Stanford's Year? 1 Those who cheer for Stanford be llevo this Is the' year. Warner's In dians have improved consistently from week to week. Saturday they trounced tho West Coast Army eleven, 26-0. Substitutes shouldered tho . burden of the work. On the snme day, Southern California was hard pressed to eke out a 6-0 win over Loyola of Los Angeles although there Is no doubt Coach Jones was conserv ing In every way preparatory for the big game a week from today. Southern California's two confer enco wins to date were gained over Washington Stato and Oregon State, by scores of 20-0 and 10-0 respective ly, Stanford's ono conference ap- pcarance resulted in a 27-0 victory ovor Oregon State.

Washing ton's conference activities thus far resulted In a scoreless tie with Ore gon The Huskies were idle Saturday whllo their coach, Jimmy Phelon, scouted the Bears. What Phelan saw was enough to make his team the favorite over the Bears. Washington Stato overpow ered California throughout most of the game, scoring a touchdown In the second quarter; staving off three touchdown drives and then present ing two points to tho opposition In a rrtlhplay that saw tho, ceatojr pass thd ball out of tho ond nond to per mit a safety. ' v ' " " ' Washington State's brilliant victory resulted from almost perfect team play, with sparkling individual per formances by Ollle Arbelblde, quar terback, and George Bonder, halfback, as contributing factors, Arbclblde's 48-yard runback of a punt aided by great blocking accounted for the touchdown whlto Sander added the try for point with n placcklck.

Sport Slants lly Alan J .(iould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Tho city limits of San Diego. Col., bruin away out ln the brown hills. You can zoom olong the concrete for miles before you strike habitation. Tho sporting interests of this thriv ing city cover an equally wide range. You can get an argument there on any athletic subject. San Diego turns out athletes, like Bill Miller and Lee Ha ma tie. as well as fans who do not hesitate to write or wire their views on cur rent subjects. I recall distinctly a warm telegram of protest that r""' " m irinuun lo that American nthletes remulned I ;01" ot Ul, opening Olympic cere- i '"" v wear and tear on 1 lr '''ot' 'hl,' mlr foreign rivals i ",r m"rcn maurr 01 Pmrlotlc ohllgntloii.

This athlete was Moiyan Taylor.! tho world record-holder in the 400 meter hurdles. Niev comes a letter from Jerry Burns of San Diego, who signs him self an ex-ball player and fan and makes the mistake of giving us an argument on the 1925 world series between Washington and Pitts burgh. Ho writes: "You made the following ' atato ment In the Ban 'Diego paper: 'No team ever no lost a seven-game world series after winning the first two games.' How -about the 1035 series? Washington not only won the first two games, but the first three games and then lost the next four to Pottsburgh. My memory of that series Is very vivid for the simple fact that I lost $500." HASN'T HKEN DONE ' But not quite vivid enough. Wal ter Johnson pitched Washington to victory m the1 first game, but Vic Alldrldgo hurled the Pirates to tri umph in the second. The Senators then won the next two games In Washington and appeared to have the world championship all wrapped up. The Pirates rallied, however, and took the next three In a' row for one of the greatest come-backs In baseball history. The final game was a thrjller, decided by Klkl Cuy ler's two-base blow off Walter John son with the bases full.' Wo repeat, therefore, that no team ever has lost the world series after taking the first two games, when seven games were the -limit.

Barker ' NEW - YORK, Oct. 17 UP) A score or more of the nation's football ma chines stood forth today as logical contenders for Bectional champion ships, with most of them hoping for eventual consideration in the chase for the mythical national title. With the 1932 campaign drawing toward the half-way mark, these teams, on the basis of the won; lost and tied records, seemed to hold the edge: Midwest Michigan and Purdue of the Big Ten; Notre Dame. East Pitt, Colgate, Fordham, Penn. Harvard, Columbia and New York university. 1 South Tennessee, Kentucky, Au burn and Virginia Polytechnic. Far west Southern California and Stanford of the Pacific Coast con ference; St. Mary's of Oakland. Southwest Texas ond Texas Chris tian. Rocky Mountain Utah and Colo rado university. ! Of these. Michigan, Purdue, Pitt, Colgate, Tennessee and Texas fur nished most of the fireworks Satur day. ' ' - Pitt, playing a schedule clearly en titling the Panthers to national con sideration should they wade through it undofeated, tripped Army's crack eleven, 18-13, fighting off a last minute Army rally that put the ball on Pitt's 12-yard line. Michigan, with, the aid 'of Harry Newman's passes, turned back Ohio State, 14-0, to keep its record un spotted. Purdue won over Dr. Clar ence Spears' - fighting Wisconsin eleven by tho Blender margin of Par donner's successful try for point after touchdown, 7-6. ' Tennessee took another stride to ward the southern conference crown by whipping Alabama. 7-3 as two other prime favorites, Vanderbilt and Tulane, tied. 6-6. Texas, coming fast now after a slow start, won Its second successive lntersectlonal battle from a Big Six opponent, halting Oklahoma's Soon ers. 17-10. Any doubts as to the power ln Col gate's machine vanished as the Ma roons trounced Lafayette, 35-0, In a gamo Colgate had been expected to win by hardly more than a touch down; i ' Other eastern surprises Included tho defeat of Yale by Brown. 7-2, New York university's show of power In swamping Georgetown, 30-0. and tho fine showing of the Princeton Tiger In- holding Cornell to a score less draw.
