Undefeated and untied in eight games, they had rolled up 162 points to their opponents' 65, had clinched the Conference championship, had one cleated foot in the Rose Bowl. Before a roaring crowd of 80,000, they completed their amazing jump from cellar to Rose Bowl, outplaying California (13-to-7), just as they had outplayed San Francisco, Oregon, Santa Clara, Washington State, Southern California, U.
