He should know because " the two of them did most of the pigskin packing tr.m 4t, -4K.1 .(..-.n. .rvr 1" . ast year. George says: "Smith seems off balance. His : : I i 1 7 . T v J F vt dead still to shake off a tackier and then start off at a new angle." Of course, Franck got around, too. Blazing speed did it for him. Trainer Lloyd Stein, who knows about football dating back to his Big Ten playing days, says Smith earns his rubdowns and tape quotas with "a shifty, stumbling style." He explains it: "From his hips up, he seems to be going in one direction and from his hips down seems to be going in another. A tackier gets confused. He hesitates. By the time he makes op his mind , to shoot or shout the target's gone. Bruce has given hint the old football one two a hip wiggle and a stiff arm; It's not so much that he's off balanee. He Jus seems to he hips all ever." The Smith system stole the show a few times last year. His fto-vsrd run that beat Michigan and Tommy Harmon was the top-lmer. But he was terrific in other games. On a wet field he ran Ohio State ragged. ?v You can't trace his unorthodox style to prep day track, because hi ' home town school had no track team. It's Just one of those things and what a thing. He got tds football sturl the orthodox way. His father, At torney Laclan Smith, -was a standout Minnesota guard 22, years ago.

Coach L. T. "Buck" Shaw's smooth-operating outfit first rang the touchdown ben midway in the third period. Kenny Casanega, shifty Bron- eo left halfback, had returned a Pnt SS yards through the en tire California team only to be nailed fear yards front the goal by Quarterback Glen Whales. Fullback Joe TlsalU took the ball on the next thrnst but the pigskin shot oat of his hands over the end zone, ending the threat But next time, Sasanega went the whole way. He took Bob Rein hard's punt on his own 33-yard line, cut to the left and behind beautiful blocking ran 67 yards down the sidelines to score. A conversion : placekick by Left Tackle BUI Braun was blocked and the Broncos were ahead, 6 to 0, California had its chance at the start of the final period, ad vancing into Bronco territory for the first time for their Initial first down, but tossed passes wildly and lost the ball on downs on the Santa Clara 25. That was the Bears only threat The Broncos tallied again midway In the final period when Center: AI Saataeet who layed a bang-up St-minute game, intercepted Bill Keln hard's sharp pass est Califor nia's 17 and raced nnhampered to the goal. Braun's conversion this time was good, making it Santa Clara 13, California 0. That aided the scoring. The big Santa Clara forward wall had the! Bears stumped all afternoon. California used only a few standard shots at the line most of the game and unleashed the closest , thing to an offense only after a. miserable three quarters.
