N ERKELEY, Calf, November "a.
x TO the thunderous cheers
of 10000 frenzied fans, .
Stanford team, disabled by
the loss of its two greatest stars,
swept to Rose Bowl recognition and
the Coast Conference championship
today with 9-to-7 victory over Cali
fornia's Bears.
The fortieth gridiron struggle Of
these traditional rivals provided the
largest Western crowd Of the season
with thrills and spills from start to
finish in a hand to hand setto that
saw Stanford's potential all-American,
Bobby Grayson. fullback, leave the
game in the first quarter with two
broken ribs.

most powerful teams ever to wear the

in practice two days ago, kept him
out of uniform.
Bears Near Scores.
For two periods they battled up and
down the field in q scoreless duel
while rival thousands cheered Stan
ford advantage, in the opening quarter,
and roared approval as California
came back with second period drive
that three times brought the Bea1s
within striking distance Of scoring
turf.
Late in the third quarter Stanford's
alert ball hawks made and seized
the break" that put them In posi-
ton to go into the lead.
The Bears held the ball on their
35-yard line and Arleigh williams,
captain and left halfback. dropped
back for punt. Carl Schott, sopi,o-
more end from San Francisco who
had taken over left end duties for the
Indians, smashed through to block
Williams kick. His teammate, Right
End Keith Topping, was there to fall
on the ball "a yards from California's
goal
Quarterback Alustiza banged the
line for yards, then Robert Bones"
Hamilton, Stanford captain and right
half, on the tail end of triple reverse,
dashed around the Bear right end to
score standing up. Hamilton's feat
made up for some extremely poor
blocking on his part earlier in the
game. Schott failed to toe the ball
through the uprights on the try for
point after touchdown.
Near the end of the quarter STAN
ford gained on a weak California punt
and put the ball into play on the Bear
42-yard line. Line plunges carried the
ball to California's 15-yard mark from
where Schott, continuing in hero's
role, added a field goal to his earlier
punt blocking feats. From placement
he sent the oval straight through the
uprights for the extra three talies that
eventually won.
Three Big Points.
The three points meant the differ
ence between victory and defeat as de-
velopments disclosed. California came
back with q drive that resulted In .

line. After a gain Of 2 yards, Will

manning yards to score. williams
converted to put his team 2 points be-
hind.
But the California comeback had
started too late. Stanford received the
next kickoff on its 21-yard line and
the game ended on the first play from
scrimmage.
