Stanford Is Victor Over S J Indians Stanford, Calif. (U.R) Stan ford wrapped up San Jose State, 34-18, Saturday in a loosely played game before a crowd of 33,000 . which included a group of Russian newspapermen who had enough after the first hall. The Soviet scribes departed with the Indians riding on a 27-0 cushion, thanks to the passing of quarterback John Brodie. But the Russians missed all of San Jose's scoring because of their impatience. It was Stanford's 12 victory in 13 tussles with its neighbor ing downstate foe who sscored a 19-14 upset last season. But yesterday's edition of the Spar tans was a weak carbon copy of last season's, except for a trio of flare-ups in the last half. Stanford really rolled when Brodie was in charge. He pass ed for one touchdown, set up two others with fine passes and engineered his team on a 66 yard drive for a fourth. Tony Teresa, shifty split-T op erator who was the key man in Stanford's downfall last year, was the fall guy for two of the Indians' scores this time. ; Malin Hands Merrill 20-7 Defeat Friday Malin defeated Merrill 20 to ?

The Bruins took to the air much of the game with their best passing effort of the year as they completed 16 out of 26 for 265 yards and scored in every period, although Coach Henry (Red) Sanders used al most every man on the bench. With first string fullback Bob Davenport injured on the first play from scrimmage, Doug Pe ters took over and scored twice on short plunges. The publiciz ed passer, Ronnie Knox, also scored twice on the ground, set ting up his scores with passes but making the touchdowns on the ground. The closest California came to a score was when End Dick Hartman picked up a ball he thought was still in play and raced 90 yards only to be called back. California's only effective weapon was the punting of Guard Don Gilkey who averaged about 40 yards on nine boots to make UCLA march further for its scores.

Sees Probe Likely Rosewall refused to talk to Kramer when he came here this week in a last-ditch effort to sign the two Davis Cup stars. Kramer looked drawn and weary after three days of futile negotiations with Hoad. "If people figure Trabert's a professional, these kids are gone for sure," Kramer said. "Trabert hasn't even signed with me yet. I'll be disappointed if U.S. lawn tennis officials don't probe this one."
