Oct. 28 MV-The undefeated record of one moro Pa cific coast conference football team goes on the spot this weekend an Coach BUI Bpauldlng's unbeaten U. O. L. A. Bruins tangle with "Pop" Warner's formidable, though slightly crestfallen, Cardinals of Stanford at Olympic stadium In Los Angeles Sat urday. In spite of the Bruins' clean slate, experts along the coast who are still In the expertlng business after last Saturday's Stonford-U. B. C. game, venture the opinion the Cnrdlnaln will deTeat their southern opponents and that, after the contest, the Uni versity of Southern California Trojans will occupy the conference top posi tion alone. . Bruins the fnilcnlogrt The Bruins go Into the game as underdogs largely because of the losn of Joe Keeble, their star fullback and one of the coast's leading scorers, who Coach Spauldlng has said will be out of the contest with an Injured arm. The Cardinals, on the other band, will be at practically full strength for the game. Stanford's one defeat of the present season occurred last Saturday at the hands of the Trojans, 13 to 0. The other games the Cardinals have won by Comfortable margins. The Bruins, however, could only eke out a 0 to 0 win over Idaho and an even narrower 12 to 7 victory over Oregon. W. 8. C.

No Over-Emphasis With This Guard By O. W. "lied" Keveirnce (Written For The Associated Press) Charles B. "Gus" Dorals, athletic director and head football coach at the University of Detroit, tells an in teresting yarn to prove football Is not over -emphasized. "Qus Ruhlln, a Dig guard, was the man I have In mir.d. On the cvo of one of our most Important games a few seasons ago, our reg ular right guard was Injured, and white Z started him in the game, I knew he wouldn't last long. "Huhlin was his substitute and I tried to Impress on him that a lot of responsibility for our victory rested on: his shoulders. I gave him a 'pep talk that would have melted a heart of stone. "Sure enough, our regular guard's injured leg gavo way In the second quarter of one of the most excit ing games I ever have seen. When I found thnt my star guard wns through, I yelled to Ruhlln to get olf his sweater and go In. To my surprise, he didn't make any move to comply. "Then I hurried down to where ho waa sitting, and I found out why ho hadn't Jumped when his big chnnco for glory came. He was sound asleep. In spite of all the yelling, and I had to shake him to wnke him up.

(Joiild j (Associated Press Sports Editor) j You may hear more about Johnny Grady, weight 158 pounds, from Som-) ervllle, T.tss., and left halfback on ' Team "C" of the Harvard varsity foot- j ball squad. I Harvard's head coach Eddie Casey, j says Grady Is one or the finest natural i ball-carriers ho has ever seen, al though tho fact Is that Johnny, a j senior, never played football of any i kind before this year. '' ( Grady got on the squad by rea son of playing tennis with ,one of Casey's assistants last summer. Tho coach sensed an unusual gift for foot work In the way Grady covered a ten nis court. He asked Johnny, Just for fun. to come out for practice and see how ho liked ,the gridiron sport. That's how It started and the usually conservative Casey will tell you now that things happen when Grady carries the hall as an under study for the powerful Jack Crlck ard. Crlckard helps soften up tho opposition under tho Harvard sys tem, then Pcscosolido. Locke and Grady gallop In. Grady has a nat ural change of pace plus raro speed. He directs his own inter ference besides manifesting a gift for timing his movements to avoid enemy tacklers.

M WE-Pf9CE,MI89l.... r FOUt "KKV" MEN' "Most every football team," Head Coach Casey told a gathering of football folks at the Harvard Club of New York, "depends on three or four key men to sustain any kind of successful plan. An Injury to any of these often will explain why a team suddenly slumps or falls to recover Its usual stride. "At -Harvard we rely on four men to keep the balance. They are Hardy, 220-pound left tackle; Esterly, run ning guard; Captain Hagcman, right end, and Jack Crlckard, left half back They hold the key to our at tack and defense." Irn Hardy of Minneapolis very likely Is the best football guard In tho east, if not as good as any in tho... country,, including the re nowned Bill Corbus of Stanford. The Crimson lineman handles his weight easily. CAN'T It !: PLACE FOOTBALL Harvard and Yale, incidentally, havo no Idea of pursuing the idea of curtailing their intercollegiate gridiron schedules. The Jiew ath letic administration at New Haven shares with Bill Bingham, Harvard's athletic director, the conviction that it takes big-game gate receipts to sus tain the widely developed sports pro grams. "It's useless to talk of commercial ism In football unless some way is found to replace the money derived from our gate receipts," says Bingham. !
