{ PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 3 (U. P). Football coaches and fans agreed ay that the old familiar line ‘plunge was more productive than the quick-fingered antics of newer, . streamlined plays in the 1938 Rose Bowl game. . California proved the point by crumbling the brilliant air and

speed offensive of Alabama, 13-0,

“in the annual intersectional classic. " The game wasn't one that the record holiday throng of 90,000 will . long remember. There were few striking feats. The Bears, gatherpe power. as they traveled, marched . twice through the Crimson Tide on

Stockton, hammered the Alabama |

forward wall, rushed the passers, and finally. brought about the collapse of the famed Alabama overhead attack. The Berkeley players tackled so” hard that Alabama fumbled four times, and those four misplays were the crises of the game. The two touchdowns were scored after straight drives of 63 and 48 * yards, and both began after fumbles. The first came after two misplays. Herwig recovered Charlie’ Holm's hobble of a pass on the Bear 7, and on the next play Perry Schwartz scooped up Herky Mosley’s muff of Sam Chapman’s punt. Vie Bottari scored from the 5-yard line around right end. In the third period Holm fumbled and Stockton recovered for California. After one false start the Bears scored again, . Bottari going over the same end for the touchdown. Power Wins for Rice

Falcaro has been given the runaround since 1932, when Joe Miller of ‘Buffalo emerged from eliminations with a claim to the title. This version of the crown passed to Otto Stein of St. Louis in 1934, and in the following yesr to Marino, who has since prevailed, with Falcaro neatly sidetracked. “But I'm the real match play: champion,” sa¥s Falearo; who hasn’f; lost. one in 20 years. “I was cham pion before this new /setup came along and I will continue to be champion until someone beats me in championship competition. “Billy Sixty of Milwaukee, representing Marino, agreed to a rollofi this winter, with 30 games each in Milwaukee, Chica30, Cleveland, and New York. Then they telephoned me and said they wanted to move the Cleveland games to Detroit. I replied that I'd bowl Marino on cobblestones, or feather mattresses, or anything else he’d like to bowl on, and any places.” Bowling Still in Its Infancy So Falcaro turned his two New York bowling establishments over to hired men and started on the road for the purpose of bowling himself into condition to take on Marino with sor:e money at stake. “But things were too quiet in late November,” he explains. “So I called Marino, wanting to know what wes what, and when the match wes going to take piace.

Back from their successful holiday jaunt into the Far West, Coach Everett Dean’s Indiana basketballers will plunge right into ‘their Western Conference championship race tomorrow night, meeting Coach Doug Mills’ Illinois netmen at Bloomington. Illinois, cochampion of the Big Ten last year, is rated as one of the teams to beat this season. The Illini halted Notre Dame’s winning streak last Tuesday with a 33-10-32 overtime triumph, and have surged through their preconference schedule with only one setback. Indiana has been rebuilding its lineup this year around three veterans, Bill Johnson and Ernie Andres of Jeffersonville, and Joe Platt of Young America. The Hoosiers are conceded to be somewhat of a question mark in the conference chase and their play tomorrow night may indicate which way they will go the rest of the year.

DePauw, one game behind Earlham in the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference, will attempt to overtake the Quakers at Earlham tomorrow night, Earlham has a clean record of three games while the Tigers have lost two to nonconference foes. On Wednesday night, Ball State, conqueror of Indiana University, plays at Franklin, Franklin's two wins in the state loop places it among the leaders and Ball, with a record of one and one, is aiming for an upset. Other Hoosier games scheduled: Thursday: Indiana State at Evansville, Friday: Rose Poly at Anderson. Ball State at Toledo (Ohio). Earlham at Wabash. Kokomo J. C. at Indiana Central. Oakland City at Hanover. Saturday: Notre Dame at Pennsylvania University (Philadelphia). N.C. A. G. U. at Anderson. Ball State at Western State (Kalamazoo). Butler at Marquette (Milwaukee).
