MEMORIAL STADIUM, Berkeley, Oct. 26—(Exclusive) — Old Man Fate cast his ballot in favor of California and so tlie Bears won, 21-7.
But Trojan students and alumni can justly be p-oud of a team that pi&yed their hearts out and gave everything they had for their school and for their c'vu:h, Howard Harding Jones. A team, that with an even share of the breaks might have turned the result of Saturday’s game into a different story.
Battled Hard
The Trojans battled their opponents to the last ditch. That S.C. never quit fighting was evidenced in the closing three seconds of play. I when Leavitt Thurlow smashed through to block a Bear kick, and Art Dittbemer fell on the ball behind the goal line for the lone Trojan score of thr day and the first touchdown scored by any team against California this season.
One would have thought that the I Trojans had won the game for almost the entire San Francisco populace swarmed from the stands down on to the field as the S. C. team lined up for the conversion and watched Bill Howard boot the ball 1 squarely through the uprights for | the extra point.
Davie Leads S.C.
Little Davie Davis led the S.C. | eleven in its closing fight after both [Glenn Thompson and Nick Pappas had fallen victim to the vicious I tackling of California’s hard charging forwards. Thompson succumbed las a result of a blow in the stomach I while Pappas suffered a badly bruis-|ed hip.
The Trojan line was impenetrable I during the major part of the con-ltest. Onlv on a few occasions were the California backs able to break I into the open and once beyond the IS.C. forwards Fowler, Schultz, Ar-Icher. and other Bear ball packers |went for large gains before being

Delegates Acclaim Pension Plan Head
Townsend Tells Followers Present Economic Order Must Be Changed
CHICAGO. Oct. 27— (dT.P> —Six thousand delegates to the Townsend old age pension convention cheered their mild, soft-spoken leader wildly today when he warned at a post-session of fhe conclave that the United States “faces universal prosperity or universal disaster”
The applause reached its height when Dr. F. E. Townsend urged his adherents to go to the polls at the next election and bring about “an orderly change in our economic affairs that will result in established prosperity for all."
The method bv which it is hoped to reach this objective, a method which has been drummed steadily into the ears of delegates since they gathered here four days ago, and which has proved attractive to a reputed 18.030.0D0 followers, consists of payment to all over 60 of $200 per month.
Dr. Townsend outlined the rudiments of the plan and traced economic factors which he said led to the stock market- crash of 1929. The convention proper ended with a note of gaiety last night at a banquet and ball in a downtown hoteL The lean California physician concluded that the economic struc-

I Anniversary of Mussolini’s
March on Rome To Be Celebrated Today
Copyright, 1935, by United Press.
ROME, Oct. 27.—(U.E)—Italian armies on northern and southern fronts Will hurl themselves forward in » smashing assault upon Ethiopian defenses tomorrow on the 13th anniversary of the Fascist march on Rome, authorities forecast tonight.
Officials said Italian troops were rested after their preliminary gains and the rains which delayed Gen. Rodolfo Grazani’s southern columns have stopped.
League Meets Thursday
Italians virtually have lost hope of a satisfactory solution of the diplomatic stalemate with Great Britain before the league meets Thursday to begin enforcement of economic sanctions. The moment for a shattering drive to realize Ethiopian objectives by force of arms may appropriately coincide with the blackshirts’ holiday, it is believed.
Eve of the anniversary found Fascist Italy engaged in the greatest undertaking since groups of impatient youths wearing black shirts massed outside the walls of Rome ready to advance in three columns to capture ths government for Benito Mussolini, the erstwhile Socialist editor from Milan.
Italy Keyed Up
AH Italy was keyed tonight to the War and the anniversary. The nation worked all through Sunday in preparation for a complete holiday celebration tomorrow.
Premier Mussolini personally will lead tomorrow’s celebration. He spent today at the Venice palace studying latest reports from ths diplomatic and war fronts and conferring with party leaders regarding tomorrow’s plans.
All day long squadrons of Caproni bombers and pursuit planes—some of the latter capable of 400 kilometers (250 miles) an hour—roared across the city to put the nation in a warlike frame of mind.
Flames Whip Over County
Men Get Equipment, Food As They Struggle To Save Grass Lands
By United Press.
Dying winds tonight gave an army of 6,000 weary fire fighters first real hope of making headway against ravages of brush blazes in Malibu canyon that for five days have defied efforts of county and state fire control.
Reports from Fire Dispatcher S. H. Welch said men, recruited from sheriff’s offices, Civilian Conservation camps, forestry details and communities, were “holding their own.”
“It is not possible to tell whether the fire definitely will be brought under control,” Welch reported, “but we have gained sufficient advantage so that there is no serious menace now if the wind does not rise again.”
Flames Lick Mountains
Persisting flames, licking through the saw-tooth Santa Monica mountains, left a charred waste of more than 100,030 acres of brush land and timber, razed ranches and mountain lodges in half a dozen areas and menaced the swanky Malibu lake and Seminole hot springs regions.
Blown on a hot desert wind, the flames swept early today across the Ventura county line. Additional equipment and food was sent to men waging a desperate battle to save rich grasslands and settlements in Dume canyon.
Wind Rises
A sudden rise in wind, forestry men said, would send the blaze whipping over Los Flores canyon, into hitherto untouched territory, with possibility of another serious outbreak similar to that which razed mountain lodges and beach dwellings along the edge of the Santa Monica mountains last week.
Sightseeing motorists thronged highways, where square miles of land had been laid waste, a barren stretch of black desolation spreading from Malibu beach into the heart of the mountains.

MERLIN, Oct. 27—<l\E i—German initions factories are working and day so the Reich will become “another Ethiopia,” Hermann Wilhelm Goering, of the air force, announced Nazi meeting at Breslau to-

we can be sure nobody can attack us. We have had ample opportunity to see what it means to be defenseless in the face of other countries which are armed to the teeth*
Goering indicated Nazism eventually aims at eliminating the state governments. “I am proud to have received the order from Der Fuehrer when he appointed me premier of Prussia not to conserve but to liquidate that state,” Goering said.
Foreshadowing a purge of undisciplined party members. Goering ! continued:
“In accordance with Der Fueh-i rer’s will, we shall now deal with those who break discipline by starting individual action through private grudge or overzealousness. Those who do not observe the pace set by Der Fuehrer shall be eliminated."

When registration officials enroll- , ed George Navarro, young student j from Ecuador, in the College of En- j gineering one day about four years ago, little did they realize that the . quiet, unassuming youth would some 1 day bring distinctoin to the univer-1 sity by making S. C. one of the few colleges in the country to have a member of the consular service as a
member of its student body.
Serving his country in the capacity of vice-consul in charge of diplomatic relations throughout southern CaUfomia, Navarro is one of the youngest attaches in the Ecuadorean foreign service.
The handsome, brown-haired, olive-skinned young man, now 25 years of age, came to the United States in 1932 to compete in the Olympic games. His event was the 400 meter run, for which he held the record in Ecuador. However, political complications and strife in his native land kept Navarro from entering the games, a bitter pill for the athlete to swallow.
Not long afterward, Navarro received an offer to accept the position of vice-consul, but refused, saying that he had not proved himself worthy of the job. Later he returned to Ecuador and, in competition with other applicants, won the right to represent the small South American republic.
In a small office in Hollywood, Navarro carries on his business. Among his most prized possessions are certificates from the president
of Ecuador and from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, officially recognizing him as a member of the diplomatic corps.
When George came to North America he knew no English. Today his st)23ch, although hesitant, is far superior to that of the average college student. He is majoring in engineering ar.d international relations, with a smattering of political science. His ambition is to continue in the diplomatic service, although he intends to prepare himself for a non-political life if the occasion arises.
American school life Was far different from that of Ecuador, Navarro points out. For instance, he often became very annoyed when professors assigned extra-heavy loads of home work. He said that South American students would have risen as one to threaten the instructor with dire consequences when the lessons were too hard, whereas the Americans “sit back and take it.”
“The United States and her people are wonderful,” Navarro seated. “I have grown to love them and to appreciate the citizens’ qualities of warmth and friendship. I hope that my consular service will keep me in ths United States always.”
The cultured young vice-consul plans to begin intensive training immediately for the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin, where he will represent his country, unless unexpected political troubles again hamper him.
