The coast conference leaders started scoring in the second quarter with Leighton Gee, fast stepping half back, leading the parade that push ed four touchdowns over. Utah scored in the final minutes on a forward pass. UCLA, the underdog on their home field, gave their Berkeley brothers a scare in the first meet ing of the two elevens from the same university. Uclans pushed their way once to the Bears nine yard line and threatened on other occasions. California, playing a listleSs game, never drove beyond the Bruins 25. Leaping frankie Sobrero, tossine passes while jumping five feet off the ground, gave Santa Clara the edge in it’s 1870 win over Rice In stitute in the opener of their in terSectional series.
