Text of the page (random words):
quarterback ned matthews 55 in the huddle called for a handoff to the fullback overlin heading around left end on a sweep interestingly enough the two players who will function as the lead blockers on the play the left guard frawley and the quarterback matthews are both lined up on the overloaded right side but immediately head for the running lane developing around the end of the weaker left side once the football is snapped to the left halfback washington backfield motion before the snap a hallmark of the ucla s single wing football circa 1939 is utilized but on this particular occasion the right halfback robinson is used as a decoy to lure stanford defenders away from the actual ball carrier overlin the right end on the indians defensive line is clearly determined to chase after robinson regardless of whether or the bruins lightning bolt takes the handoff from washington or as is the case not and it was the departure of the stanford end from that zone on the right side of the indians defensive line which truly enabled the play to unfold as it was designed to matthews instead of having to confront the stanford right end was free to get downfield and make a critical block on a different potential tackler ucla s final two offensive plays shown in the video highlights in question here come after robinson s dramatic fourth quarter interception and lengthy return his second run of more than fifty yards on the day indeed earlier in the opening stanza at stanford stadium the electric bruins right halfback had already reeled off 52 yards carrying the ball from scrimmage on the reverse play but there was is still yet more to come ucla s first offensive play following the turnover that is shown in the video highlights in question here gives the bruins left halfback washington the opportunity to show off his rocket launcher of a passing arm as kenny the kingfish connects with robinson over the middle for a 15 yard gain to move the ball inside the stanford ten ucla s final offensive play of the video highlights shows bruins sophomore fullback leo cantor 2 scoring the very first touchdown of his accomplished three year varsity career in westwood on a two yard run over left tackle once again the visitors use an unbalanced line although this time there is no pulling action from the left guard joe ruettgers 43 in this particular instance once again the tactic of a fake handoff to the backfield player in motion on the reverse route has the desired effect as the indians right defensive halfback hesitates by keeping track of robinson just long enough to drift out of a position to be able to effectively halt cantor 1939 stanford vs ucla comments off on analyzing 39 stanford vs ucla video highlights part one bruins offense filed under ucla football october 14 2018 2 54 pm 39 ucla bruins statless in seattle on the subject of sports photography on display in contemporary newspapers of the late 1930s it was certainly not uncommon at all for local editors to enhance the reader s visual experience by identifying many if not all of the different individual players appearing in any given game photo the above exhibit showing ucla bruins right halfback jackie robinson 28 turning the corner on his way to a 22 yard run during the first quarter of the pacific coast conference contest against the university of washington huskies that was played in seattle on october 7 1939 would be just one example for the purposes of historical research such labeled game photos are oftentimes quite convenient for what should be obvious reasons the bruins landmark 14 7 victory over the hosting huskies on the first saturday of october in 1939 was actually rather noteworthy for a variety of different reasons for starters this occasion marked the very first time in history that a visiting ucla squad had ever defeated a host washington team in seattle this after having endured consecutive shutout losses by the combined score of 36 0 on two previous trips to the upper pacific northwest furthermore it was this very same game that effectively served as the ncaa division i breakout party for one jackie robinson the highly touted incoming transfer from pasadena junior college who certainly lived up to all the preseason hype by amassing more than 150 total all purpose yards on rushes receptions and returns for the bruins at husky stadium regrettably as noted in a recent article the 39 washington vs ucla contest is especially conspicuous because it is the only one of the ten game reports from that historic bruins season on file here at this blog that does not have a breakdown of the individual rushing statistics for the warriors of westwood the los angeles times newspaper first began to publish thorough reports detailing the individual rushing statistics for ucla bruins games during the 1932 ncaa season although there would be some notable exceptions to this policy in the immediate years that followed the daily bruin and berkeley daily gazette the two other contemporary media publications which can be cited as sources for individual rushing statistics in the game reports presented here at this blog are also of no assistance in this particular matter as explained elsewhere in previously published articles here from various other sources including the archives at the official ucla football website it is known that ucla left halfback kenny washington racked up 142 rushing yards on 25 carries and that robinson added 45 yards rushing on six attempts in that pcc game against the huskies in october of 1939 washington and robinson s combined total of 187 net yards rushing is extremely thought provoking considering that the ucla bruins as a team ended up with a net rushing total of only 159 yards in that historic 14 7 victory over the washington huskies almost needless to say simple mathematics demand that there must be losses to account for and indeed as gleaned from various contemporary newspaper sources and then referenced in the applicable game report published here the bruins certainly did concede some considerable amounts of real estate on at least two of their possessions during that contest in seattle 1939 washington vs ucla the early first quarter fumble from ucla second string left halfback chuck fenenbock that was recovered by the washington huskies defense on the bruins 4 yard line actually culminated a backwards march which had commenced on the bruins 33 yard line and it is also known from contemporary newspaper reports that ucla after moving the football down to the washington 14 yard line thanks to a fenenbock to robinson pass play that covered 43 yards once again the bruins went in the wrong direction before surrendering the ball on downs at the washington 32 yard line so from just those possessions alone it can be correctly determined that the visitors accumulated nearly fifty yards worth of losses and that sum right there could adequately explain how kenny washington jackie robinson s combined net rushing total could have possibly exceeded that the entire ucla team as a whole but as the legendary college football coach and television analyst lee corso would be wont to say not so fast my friend it is also well documented that on a razzle dazzle play which involved multiple backwards lateral passes and gained a total of 52 yards altogether two ucla interior linemen tackle del lyman and guard jack cohen collectively advanced the football 32 yards after originally getting the pigskin from robinson and this particular sum of course must be accounted for in the bruins net rushing total as well from the statistical information that is available it is known that the washington huskies punted the football eleven times threw three forward passes that were intercepted by the defense and took advantage of that early first quarter turnover to score its one and only touchdown therefore after factoring in the two kickoffs which come at the start of each half it is easy to conclude that the ucla bruins had a grand total of fifteen possessions over the course of that entire contest that was played in seattle but just two of those possessions actually resulted in touchdowns the first of which only came in the latter part of the third quarter after robinson had returned a punt 64 yards to set up a short scoring run by kenny the kingfish so clearly there is plenty of room for still even more negative yardage futility on some of the bruins thirteen other offensive possessions fenenbock the versatile junior from pittsburg who had demonstrated potential during the 1938 ncaa season by rushing for 312 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore is definitely on the hook for at least some of the ucla negative rushing yardage versus washington in question here as a result of his disastrous fumble early in the first quarter it should be noted that fenenbock s production on the ground dropped off dramatically during his junior season in 1939 as evidenced by his paltry rushing total of just 69 yards in the bruins nine other games that term against teams not nicknamed the huskies indeed after averaging 4 22 yards per carry on 74 rushing attempts as a sophomore in 1938 fenenbock averaged only 2 65 yards on a mere 26 rushing attempts as a junior in 1938 it is strongly suspected by this blog s production staff that the washington huskies were actually able to tackle fenenbock while the ucla second string left halfback was attempting to pass on at least a few occasions it should probably also be mentioned that just one short week later the bruins would be consensus all america left halfback kenny washington lost 28 yards on one single play when he was sacked by the upset minded stanford indians the bottom line is that it is this blog s belief that fenenbock s individual rushing statistics from the washington vs ucla contest in 1939 simply are not pretty 1 comment filed under ucla football october 9

photo shows soon to be all america left halfback kenny washington 13 modeling the new threads in the midst of his 35 yard touchdown run against the intra state rival university of california golden bears during the pacific coast conference clash at the los angeles memorial coliseum on november 4th looking on in the background of the picture is fellow ucla senior woody strode 27 the soon to be all pcc end whose 22 yard touchdown reception from washington in the third quarter hammered the final nail in big brother s 20 7 coffin interestingly enough towards the bottom center of the photo lies an unidentified bruins blocker whose helmet has been separated from his head according the the rules of the collegiate gridiron game enforced nowadays any player losing his helmet on the field for any reason whatsoever must sit out for at least one play although application of that very same standard during the late 1930s would have been especially punitive given the existing regulations at that time regarding limited substitution tom sawyer s unique southern branch blog on ucla football has done and continues to do all the heavy academic lifting with respect to the relationship between the university of california at berkeley and the university of california at los angeles suffice to say the legislative connection between the two schools directly translated into an on field rivalry that was fierce if originally one sided right from the outset the golden bears refusal to meet the bruins on the gridiron until 1933 seven full seasons after all ucla athletic teams had formally joined its big brother as members of the pacific coast conference certainly did not do much to tamp down the overt intensity with this in mind in it is most thought provoking to note that of the three pacific coast conference member institutions located in the state of california bruins star left halfback kenny washington had the most career rushing yards in ncaa games against the historically strong golden bears than the perhaps oftentimes more highly regarded usc trojans this despite the fact that cal posted back to back ten win seasons and registered an overall record that was very comparable to that of southern cal during the exact same period spanning from 1937 through 1939 as it was for whatever reason kenny the kingfish actually piled up more yardage on the ground in three games against the golden bears than he did in a combined six games against both the trojans as well as the stanford indians easily the least successful of the three california based pcc teams during that specific era in question here california golden bears 53 att 258 yards 5 38 avg 2 tds stanford indians 56 att 132 yards 2 36 avg 0 tds southern cal trojans 49 att 91 yards 1 86 avg 0 tds as for the ucla vs california contest that was played on the 4th of november in 1939 this particular bruins vs golden bears tilt turned out to be one of the most productive ncaa games of kenny washington s entire three year varsity career in westwood aside from 141 yards and one touchdown rushing general washington also had a key 27 yard pass reception on a fake punt which directly led to another score on top of that the ucla star left halfback also threw two touchdown passes and was a tireless force on the defensive side of the football just for good measure washington s combined total of 168 yards from scrimmage via runs and pass receptions was his career best on behalf of the ucla bruins a scant four more yards than what had been accumulated entirely on the ground against the montana grizzlies

photographs featuring ucla bruins first string right halfback jackie robinson showing off his swivel hips move in a practice session specifically staged for the benefit of a contemporary local journalist armed with a so called miracle eye camera appeared in the los angeles times on october 28 1939 and is most fascinating for two very specific reasons to begin with robinson appears in a certain distinctive style of uniform that ucla stopped wearing at the conclusion of the 1938 ncaa campaign one season before the would be major league baseball hall of famer actually arrived on the westwood campus following his much ballyhooed transfer from pasadena junior college and then there is the publishing date itself which just so happens to be very same day that robinson scored his first two career touchdowns for the bruins in spectacular fashion during a 16 6 victory over the visiting oregon ducks at the los angeles memorial coliseum now it was not uncommon at all during the late 1930s for college football players to appear attired in game day uniforms as part of staged action shots taken in practice sessions oftent...
