Waldorf Regards
Stanford Game
As Crucial Test
By Ha) Wood
(United Preiu SporU Writer)
San Francisco, Nov. 21 (IP)
The big build-up for the "big
game" got under way in earnest
today with Coach Lynn (Pappy)
Waldorf of California's undefeat
ed, United Bears proclaiming Sat
urday's Cal-Stanford- game a
toss-up.
Although Stanford has been
beaten three times and tied once,
Waldorf said:
"Anything can happen in this
game, and usually does. It's a 50
50 battle and the breaks will de
cide it."
The uslially-pessimistic Bear
coach did pretty good, at that, in
admitting his team had a 50-50
chance; Most times he thinks his
club should be the under-dog.
(They'll probably be about 13
point favorites ir. this one.)
Scouts Impressed
"Our scouts are mightily im
pressed with Stanford's recent de
velopment," said Waldorf. "They
have a good passing attack; there
is no better receiver in the coun
try than end Bill McColl, and the
scouts say that the Indian attack
is getting better all the time."
The game means just about
everything to California and.
nothing to the Indians except
the pleasure of knocking off the
champions. If the Bears win it
will: (1) Give them their third
perfect regular-season in a row;
(2) Make possible their third
straight trip to the Rose Bowl;
(3) Extend their regular-season
victory string to 34, and their this
year's record to 10-0-0.
If they lose, most of those
marks will fall by the wayside
possibly including the Rose Bowl
invitation. Because if Washington
wins its game there will be a
great hue and cry to send the
Huskies to Pasadena, because
Washington will have won one
more game in the PCC than have
the Bears.
Stanford Gloomy
However, Stanford let out big
yowls of fear about what the
big bad Bears might do to them.
"California has a super football
team," Coach Marchie Schwartz
says, adding that his scout, assis
tant coach, Dutch Fehring, had
told him that California has "the
best team he ever saw."
To get back to the California
side of it, Waldorf retorts that
his scouts told him this:
"In Russ Pomeroy, Stanford
has the best line-backer on the
coast. And in Bill McColl, they
have the second-best linebacker
on the coast."
Of course, most competent au
thorities believe that California,
in Les Richter, has the west's
finest line-backer.
Let's see now. Where were we?
Pear Bowl Game
Set at Medford
San Francisco, Nov. 21 (IP) Joe
Verducci, coach of San Francisco
state team that meets Lewis and
Clark of Portland in the Pear
Bowl at Medford on Thanksgiv
ing day, said today that he ex
pected a rough afternoon.
"Scouts tell me that Lewis and
Clark has a back named Rubin
Baisch, a 200-pound candidate for
little all-American, who is one of
the best ball packers around,"
said Verducci.
The little coach said he and his
squad would leave for Medford
via plane on.Tuesday. The Gators
will be handicapped by injuries to
halfback Rudy Smith, quarter
back Tom Riper and tackle Bob
Williamson.
WRENS TAKE OVER
Taylorsville, Pa. U"i A nest of
wrens halted a roofing operation
for a month. Workers discovered
the nest and four eggs when they
started the job. They turned else
where for work until the eggs
hatched.

The same teams formed the top

By Oscar Fraley
(United Pna Sooru Wrlttr)
New York. Nov. 21 IlPi The
intense bitterness developed dur
ing the lour-year professional
football war still bubbled brisk
ly today as Earle (Greasy) Neale,
coach of the Philadelphia Eagles,
emphasized that he "odesn't want
the Cleveland Browns to win ' the
pro title.
I don't want the other league
to make us look bad," Neale ad
mitted frankly. ,
All of . vsihch is core evidence
of the smouldering antagonism
between the four survivors from
the late all-America conference
and the nine teams they loined
in Being ausorued by tne fictional
league. :
Animosity Recalled
Previous indications that when
the two leagues burled the hat
chet it was In somebody's back
came from the recent embrogllo
between the former AAC Cleve
land Browns and the old NFL
Chicago Cardinals, as well as In
tne increasing number of injuries
this year.
Mickey McBrlde. owner of the
Browns threatened to withdraw
his team from the league after
the Cardinal ruckus but all was
smoothed over. And the increas
ing number of injuries is blamed
on tougher competition, although
most injuries seem to come out
of contests between teams which
originally were in the rival lea
gues. A case in point Was that
seven members of the former
AAC New York Yankees went
to the infirmary after Sunday's
battle with the old NFL Los
Angeles Rams. . " -r
The old NFL teams naturally
would hate to see the Browns,
four-time kings of the erstwhile
AAC, walk In and take over the
NFL championship In their first
year. It would make it too evi
dent that the national leaguers
were off base when they sneered
at the AAC while it was In action
and refused to meet the AAC
winner in a world series.
, Neale apparently still Is fum
tne. too. because his culb won the
NFL titW the past two years
and the Browns dusted off the
Eagles handily in this season's
opening game.
Crossed Ud Twice :
"Steve crossed the Browns uo
twice." Neale commented with
satisfaction as he recalled the
two time9 in which Steve Owen's
New York Giants bested the
Browns this season. v "But this

week end we cut each other's

We'll do everything we can to
win the game from the Giants,
but If I can't win the champion
ship, there's nobody I'd rather
see win it than Owen. Naturally,
I don't want the Browns to win.
"I've got no love for Ohio."
commented Neais, who wasn't re
ferring' to the Cincinnati Reds
with whom he played against the
Chicago White Sox in the 1919
world series scandul.
Red Strader. coach of the for

said he was "surprised" by
Neale's remarks but admitted
cautiously that he "had heard"
of Cleveland inferences that the
