by virtue of having notched
more overall yardage, 304 to 207.
The Rangers will now play de
fending Class A-2 champ Prine

The passing of Del Kiggins and

Vickerman made more than 100
yards rushing, 63 coming via a
third period touchdown romp.

LOS ANGELES W The UCLA
football team reaches the end of
the road that branches off to the
Rose Bowl Saturday and the Bru
ins may discover the way blocked !
by the stalwart Trojans of South-!
era California. j
Upwards of 90.000 will be on
hand in Memorial Coliseum to
watch the Bruins try to hurdle
the final barrier, and many mil
lions more will see the affair over
a nationwide television hookup.
It will be up to the Bruins,
coupled with an event ready to
unfold 400 miles to the north at
Palo Alto, to decide the Rose
Bowl race.
The Trojans aren't going any
where much, being ineligible for
the bowl bid and having only a
slim chance of landing the less
renumerative Pacific Coast Con
ference title.
UCLA must whack their cross
town neighbors, and at Palo Alto,
California must unseat Stanford
from the driver's role, if UCLA
is to gain a clear claim to the
Rose Bowl honor.
The fireworks start with the
kickoff at 1:30 p. m. (PST, and
as the "Game of the Week." it
goes coast to coast on TV over
the National Broadcasting Co. net
work. The majority of experts pick
triple-threat star Paul Cameron
and his Bruin playmates to win.
Six points seems to be the gen
eral margin predicted.
A robust minority sticks with
the Trojan warhorse, confident
that its mainstays, such as quar
terback George Bozanic, left half
back Aramis Dandoy and the
others will make it two in a row
over the team across town.
The Trojans have stated the

WASHINGTON (J) President
Eisenhower and J. Edgar Hoover
said Happy Birthday to Clark
Griffith Friday, but their felicita
tions were no match for the mes
sage that came in from the Lone
Ranger.
More than 100 persons showed
up at Griffith Stadium to pay their
respects to the owner of the Wash
ington Senators as he observed
bis 84th birthday. The loudest
cheers, however, greeted the Lone
Ranger's message which included
some byplay about a fellow named
Jesse James.
"The 'Heigh Ho Silver fellow
long one of Griffith's favorites,
sent along a record which was
played before the assemblage,
complete with sound effects. After
wishing Griffith well, the cowboy
radio-TV hero announced:
"Tonto tells me that members
of his tribe have heard of your ex
perience with Jesse James, one
of the West i well -known outlaws.
And lawmen near Helena. Mont,
tell me about your marksmanship.
"Your career from frontiersman
to baseball' executive has indeed
been an inspiration to the youth
of America."
Griff, who was born Nov. 20,
1889, in the wild country near
Clear Creek,. Mo reciprocated:
"I'm thanksful for the word
from the Lone Ranger. He la my
guiding star as far as the world
of entertainment is concerned.
"I was raised out In Missouri,
you know, where Jesse James
comes, from. I remember I sad
dled his horse once."
Hoover, head of the FBI, was
on hand to give his personal lead
ership to the singing Happy
Birthday."
He was in fine voice, re
marked Griffith.
Eisenhower also sent along his
best wishes:
"I want to Join with. your many
friends in wishing you a day filled
with some measure of the happi
ness which, through your tireless
efforts on behalf of the game of
baseball, you have brought to mil
lions of Americans."
"You have my heartiest con
gratulations and my best wishes
for many years of continued ded
ication to that game which you
have already served so well."
"It was," a tired by happy
Griffith reported later, "the best
birthday I ever have had."
