If Westerners Win It Means
Honor for Southern

California Team That Will Play Georgia Tech
Hi I10I1 MATHKKNK
NKA BtTvIca H porta Writer,
Tlio opioiiunlly fur one of. two
tt'ania bfin aerlulined as national
football tiiampiou without the
nuimnre of bf vend pi't-'trnders to
the throne standing about pre-J
pnts itat-lf tli in year in Uih annuiil
Tuurnamtnt of Itimes gaiiie ou
New Vear's day.
Tne Kaiut, uiiiUe some of the
others in rinoiit yours, does carry
a champions hi p tinge, with Georgia
Tech and Lniver.Hity of California
as contenders and the outcome
should make either fit'orla Tech
or Southern California the national
chainpious. And that 1h siiid Willi
due knowledge that anv loyal Call-
foiniiin will mnt tht matter out I
for the Golden Hears.
Georgia Tech, unseat en an un
tied, is regarded as the be'ji team
of the east at this time. It niUhi
be said that It is a southern team
but In this I'asadena game It is re
garded as an easterner and will k
down in defeat or up in victory as
an eastern team.
California, however, doesn't
rank as I'aclflc coast champion.
Southern California was awarded
tiie title and on the face of thlUK.
with a victory over Stanford that
tied California and a tie witii Cali
fornia, deserves 11. California, at
the best, can rank but a halt-sharu
of the title and to kHo them that
necessitates loss of memory on
two tie games. One tie seems bet
ter than two ties.
AH of that means Georgia Tech,
by winninK. will gel the title. Cali
fornia, should It win, will make the
title secure for Southern Califor
nia. Because of this championship
element, the game this year Is
causing more whoopee out ou the
1'acific Blnpes than any Tourna
ment of Hoses game has in years.
Hose Howl ollldals look for a Hell
out and why shouldn't they sell
7l),(H0 tickets when u chatnplon
uiiip battle is Die menu of lured?
Other than this championship
angle, the fact that California Is
back in the money out there and
Koing along with the beat In a foot
ball way Is causing great Interest
In the game. The Hears haven't
been in on the I'asadena game
since 1122 when they held Wash
luston and Jefferson to a scoreless
tie. They have one other game to
their credit at i'asmlena, played
the year before against Ohio
ytate. They won, 2S I).
The fart that CuHlornia In hi the
money t his year is a IjIk boost lor
Nib 1'rii-L', their young coach, who
wad aliuut to be limited out of his
Job before Ihe season opened. Hip
teams weren't much In nnd
Vj2H, but his team this year was
ruled Just about 'the best defensive
Biittlt of ill a mm1 I Ion and this fact
stopped a lot of the talk arouiiu
Berkeley that the Heats needed a,
coach.
California Is ihe be.t defensive
team of that section. Only (wo col
lege opponent scored against this
aggregation. Wartiuugiou .state wut
beaten, b.il nicked a Held goal.
Stanford was lied but scored 13
points. The 01mplc club, a team
composed of ex-college ulais, trim
med them 12 U, but victory In (hat
game was not ell import-"- 10 the
college boys. Victories oi the year
were made at the expense "f Sau'
ta Clara, St. Mary's, Washington
Statu ami Nevada. All were shut
out and the Southern California
team also was shut out In a score
less game.
Thin fact makes It seem as If
Georgia Tech is ill for a Inunher
allernooii on New Year's day than
It lias had all season. Tim south
erner are noted for their defens
ive tactics also, ami It looks like it
U going lo be a ease of dog eat dog
when thesettuo teams meet.
One thing Is ccrtnln, the south
enters will find the California
flanks guarded by Ihe bent puir )f
ends they have played against this
t.'usoii C;iptulti Irvine i'hlllipH,
cho'.ie of iiiiiuy experts for an All
America h- rih. Is on one wing and
a Fophoiitore mimed Kuhs Aeiy,
who hapiHiis to be m old Olympic

Tin y are good, its a pair and bh In
riHiiiuaU, and plenty hard lo gel

Tlie Calitoriiin eleven doesn't

but they are preliy tough on de
fense and they may have a sur
inise offeiiMe. like they showed
ugalnl I'entinj IvHiiia in ti nowi- j

the soulliein team. They have
