The prospects for the major ' clashes line up something like this: ., Fordham-Oregon State A slight leaning toward Fordham can be ex plained by the Earns' apparent su periority on the attack. -' Southern, Oallfomla-Oregon There's no tougher one on the list, iThe weak offense th Trojans have i shown so far gives the northwest out- fit an all but invisible edge. Michigan-Minnesota The crucial ' hurdle for Michigan's undefeated and ! untied Wolverines who rate a nar row edge.' i'i r Pitt-Nebraska The Panthers look slightly stronger. ' , Georgia-Auburn String along with Georgia's undefeated Bulldogs. '." Princeton-Navy Princeton's un beaten Tigers rule favorites. . Purdue-Iowa The Boilermakers should win, - Duke-North Carolina Another 'triumph for unbeaten Duke. Louisiana State-Mississippi Louls 'lana State, should win. Tcnnessee-Vondenbllt Tennessee n hnvrn thn stuff to elimin ate Vanderbllt. - ' i Penn-Penn State Penn the indi cated winner. ' " Army-Penn Military Army's re serves should take care of the Cadets. ', Stanford -Montana-Stanford. Kansas State-Oklahoma Kansas State perhaps a little stronger. Kansas-Iowa State A tie seems possible. ' : P .' Colgate-Syracuse Syracuse too In 'consistent for a victory over Colgate. ' Chicago-Illinois The mint look far superior. . Tulone-Kentucky Tulone is fo 'vored. Washlngton-U. O. L. A. A timid 'ballot for Washington. Dartmouth-Cornell Dartmouth ap ' patently the better team. Northwestern-Notxe Dame A tie looks like the best bet in this match ' between fumbling, uncertain elevens. Harvard-Brown Maybe this Is the ' spot for Harvard to begin to click. 1 Georgia Tech-Alabama Alabama 'rates the favorite's position. 1 Denver-Utah The champion In 'dlsns. 1 Columbia-Lafayette There's no choice here but Columbia. ' Ohio State-Wisconsin The Badg 1 ers apparently are In for another de- feat. OREGON-TROJAN GAME SATURDAY LEADS ON COAST SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17 (TP) In huge Memorial coliseum at Los An geles the unbeaten and untied grid Iron forces or .the University of Ore gon tomorrow will attempt to wrest directly from the University of South ern California Trojans (.$he Pacific coast conference championship: Win or tie, the Webfeet -will take home to Eugene the first' conference pigskin pennant Oregon ever has earned. But a Trojan ..victory will throw the already scrambled title race into a puzzle for statisticians. With the myth of ail Unbeatable Southern California eleven thorough ly exploded by Stanford university's 13-7 upset victory last week'.-the Web feet have grounds on which to base their hope of a win. . ; Records show 'that on their -'home field the Trojans have been' remark ably successful in turning back in vaders from; the cooler northwest .but the Webfeet point to their 7-0 vic tory over the University of California at Los Angeles earlier In the season as proof they will not wilt in the ex pected warmth. . It will be make or break for the Trojans, tied by Oregon State and beaten by Stanford. Stanford and the University of California, marking time before their annual "big . game" at Palo Alto, -will take on conference , opposition In gomes which may or may not prove to be breathers. California faces probably the hard est assignment in the University of Idaho Vandals, whose 150-pound quarterback, Willis "Wee SllUe" Smith, packs a potent scoring punch. Stanford's Indians, t flushed ; from their victory over Troy, will meet a University of Montana eleven that has shown more promise than any Grizzly team of recent years. At Seattle the U. S. L. A. Bruins and the University of Washington Huskies , both definitely out of the conference running, tangle in an ef fort to save the remains of rather dis astrous seasons. : On Sunday bay region fans will turn their attention to a "big game" second in interest only to- the Stanford-California struggle. The Oaels of St. Mary's and the Broncos of Santa Clara will meet In Kezar sta dium here and a capacity crowd is expected. Alabama has played ten intersec tlonal games since . 1922, winning seven, losing two and tying one. - A Belt Primo Takes Gladly Close Game Likely " On Pendleton Grid (Continued from Page One) tougher than when It was defeated hero In October, has been making, all necessary preparatlons. In addition to polishing up plays and defensive work, he has -' been working some of the regulars at dif ferent positions so that a last minute switch may be made without loss of strength. Hughey Irwin, end, may go Into the backfleld If necessary to relieve Jack Alvey; Hyde can take either V. Bean's end or Ralph De Bole's halfback position; M. Bean Is ready for assignment at either end, ani'i Peterson can handle' either tackle or 'wing back position. Cecil Walden, starting tackle, is suffering from a hip muscle sprain received in the Baker game' and may not be able to play all the game. Vlo Bean's shoulder Is not entirely recovered and Halley has been out of play all week because of an ankle Injury, although he may see action Saturday. , Coach Woodle plans to take every available player to Pendleton tomor row, leaving here between 0 and 0:30 a. m.

' Which strikes tho rost of tho state aa absolutely uncalled for, and as a direct blow aimed at what little state championship system now Is In use, La Grande High, beaten decisively by The Dalles, Is NOT In the race for a Thanksgiving day gams In Portland 10 wouldn't have a chance, so opin ions voiced here cannot be sailed prejudiced. But at least four Oregon schools- Bend, Ashland, Ontario and Medford still remain in the unbeaten daw, and one of them, the strongest pre sumably, should have an opportunity to play the Portland winner on Turk' ey day. Regardless of what other schools would say, the winner would have the clearest right to the "un official" state championship, an In centive to high ischool football that Is not detrimental to the sport;, In fact, the possibility of a game In Portland for the title serves to keep every strong oleven in the . state on Its toes, and unquestionably provides better football for every nook ,. ana oorner of Oregon. '-'- This state should and could have a real championship play-off in foot ball, but so far the state .board of control of the Oregon High School Athletic association keeps its blinders on whenever some plan is advanced. But, until the 'board sees fit to be come aware pf the need for suoh a play-off,' the present system Is the next best, and It should be preserved. Portland benefits most from the Thanksgiving day game for the "state championship" and Instead of trying to exclude upstate teams, should stretch a point if possible to' get tho best prep eleven outside, of; the Rose City Into Multnomah eta- After loosening itf.to the last notch, Col.
