California, the nation's top ranked team and defending national champion, got in with an easy 69-49 victory over Santa Clara last night. Oregon, an unranked inde pendent, shackled high-scoring Utah, 65-54. California's victory was strictly routine. The Bears romped to a 9-1 lead in the first five minutes of play, led 31-22 at halftime and were never in trouble. Darrall Im hoff, all-American center, and Earl Shultz paced the winners with 16 points each. Game honors went to Jim Russi of the losers, who fin ished with 20 points. Russi kept the Broncs in the ball game in the first half when he collected 16 of his total. Collapsing Defense Chuck Rask, a 6-1 whirl wind from Portland, and sophomore Glenn Moore en gineered the Oregon attack that cooled Utah - a club which has averaged 84.4 points per game. The Ducks' collapsing de fense stifled Utah's sopho more sensation, Billy McGill, who got only six points before fouling out. "Oregon just caught us flat and simply outhustled us," said Utah coach Jack Gard ner. "Apparently we were just looking past them and thinking too much about Cal ifornia." Utah did not get a field goal until after nine minutes of play and at half time had registered only five field goals. Rear engined and wonderful! In conventional cars, o front engine turns the rear wheels through a long drive shaft. Volkswagen's rear engine gives direct power to the wheels. The rear engine gives your rear wheels extra traction in mud, sand, ice and snow. You go when others can't. TheVolbwagen engine is air cooled. No water to boil over in summer, or to freeze in winter. The engine is light, powerful and beautifully machined. You get an honest 32 miles to the gallon (regular gas regular driving).
