How the Cougars Beat the Bears * Arbelbide Crosses the Goal Line
Photo: ALL ALONE and over the Bear goal line goes Ollie Arbelbide, Cougar backfield ace and big hero of the W. S. C. victory over California yesterday.
FEW MEN even touched Arbelbide on his forty-nine-yard return of a punt to the lone score of a great content, his mates doing some great blocking and interfering.
GUS CASTRO, Bear quarter, is shown on the goal line crouched in an attempt to hit the speeding Cougar. But, Castro was entirely too late as were other mates.
NUMBER 17 of the Bears, who chased Ollie, is Christie, California center. Number 32 is Carol Gill, right guard. Note the helping Cougars who trailed the game’s hero.

BERKELEY, Calif. (Oct. 15, 1932) -- Seven and one-half seconds
Seven and one-half seconds ended it all yesterday at Memorial Stadium.
In seven and one-half seconds Ollie Arbelbide, brilliant Cougar quarterback, knocked the Clolden Bears down and out of the race for a Pacific Coast Conference title.
In seven and one-half seconds, after receiving a beautiful long high punt on the Blue and Gold 49-yard line, Ollie Arbelbide was away, down the side lines -- out toward midfield-- back toward the sidelines -in behind perfect blocking as he neared the corner of the turf out once more, with three men in front of him, and over the goal, without so much as having been bumped once in the progress of the dash to the end zone.
SCORE 7-2.
Abelbide still had time in the seven and one-half seconds to hold the ball, while George Sander kicked the goal, and the Cougar of Washington Stat had the points by which they smashed the California Bears, 7 to 2, in one of the most exciting battles yet fought out in this new football season.
Washington State had more than is indicated in that one brilliant dash.
Washington State had the power to out gain the men under "Sailor Bill" Ingram. Washington State had the attacking strength with which the longer marches were staged.
W. S. C. had by far the greater punch in her off tackle running to the left side; VV. S. C. had punting, exceptional punting by Sander, Moses and Arbelbide;
W.S. C. had passing that IS passing as demonstrated by this same Sander, and W. S. C. had, in fact, just everything a team needs to win a game of football.
California without Sehaldach and California with Sehaldach, for California worked both ways yesterday, just couldn't bowl through Cougars when it was a matter of hitting the goal.
Three times the Bears were inside the twenty-yard line with first down and everything to go, but each time there were too many Beldeles, Sanders, Ericksons and Sennas on that goal line who would not be shoved out of the way. California picked up two points late in the fray for the reason that Frank Ingram. W.S. C. center, passed the ball over the head of Moses who was back to receive it, and Moses was forced to chase it clear back behind his own goal, and the Bears had a safety and two points.
But the points contributed by this Frank Ingram were the only points made for the Sailor Bill Ingram forces yesterday.
Frank is no relation of Bill's, and you can bet safely that the Cougar center had no intention of doing anything for William. California's defense was a little aggressive at that point and Frank was a little too excited in getting the ball away.
In any event, Bill can thank Frank for the absence of a whitewash on the old score board for those two points were all the Golden Bear could get by any method or means.
SCHALDACH IN
Ingram did everything. He started Williams at left half. He put Schaldach in immediately after the Bears failed to go over the line on their first march with Williams.
