California stood out today as the
leading contenders for first place in
the Pacrftc coast conference race.
With an unblemished conference
record. Stanford now rules the fav
orite and will unanimously be vot
ed leading conference eleven pro
viding U. S. C. fall before the on
slaught of Washington. December
3.
The latter pasibility Is quite prob
able. Tomorrow the Trojans, with the
confidence of the undefeated, en
train for Chicago, to meet Notre
Dame next Saturday.
Immediately following their clx.h
with Knute Rockne's Carriers they
start back to Los Angeles and will
arrive home barely in lime for a
light practice session before they
meet the Washington Huskies.
That came will spell finish for
the 1!27 Pacific coast conference
season. If U. S. C. wins it will tic
Stanford for high honors. If Wash
ington defeat U. S. C, Stanford will
head the list.
Idaho holds a technical claim to
the title. The Vandals, however.
have been tud twice by teams low
in conference rating and have not
met any of the leading conference
squads. The Vandals' claims are
based on victories over Oregon Agri
cultural College and Montana. O.
A. C. has been deicatcd by three
conference teams and Montana has
fallen before four.
Stanford jumped the last. hurdle
Saturday when Coach "Pop" Warn

Charley Paddock Plans
Return To Track With
Olympic Games In Mind
By Alan Gould
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 21 (P)
Charley Paddock has no idea of
taking a serious turn at indoor
sprinting this winter but the blond
California veteran is lully dcternv
ined to try out for the Olympic
team next psring, ambitious to do
something that no American
sprinter has ever achieved repre
sent this country in three succes
sive Olympiads.
nere to attend the convention of
the Amutcur Union as a southern
California delegate, a role contrast
ing with the somewhat sharp con
met he had with the A. A. V. sev
eral years ago paddock declared
his spiked shoes are still in the
ring."
"I'm getting a bit old." he said,
"but maybe there is still a kick
left."
What I'd like to do is to have
one good race say against a man
like Chet Bowman, the national 100
yard champion early next spring,
either in the east or west, to deter
mine what sort of shape I am in.
Bowman may consider trila a chal
lenge, in fact, he wants to. That
would give each of us something
to get in shape for and make it
easier later on to work up to the
Olympic climax. My idea would be
to make the race a feature of a
meet in some big eastern city for
the benefit of the Olympic fund."
Paddock lias helped the United
States score 24 'a points in the
Olympics in the prints and relays.
This ia more than any oilier
P
WW
American star has collected but the
stocky Californian wants to set a
higher mark for newcomers to
shoot at.
One of Paddock's most sensation
el Olympic races was a losing one,
by a margin of inches. It was the
200 meter finals of 1324, when Jack
son Scholz, former University of
Missouri star, nipped the Califor
nian at the tape. The notion has
always been prevalent that Pad
dock beat himself by a gesture of
turning his head in the last few
strides and slacken his pace a
bit.
This is his story ot that epic fin
ish, however:
"It was light all the way down,
although I gained and held an
edge over Scholz going into the
last 50 yards. Ten yards frcm the
inush, however, I Wiiit dead. 1
liad nothing left but - momentum
and turned my head and body only
with the idea ot reaching fur the
tape, gaining an extra inch or two
that might mean the difference
between defeat and victory. But
Jack had the most stuff and won."
Charley Borah, southern Cali
fornia flash and intercollegiate
cliampion, is considered the "per
fect sprinter" by Paddock.
"He's almost too good to be true,
declared the veteran who hung up
his famous mark of 9 5-10 seconds
for the 100 yards in a sensational
finish with Borah over a year ago
"He does everything right, There's
nothing In his action to criticize.
And Lie has a great competitive
temperament.

Releasing an attack which was un
fa thomed by Harrisburg, a good
small town team, Salem high school
scored a 53 to 0 victory here Saturday
afternoon, scoring more in one game
than in all other starts of the sea
son. The bombardment of long runs
and passes started on the first play
after the kickoff when Temple raced
around left end for 48 yards. Three
line smashes made a first down on
the Harrisburg 20 yard line. Temple
added 13 more and Kelly went over

yard line buck through the line but
the Salem line charged through
breaking up any threats to then-
goal. Towards the end of the quar
ter. Glen Wilbur, substitute halfback
for Salem, playing in his first game
of the year, was carried from the
field, after an out of bounds play,
with a broken leg.

Jackson and Scott, the latter
shifting from tackle to fullback, were
individual stars for Harrisburg,

Idaho Places Strong Bid
For Pacific Coast Title
With Undefeated Record
While California writers throw a
flood of unfavorable publicity over
the University of Idaho's claims to
the title of the Pacific coast con
ference which they claim by two
victories and two tie games, the
15,000 fans who saw Idaho trim O.
A, C, outplaying the Aggies In every
department of the game except
breaks, believe confidently that the
Vandals have improved 100 per cent
since their stoic game with the Uni
versity or Oregon and would now be
able to threaten either Stanford or
U. S. C, with a real attack.
Idaho gained 253 yards In scrim
mage and pass plays to 133 netted by
the Orangemen, a feat accomplish-
med only by Stanford. By comparing
the game in Portland Saturday,
comparative strength with the Cali
fornia claimants seems to give Ida
ho at least an even break notwith-

standing their four game schedule
which was not the fault of Idaho
managers but of difficulty in secur
ing southern games tills year. St.
Mary's, a non-conference team,
which Idaho tied 3 to 3, was the only
California school on their schedule.
Stanford does not crow over Its
defeats by the two small Catholic
schools, St Mary's and Santa Clara,
in both ot which, first team strength
was used in vain.
U. S. C. has been held to a tie
score by Stanford and a 13 to 12
victory over the Aggies does not look
so good. Powerftl victories over Cal
ifornia and Washington State show
their strength, however.
Idaho will carry Its claim to the
Tournament of Roses officials for a
chance in the lntersectional contest
at Pasadena New Year's day against
reports that Stanford has already
been tendered the Invitation.

BY THOUSANDS
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 21. VP The
city auditorium which for years has
housed Atlanta s biggest crowds, to
day was host to "Tiger" Flowers'
mourners. The negro mlddleweights
bier was set under the same high
rafters that have echoed to Caruso's
voice, to Paderewski's notes, to
speeches before countless gatherings
and to the cheering shouts of fight

CARTER-FOLEY TO
FIGHT FOR TITLE
Seattle. Nov. 21 When Wildcat
Carter and Vic Foley meet In the
ring in this city Tueseday night
their contest will decide the north
west featherweight championship.
They are considered the two best
featherweights In this section.
It will mark the third meeting be
tween the boxers. Each has a vic
tory to his credit over the other and
Tuesday night's bout will decide the
issue. Last winter Foley won a
close decisfon over Carter In a whirl
wind battle and on September 27,
Carter reversed matters by taking
the verdict over Foley In a contest
that was highly sensational.

ILLINOIS WINS
AT FINISH OF
BIG 10 CHASE
Chicago, Nov. 21 The University
of Illinois football team hailed as
the "Starless wonder" has Justified
Coach Bob Zuppke's contention that
he bad a whole solar system instead
of a flaming meteor or two.
The Illlnl has come into the glory
that Is rightly theirs by establish
ing a solid claim to the big ten con
ference championship winning five
games and losing none. Zuppke's
team was tied by one eleven Ames
but the Iowa State team Is not a
member of the conference.
Zuppke explained his lack of play
ers who stand above the rest by say
ing that the whole team Is good.
"It's easy for a good man to stand
out against a background of dubs,
but not so easy against a bunch of
good men," he said.
Minnesota, a powerful team, like
wise closed its season without a de
feat. But one blot a tie with Indi
ana spoiled the Gopher claim for the
title.
Michigan, with one of the hardest
schedules of any big eleven came
through the season with a satisfact
ory record. The only teams which
beat the Wolverines were the two
conference leaders.
The University of Chicago broke
even with three victories and three
defeats.
Purdue also broke even with two
defeats and two victories.
Northwestern, a star football elev
en, played good football when "Tiny"
Lewis and Waldo Fisher were able to
compete, but they were crippled most
of the season.
The Ohio State team, also highly
regarded last September, had the
same record as Northwestern three
defeats and three victories.
Indiana had perhaps the best
Hoosfer team In a decade and came
through the season with two defeats,
a victory and the tie with Minne
sota. Wisconsin In its first season under
Coach Glenn Thistlcthwaite. was a
big disappointment to Badger boost
ers. A victory over Purdue was the
lone Badger boast.
Iowa won Its only game of the
season from Wisconsin.
Glasglow Is to soon have Its first
ice rink In 10 years.

One of the greatest Army elevens,
