Three months ago, Oregon State would have been favored to whip Oregon; Washington to down Washington State; Stanford to tramp on California and UCLA to thump USC. But the “big” games of the week find the reverse true in every in stance—the result of one of the most topsy-turvy football seasons in the history of the west coast. UCLA, unbeaten in conference play in 1946 and the Rose Bowl representative, - opened the 1947 season with a resounding 22-7 vic tory over Iowa and the Bruins were expected to romp to their sec ond straight Pacific coast confer ence championship. But in Satur day’s fray the Trojans of USC, un defeated this year, are favored by seven points. California, coming off one of its worst seasons, wasn’t expected to have much this year—probably do well to win half its games. On the other hand, Stanford has rated by many the “dark horse” of the PCC chase. Put there is many a slip betwe';.'- the opener and the closing of a football race and in this in stance Stanford comes to the game with a record of no victories and eight losses; California with eight triumphs and one defeat. Pi Kappa Phis Win In Wednesday’s volleyball ac tion the Pi Kappa Phis defeated the Legal Eagles instead of the reverse, as was reported. Playing with only five men the victors knocked off the Eagles two games out of three after drop ping tiie first. The Pi Kappa Phis started their victory in the second game as they knocked off the Eagles, 16-14, and turned the final frame into a rout, winning 15-5. IM Playoff Cuts Field Of Entrants . The first play-offs of the 1947 in tramural volleyball season went into the books yesterday afternoon as two high-geared upper-division outfits, ATO and Sigma Chi reg istered their initial title-seeking triumphs. The remainder of the day’s action found another pair of squads battling their way into the lower-division play-off and still an other pair writing the last chapter of their 1947 season. Sigma Chi Wins Headlining the afternoon’s ac tion was the Sigma Chi’s two out of three game play-off victory over the Delts. The initial tilt of the three game set was a see-saw af fair for the first ten points as both squads matched point for point. However, the Sigs pulled it out of the fire as they battered the net for five consecutive counters', totake the issue 15-11. The second game was a complete reversal from the first as the Delts jumped into an early lead and maintained it throughout the battle as they won handily, 15-7. In the third and de ciding game the issue was in doubt until the final moments as both teams battled to the wire in an ef fort to grab the bacon. It was only in the fading moments that the Sigma Chis registered a narrow 15-13 to take the series. ATO Hot The defending champions of ATO continued to find things much to their own liking as they trounced an outmanned gang of Sig Eps by 15-5 and 15-9 counts to notch their fifth straight triumph of the year and snare their initial play-off win. Both games were run off in much of the same manner as the defend ers nabbed an early lestd at the out set of the contest, and then coasted in. In the lower division the Sigma Nus gained the play-off as they (Please turn to page five) Model 547 ...NOT A MINIATURE, BUT A BIG MODEL So handsome-to look at . . . wonderful to hear ... the new 1948 Emerson table model radio.
