were battling at Champaign, ILL.,,
today, three of college footballs
longest winning streaks went on
the line-and all were expected
to add one more triumph to their
records.
With the scent of the Rose Bowl
coming closer by the hour. Cali
fornia tackled San Francisco, q
team that has caused little worry
in the lair of the Bears, who boast
a streak of 80 regular season tri-
umphs. California has lost two
Rose Bowl clashes in between.
California, If it gets past Stan
ford next week, will be the Pacific
Coast Conference champion and
Rose Bowl host for the third
straight year.
Road Rough for Stanford.
Pity Stanford. California next
week and Army this. No rest for
the weary here. The Palo Alto
Indians have won five. lost two
and tied one in eight games and
they were the short enders against
the Cadets, who were shooting for
their 28th game without defeat.
Army had two ties on its record.
Earl Blaik's legions, dropped
from the No. spot to third in this
weeks Associated Press poll de-
spite a 51-0 triumph over New
Mexico last week, were seeking to
regain some prestige.
Oklahoma, out for No. 20 in a
row, entertained Missouri in a Big
Seven game. OF the three, the
No. 2 Sooners had the best record,
looking at it from the point of
view of consecutive triumphs.

down favorite.

chances were that Wisconsin would
make the trip to the Pasadena
classic.

Ohio State was 7-point IA
vorite, mainly on it's terrific Of
fensive power that has averaged
41.6 points a game. The big gun,
Of course, has been Vic Janowicz
Illinois. a tight defensive outfit
that has given up just 35 points
through the entire season, was
hoping Johnny Karras' injured
ankle would be in top shape. Then,
said Illini supporters, an upset
might be in the making.
Kentucky and Princeton, two
of the other major unbeaten and
united elevens, also anticipated no
trouble. The respective opponents
were North Dakota and Yale.
Kentucky. seeking the Southeast
ern Conference title, is interested
IN bowl assignment. Princeton
is interested only in the Ivy
League championship, since that
loop is allergic to post-season
games.
At Philadelphia, Wisconsin
played Penn. one of the top teams
in the Easts since being beaten by
Army and California. The Badg-
ers still would like to get crack
at the Rose Bowl, although this
game had little bearing on their
chances.
