' TTli ii i I California Wins Title, Rose Bowl HIGHCLIMBER Bid With 13-0 Win Over Stanford By DICK STRITE Pat O'Brien, 30, retired middleweight fighter, former ehamnion of the United States Army, winner of 332 fights. And this ruddy-faced Irishman was born, raised and lived most of his life with the exception of the three years he spent in the army in and around Lane and Douglas coun ties. Fat is married now ana PAT O'BRIEN While O'Brien was stepping into the ring for 342 matches besides his training work he was never floored once. The 10 matches he lost were all decisions. Probably Pat's most outstanding triumph was a 9th-round technical knockout scored over Ace Hudkins in Philadelphia in 1927. Fat won the army title In 1928 In Washington, D. C, where he knocked out "Sailor" Gorman In the third round of a sched uled 10-round match. lie defended his crown 10 times, knocking out Ace Bowers In the second round at Philadelphia, scoring a technical KO over Harry Bergstrom In the fifth round at Seattle, winning a 10-round decision over Harold Massey In Baltimore and then repeating with a fifth round KO. O'Brien la proud of a one-punch, 20-second KO scored over George Ollnger, Tennessee negro. After leaving the army, Pat remained In Mesa, Arizona, for a time and fought three top-notch ring-masters. He knocked out Tommy Jorgenson of Chicago in the fourth round, declsioned Tiger Fox, and won from Tommy Drake in one minute 14 seconds of the first round via KO route. He moved back to Elkton In 1030, and outside of a three-round KO of Harry Moore, who weighed 185 pounds, limited his talent to club fights In Albany, Corvallis, Snlem and Portland. The Irishman, who scored 116 knockouts in his comparatively ihort but colorful ring career, admits he fights "Dempsey killer" style. He attributes his success to his army coach Lt. R. V. Gayle, former Notre Dnme and West Point football and mitt star. O'Brien didn't confine his athletic interests to boxing. He played basketball, baseball and football In the army. The youthful looking and earnest-mannered"youngster" would like to fight some worthy opponent on a benefit card for the proposed community athletio field. He wants 30 days training, but will be willing to tangle with any middleweight.

Six thousand fans sat under the gloomy skies and howled hoarsely as three, periods passed without a score. Then in the fourth big Steve Belko, substitute fullback, drove through tackle for the lone tally and the crowd went wild. The touchdown came at the end of a 45-yard drive after an ex change of punts. Superiority in the line won for the Vandals as time and again the Idaho boys broke through to toss Lazetich for losses in end sweeps and held the powerful drives of Szakach dead. But win or lose, the undoubted Individual star of the game was Montana's one and only Popovich, who twice averted safeties against his team when he out-maneuvered driving Vandals behind his own goal line.

Some 85,000 shouting partisans of the great American college pastime sat throug a Golden Bears outfought their successive year and the first The big game," conceived in 1892 and now one of the notable pigskin classics of the country, coaxed out the largest crowd of the season as the two ancient gridiron foemen locked grips on a slippery field and under steady rain. Except for two slashing touch down thrusts in the second period, the undefeated Bears found the under-rated Indians formidable foes, fighting until the gun barked. Statistically Even Statistically, California was only slightly superior. A fairly even first period saw each team pound ing from its own territory. When the California power plant started spinning at top speed early in the second period, here s how the scoring took place: Left Half Vic Bottari and Fullback Dave An derson pounded the tackles on three plays for 13 yards and a first down on the 36-yard line. Ander son added four more straight through the line and Right Half Sam Chapman broke away on a thrilling run for. 18 yards and an other first down, which put the oval on the 42-yard stripe. Anderson plunged for 12 and 10 yards for two more first downs with the ball resting on the 20 yard marker. Chapman smacked through for five and Anderson carried it five yards on two tries for a first down on the nine-yard stripe. Chapman slashed off tackle for four, Ander son added one yard, and from the four-yard marker, Bottari broke through for the initial touchdown. It capped a 77-yard advance. Indians Desperate The Bears put the ball into play on their own 35-yard line after the kickoff and dipped into Stanford territory immediately on a 38-yard pass tossed by Bottari and snagged by Chapman. The latter cut back across the field In a brilliant run that' brought cheers from the crowd. Line bucks and a five-yard penalty against Stanford put the ball three yards from scoring turf. Chapman raced around right end to score, and added the extra point with a placekick. The Bears mov ed 65 yards on this drive. Before the second period ended, California again dipped deep into Stanford ground. It paved the way for a field goal try, but Chapman's boot from the 33-yard line and on a sharp angle, wobbled to one side of the uprights. Bob Herwig ail-American center played a brilliant defensive game. For the last two periods, Stan ford made desperate sorties into the California side of the field, outplayed the Bears yet could not score.

Nov. 20 Babe Hollingbery, Washingon State college coach, says that Charley Erb was the greatest quarterback he ever saw on the Pacific coast Erb helped to keep California unbeaten from 1919 to 21. even while California students were tearing down the goal posts and engaging in serpentine dances over the field, speculation started as to the team the Bears will in vite to oppose them at Pasadena, January first It was fairly definitely estab lished the visiting team would come from the eastern side of the Mississippi river.

" Outplayed and completely over shadowed at the outset by the Bruins' dusky combination of Kenny Washington and Woodrow Wilson Strode, the Mustangs from Texas began exploding late in the second period and didn't stop until the third. Trailing 13 to nothing, Coach Madison Bell's galloping herd cut loose with a tally in the second and rang up three more in the third before the befuddled Bruins could calm the visitors down. , The Uclans scored first on a long pass from halfback Washington to his end Strode, 33 yards away on the goal line. The next came on a sustained 82-yard drive with Gen eral Washington leading the way until he gave the ball to Billy Bob Williams, sub fullback, to score from the one-yard line.
