(U.P.) - Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf closed out his worst season in his eight years as University of Cal ifornia football coach baturaay and insisted that he would be back to oilot the Bears again next year. Waldorf said he had no inten tion of resigning after his team absorbed a 19-0 licking at the hands of arch-rival Stanford to give the Bears a season mark of two wins, seven losses and one tie. "It is my intention to com plete my contract as head coach at California," the portly men tor said. "It was just a down year for the Bears." Year To Go Waldorf has one year to go on his present contract. Al though he has taken Cal to the Rose Bowl three times during his eight-year reign, there have been recent rumblings of dis content from the UC campus and alumni. He was hanged in effigy a few weeks ago. Waldorf placed much of the ' blame for today's defeat on Stanford's ability to shoot its linebackers - through the gaps "This caused a lot of trouble in our offense," he said. Happy Stanford Over in the quietly happy Stanford dressing room Indian Coach Chuck Taylor termed this year's team better than the one that went to the Rose Bowl five years ago. It was Stanford's first victory over the Bears in nine years of "Big Game" rivalry. The Atlantic is the saltiest of the great oceans. v . - were chosen on the second team.

Wilt The Stilt Chamberlain drapped his 7-foot frame against the wall of the Kansas University dress ing room and complained he felt sick in the first half of a basket ball game in which he scored 42 points Friday night. The incredible Philadelphia Negro, who turned down bids from 100 major colleges to play at Kansas, had led the freshman team to an unprecedented 81-71 victory over the Jayhawk varsity. Ohio Ruins Michigan's Bowl Hopes Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.P.) Howard (Hopalong) Cassady ran roughshod over Michigan in his final college game Saturday to lift Ohio State to its second straight Big Ten title with a 17-0 victory which knocked the Wolverines out of a Rose Bowl bid. Cassady, the 21-year-old sen ior from Columbus, O., raced 146 yards in 28 carries in the finest running display at Michi gan Stadium since the days of Tom Harmon as a record crowd of 97,369 watched. The flee t-footed Cassady scored Ohio State's first touch down on a two-yard smash in the fourth period and set up a 17-yard field goal by end Fred Kriss in the second period with his shifty running. Safety Added The Buckeyes added a safety when fullback Don Vicic tack led Terry Barr in the end zone and a second touchdown on Vicic's one-yard smash in the closing minutes. Ohio State can't make the Rose Bowl trip since the Buck eyes played at Pasadena last New Year's Day. Michigan State, which claimed second place in the Big Ten as a result of Ohio State's victory, is cer tain to get the bid. It was Ohio State's first vic tory here since 1937 and stret ched to 13 straight games the Buckeye conference winning streak. They won seven in a row last year and six straight this season.

Stanford Trims California 19-0 in 58th 'Big Game' Stanford, Calif U.R) The Stanford Indians, unleashing all the fury built up after eight years of frustration, walloped the California Bears, 19-0 Sat urday before 91,500 sun-bathed fans at Stanford stadium in the 58th renewal of the "Big game."

Actually, the score could have been much higher except for some fine goal line stands by the Cal line. Coach Chuck Taylor used four quarterbacks on his offen sive team. And they all moved the ball with equal ease against the Golden Bear club that won only two games all season. John Brodie, Gus Gustafson, Jack Douglas and Jack Lewis took turns in the signal-calling slot and they made suckers of I the Bear defense. v" r" The Indians gave a sample of things to come on the second play of the game when Brodie tossed a screen pass to Gordie Young who rambled 62 yards to the Cal 8. On the fourth down Brodie plunged over on a quarterback sneak for the score and the fat was in the fire as far as Cal was concerned. Stanford scored in the second quarter on a 45-yard march with the key play being Brodie' s 13 yard pass to halfback Paul Cam era on the 6. On four down Bro die plunged over from the 1 for the score to make it 12-0 at the half. .: t Rugged and Natural THAT'S TWEED 39.95 Today's high-speed living demands it traditionally appealing tweed transformed into styled-for-freedom topcoats by Brent.

Unless your engine fixes on the right 1100 of a second, power works against you, not for you the Bia Difference between Hiqhest Octane Gasolines awes nou smit-secona j With the horsepower of today's engines at an all-time high, it's no wonder they'll give you split-second "GO" at the touch of your toe. But did you know that deposits, which build up in your engine during daily driving, soon cut down this fine response? In combustion chambers, they glow red hot and fire the gasoline a split second before the piston reaches firing position . . . resulting in an incomplete power stroke. On spark plugs, the deposits cause short circuits and your engine "misses" wasting still .more power! High octane alone can't stop this dual power loss. TCP can. TCP, the specially developed Shell gasoline additive, neutralizes deposits as they form. It stops both pre-firing and spark plug failure. Thats how TCP keeps top octane delivering split-second response. Only Shell Premium Gasoline has both TCP and top octane. It's the most powerful gaso line your car can use!
