GLEI JH MEN'S OVER GAELS 13-7 IN GREAT UPSET Underdogs ' Trounce St. Mary's Wonder Team Line Stops Wedemeyer Los Angeles, Nov. 17 U.R) The University of California at Los Angeles turned in one of the biggest upsets of the 1945 collegiate football season today by defeating St. Mary's college's wonder team 13 to 7 before 90, 000 astounded spectators. Fourteen point underdogs to the St. Mary's team, UCLA yielded a first-period touch down on a fumble, then stormed back to win in the last minute of play. It was a great triumph for southpaw Ernie Case, UCLA quarterback, a war veteran who started slowly this year but im proved each game, reaching his peak today when he passed UCLA to its sensational victory. It was also a great triumph for the UCLA line which had consistently outplayed Its op ponents all year. The line play prevented the great Herman Wedemeyer, St. Mary's ail- American candidate from ex hibiting his passing wizardry. and the slippery Cordeiro from getting off his usual long runs. It was unheralded Brooks Diddle, who didn't get into the game until the final period, who sparked UCLA's 84-yard drive that put across the winning touchdown, with Biddle taking 16-yard pass from Case for the winning margin. Midway in the first period. Jock Boyd dropped a punt on his own 13 yard line and Schultz pounced on the ball. It took Wedemeyer Just two plays to score the first touchdown. He also added the extra point. Fumbles and pass Intercep tions held UCLA back, but St. Mary's made its only other real threat soon after when Wede mcycr took a lateral from Cor dciro passed to Schultz on the UCLA 25-yard line. Schultz dropped the ball but O'Connor i scooped It up and carried It to the UCLA eight. But UCLA's line braced and held. i After two great second half klckoff run-backs by Wede t meyer were nullified by penal ; tics, UCLA moved quickly to : score. Skip Rowland ran 49 ; yards with a Wedemeyer pass j and returned it to St. Mary's 36 yard line. I UCLA lost the ball on St. Mary's six yard line but after H. UTZ WEAR Wedemeyer punted out, Case flipped a pass to Solid on the St. Mary's 20 yard line and Solid went over unmolested. Steffen's try for extra point was wide.

Naturally all of us would like not being held back. supply and may continue to do be practical about your tires and motoring. This Is ilia Passenger tire quotas for November are 2,500,000. This is the same as it has been for the past several months. With a slight increase next month, it will mean that the entire yearly distribution will average one new tire per pas senger car. Now Let us see why YOU do not get tires. First, quotas are 'too small to meet the demand. Second, inventories in the hands of dealers ' are the smallest in history. The entire production of the rubber industry this month will do nothing more than fill backlog orders in the hands of manu facturers (more than 2 million) and the unfilled certificates in the hands of the public (more than 800,000). These have not been turned into tires be cause dealer stocks are virtually empty. Deliveries from manufacturers are two and three months behind. This is the complete story verified by offici als in the government agencies having to do with tire production and offici-bution. HERE IS WHAT YOU By all means continue the measures of tire ernment agency. They were and still are such fundamentals as careful driving avo inspected regularly.
