Injun-Husky Battle Feature Of Coast Slate By RUSS NEWLAND " SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 23-() -One of the most gripping chap ters of 1941 Pacific coast football history will be written on a northern battlefield Saturday. Defending conference and Rose Bowl Champion Stanford will be making a last ditch stand against Washington at Seattle. Neither of these two old time rivals can sur vive the shock of a second con ference defeat and cling to title hopes. The outcome Is equally Im portant to Washington, defeated out of the league by Minnesota and in It by Oregon State, the same team that wrapped the Stanfords in a blanket of gloom. Washington, a proven "mud- der" and playing on a home field expected to be softened by rain, probably will be the starting fav orite, despite the loss of its first string fullback, Jack StackpooL Whether : Stanford's celebrated T-formatlon will function better in anticipated wet weather this time than it did in the rain against Oregon State remains to be seen. The Indians go into the Washington game with the con dition of their star left halfback, Pete Kmetovic, questionable. He suffered a back injury against Oregon State and while able to practice this week may be of but little value in this crucial contest That Coach Clark Shaugh nessy may have decided that weight in the backfield will be preferable to speeed In ease of slow going was forecast this week. He shifted Milt Vucinlch, 200-pound fullback to left half, in addition to spotting husky ' Randall Faweett at the other halfback berth. The other three teams .tied for the conference lead, Oregon State, Oregon and Southern California, risk their championship standings but against less formidable oppo sition. uregon state, rested alter an open date last week, will be strongly favored to defeat three- times beaten Washington State at Pullman. Powerhouse Oregon fig ures to roll over UCLA at Los Angeles. The Southern California Tro jans face more difficult as signment but will line up m mild favorites to outscore the California Bears at Berkeley. The Bears already have lost two conference games but hope to add new backfield punch this time through the promotion of Kuss Messner to first string fullback. He .re places Jack McQuary, who was touted as the ' coast's standout at the position before the sea son opened bat thus far has been unable to get going. Idaho and Montana, league members not playing the round robin schedule, take. on Willaml ette and Montana State respeo tively. Although Idaho undoubt edly will be favored on its home field at Moscow, it w i 1 1 be up against a high scoring unit in the Willamette team.' Montana should win handily over its home state rival. GonzagansSet For Portland SPOKANE, Oct 23-The varsity ' backfield - at Gonzaga Thursday included two capable passers, Johnny "Sugar Scher- ger and Johnny -Mike Goodwin, and, Coach Puggy Hunton indi cated the pair would be his half backs Sunday in the game here with-Portland U, k . . , HuntoA said he planned to throw a double-barrelled over head attack at the Pilots and ex pected .the same in return.

Yet if Crisler's words appeared to spell doom for Michigan, there was something in his atti tude that belied any intention to concede Minnesota a thing. For one thing, while he talked he was stowing away a lunch whose pro portions hardly would have been the choice of a nervous man. "If you've never seen a Min nesota team, you're in for a sight," said Frits. "Never have you seen so many big men, and big men who are so fast all operating on the same squad. "Blocking? No, those boys don't block. They simply , run over you. Depth? Three deep all down the line, except possibly at end, where they have only five, poor fellows. And to show how good those lines are, last spring the so-called seconds beat the firsts by four touchdowns." To match , such man-power, Crisler insisted, he has just one line, with only one substitute he can rely on in the type of dog fight this promises to be. Yet if the picture was getting progres sively more. gloomy, the coach's attitude wasn't On what points, then, did he hold out hope for his Michigan : against . these. -golden gargantuan Gophers? 3 "Two," said Crisler. "Our line Is a fine line, faster than Min nesota's and just as tough, for ' as long as It lasts and when . we beat Northwestern, last week" 'as long meant .69 minutes for our ends, : Rogers and . Frau mann; the same for one tackle, Al Wistcrt, and almost as much for the other, Rube Kelts. The second factor Isn't so tangible, but I set great store by It This team had tremendous spirit In the Northwestern game, and if they can keep that alive they're going to do all right" Gamecocks Top Glemson 18-14 COLUMBIA, SC, Oct.'23-WV A hard-hitting band of South Carolina Gamecocks swarmed all over the heavily favored Glemson Tigers for, almost three quarters Thursday and then fought off a desperate; final period drive to come through with a sensational 18-14 upset- before 22,000 spec tators r The - defeat dropped the Ti mers, : defending Southern con ference champs, from the ranks af the "undefeated. j Less than five minutes after the opening kickoff the Gamecocks scored their Jirst touchdown with a 13-yard pass from Ken Roskie to Dutch Els ton and almost turned the game into a rout in the second period as they-gained at will with passes and running plays..

By WHITNEY MARTIN " NEW "YORK,- Oct 23-KSpecial to The Statesman) Using the No. 3 system of - picking football winners, we have just . figured-out that if Navy were to play . Tulane, Navy should win - by 111 points, or 17 touchdowns and nine extra points. Navy should do some thing : - about those missed ex tra points. : Whitney tSartis The No. 3 sys tem is the comparative score sys tem..

Coach Hauk, ill Wednesday, was reported much better Thursday and ready to direct his charges against the Fishermen. It Is probable the Salem men tor will start the same lineup which he has fielded in virtual ly every frame thus far this sea son. It includes Jim Wenrer and Rollie Haag at ends, Ray Loter and Lloyd Griffiths at tackles. Bob Falmateer and BUI Lind at guards. Bob Seders trom at center and Owen Garland, Dutch Simmons, Rex Hardy and Bud Coons In the backfield.
