BEARS FOR
ROSE BOWL
BY RUSS NEWLAND
ASSOCIATED PreSs Sportswriter)

College football. With few strag-
Cling exceptions. was all over but
for the shouting today in the far
west.
California appeared to be in as
the Coast Conference representative
in the Rose Bowl for the third sue
cessive year. Michigan probably will
provide the other half of the color-
full gridiron battle at Pasadena,
New Years Day.
The Bears Of California won the
1850 conference title with five wins,
no defeats and one tie. Washington
finished second with a 81 record,
beaten only by the Bears, lat.
The league season ran out Satur-
day. Stanford and California, fight
ing to a TT lie before 81 coo fans at
Berkeley, provided the climactic
thriller Of the day
Scare Tor Bears
Underdog Stanford's Indians
threw a mighty scare into the big
Bears. California was a l3l2 point
favorite to whip a Stanford team
that had lost to UCLA, Washington
and Army and had been held to
tie by Southern California.
California scored on the ground,
a 3l-yard touchdown run by half
1zix no+o col,o Ior,,,,, in thp third
period. Stanford tailed in the
fourth, from the 5-yard line on
wide pass from quarterback Gary
Kerkorian to halfback Boyd Ben
son. Both teams failed on other
scoring opportunities.
Only two teams scored more than
seven points against California this
season. They were Santa Clara, with
a touchdown and safety in the
opening game which California won,
27-9 and st. Mary's, with four
touchdowns while losing 25-4O. How
ever, practically every player on
the California bench got chance
in the st. Mary's contest.
Huskies Finish
Washington, runner-up IN the
conference standings, closed out Its
season with a resounding 52-2l VIC
tory over Washington State. 1t wa
made possible by the brilliant pass
ing of quarterback Don Heinrich
and the ball running of Hugh Nc
Elhenny.
UCLA. finishing third in TIT
league. chalked up its greatest VII
of the year by trouncing cross-toWf
rival, Southern California, 800.
Oregon State topped off its sched'
ule with 1872 win over oregon
The ninth member of the circuit
Idaho, closed up shop by taking
a 21-43 whipping from a strong
Arizona State College of Tempe
club.

Season with
Great Hurrah

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 27-R--
The marks on Spokane's new Me-
mortal Stadium might look today
like mere football cleat tracks tc
a stranger, but to the 10000 people
who sat there Saturday they spell
this message:
Heinrich and McElhenny came
through here in the fall of 1880"
In a game touched by tragedy
and jammed with drama, the RECORD
wrecking Washington HuskieS
blasted the Washington State Col
! lese Cougars 50 to 81, to wind UP
their season in second place in the
Pacific Coast Conference. Along the
way quarterback Don Heinrich
broke one national and one confer
ence passing record and Hugh Nc
Elhenny wiped out a conference
rushing standard. Heinrich now
holds all the circuits passing marks
Washington even gave away 6

ball in the final minutes for the
last record outburst. Heinrich needed
one completion and McElhenny
needed couple of yards. Don flip
ped to senior Rollie Kirkby to make
it 1874 for the season, breaking by
one the national completion record
set in 1947 by Chuck Conerly OF
Ole Miss.
And then with the play at fourth
down and II to go, he fed the bal
to McElhenny and Hurryin' Hugh
got all the yards he needed, going
"a strides down the sidelines to 9
! touchdown.
The big, bouncing fullback pilec
up 296 net yards in the game tc
make his seasons total 1,107, CON-
pared to the record 1.010 set in 1913
But the cold figures and cold facts
are two stories. Just before the
game the Washington State team
learned that the brother of center
Tavern Torgeson had been asphyxi-
ated while sleeping in car in which
the motor was running. Torgeson
was SO shaken he did not attempt
to play.

the West Coast. Now that the sea-
son is practically over, it doesn' t

the picture that way.
Michigan Comes Through
Some of the early season predic-
lions did come true, though. Michi-
gan was thought to be the best
team in the Big 10. 1t was a mighty
close squeak, but the Wolverines
made it and today were expected
TO be tapped officially for the trip
to the Rose Bowl.
On the West Coast, the champion
California Bears were regarded as
also-rans behind Stanford and
Southern California. But Pappy
Waldorf is not a man to take the
experts seriously, so his team. too,
IS expected to be tapped today for
he Rose Bowl.
Texas was loaded and everybody
knew it. The Longhorns did not
disappoint. Even though Southern
Methodist went to the top of the
heap in the early stages of the sea-
on.

Princeton would finish it's season

49 Killed in Crash
OF Plane Near Rio
By the Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 90
All 40 persons aboard were killed
last night when a Brazilian Con-
stellation crashed and burned near
Porto Allegro. 1t was the worst
disaster in the country's aviation
history.
Among the 43 passengers was
Ralph Motley, 48, an American,
sales manager in Rio for the At
1antic Refining Co. He came here
from Richmond, Ind.
Witnesses said the plane circled
Porto Allegro for an hour and a
half in heavy weather and then
smashed into Goats Hill, about
20 miles outside of town. 1t may
have hit high-tension wire. Por-
to Allegro is about TOO miles
southwest of Rio on the Bra
lillian coast.
Panair, owners of the plane,
said rescue crews sped to the
scene Immediately. The glow from
the burning plane led them up the
hill through heavy rains. A local
radio station reported they found
only charred bodies.

10000 More German Police
Reported OK by Allies
By the Associofed Press

BONN, July 29.-The Allied
High Commission was reported to-
day to have authorized the West
German government to increase
its state police force by about
10000 men.
Allied and German sources be-
1ieved this was the Allied High
Commissions reply to the West
German governments request for
federal police force. It would
mean an increase of the present
state police strength by about 10
per cent.
German sources said the Allies
had granted the government a
federal police force of 500 for "spe-
cial assignment in this Capital.
The authorized additional state
police force would be allowed to
combine under a unified COM
mand in lease of emergency, Z"
these informants said. They added
the Allied reply did not contain
any details regarding armament
of federal police or the additional
state police.

About Teeth.

Since the suff1x list" denotes
zone skilled in can it be said that
a dentist is a specialist in dents?
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
for the primary meaning of the
word dent is tooth" The word is
French, and evolved from the Latin
DENTS, "a tooth" This explains at
a glance such words as dental, den
tine, denture and dentifrice (from
the Latin dentifricium, ito rub a
tooth").
The Greek word for tooth is
odontos. The Greek combining
form ortho- means straight" An
orthodontist, then, is specialist in
straight teeth, or, literally, "a
straight-tooth-ist."
The four front teeth in both jaws
have straight, sharp edges like a
chisel. Their purpose is to cut
cleanly, hence they are called in
cisors pronounced: in-SY-zerz) !,
from the Latin incisus, Ito cut into"

Generally speaking, where there
are two lines of play available for
the fulfllment of contract, that
one should be selected which Of
fers the better prospect of success
even though it involves going down
additional tricks if it fails. An ex-
ception may be noted in cases
where the possible loss is apt to
be out of all proportion to the
gain.
Take, for example, the situation
where you find yourself in a con-
tract of three no-trump, redoubled
and vulnerable. Yoy can run off
with eight tricks and resign your
self to loss of 400 points. But the
contract can be fulfilled if a
finesse succeeds. If, however, the
flnesse should fail, you will be
down four, for a loss of 2,200
points. Should you risk the finesse?
Unless you have good reason to
believe it will work, it is a bad
gamble, because you stand to lose
considerably more than you stand
to gain. But where a contract has
not been doubled, every effort
should be made to bring it home,
even at slightly greater loss.
The bidding of today's hand is
given as it actually occurred, though
there are some features of it with
which we are not in full agree
ment. North's response of two
clubs is not looked upon with favor.
The hand has not sufficient sup
porting strength to justify two
forward-going bids. In such cases
it is sound practice to get off
the spot" by offering an immedi-
ate raise Of partners major suit.
What is the test to determine
whether a hand is worth two bids?
With playing tricks as the stand
ard, the measure is four plus.
Translated into points, a hand
counting more than 10 points is
too strong for a single raise. Ten
is the dividing line. North's hand
is worth nine points, eight in high
cards and one for the doubleton.
1t, therefore, comes well within
the limits of single raise.
Against the four-heart contract
