That they don't mean anything, both you and I know, but alia " samee we love to hear ein talk it up. The Opinionated Mob. Jim, he'll tell you waving his arms likta cop hailing you to the curb, that the Oregona have a much more powerful offensive and therein lies the story of the game Bill, he'll swear the Oregons won't be able to gain 35 yards from rushing all afternoon against the big Orange forwards. Bob, he knows dern well the Beavers will power their way to one touchdown and pass to an other, thus beating the Webfoots by two touchdowns, and if you don't see eye-to-eye with him he thinks you re not a fit specimen with' which to associate. Even Mabel, she has her convic tlocs. She Just can't see how those Oregons, with their only too, too divine uniforms, could possibly lose or even be tied by a bunch of ill-clad farmers like those Staters. "My, my, they don t even keep their shirt tails in, she clucks, (and what a cluck); Angle Not Evident. Any one of these dyed-la-the-wool partisans may be right. For this department that game is the hardest to get an angle on of any this season. It's as unpredictable as a woman, any woman including Mabel. I've seen Oregon State In action thrice daring the season, against Idaho, WSC and Stanford. I've seen Oregon go four times, against Ucla, CSC, ldatwr and Washington. Tcrhaps 1 should alter those statements some what, for against Idaho the Beavers weren't in action none whatsoever and didn't move too . sumptuously against WSC, while Oregon didn't go any where against USC. The Oregon team that beat Ucla. Idaho and Washington could beat the Ore gon State team that looked so pitiful against Idaho. Hut so could have Podunk prep. The Oregon State team that beat Stanford could beat the Oregon team that played CSC, but -so could have Catawaba college. The Oregon State team that beat Stanford 'would play the " Oregon team that beat Ucla or Washington a whale of a ball game. That is probably the way it, will be.. The winner? See ya tomorrow on that score. And 1 do mean score. Peterson Stock Skies. . The urmory sock papas really staged a wow of a card Wednes day night. If that batch of bouts didn't satisfy the sourest of local fistic "sourpeez," they.'d better move their blood thirsty appetites to the ' Japanese front. - Buddy Peterson, the Independ ence clouter, gained more pres tige out of his draw with the wal loping chocolate drop from Seattle than he ever has in bouts he has won by clean knockouts here. Buddy, in coming back from being clunked cold at the bell In the opening canto, to outpunch Wat son and gain a, draw, decision, completely won the esteem of lo cal fistic followers. . A gamer fight has never been fought that Buddy's. Through the second,, third, fourth and fifth rounds Buddy couldn't have told you his own name. As the sixth was about to open he told his handlers to quit lying.to him when they were attempting to convince him it was the sixth round coming lin and he still had a chance to win. He thought it was the second As far as I was concerned it was Buddy's tight from the third found on. But the terrific lacing he took in the first two rounds miidn't be lauKhed off. The way Watson hooked lefts Into Buddy's head was a caution. In eamng me hont a draw Referee Frisco . wards probably did right. His de cision, the way I saw $t, merely revolved around the comparative scoring, with 'six of the eight rounds being won by Peterson, but Watson's knockdowns gaining him enough nolnts to merit a draw. Both boys can fight. A rematch, which isn't likely for at least a month because Peterson is booked to show In Tacoma and Seattle, should be a sellout here.

Rose Bowl Bid Filed at Once Bruins Score First, Hold Trojans at Bay Mo$t of Initial Half LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24-()-Sonthern California's Trojans crushed the hapless Bruins of University of California at Los Angeles under a 42'to 7 score to day and immediately set up a clamor for the nomination as the far west's representative in the Rose Bowl game. Sixty-five thousand grid fans watched the Trojan machine gain momentum after a shaky first half, and hand the battling Uelans their worst licking in many a year. The Southern California tri umph wound up the Trojan's con ference schedule and left them in a tie with California for the Pa cific Coast conference champion ship. The 10 members of the league will now ote on which team, USC or the Golden Bears, will go into Pasadena's famed game next January 2. Each has won six conference games and lost one the Trojans to Washington, California to the Trojans. Today's rout was a stunning surprise in so far as the final score was concerned. Southern California was a two-to-one or better favorite to trim its cross town rival, but no one dreamed the victory would- be such a top heavy one. The L'clans, dominating play for the better part of the tirst two periods, scored first when they got the ball on a Trojau fumble at the kickoff. Kenny Washing ton, the giant negro halfback star, ran and passed the Bruins 34 yards and fired a 10-yard touch down pass to Woodrow Strode, his dusky end. -The Bruins coatinued to run the Trojans silly until the middle of the second quarter. With the ball in midfield in Troy's possession, Jimmy Jones, a substitute back who seldom gets a chanceto play, broke loose on a 51-yard gallop. He was hauled down on the one, but Jack Banta another reserve, smashed it over The conversion was blocked by Johnny Ruland, Ucla's great cen ter. Bruin fans cheered, but not for long. Al Krueger, a sophomore end. intercepted one of Washing ton's passes and traveled 52 yards across the goal, and as the half ended, Troy led 13 to 7. SC's first team came out roar ing in the third period, and when the Bruins on fourth down gam bled for a yard and lost. Gren ville Lansdell, Bill Sangster and their varsity mates smashed down field 47 yards in eight plays. , That was the beginning of the avalanche. The Trojans drove 35 yards to the one-foot mark, sur rendered the ball on downs and then collected a safety when Bill Flsk batted down a Bruin pass in the end -zone. The Trojan second team took the field and early in the fourth completed a 57-yard parade, with Ollie Day scoring. A Bruin lateral was dropped back of the line of scrimmage, the Trojans recovered on the Ucla 16, and eight plays later the stubborn Bruins surren dered another touchdown. As the game waned, one of Washington's bullet passes bounced out of the receiver's bands into the arms of a Trojan, and in six plays the machine, now sprinkled with third and fourth string men, hammered to a touch down. Fourteen first downs to four, 272 yards running to 36 that was Southern California's statis tical bid for Rose Bowl considera tion. Gonzaga Departs For Loyola Game SPOKANE.

Idaho Beats Utah To Dim Its Title Vandals Outsmart, Charge Big Seven Champions; Roise Chief Star SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 24.-(.P)-Idaho university's mightiest football machine In a decade rolled over a frost-bitten turf with clock-like precision today to con quer Utah university's twice-tied but heretofore unbeaten eleven 16 to 0. The Utes, newly crowned cham pions of the mountain big seven conference, were outcharged, out fought and outsmarted. The Vandals from Moscow, in registering their sixth victory in 10 games against high class oppo sition, rambled up and down the field to threaten in every quar ter, meanwhile holding Utah's of fense to a single thrust which end ed 20 yards from payoff soil. Utah gained only 29 yards from scrimmage against 211 for Idaho. The Utes picked up 61 yards through the air compared with Idaho's 73. Harold Roise, Idaho's slippery and speedy halfback, sparkled in the backfield, while the entire Vandal line struck with lightning like speed to cut down Utah's her alded running attack.

(AP) Between bites of turkey, dressing, and the trimmin's, football coaches of the big ten pooh-poohed the idea proposed by Alvin "Bo" McMillin, head football coach at Indiana university, that the coaches take over the job of calling the signals in place of the quarterback.

He proposed that the coach should run onto the field before each scrimmage, go into a huddle with the players, tell them what to do and then scamper off the gridiron before the charge. Responding big tea coaches seemed to be of the opinion that McMillin was spoofing. "It's a game for the boys and not the coaches," commented Francis Schmidt, Ohio State men tor. "Lots of mistakes are made in trying to change a fullback In to a quarterback. Quarterbacking makes a better player out of a man capable of handling it. The signals and system should not be complicated and one number should be sufficient to tell who carries the ball and where." Xo Help Needed Bernie Bierman, coach of Min nesota, champion of the western conference, turned thumbs down on the idea. "The boys are out there playing the game and as far as possible tney snouid be playing it alone." he said. Harry Stuhldreher. University of Wisconsin coach, also laughed off the idea as did Friti Crisler. of the University of Michigan Crisler feels that the game is good enough as it is and that no chan ges should be made. Stuhldreher smilingly asserted that possibly McMillin might have had tough luck with his quarterbacks. "Those who always want to eliminate the point after touch down are the coaches who had tough luck In losinjr tames be cause of It," Stuhldreher said.

PAGE NINE Loop Officials Convene Today Northwest Conference to Eye Double Rounds for Basketball Northwest conference loop heads will have one major change to consider when they' convene to day and tomorrow in Portland In their annual, winter session, ac cording to word here yesterday. Howard Maple, Bearcat basket ball coach, will propose a double round-robin basketball schedule for the little entente, instead-of the single round-robin series now played. Keeae Pavors Change Roy S. "Spec" Keene, Willam ette athletic director, seconds Ma ple's nomination, that would give each conference team a two-game series at home with each confer ence opponent. At present but two games are played each year, with the teams playing home-and-home on alternate years. The double round-robin, thinks Maple, would put the Northwest conference more on an equal foot ing with the Pacific Coast confer ence, and more drawing . power would be presented by the align ment than under the present sys tem, where the member schools have to fill their schedules with klngs-x independent teams. Regular business that will con front the session includes drawl ing up of the 1938-39 basketball schedule, and the 1939 track and football schedules. Armstrong-Garcia To Draw Capacity Bigger Dynamiter Chosen by Triple-Champ With Nothing to Gain NEW YORK, Nov. 2 4-iiP)-One of the fiercest glove-fights seen here or anywhere else in many a day should happen at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night when Henry Armstrong., the un believable little negro, defends' his welterweight title against Cefer ino Garcia. Filipino blaster, for 15 rounds. Though it ever is dangerous to recommend a fight it being the mercurial business that it is this one promises to be a stem winder. They are the two best scrappers of their size In the world, and, barring Joe Louis, Armstrong comes close to being the fighter of a generation. The two of them the weaving. ever-ousy murderous little ne gro, and the full-muscled, dyna mite-laden Garcia will square off before a capacity house paying over 1100,000. So great has been the interest In this bout that it cast a blight upon the tight last week between Freddie Apontoli and young Corbett 3rd for the lor cal edition of the world's middle weight crown. For Armstrong, first ever to hold three ring titles simultan eously, the fight is a wild gamble. but a glorious one. He need not have fought Garcia, the most dangerous of the welterweight challengers. He could have snubbed Garcia and rested up for a defense of his lightweight crown against ex-champion Lou Ambers, a light-hitter. Routine Is Winner SAN FRANCISCO.

Cornell's big Reds squeezed into . the Ivy league berth through a scoreless tie with Pennsylvania and Tennessee continued its un defeated Southeastern conference campaign with a 46 to 0 rout of Kentucky. Southern California's Trojans overwhelmed the L'clans of the University of California at Los Angeles to gain a share in the Pa cific Coast conference laurels and reinforce its chances of becoming the western representative in the Rose Bowl. Not the big football terminal it once was, the holiday nevertheless packed about 300,000 passengers tor the express, with 70,000 pack ing Franklin field at Philadelphia for the Ivy league feature and an other 60,000 turning out for the Pacific coast spectacle. Throughout the east and south these football die-hards took as much of a beating as the Thanks giving turkey and more than their favorite football teams. Snows in Alabama It snowed as far south as Birm ingham, Ala., where Alabama closed its season with a 7 to 0 triumph over Vanderbilt, and games between Duquesne and Ni agara at Pittsburgh and Marshall and W. Va. Wesleyan at Hunting ton, W. Va., had to be called off. But in spite of the weather, or bncause of it, form was followed closely even to a 2 to 2 tie by Virginia Military and Virginia Polytechnic. Carnegia Tech, one of the east's outstanding elevens and beaten only by Notre Oame, closed its campaign with a 14-0 victory over North Carolina State and unde feated Vlllanova paraded through Manhattan 20-0. Some real holiday fireworks were displayed at Providence, R. I., where Brown outscored Co lumbia 36-26 in the season's high est scoring extravaganza in which both teams participated. This was a two man showbetween Irving (Shine) Hall, who counted four touchdowns and three extra points for the Bears, and Sid Luckman, who scored once for the Lions and passed for three other touch downs. Reserve Undefeated In the midwest Western Re serve won its 12th consecutive game by humbling Case School of Applied Science 13-3 and Dayton earned a tie for the Buckeye con ference title with a 25-0 conquest of Ohio Wesleyan. Stirring the Big Six stew into a new design, Nebraska beat Kan sas State 14-7 and Missouri topped its old rival Kansas 13-7. This mcved Nebraska and Missouri into a tie for third. The big news from the south west was Dana Bible's Texas team nosing out Texas A. & M. 7 to C for its first conference victory of the season. Arkansas and Tulsa battled to a C-6 draw. In the west Montana whipped Arizona 7-0, New Mexico over powered Colorado State 27-7, Den ver outscored Colorado 19-12 and Idaho stopped Utah 1C-0. Jim Crowley Gets 5-Year Contract NEW YORK, Not. 24.-(P)-Fordham university today signed Sleepy Jim Crowley, as its head football coach for another five years. Terms of the contract, the long est ever given a Fordham coach in any sport and the first ever given a football coach before the close, of the season, were not disclsed. Best guess is that Crowley will get in the neighborhood of $15, 000 a year. The Fordham eleven meets New York University in a traditional game Saturday.
