M eley, Calf, December IL
1 ' i Combining crushing power
on the ground with a
oth-functioning attack through
| the aerial lanes, California's
Bears overwhelmed Georgia Techs
Engineers, 27-6, today to top off an
| unimpreSSive regular season with
a brilliant interSectiOnal victory.
Some 1000 hardy fans, the smallest
post season turnout since the stadium
was built, saw a game but outclassed
eleven from old Dixie go down to one
sided defeat.
Holding their own for the first half,
the Southern boys were swamped under
third and fourth period attack that
saw the Bears push over three touch
downs.
ZACH reached scoring tV-t in The
IL first hall. California crossing for
touchdown shortly after the
game opened and Tech coming through
with late rally in the second period
to put the game on practically even
terms. California completed its try
for point. however, to hold one-tally
lead as the half-time gun sounded.
The Bears came out for the third
period with a rush that netted touch
down soon after the kickoff A 55-yard
march consisting of plunges at the line
ended when Schaldach went over for
the second touchdown Of the game
In the same quarter. the Bears took
possession of the ball on Techs "a
yard line and drove from that point for
another score, Williams sub for Schal-
| dach at left half going over
Beaten back by the tremendous power
thrusts Of a California eleven that rose
to its greatest heights today, the boys
from Georgia were forced to yield an
other touchdown not long after the
opening of the last quarter.
1t was mainly an attack from the
ground that netted exactly 81 yards and
the fourth score One pass from Castro
to Carol Gill accounted for II yards.
Fifteen of the yards gained were those
inflicted for holding penalty.
OUTCLASSED but not once out
~ gained, the Engineers gave the
chilled spectators last-miute
thrill by careening down the field 48
yards in thrust that failed to produce
points when McArthur's pass fell in
complete over California's goal line.
Fast and furious was the battle in
the first half. Gaining ground on an
| exchange of punts. California went into
action on its 46-yard mark. Schaldach
passed to Jones for 10 yards, the lat.
ter snagging the ball with ne-handed
catch of the base ball variety.
Schaldach hit the line twice to put
| the oval on the 1-foot line, from where
Quisling bucked through for the first
score. Schaldach added the extra
| point with a drop-kick.
A few plays later the Bears crashed
78 yards down the field to the 7-yard
line, only to lose the ball when Castro
caught Schaldach's pass outside the
end zone Just before the period ended
the CalifornianS recovered a blocked
| punt on Techs l6-yard line, but again
lest a scoring chance by an incom-
plete pass.
TECHS lone score resulted from one
L incident that marked the spec
tacular play of its captain and
| center. Howard Neblett As great as
any lineman on the field of battle,
Neblett bobbed up to intercept a pass
and run S yards before he was downed
on California's 35-yard mark
Sid Williams lugged the oval 10 yards
on an end around maneuver. From
| tne 25-yard line Macarthur tossed a
neat pass to Hart, who ran 10 Yards
to the touchdown. Lackey's attempted
place-kick on the try for point was
blocked
Rains last night left the field in
somewhat soft condition. while the
threatening weather kept an antici-
pated throng of 10000 fans to about
third of that number.
THE victory gave California the edge
L over its Southern rival, with two
games won and one lost
1t was the second annual victory for
the Bears, the 1881 team having defeat
ed Tech, 1876. in Atlanta. In 1929
Georgia Tech defeated California. 81.
in the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena.
Neblett's remarkable individual per-
formance was matched by that Of
Schaldach. CALIFORNIA; S speedy left half
back, who, like the Tech captain, ended
his college foot ball days with this game.
Schaldach, in addition to being the
leading ground gamer of both sides.

and held his own in the kicking end Of
the contest.
