just before the half time gun and
into the first two minutes of the
second half. 1t was significants that

acre came during half time inter-
mission at Seattle.
Once the game in the north went

from 38 yards out. Bottari pitched
a seven yard pass to Bill Elmore
and "a yard aerial to Bill Dolman
to get the ball to Oregon's six. In
two churning smashes at the middle
Fullback Dave Anderson scored and
Bottari converted
The second score came more
swiftly. Once again California struck
from Oregon's 38. This time, two
plays after the kickoff, Bottari toss
ed a pass to gangling Lou Smith,
who took the ball on the 20. shook
off several tacklers and went all
the way to score. Bottari again con-
verted.
Power Drive Used
The third scoring drive also start
cd on Oregon's 38 yard line in the
first minutes of the second half.
This time California used power,
sending Anderson crashing into the
line five straight times to carry the
ball to the Oregon %. After a pass,
a plunge and another Anderson
smash. Lou Smith reversed over the
Oregon left end for u and the third
touchdown. Bottori's kick was block

Creson, however, wasn't through
playing. and the WebGeet sent out
a sophomore full back named Mar
shall Stenstrom who started to tear
the California line apart. In one
drive he moved the ball 68 yards
N half a dozen plays, marching to
the California II as the third per-
iod ended. The Bears stopped that
drive, but they were backed up
again shortly afterwards as Geb-
hardt and Stenstrom cut loose again
but without enough power to cross
the pay-Off line.
