear eleven saw and seiz- "ed its chance. Lorn banged the line, for gains of two yards, then three yards. .On the the next play he shot a, pass to Eisan that netted 14 yards and a first dowa on the Trojans 22-yard mark. Griffith contributed his "bit" with a sizzling dash around left end, after shaking off two tack lers. When he, dropped, he drop ped a scant seven-yards from goal. G11L fullback, took up. the bur den; got his head down and bored through for nearly four yards to stop three inches from the line. On the next play he drove over. 'Griffiths sent the ball sailing be tween the uprights with a place kick. Luu Gets Away for Touchdown After Penalty An offside penalty sent the Bears back to their own 15-yard Una., 'i he crowd looked for a kick and got it, mentally, as the bril liant Lorn broke loose and weaved down a Broken field for the sec ond tonehdown. For 15 yards his flying cleats dug into the Coliseum's turf. Skirting left end first, he cut in toward the center of the field, then came - back along the side lines dodging tacklers and bowl ing them over in the dash.' It was a run as thrilling as any on coast gridirons this season. Beckett's place kick try for point was wide Shortly before the half "ended, California added two more points tnrougn a safety, Whipped into a frenzy by the tongue lashing passed out by Coach- Howard Jones during the intermission-- the Trojans . came I back for the third - quarter to sweep the Bears before them.

We hadn't teen him doing anything like that, a we figured me zuu pound man ne was play ing opposite kept him out of there and in the story indicated as much. A few days later we learned tbe truth; on account of Ida ho's nnnsnal system, . Coach Keen had given Jonee differ ent instructions from those gen. orally banded oat to a tackle, and he was filling his assign, nient to the letter. Like the rest of the boys, Keith reads the pa pers, and we wouldn't be sur prised If he felt a bit hart. But we're not a bit sorry, be cause Jones was all over Pacific's backfield Saturday, and If he did if just to show us, that's O. K. He feil on the ball back of Pacif ic's goal line for' Willamette's first touchdown, and he Mocked the punt that resulted In the sec ond one. But Saturday's big hero was Johnny Steetbanimer, who is sonictning like a tnlrtf string end on the Willamette squad. What did he do? Near the end of the last period, Johnny came tearing in and Just about pull ed a Pacific man to pieces. This fellow was trying to pass; Johnny made him' drop the ball, and then fell on it. Then a little later, Johnny went down under a pass, charged in among three Pacific men who were grabbing at the ball, batted it around with them and finally emerged with it in his possession. In both of those feat3, the tall Southern California scoring: touchdown, Moses (substituted for Mustek). Points after touch down Baker substitute for Bar ragar) place kick. Ashland 11 Ties With Monmouth MONMOUTH, Nov. 2. (Spe cial) The Oregon Aormal and Ashland Normal football teams battled to a scoreless ie here to day, leaving unsettled the ques tion of gridiron supremacy which looms as the major interest at both of these schools each year. The local team came nearest to scoring, working the ball down to Ashland's one yard line in the third quarter, there to be held for downs, after which Ashland punt ed to safety. Though devoid of scoring, the game was replete with thrills, the first being a 60 yard run by Jones of O. N. S. one minute after the game opened. The remainder of the first period was marked by numerous attempts at aerial threats on the part of both teams, none proving effective. In the second period, the ball waa kept close to midfield, with no advantage for either team. After the locals threat in the third period, the .final quarter was again featured by repeated for ward pass attempts. In all, Mon mouth completed eight passes out of 20, Ashland three out of Cwelve. . Monmouth made ten first downs to Ashland's nine. Hines, negro halfback on the Ashland team, was the outstand ing player of the day. Lineups: j - - Monmouth Ashland Gordon LE.. PruRt Rasmussen .... LT. . . . . Johnson Amundsen .....

LINFIELO WALLOPED BY IDAHO COYOTES CALDWELL, - Ids, Nor. 2 (AP) The College of Idaho Coy otes out-charged the Wildcats of Linfield college here today to win a 2 to e victory. It was the first northwest conference victory for the : coyotes In. three games played and the third straight de feat for the Wildcats. Idaho was unable to score in the first half, chiefly because of numerous penalties, bat In the second half the Coyotes - settled down to football and ran up two touchdowns in Joe third quarter and two mora In the final period. unfield made a threat for a touchdown in the final two min utes of the game with a forward pass attack which carried the ball to the ten yard line.

I "We're strong for Justice, and probably a little outspoken about it. When a team we're xn the habit of supporting gets m break through a bad decision, It - hurts as. We were pleased to see a set of officials handle Saturday's game who were ap parently all picked by Coach Frank of Pacific, and It's cer tain that Willamette didn't get any breaks of that kind. It was penalized 65 yards to Pacific's 45, and the penalties against Willamette came when the game was tough, while those against Pacific came after It was all settled. Fact Is, we though Willamette was being penalised every time it made more than a five-yard gain. This much we do know, that Gretsch had the ball a foot over the line, the time is was ruled that Willamette lost on downs, four inches from the goal. We were right on the line and could see the ball yhen it stopped. The referee couldn't. On the "other doubtful play, maybe French did step out of bounds before he crossed the goal; we were on the wrong side of the field to seejthat, But it's safe to say that Will, amette won without any help from the officials. Maybe we're still a bit hot un der the collar, but we. appeal to you, is It right, after Pacific sent delegation over to Willamette with an olive branch and a Dledce of sportmanship, for a Pacific man to try to steal the ball after it was down? JUST BROKE EVEN. The .reason the mourning is way1 down here is because there were so many football games on the wire that some of them didn't get in until late. Guess everybody else was as badly fooled as were on California's upset victory.

Neither team showed much in the way of bril liance. Billy Relnhart, who handled the reins for Oregon while Coach John J. McEwan scouted the Ore gon State-Washington State game at Portland, ordered all trick plays shelved soon after the op ening gun. . Oregon's first string was soon withdrawn from the contest and Johnny Kitzmiller, the Webfeet's chief offense. watched the game from the bench. Robinson, halfback, got into the contest long enough to score one touchdown when he snared a forward pass in the -last period and loped across the Ucla goal. Reserves Show Strength On Offensive Drive Oregon's reserves showed great offensive power at times. Johnny Londahl, Kltzmiller's un derstudy, tore off long gains. The Webfeet took advantage of most opportunities to score, but the Bruins passed up two easy chances when they muffed passes that should have gone for touchdowns. Oregon scored soon after the game started. George Christen Ben, powerful Webfoot tackle, re covered a fumble on the Ucla's 20 yard line. A series of line bucks and Harold Hatton's 12 yard run put the ball over. Londahl con verted. The Webfeet scored again in the second period after the Bru ins had forced their way to Ore gon's 20 yard line. Londahl broke away and was not stopped until he had covered 52 yards. Londahl and Hatton Take Turns Running Londahl and Hatton then tore off a series of short gains and Charley Spear went through cen ter for a touchdown. Londahl failed to convert. Several times In the third per iod the Oregonians were hard pressed. The Uclas drove them deep into their own territory and Reinhart sent in two regulars to I hold the offensive. A touchdown seemed imminent, but Leonard wenenaorf murred a perfect pass from Simpson and the Bruins' most serious threat was ended. Two more touchdowns were added by Oregon in the fourth period, one by Robinson, and the other when Wally Shearer, a third string sub, crashed six yards through right guard after the Webfeet had banged their way up the field.

The Washington State college football eleven put In a sincere claim for the northern section Pacific coast conference cham pionship when it conquered the Oregon State college combination, 9 to 0. The Washington State goal line was threatened on sev eral occasions but timely intercep tion of Oregon passes by the wide awake Cougars stopped the Bea ver thrusts. Washington Batters Way To First Period Goal Midway in the first period the Washington Staters started a power drive that carried them to the O. S. C. 37 yard line. Using only brute strength Ellingsen, Schwartz and Buckley took turns battering their way through the Beaver line. A W. S. C. off-side penalty gave Oregon hope and it braced for the next play. Instead of ramming at the line again. Archie Bucklev called for a forward pass. Elling sen dropped back 15 yards and shot a long spiral directly over the' center of the line. John Hur ley, flashy end, sneaked around the Beaver defense man and snared the ball in clear field. He romped ten yards to the Oregon State goal line for a touchdown before the safety realized what had happened. Goal From.

' ' With only five minutes left to play and the Oregon Staters throwing passes left and right in a desperate effort to break away from a touchdown, Elmer Schwarts intercepted a long spiral irom Tom Dryman for W.
