Washington Pressed
All Way in Beating
California, 1876
Far Superior Huskies
UnobIe to CIinch Tilt

BY the Associated Press.

BERKELEY. Calf, Nov. g.
Washingtons Huskies clung to slen-
der Rose Bowl hopes today with a
bruising l3-to.6 football victory
over CALIFORNIA; Bears before q
gloomy day crowd OF 10000 fans.
The Huskies, definitely superior,
but pressed from opening kickoff to
final gun, scored a touchdown and
added the extra tally in the OPEN
ing quarter to take lead that was
threatened once, but never topped.
California came back with a
fourth-period touchdown snatched
from the aerial lanes, but failed on
the crucial kick that would have
tied the count.
Whether the Bears had or had
not converted the extra tally made
no difference in the final checkup.
Washington came back with a
smashing thrust on the next series
to net ga yards on nine plays for
another touchdown.
1t put them safely in the lead
with only seconds to go and they
choked off a desperate last-stand
passing attack by the Californians
through a pass interception that
gave them the ball deep In the
latter's territory.
