Cougars, Bears : Play Saturday; Two Teams Even SAN FRANCISCO. Oct, 14 (AV-Attention of Pnclflc Const conference football followers will be focused on Berkeley tomorrow, when the Uni versity of California Benrs nnd the Washington 8tt college CoxiRnrs clash In one of the three conference games scheduled for this weekend. - The Cougars arrived In Berkeley today In what their coach. "Babe" HolllnRbery. describes as the best of condition, for their second conference engagement. It will be the first loop game of the season for tho Bears. Because o California's showing last week against St. MAry's. and because Washington State was equally Impres Ive. although losing, at Southern California two weeks ago. the game Is regarded as an even break here. At Portland, a slightly crippled, but still formidable U. C. L. A. eleven wilt meet the powerful Oregon unl- rerslty team which beat SantA Clara ,7 to 0 and held Washington to a 0 to 0 tie on successive Saturdays. -Oregon Is favored, but both teams -have regttlars on the injured lUt. At Missoula. Montana and Idaho will meet In tho annual ' big game" of that section. The little brolliers of the conference are fairly well matched this year, but Idaho, wl'h a fast versatile backfleld. Is the favor ite.

"Re.1" Severance (Written For The Associated Press! Mike Donahue, famous Yale star nnd one of the first northern coaches to bring football into the south, was a farm believer In the theory that all great punters gain their distance by keeping the right knee straight at the moment of impact. Donahue was coaching at Auburn. nd this particular year Auburn needed more than anything else a good punter. So Mike's eyes brightened during practice one day as he noticed a newcomer booting the ball far down the field and kicking through with a straight knee. Approaching the youth. Mike learned that he was a candidate for the line, but such kicking was too valuable that season to be burled In the forward wall, and Mike shllted him to the backfleld. As play started the youth crouched down but his risht leg stuck straight out behind. "Mere, lad." Mike shouted, "that's no way for a back to get down. Bring your knees up under you " Looking up with a disgusted ex pression on his race, the youth re plied. "I cant straighten that leg. it's weoden." University Oregon, Uclans .

The only one ofst March after he had served about Kta 2d loe?b?SJh.tthalthl. in which Hoover Is Ending Is one year of a ten year sentence fu letlcs and head football coach at the University of Chicago. "The greatest single influence for good in college athletics that football ever produced." was a tribute paid Stagg by Major General John L. Grif fith, commissioner of athletics of the Western conference. Tho life of Stagg has been synony mous with the development of inter collegiate athletics. No individual has equalled his Influence In contribut ing to the standards of college com petition. His skill as a coach Is uni versally conceded, but it has been as a 'sincere crusader for sportsmanship, honesty and high standards of ama teur sports that he has become in ternationally known. I nfalr Win Worthless Stagg has always Insisted that vic tory at the price of unfair methods Is not worth having; sports which do not contribute to character have no Justification. As a player, as a coach, as a member of the national football rules committee, of which he Is a senior member, he has been a leader In the development of football. He Is the most engaging figure in the sport. He put the game on its feet before there were any Joneses, War ners or Rocknes. before there were any stadia or headgear. Stagg has served the University of Chicago as athletic director and foot ball coach since It first opened its door back in 1892. a record without parallel in the sport. In those early days at Chicago, when there were Just a handful of students. Stagg. like many other coaches of the times, played on his own teams because he did not have enough men to make up a squad. Graduated as a divinity student at Yale. Stagg always practiced what he preached. He was a stickler for dis cipline, never drank nor smoked and would not stand for profanity. They recalled today that Stagg benched "Five-Yards" McCarty, one of his stars of a few years ago, because he used profanity in one of the Maroon games. Stagg was thrifty. He lived In a small, cheap apartment for years, so he could save enough money to en able him to pay cash when he bought his home. They say he never bor rowed a cent In his life. Stagg in his 41 years of service to tho University of Chicago placed the institution above personal success. Lno looked upon football as a means to an end. the well rounded develop ment of character, and not merely an end in Itself. Conscience to him meant more than applause. He was handicapped for years by the lack of first class material for winning football teams and his prestige with the public undoubtedly suffered seri ously. But Stagg never lost a night's sleep over tt. he never complained, never blamed anybody or apologized for anything. MKTCAI.F TO SVCCEED STAGO CHICAGO. Oct. 14 i& One of the most engrossing chapters in Ameri can football today was In Its clos ing pages, for Amos Alonzo Stagg will retire as director of athletics and head football coach at the University of Chicago at the end of the college year next June.

Stagg. clear-eyed and looking not more than SO of his 70 years, said he was "frankly, not con tent to do It": that he felt he Is good for 15 or 20 more years of ac tive service. His successor as foot ball coach will be named by Metcalf. who has given no Indication of his choice. In announcing the retire ment of Stagg. the board of trustees of the university said a new post, chairman of the committee on inter collegiate athletics, had been created for htm. Stagg. however, has not accepted the place. Jim Londos Will Meet Ed Leu is I LOS ANGELES.
