Utah PJays O.-S. 0 Trojans
Tackle Washington South-
Methodist Meets St. Mary's
Eleven. .
By Russell Newlancl

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 80 W)
Odds and ends of a thrill-filled far
western football season will be clean
ed up this weekend .with the final
Pacific coast conference game and
;two intersectlonal struggles to be
played.
Southern' California's Trojans win
ners of six conference contests to date
and potential champions of the big
western circuit, will face Washing
ton's HuskteB, at Los Angeles.
While there Is nothing in Wash
ington's record so far this season to
indicate -It -has the material to cope
with,, . Southern California's k nown
' power Coach. Howard Jones Is not
.taking the game lightly. His Trojans
will have had two weeks to rest from
tho hard engagement with , Notre
Dame while practice has gone on
steadily.
Mustangs Meet tJaclH
'In the name of charity, Southern
Methodist's Mustangs and St. Marys
Gaels will meet at San Francisco and
on the same day and In the same
cause, Utah will line' up against Ore
gon State at Portland.
' Southoan Methodist played to a
scoreless tie with Texas Christian,
last Saturday, to finish Its regular
season undefeated and win. the south
west conference title. After a sonsa-
tlonal early season start, St. Mary's
lost two games within four days, but
showed a return to form Thanksgiv
ing, day with an Impress! vo victory
over the University of Oregon. The
Gaels opened the season with a
stunning 43-7 win over Southern
California and week later, downed
California. 14-0. Four other victories
were chalked up In as many weeks.
i ,. Utah Invades Oregon
Utah invades the home territory of
Oregon with a remarkable record. Un
der Coach Ike Armstrong's leadership,
,tho tries this season won their fourth
consecutive, flocky Mountain ? confer
once championship. Oregon State's
coast conference activities wore not
impressive, with one victory, throe
defeats and a tie. Utah already has.
sampled, coast conference competi
tion, losing a 7-0 gome to Washing
ton , early In the season. On the
strength of that showing, the Utes
probably will be fuvorlteB over Ore
gon state,
The Washington -Southern Califor
nia encounter offers tho possibility
of a technical tie. Unexpected victory
for Washington' would put Southern
California In the class of being de
feated once, a position now hold by
California. It has been the custom
to award tho conference title on a
"games won and lost" basis. But in
asmuch as Southorn California play
ed a sevon-game schedule, compared
to five games for California, and It
also defuated California, 0-0, It would
have the strongest claim to tho title.
A similar situation between tho nnmo
teams exited a few yearn ago and
California waived its olnlm,

Tariff Equality
Is United Plea
Of Farm Groups
By Frank I. Wellcr
(Associated Press Farm Editor)
WASHINGTON (P) On tho eve of
,a new congress the Farmers' union
,1s the third national farm organiza
tion to lift Its voice against existing
tariffs. -
1 A resolution adopted at the an
,nual convention In Des Moines, Iowa,
condemned tho Hawley-Smoofc tariff
act as "not giving us equality" (with
Industry).
In urging the export debenture
tho National grange has renewed Its
demand, "Tariff for all or turlff for
none," and tho American Farm Bu
roou federation,' still to hold its an
nual meeting, has -complained of
Ineffective duties on agricultural Im
ports. 1 ' -
Neither organization has publicly
favored such a tempestuous revision
of rates as the last congress ran into,
but they want something done to
give tho farmer a protected Home
market or lower the prlco ho pays for
his Implements and homo necessities.
Trinle Movement Mold Hack
Tho thought is said to be protty
general among farmors that, encour
aged by this government's action in
1930, tho whole world has plunged
Into a war of countervailing duties
which have held back the frco move
ment ot trade.
The domestic situation Is cited In
estimates that 'from July 1 to Sept.
30 America!! exports of agricultural
products amounted In value to but
41168,000,000 compared with $280,
000,000 a year ago, when oven then
business wasn't any too good.
. Whllo somo of this is attributed
to lower prices, thoro Is no question'
that unsettled trade condition?
canned a shrinkage in volumo.os well
as in value. '
Bo that as It may, tho period saw
a largo Import balanco against the
United States in tho foreign trade
of agricultural products. This coun
try bought $220,000,000 of farm pro
duco compared with $201,000,000 lost
year.
i:pnrts Don't Poy For Imports
Non-compotlttvo products, such as
silk, tea, coffee, sugar, spices and
drugs made up the greater part or
thcKo imports, but the fact remainn
thut in tho first quarter of the cur
rent year exports of produqts of tho
bo 11 we ro not sufficient to pay for
imports In tho same brood category.
Tho situation has led to tho sug
gestion from Roproscntotlvo Italney
of Illinois that present tariff rates
stand, but that congress enact a
bill lowering all schedules, tho lower
ratcs to bo invoked on any item or
group of items by presidential proc
lamation on notice from tho tarirr
.commlHBlon that somo foreign no
tion has lowered Its rates ' on the
same products. '
