Los Angeles XU.R) UCLA's

tion's top grid team was . indi
cated today in Pacific Coast
Conference statistics that show
ed the Bruins, though first in
only one individual rating, cap
tured eight of the 10 team de
partments.
With only one game remain
ing to be played by a conference
team, Southern California vs.
Notre Dame, UCLA led in every
team department except pass of
fense. In individual statistics,
however, the Bruins led only in
punt returns. . .
California won the team pass
offense with a 172.4 yard game
average, while Oregon won the
pass defense with 91.9 yards.
California set a new confer
ence mark by compiling a 61.0
per cent completion record, sur
passing the former national rec
ord of 57.5 per cent Illinois,
1952. The Bears completed 139
of 228 passes for 1724 yards and
10 touchdowns and had only 12
intercepted.
New Defense Record :
UCLA also set a new confer
ence record.. In defense, the
Bruins allowed opponents only
659 yards rushing in nine games
for an average of 73.3 yards per
contest. The old record of 715
yards was set by Southern-Cal
ifornia in 1943 in eight games.
UCLA came within four yards
of the national record of 69.9
yards per game set by Santa
Clara in 1937.
UCLA led the conference in
total defense with 189.8 yards
per game. Offensively, UCLA
led in rushing, 286.4 yards; kick
off returns, 20.2; pass intercep
tions, 28; and- team punting,
S7.4.

statistics, California's Paul Lar
son and Oregon s George Shaw
topped individual honors for the
conference. .
Larson won the passing title
with 125 completions for 1537
yards to 91 for Shaw with 1358
yards. Larson's completion mark
of 64.1 per cent smashed both
the conference and national rec
ord of 60.9 per cent set by Wash
ington's Don Heinrich in 1950:
Far behind the two leaders .was
John Brodie of Stanford with
81 completions for 937 yards.
