Bronco's Victory
Over Nevada IV
Held Great Feat
By Hal Wood '
(United Press Spprti Writer)
San Francisco, Nov. 9 ui'i
Scouts and coaches on the west
coast today termed Santa Clara's
140 upset victory over Nevada
Sunday at Sacramento "the most
perfect coacning Job" on the Pa
cific slops in recent years."
For ethical reasons, they refus
ed to be quoted, but they all were
enthusiastic in tnolr statement
that the defensive pattern that
Len Casanova and his Bronco
coaching1 staff had perfected
against the great Stan Heath's
passes "were a thing of beauty to
waien.
"It was one of the most Derfeet
examples of a coach taking ad
vantage of a scouting report and
having everything click just the
way it was written down on
paper, said one scout.
Broncos Underdoes
For the important tilt, in which
the Broncos .Were at least three-
touchdown underdogs against the
unueteateu woupack, Casanova
and his assistants set up a 5-2-2-2
defense, sometimes alternating
this with a 5-4-2 and even once
a 5 4.
' The result was that Heath's re
ceivers were so well covered that
even when they caught the ball
they were nailed in their tracks
lor negligible gains.
casanova -saw tnat he set up
the offensive with five new plays;
and that his three assistants, Jack
Roche, Herm Meister' and Eddie
Forrest, planned the defense.
"We used only about eight dif
ferent plays during the whole
game," said Casanova. "They
clicked so well that Al Martin,
who did a whale of a job in quar
terbacking, just stuck with
them."
Weakness Found
Two of the plays that Casanova
set up for his offensive took ad
vantage of glaring weaknesses
in the Nevada line. Through holes
at the Nevada right tackle and
left guard, he poured his ball
packers more than 50 times dur
ing the afternoon. -
Each play averaged nearly five..
.varus per try ana mars wnere
the Broncos piled up the maloritv
of their 312 yards from scrim
mage.
"I devised slow-count plays,"
said Casanova," specifically to
keep control of the ball. I figured
that if we limited the number of
times Heath could throw that
ball, we'd have a better chance to
win."
How good the strategy worked
is revealed in the statistics that
show the Broncos had the ball 45
minutes of the game and the
Wolfpack only 15 minutes.
Nevada Scouted
Casanova said his men scouted
Nevada in three games and figur
ed they could stop the running
attack but were dubious about
those Heath passes.
"But along about the third
quarter, when we still were in
front 14-0," he said, "I finally
tumbled to the fact that the
great defense was working and
that we had a good chance to
win."
Heath completed 15 passes out
of 38 attempts, good for 113 yards
or about 30-per cent of the us
ual gain he had been making per
game.

Boston, Nov. 9 IB As a result
cf their exhibition bout at the

The Bears were put through a
fast, hard scrimmage session
with a defensive squad putting up
stubborn resistance. With the
squad cut back to 25 players, all
of them took part in the scrim

ule for Wednesday before leaving
for Klamath Falls. The team will
stay In Klamath Falls Wednes

Records About Equal
Records of the two teams this
season are about equal and it is
not possible to establish a pre
game favorite from the results
of games played. Both teams
have the same won and lost to
tals. ,The Pelicans' six victories in
clude: Klamath 2G, Salem 0; Kla
math 50, Ashland 6; Klamath 20,
Springfield 6; Klamath 2-3, South
ern Oregon frosh 6; Klamath 20,
Boise 19; Klamath 31, Longvlew
The Klamath team's only two
defeats came from two of the top
teams of the state, Grant high
school of Portland and Medford.
Grant scored a 13 to 12 victory
over Klamath at the opening of
the season and Medford took a
27 to 7 win.
Bears Win Six
Bend also has a record of six
victories and two losses, the vic
tories being from Redmond, Cor
vallls, Eugene, Springfield, Sa
lem and Prineville and the loss
es being Medford and Albany.
Both teams are fairly high
scoring outfits. In its eight gam
es the Bruins have amassed 159
points to 66 by their opponents.
Klamath has scored a total of 164
points while holding the opponents-
to 78.

BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER
Sport Parade
By Oscar Kraley
(Unlu-d Prat Spurts Writer)
New York, Nov. 9 UPi Portly
Bob Hlggins, coach of the unde
feated Penn State football team
which put the skids to Pennsyl
vania, isn't thinking today of chal
lenging Michigan, Notre Dame,
Army or California for mythical
national honors.
"We were fortunate," Higgins
explained In recapping his team's
130 triumph over the previously
undefeated Quakers. "We are not
a topnotch football college."
Higgins aoted slightly dazed,
like a man who put his head in a
lion's mouth and got away un
scathed. This despite the fact he
also had an undefeated team last
year.
"All I have to do to bring my
self down to earth, Is remember
1946," Hlggins .cautioned. "We
went to Pittsburgh and Pitt beat
us. After the game I felt low and
thought I'd call my wife but I
didn't have a nickel see, don't
ever be a football coach.
"Well, a fellow walked by with
a face as long as a rainy Sunday
so I knew he was a Penn State
man and I asked him if he had a
nickel, telling him I wanted. to caH
a friend. The guy fished Vut a
coin, tossed it at me and growled:
" 'Here, Higgips, here's a dime.
Call both of them.' " " ,.
When the winners cry, what
can you expect from the losers.
Take Lou Little of Columbia,
for instance, who was at least
original.
Lou's team fell before Dart
mouth by a meager five' points
with Columbia threatening as the
clock ran out.
Little blamed it alt on a dull
Dartmouth lawn mower.
"Our center went to pass the
ball and his hand caught In the
grass," Little wept.
Ed Danowskl, whose Fordham
team was Boston university's
most recent victim, did his moan
ing about the officials always
standard practice for coaches
when nothing else is handy.
"On one play a Boston univer
sity end was at least three yards
off side," the former pro star said.
"I asked the umpire, very politely,
If he didn't like the color of our
jerseys."
The umpire's reply was suc
cinct: "Fifteen yards!" . . .
The Los Angeles Dons had Just
bootetr"' the o p e n i n g. kickoff
against the Yankees' when the
public address system played the
national anthem. With the ball
still In the air, all 22 players froze
motionless. When the anthem
ended, Jimmy Phelan of the Dons
rushed triumphantly up to the
field judge and chortled:
"Try to find that one in the
rule book!"
HARD TO FIND
