All four of Stanford’s main rivals
were beaten Sfcitfirday as the bet-
1 ting underdogs won all four of the major conference games.
ALBERT BREAKS LOOSE
Stanford blasted the last hopes of a powerful Washington, team,
13-7, the Huskies bottled up Stanford’S passing attack, but Quarterback Frankie Albert set up one score with a 47-yard breakaway and his teammates recovered a fumble on the Washington three for the clincher. Stanford had the statistics. Washington now has two conference defeats and one outside loss.
Oregon fell off the top of the pile by losing to an improving UCLA team, 14-7, in the day’s biggest upset. Oregon led 7-0 at the half, but the Bruins came bacfc with a 70-yard touchdown march and a 66-yard punt runback to win in the third period. Oregon and UCLA are now tied for second place with three conference wins and two ! losses.
COUGARS DRIVE
Oregon State, conqueror of Stanford and Washington, was dumped 7-0 by Washington State. The Cougars drove 86 yards for a score : in six minutes and had game control throughout. O.S.C. now has two wins and two losses, W.S.C. two wins and three losses.
California, another short-ender, smacked down SC, 14-0. An intercepted pass and a 35-yard touchdown drive accounted for the scores. It was California’s first win in three conference starts while SC has a 2-2 conference* record and one outside defeat.
Santa Clara, the last remaining undefeated, major team on the coast, took a sound 16-6 licking from Oklahoma. It was the first time Santa Clara has lost an out-of-state game in the seven years of Coach Buck Shaw’s regime. STANFORD MEETS BRONCOS
Next week’s games are not likely to affect the Rose Bowl race. Stanford plays outside the conference with Santa Clara, Oregon meets W.S.C., Oregon State plays Idaho, California plays UCLA, Washington meets Montana and SC has an open date.
Other far western scores Saturday included: ^
Fresno State 26, San Diego State 0; San Francisoo J.C. 13, Sacramento J.C. 0; Nevada 7, Santa Barbara .State 0; Cal Frosh 26, USC Frosh 0; Idaho 33, Willamette 6; Stanford Frosh 26, Alhambra A.

Troy Water Polo Seven Loses Twice
Troy’s hard-luck water polo squad got off to a dismal start when it opened its conference campaign by losing to both California and Stanford in the Bay region over the weekend.
The Cal seven used a tricky offense in which the guards broke down to upset the SC defense, and when Coach Ed Bittke’s mermen succeeded in solving the attack in the second half, the Bears were too far out in front even for the point-getting ability of Dick Krauss and the Berkeley team won, 8-6.

The Longhorns — Dana Bible’s
wonder team of the southwest— continued to show amazing power with a 40-0 victory over Rice, bringing Texas’ scoring total to 196 points against 27 for their five opponents. Bible’s boys not only lead the nation's biggies in scoring, against uppsr-strata opposition, but their showing for the half-season has been the best of any team in the land, considering the brand of opponents and the margin of victories. Against Rice, the Longhorns’ regulars rolled up two touchdowns in 20 minutes and then turned the work over to the second team.
MINNESOTA WINS
Meanwhile Minnesota won the season’s first “crucial” game, 7-0, over Michigan in the Big Ten classic before the year’s largest football crowd, 85,753, at Ann Arbor. The Michigan Wolverines had their perfect record shattered when tfre Gophers achieved a touchdown in the second period on Sophomore Herman Frickey’s five-yard line plunge over the goal line. Minnesota’s victory is expected to decide ultimately the Big Ten title.
In addition to Michigan’s reversal, Ohio State, Santa Clara, and Rutgers had their perfect records sullied by defeats Saturday, while Navy suffered a tie. Villanova and
Syracuse, 49-7. Other winners are Boston college, Cornell, Holy Cross, Brown, and Penn State
Midwest — Minnesota’s victory over Michigan gave the Gophers sole command of first place in the Big Ten, following Ohio State’s 14-7 defeat by Northwestern. Also in that conference, Wisconsin shaded Indiana, 27-25, and Purdue nosed Iowa, 7-6. In the Big Six, Missouri took the lead alone by blanking Nebraska, 6-0, and Kansas beat Iowa State, 13-0. Santa Clara’s 16-6 upset by Oklahoma left the Pacific coast without a perfect-record major outfit. Detroit was upset Friday night, 9-6, by Arkansas. Meanwhile Notre Dame and Duquesne retained unblemished shields by beating Illinois, 49-14, and Marquette, 31-14, respectively.

These results left 12 unbeaten and untied major teams: East—Army Fordham, Pennsylvania, Temple, and Duquesne. Midwest — Minnesota and Notre Dame. South — Duke and Vanderbilt. Southwest— Texas, Texas A. and M., and Texas Tech.
ARMY SURPRISES
The rest of competition may be sectionalized as follows:

in Last Half Rally
BY UNITED PRESS

LIONS STRIKE EARLY

A St. Mary’s fumble set up the second Loyola score in the opening period with Vogel aar recovering for the Lions deep in Gael territory. The Lions worked the ball down to the St. Mary three where Friday went over but fumbled and Wally Crittenden recovered over the goal for the touchdown with Friday converting.
ST. MARY’S THREATENS
St. Mary’s threatened thrice in the second period, scoring on John Podesto’s 22-yard pass to George Arabian atter having twice marched deep into Loyola territory only to fail to put the ball over the goal. McPartland converted the extra point.
Podesto connected again in the third period on a long pass to End Thomas Coll to put the Gaels on the Loyola 23 andon the next play he passed to Ray Curry, end, for the second touchdown. McPartland converted to give St. Mary’s a 14-13 lead.

Packers Subdue Bulldogs, 10-9
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26—0) —Mike Perrie, former S»t. Marys football star, today booted the San Francisco Packers to a 10-9 win over the Los Angeles Bulldogs in a professional game before 4000

Outplayed throughout most of the contest, the Trojans could get no farther than the Bear 26 yard line, and even when an SC major offensive did get underway near the end of the second quarter, a pass interception reversed the proceedings and was converted into a California touchdown by the alert Berkeley eleven.
The loss was the third that Sam Barry’s squad has absorbed this year, and was especially disheartening to the Trojans who seemingly had recovered from an early season slump.
DUNN INTERCEPTS PASS
California chalked up its first touchdown late in the firs,t half after Ray Dunn, a substitute end, had intercepted one of Southpaw Paul Taylor’s passes and raced 55

Joe Merlo made good the extra point and California went on the defensive to protect its 7-0 lead.
BEARS SCORE AGAIN
The second Bear score came in the fourth quarter on a drive that got underway when Al Derian ran one of Mickey Anderson’s punts back 17 yards to the SC 35. Jacfr

McQuary, who caused the Trojan forces no end of trouble during the afternoon, bounced through for a first down on the 23.
Derian, after the Bears had been momentarily set back 15 yards on a holding penalty, went to the 16, and then for a first down on the 11. Right Halfback Graves took a reverse to the three, but an offside penalty gave the men of Troy a short reprieve.
But on the next try Darian dived over tackle to score standing up. Again Merlo kicked the conversion and the Golden Bears settled back to smother a last minute Trojan passing attack as the game ended. REINHARD PUNTS
The skillful punting of all-American Bob Reinhard kept the Trojans in the hole constantly, most of the contest being played in SC territory.
On at least one occasion, however, the Troy eleven seemed destined to break into the scoring column. Mel Bleeker intercepted a California forward on the SC 45-yard line to start the threat. Paul Taylor completed a 20-yard toss to Bobby Robertson, and the Trojan star might well have been on his way except for the fact that the pass was short and low, causing him to break his stride and to be tackled on the 27. Bob Musick made a yard by hitting center, but the visiting team’s hopes died when Merlo intercepted another of Taylor’s portside throws. Johnny Aguirre came from nowhere to stop the play on the SC 45.
In the statistics column California also had the edge, rolling up a total of 208 yards and 11 first downs as compared to 143 yards and eight firsts for SC.
The Trojans arrived home yesterday afternoon, and will have two weeks to prepare for their next contest which is with Stanford in the coliseum one week from this coming Saturday.
