NATION STIRRED AS TROJANS VIE FOR YEAR’S TOP STAKES
by Murray Brown Daily Trojan Sports Editor
Few college football teams have had more to win or lose than crosstown rivals SC and UCLA in their titanic tomorrow afternoon at 2 before a sellout Coliseum crowd of 102,000 fans.
There’s a PCC title, a national championship, the only UCLA undefeated season in history, and a successful SC Diamond Jubilee year on the line.
So is the Trojans’ chance to become the only college football team ever to beat three of the country’s top four teams in a row in modern football history. Notre Dame and Ohio State are next.
There’s also the respect of the sports world, each team’s university, and the Victory Bell at stake.
SC Called Second Best
If the Trojans win, they’ll make tlie skeptics wish they never said the “second best team is going to the Rose Bowl.” Should they lose, they’ll become the only second place PCC squad in history to play at Pasadena. .
The post season game between UCLA and Oklahoma many people have tried to arrange as an “all-time gigantic”
will automatically be ruled out by an SC triumph. And the Bruins attempt to become the only UCLA squad to win the PCC title two times running will be foiled.
Right now Coach Henry “Red” Sanders’ top ranked club is the highest scoring football team in the country—college-or pro. Too, the Bruins have allowed the least points for a major college eleven—40. They can lose those honors if SC comes through with an unbelievable performance.
Consensus Asks for Miracle
From the consensus of writers, gamblers, and fans in L.A. and around the country, it appears that nothing short of a miracle will help SC turn back this UCLA robot of efficiency and perlection that has romped along without making mistakes.
The closest the oddsmakers expect SC to come to beating this California Crusher is within 13y2 points. That’s not giving much of a chance to a team that is ranked sixth in the nation by a national wire service—a team whose only defeat in nine games was to a TCU contingent that even outdowned and outgained the country’s No. 1 club the week before.
“We don’t fear the Bruins. We respect them,” Coach
Jess Hill has said. But what respect Hill has for awesome UCLA. “We’ll have to play 50 to 100 per cent better tomorrow than we have at any time this year.”
Respect for SC, Too He has quite a bit of respect for his own group of boys, too. “I feel the Trojans are capable of rising up to UCLA and Notre Dame on successive Saturday’s.”
No less Sanders about his squad, which he has said is the best he’s ever coached.
The previous showings of the two teams have led to the belief that tomorrow’s game will be a test of UCLA’s nearly invulnerable line against SC’s swift set of backs. The fittest aren’t always the strongest and the race doesn’t always go to the fastest.
Hill’s team is said to possess two sleepers—a passing attack and Jon Arnett. Jim Contratto is the third best passer in the conference with 25 completions ih 57 attempts. Though he hasn’t thrown often, he has come through when lt seemed SC needed him most.

An Open Letter to The Trojan Varsity
Trojans:
You’re the PCC’s representative in the Rose Bowl game. But many “experts” say you don’t deserve the honor. To them you’re the second best team in the conference. They say you don’t have the class of UCLA. They think it’s inconceivable that you can defeat your crosstown rival.
The Bruins are the No. 1 team in the nation. They were as merciless as a Gestapo as they slew the eight enemies they have met. They dismembered Stanford beyond recognition, 72-0; Oregon State, 61-0; and Oregon, 41-0. Against common opponents, they are averaging 19 points more than you are.
So far they have scored 333 points—more than any other team in the country. This total is also the highest any UCLA eleven has ever made.
Their fans point out how you let such comparative | weaklings as Stanford and Oregon State run through your line. Can you then stop a UCLA team that ground out yardage as if there were no one blocking its way? They would wager their most precious possession that you can't. Terrific Defense
The Bruins are as miserly with giving away points as they are greedy scoring them. They have allowed only 40. You have permitted more than twice as many. Their victims have been able to put together only 654 yards on the ground, an average of 81.7 per contest.
It’s their awesome and cunning line that’s responsible. Only one rushing touchdown has been made against it. The Bruin forwards have been nearly impregnable defensively, and they have also pushed away the opposition to allow jthe UCLA ground attack to function as well as it has.
“Teamwork” keeps the Bruins in championship form, according to Coach Red Sanders.
They can put in a second string as fearsome as the regulars. Many of the "experts” say their depth will wear you down.
UCLA leads eight conference opponents in eight of the Iten statistical departments. Ycu’re not even close. Sanders’ I team has also written four new PCC and Bruin records into the books this season.
Four UCLA players—Tackle Jack Elena, Guard Jim Sals-[bury, Fullback Bob Davenport, and Tailback Primo Villanueva—are being highly considered for first-string spot* on The All-American team. None of your men are.
Sanders said Davenport “is the best fullback I’ve ever :oached. ’ Those who played against them both commented

Net Tightens Around Secret Bovard Drills
By Bert Snow
A three-man police patrol roamed in and around Founders Hall in an effort to protect the secret Bovard Field football sessions, it was learned yesterday. The three have kept a week-long afternoon vigilance.
This wasn’t the only precaution taken to keep scout reDorts out of the hands of the
hated Bruins.
Earlier this week, all windows in the stairway landings on the second and third floors were j blacked out to all inquisitive ; hangers-on.
The three-man force includes only one bonafide campus policeman, Stanley Sowa. while the other two are trackmen Ronnie Morris and Pat Coyle.
