Looking at the Bay. Paul Smith had been brought to the Chronicle as an editor in 1933 by his friend and patron, George T. Cameron, now 79, whose wife is one of the four heirs to the paper. But by last week, George Cameron was no longer the only owner's voice. His nephew, Charles Thieriot, 39, was taking a more active interest in the Chronicle as boss of the paper's TV station, and his younger brother, Ferdinand Peter Thieriot, 32, was on the job as a circulation executive.

...Backs to the wall on their own 18-yd. line following the second-half kickoff, Sears & Co. (he plays both offense and defense) held fast, then broke the game open with another dazzling and impromptu burst. This time, Sears was a bystander as Defensive Tackle Elmer Willhoite intercepted a Cameron pass and chugged his beefy, 210-lb. frame down the sideline for 72 yards. For the next three downs the U.C.L.A. line held firm. On fourth down, with four yards to go for the touchdown, it was all up to Jimmy Sears...
