Sublime Weekend For The Underdogs

As long as UCLA let Larry Zeno pass, the Bruins stayed with SYRACUSE. UCLA, however, unaccountably went to the ground in the second half, and that was disastrous. The big Syracuse line held the UCLA runners to two yards, and Jim Nance and Gus Giardi led a ferocious charge that destroyed the Bruins, 29-7. Confided Coach Ben Schwartzwalder, "Our kids grew up tonight." Remarked one observer, "If they get any bigger, they won't get into the Coliseum."

Oregon was still coming on strong. The fleetest Webfoots—Mel Renfro, Larry Hill and Lu Bain—ran like the wind, and Bob Berry threw (nine for 11) for 186 yards and two scores in a 41-21 stomping of Idaho.

In the Western AC, UTAH beat Brigham Young 15-6, while WYOMING ran over independent Colorado State 21-3. Two touchdown plunges by ARIZONA fullback Si Gimbel upset Texas Western 13-7, and Tony Lorick led ARIZONA STATE past West Texas 24-16. UTAH STATE slaughtered New Mexico 47-14.
