  UCLA Routs Stanford, 72-O, For Worst Drubbing in History LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16.- UCLA’s unbeaten Bruins today buried Stanford under a 1910 score, the worst drubbing in the history of one Of the Oldest schools in the West. A deadly pass defense and spectacular ground attack by the team rated No. 8 in the Nation last week literally crushed the Indians under an avalanche of IL touchdowns. AS the UCLA Homecoming Day crowd of 70.555 filed out of the Coliseum historians dug back in to the record book to find a parallel. They had to thumb clear back to 1901 and the first Rose Bowl game to find the next worst Stanford licking--a 49–⁠0 score rolled up by Michigan. -Four times in the first hall
