Picking The
" Grid Winners
For Tomorrow
By Herbert W. Barker
lr v NEW vYORK, Nov. 17 VP) Another
banner array of big time games Sat
'urday. 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

feat.
OREGON-TROJAN
GAME SATURDAY

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. -

GRID GAME IDEA
DOESN'T PLEASE
lly Nolan Skiff
There appears to be a movement
on in Portland this fa'll and It Is
being supported by some newspaper
writers i In the Oregon metropolis to
match two of the Portland high
si'hoot elevens for the Thanksgiving
day Hhrlne benefit game in Mullito
niali stadium. '
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. John Kllpatrlck, president
of Madison Square Garden, finally got tho new heavyweight cham
pionship bolt around the stomach of Primo Camera. This Is ono
kind ot belt that Camera can take.. Ho has one leg on It, by win
ning the championship, but must successfully dotend it twice be
fore It is his permanent property.
