' ve? rone? ruin 7 me The Santa Clara Broncos rang up the second straight victory of the 1940 season with a 9 to 6 triumph over U.C.L.A. before 60,000 fans in the Los Angeles Coliseum on Friday night, October 4th. The score was closer than the game itself as the Broncos dominated the tussle from start to finish and only heroic defensive work on the part of the Bruins kept it from being higher. Nubby Wright received the opening kickoff on his own five yard line and returned it to the Broncos ' 48. Sanders went for three, then Johnson for two more. Wright fumbled but recovered for a five yard loss which was gained back by an offside penalty. Johnson passed to Sanders for a first down on the Bruins ' 32. On the next play Johnson passed again to Sanders in the right flat who caught the ball on the ten and went the remaining distance untouched. A determined Bruin team came back and led by Robinson and Bartlett marched 63 yards in twelve plays to the Broncos three yard line. Brilliant defen- sive work by the Santa Clara forward wall stopped the Bruins cold in four attempts from inside the three yard line. John Thorn End Page 26

Bradfield goes for last Bronc touchdown after taking pass from Casanega. ava 34 second string line literally charged right over the Utes as they attempted to protect their kicker. Frank Zmak, left tackle, brought down the punt with his chest, the ball bounced twenty yards further and was picked up by Alyn Beals, sophomore end, who ran the remaining ten yards to the goal line to put Santa Clara out in front 13 to 7. A few minutes later, the Broncos again tallied when Harry Sanders danced and snake hipped his way for seventy-five yards on a punt return, through the entire Utah eleven. The third guarter saw the Prune Valley boys ring up two more touchdowns. The first coming when John Hanna leaped high in the air to intercept a pass and then rambled twenty-five yards to chalk up six points. Ray Bradfield on the next Santa Clara offensive maneuver eluded the Utah safety man and took a pass from Ken Casanega on the visitor ' s two, and then stepped across into the end zone. Utah ended the day ' s scoring parade in the fourth period when Gay Adelt went thirty yards around the Bronco third string line to make the final score read 34 to 13. i av I 3 Dick Clar Halfbac Page 25

Robinson around right end for eight yards, then a tricky double lateral from Robinson to Bartlett to Mathews with the latter scoring standing up from five yards out. Santa Clara threatened several times during the second and third guarters but not until the start of the final period did they get their final three points. Buck Shaw opened the final guarter with a mixed second and third string on the field. The Broncos started on their own 37 and advanced to the Bruins ' 47 in five plays. Dick Clark dropped back and threw a long pass to Right Half Mathews who caught the ball flat on his back on the fifteen yard line. Matula got seven on an end around and Hanna went to the three on a power plunge through the middle. Here the Bruins stiffened and three tries at the line netted exactly nothing. Johnson was rushed in for an attempted field goal and put the ball sguarely through the uprights to give the Broncos the game. ...6 Dave Simmons Guard Page 27
