Cougars Upset California, 13 to 6 With Brilliant Aerial Attack SEWELL, STOVES ; THAT BEAT BEARS McQuary Scores For Losers In Fourth Quarter After WSC Fumble Recovered. By Jim Thomas ; Pullman, Wash., Oct. 4. UP) The passing arms of brilliant Billy Sewell and his under' study, Jay Stoves, carried the surprisingly stubborn Washing ton State college Cougars to a 13 to 0 football victory today over a University of California team that V'" outplayed In all but a few minutes of the battle. Starting with the first kick off in a driving rain, the crim son clad Staters swept down- field In a rush that carried to the California three-yard mark before fumble ended the threat. Neither team scored In the period, but from then on W. 8. C. definitely carried the fight to the Golden Bears Sewell engineered the first W. S. C. touchdown, a perfect ser ies of plays that took the ball from the W.S.C. 45 to the goal line. After returning a punt seven yards, Sewell flipped a bullet pass 13 yards to Fletcher on the California 30 and, In a fake man in motion play, shot an other to Susoeff on the Califor nia 14. Then, still with Sewell in the driver's seat, a fake pass formation let the W.S.C. star slice across for the score. Dyson placeklcked the extra point. Pass Pays Off In the third quarter Sewell was hurt returning a punt and his substitute Jay Stoves toon up the W.S.C. pitching task, passing from the California 13 yard line to quarterback Ken nedy who crossed . the line standing up just after California Coach Stub Allison had sent in a completely new team in an effort to stop the Cougar drive. Just before the end of the third quarter the Bear tackle, i. Herrero, recovered a fumble by W.S.C.'s fullback Lond-ia and for the first time in the game the Bears began a drive which recalled the, California team that beat St. Mary's last week. McQuary, California fullback, drove through the line for 18 yards and halfback Reinhard recovered his own fumble. As the final period opened Reinhard passed 10 yards to Dunn, Just missing a first down, and McQuary pushed it ahead a foot, making it first and four to the goal. The plunging McQuary went over In three tries and then failed in his attempt to add the extra point through a place kick, ending the scoring for the day with W.S.C. 13, Califor nia 6. Sewell Stars Bill Sewell, W.S.C. flash, was unquestionably the star of the game, engineering State's first touchdown and providing a constant threat while he was in the game. The plunging fullback, Mc Quary, and fleet halfback Jim Jurkovich were the outstanding Californians, but the W.S.C. line was cutting through and Jurko vich never had a chance to got away. He was knocked out shortly after Sewell left the game and missed most of the play In the third and fourtn quarters. Victory Earned In the statistics as well as on OPENS MONDAY!

E By Ned Llebmas Jackson county six-man foot ball got off to a flying start Fri day night ai seven teams repre senting as many "B" schools, paraded and played before large audience at the second an nual six-man football Jamboree held at the high school field. The East squad composed of teams from Phoenix, Jackson ville, and Talent, romped to a 27 to 12 decision over the West ern squad, composed of Eagle Point. Gold Hill, Rogue River, and Prospect. The West got off to a fine start when Eagle Point scored two touchdowns to Phoenix" none. The boys of Butte Creek were able to score the two mark ers mainly through the efforts of Jim Short, who went seventy five yards to pay dirt and then repeated later on in the second quarter. Jacksonville evened the count for the East In the second game when they accounted for 13 tal lies to Gold Hills' none. Bob Smith of the Indians provided the scoring punch when he re ceived a pass for the first score and ran for the second one. He also converted for one point. The third quarter was be tween Rogue River and Jack sonville. The Redskins, last year's state champions, were forced to play twice because Central Point could not partici pate. One of the big upsets of the evening occurred during this game when the battle went to a scoreless tie. The final encounter, and the one which really decided the final outcome of the Jamboree, was between Prospect and Tal ent. Bill Stack of Talent scored first when he scooped up a Pros pect fumble and ran for a touch down. Later in the game George Gleim scored when he reeled off 78 yards for six points. He then converted. The game end ed with Talent winning, 14-0. The four games were of 12 minutes duration with two six minute quarters comprising the game. Between halves the Talent. Phoenix and Jacksonville drill teams marched and were excep tionally well received by the crowd. ST.

UP) Heralding a possible return to gridiron greatness, Ohio State's 1941 machine smashed the vic tory hopes of a proud University of Southern California eleven and walked out of the coliseum, the roar of an amazed home town crowd echoing over the rim of the huge stadium, with the first and only Buckeye tri umph over a Pacific coast con ference team in 20 years. Rolling up five resounding touchdowns In the first three quarters of the game for a wal loping, stunning 33-0 victory, the under-rated mldwesterners handed the Trojans the worst whipping they received since Southern California became a major collegiate football power two decades or so ago. There was no fluke attached to any of the tallies. It was Just a grand display of power an.d more power as the Trojans, caught unprepared for this on slaught, wilted In the ends and tackles before the rush of the Ohio State ball runners. The Bucks stooped the first Trojan thrust in the early min utes of the game on their own 17-yard line and drove 83 blaz ing yards in nine plays. Before the quarter ended they pounded 80 yards in ten plays, and In the second period dupli cated this feat, yard for yard and play for play, to blast the ardent Trojan rooters numbered in this crowd of 60,000 shirt sleeved fans. Throttling the Southern Cali fornia running game with con summate ease, and sweeping the passers off their feet before they could get rid of the ball, the Midwestern windstorm added two more touchdowns in the third period. The other touch down was a pass, good for 48 yards. IDAH0T6IS TO Eugene, Ore., Oct. 4. (JP) In a pouring rain Oregon stopped the razzle dazzle of the Uni versity of Idaho grid machine foi a 21 to 7 victory here Friday night. Tommy Roblin, with less than tVee minutes of the game gone, cut over left tackle for 62 yards and was hauled down on the Vandal 11-yard line. Idaho was offside twice and with the help of the penalties Oregon made a first down on the one-yard line. Roblin scored. Early In the second period Mecham got away behind fine blocking and went 33 yards to score standing up. Bill Micklich and Howard Manson made seven in two tries and a bit of hlpper-dipper put Manson around end for 10. Manson tossed a pass that was ruled completed by Interference on Oregon's five-yard line. Coach Francis Schmidt's elev en went Into a spread that baffled the Webfoots and Mick lich scored in two plays.

Southern Oregon Conference W. L. Pet. Medford Ashland ....... Grants Pass .. Klamath Falls , 10 1.000 10 1.000 08 .000 00 .000 In their final game before the Klamath Falls "colossal" at Klamath Falls, October 17, Med ford'i Black Tornado opened de fense of their Southern Oregon conference crown with a hard- fought 19 to 7 conquest of a surprisingly stubborn Grants Pass eleven at Grants Pass Fri day night. Some 2,300 fans wit nessed the contest. The locals, able to score only once in the first half, displayed flashes of their Corvallis-game form in the third period to cross the goal line twice and clinch the contest, but it was a tough struggle all the way as the bat tling Cavemen provided far more opposition than was ex pected on the basis of their 20 to 0 loss to Ashland and their 6-6 tie with North Bend in pre vious tilts. A desperate passing attack in the fourth quarter, which was played entirely in Medford ter ritory, gave the Cavemen their lone touchdown. Little Johnny Gray, 140-pound left halfback, shot a beautiful 36-yard aerial ! down the center that Culver I Marshall, substitute end, flagged j over his shoulder as he stepped into the end zone. Roy Prosser, quarterback, added the extra point with a placeklck. Unable to gain consistently on the ground or through the air j in the first quarter, the Tornado ' finally moved to its first touch- j down in the later minutes of the ; second stanza after Fullback ; Jimmy Glenn recovered Full back Gene Allison's fumble on the Grants Pass 28-yard line. In eight plays, most of them stemming from the T-formation, the Tigers drove into the end zone, with Cato Wray scoring on a six-yard run off the Grants Pass left tackle. Hopkins con verted with a placeklck to make the score 7 to 0. On this drive, a forward pass from Wray to Steve Dippel gained 12 yards and placed the ball on the 15, from where dirt Jones, subbing at fullback for Glenn, picked up eight yards in two blasts at center and Dippel made one at the same spot. Midway through the third quarter the locals got their sec ond touchdown, on an aerial from Wray to Dippel, the play being good for 11 yards. Fine line-bucking by Jones again set up the scoring play, the fullback picking up nine yards in three tries after Wray returned a Grants Pass punt 14 yards to the Caveman 30. A 15-yard penalty against Grants Pass for unnecessary roughness aided the Tigers in tallying their third touchdown LEARN TO k BOWL DURING NATIONAL ''Learn To Bowl Week" OCTOBER 6-11 INCLUSIVE near the close of the third quarter. The penalty put the ball on the 18, and In four line smashes, sandwiched around a fiveyard pass from Wray to Stead, Jones carried it across. Hopkins failed to convert after both third-period touchdowns. As usual, the Tornado line turned in an excellent defensive performance, holding the Cave men to a net gain of three yards from rushing plays. However, the Tigers showed a weakness against passes, as the Cavemen completed 10 out of 25 for 141 yards. Medford made an even 100 yards on running plays and SO on passes giving them a slight statistical advantage in the mat ter of total yards gained. The downfield blocking was not so good, as none of the backs made more than 11 yards on any single play. Glenn was Medford's best ground-gainer, with 48 yards in nine carries, while Jones was next with 35 yards in 12 tries. The Tigers will remain idle this week.
