Negro Halfback of Uclans Starts Drive to Tie Staters 13 to 13 By By WASHINGTON GOES INTO ACTION AND TIES UPBATTLE Fourth Period Drive Thrills Kohler and Kisselburgh Ring Up Touchdowns. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 25. (p) Oregon S t a t e's battling men of orange all but knocked the University of California at Los Angeles out of the Rose Bowl running today, but a final minute touchdown drive set off by halfback Kenny Washington kept the Bruins in the ball game nd gave them a 13-13 tie, Traveling 82 yards in nine plays with one minute and one second to go, the embattled Bruins pulled the game out of the fire with the tying touch down, but failed to win when the try for the extra point went haywire. The Uclans, who now remain on the edge of the Rose Bowl picture with two ties In Pacific coast conference competition charged against them, scored first in the second quarter, but the Beavers tied it up before the half ended and moved Into a 33-7 load with a furious charge in the third period. With 50,000 fans almost spell bound as the minutes ticked away, Washington went into ac tion late in the fourth period Starting from the IB, he passed for 18 to end Woodrow Strode, for 20 to Don McPherson. and handed the ball to Leo Cantor on the next play. Tackled, Can tor latcralcd to Jackie Robinson, who went on for a total gain of 28. Washington whacked around right end for 18 to reach the 8, and on fourth down handed the ball to Cantor, who scored. The Bruins' initial touchdown came on the heels of a 91-yard parade, featured by Washington, nd scored when he flipped a 12-yard pass to quarterback Ned Mathews. Oregon State's Jim Kissel burgh, Morris Kohler and com pany burst back with 64 yards of earth passing beneath them, and Kisselburgh scored on a 17 yard lunge off his left tackle. In the third period, the orange Jerseys piled along 49 yards, and once again the patent Kis selburgh scored, this time on a wan dive over center. The first conversion was made, the sec ond missed, matching the Bruin's extra point kicking per formance for the dav. The result left UCLA with two conference ties and one non-conference deadlock with Santa Clara, while Oregon Stnte now has a tie and a detent charged against It. The two Oregon State touch downs followed brilliant runs by Morrie Kohler and the line smacking of Kisselburgh, Kohler each time turning in gains to put his mates in scoring dis tance. Highly-heralded Robinson of the Ilruins twice dashed for 30 yard gains, but Washington, de fensively as well as offensively was the big gun for the Uclans. Eacli team blew up on a scor ing chance. The Bruins In the first period pounded to the two yard line, and In the third the Benvers bounced Inside the Bruin 10. With the crowd In a frenzy and bare seconds to go, UCLA tried an onside kick. Oregon State recovered, dipped on down to the 47 but a fumble gave the Bruins the ball on the 33. With 20 seconds remaining Washington tried a long pnss to Robinson but It was incomplete and on the last play the lanky negro star reached midfield on wild gallop.

I Wl The mighty Trojans of ed as the western team won, 20 to 12, left the game with a feeling of awe at the spectacle. Awe for the sheer power of the white-clad giants from the west; awe for the spirit of an underdog Notre Dame team which never would admit it was licked. Four of the five touchdowns were scored In the last frenzied quarter when for a time it seemed t h a t the Impossible would happen; that the Irish youngsters, dwarfed by their white-clad foes, would steal tne game. The Irish continued their of fensive in the third period. Saggau was the mainspring in one drive which carried to the USC 14, where Lansdell's partially blocked punt had gone outside, and in the waning min utes Sheridan passed the Irish to the Trijan 6 after Mclntyre had intercepted a Lansdell pass and run it back to the USC 47. On the first play of the fourth period, Piepful, on a reverse from Sheridan slashed outside his left tackle to cross the goal standing up. His place kick tailed. The alarmed Trojans perked up at this, and Lansdell. after mme 42 started a personai offensive which culminated in his five-yard scamper around his right end for a touchdown. Bob Jones place-kicked the ex tra point. That set the stage for a smashing climax. USC had kicked out of bounds and it was Notre Dame's ball on its 33. A five-yard USC penalty brought it to the 40. He cut off his left tackle, suddenly saw daylight ahead, ana started scampering. He covered the 60 yards to cross the goal standing up. lliey wouldn't quit, those insn, and they threw caution to the wind, thus opening the gate for the clinching Trojan touchdown. YALE OUTSMARTS TO Cambridge, Mass.. Nov. 25.

STANFORD BEATEN BY BEARS 32-14 IN WILD BATTLE Palo Alto, Cal., Nov. 25. OP) In the wildest, most thrill filled game seen here this season, University of Califor nia's Bears overwhelmed Stan. ford's Indians, 32 to 14, today in tne 4oth football meeting be tween the two oldest collegiate rivals on the west coast. Some 60,000 thousand shout ing fans, sitting under gloomy skies, saw the latest renewal of a pigskin rivalry founded in 1892, end in sensational fash ion. Even before the game was over, California students were attacking the goal posts. They tore them down while the teams were trying to finish the match. Usually orderly undergradu ates of both schools battled for pieces of the goal posts, ex changed punches with abandon and generally rounded out near ly half a century of competi tion on the gridiron with the best free for all scramble ever seen here. The game Itself, Which result ed in Stanford claiming undis puted possession of last place in the Pacific Coast conference, was a one-sided affair with Cal ifornia holding practically every advantage. The Bears rushed over two touchdowns in. the second per iod, scored two more in the third and one more In the last quarter. Held scoreless for three per iods, Stanford countered with- a desperate passing and running attack in the last period for two touchdowns. It was the worst beating for Stanford in the annual "big game" since 1936. It could have been more one-sided, then again it could have been closer. Cali fornia lost a scoring chance in the first period after advancing the ball 46 yards to Stanford's 17 from the kickoff. In the last 'quarter, Stanford passed and had the ball intercepted on first down with four yards to go for a touchdown. Threatening weather, the switch in Thanksgiving day dates which lured students to their homes and the poor rec ords of the teams, combined to make the crowd the slimmest in years. Under better conditions it would have attracted a capac ity throng of 90,000. four feet from the goal. Sey mour had little difficulty pound ing over the points. 4.404.50-21 4.755.00-19 4.504.75 5.00-20 5.255.50-17 I J la -i-air U3L UUK BUUliLl m i Ret Salt YOU SAVE SIZE Price Pric t Tin 2 Ttm I Tirw '7.70 '5.78 M.92 '3.85 7.85 5.89 1.9S 3.92 8.20 6.15 2.05 4.10 I j 9.60 I 7.20 j 2.40 1 4.80 1 KING KONG READY FOR UN EVENT; FACES KENASTON King Kong Clayton, the ebony grappling streak from Birming ham, Alabama, has been fooling around in preliminary events ever since he hit this territory, and he is getting about ready to demand a main event shot. The flashy Negro goes against Sgt. Bob Kenaston in Monday night's Mack Lillard shindig in the armory, and if he succeeds in putting the screws to Gold Hill's tough guy he will ap proach the wrestling impressario and, in a nice way, suggest that he be placed in a top bout real soon. One of the finest all-around grapplers now working in south ern Oregon, Clayton is confident he can lick Kenaston. And, if he does, he sees no reason why he shouldn't be awarded a prize in the form of a main event match with anyone Lillard chooses. In Kenaston, the colored boy will be-facing a tough hurdle in, his drive to top billing. The Gold Hill crab and swivel expert is a mean performer in any league, and what Kenaston can't accomplish by fair means he tries to by foul. Clayton under stands this, however, and is prepared to throw up an im pregnable defense against all of Kenaston's off-color business. Ernie Piluso and Paul Bozell, both great wrestlers, will collide in the main event tomorrow evening, with the match rated a tossup in every respect. Piluso is the faster and more colorful of the pair, but Bozell will bring more pure power and a more potent payoff hold his Boston crab into the ring. Herb Parks of Vancouver, B. C, and Eddie Rogers of Michigan will tangle in the opener. Another Sprinter Newton, Kas., Nov. 25. (JF) G 1 e n n Cunningham, noted Kansas miler, became a father today for the second time.
