Hoeppner, who had scored, against every Ivy opponent except Brown this year, raised the margin to 3-0 eight mintes into the second half. He dribbled around a fullback and lined a 20-yard shot into the lower left corner of the goal...

Even powerful Jesse Unruh, Democratic speaker of the lower house and longtime rival of defeated Pat Brown, appeared close to defeat for a time in his once-safe suburban Los Angeles district.
