V PACRTKN THR CAPITAL .TOUHMAI.. SAI.KM. ORKflON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1929 DESIRE FOR NATIONAL ACCLAIM RULES GRID WORK i I OREGON TEAMS TO MAKE MARK WRITER STATES By George CrUwy San Francisco (LP) PoinUng to ward national fame rather than sec tional honors, half a thousand young men in the Pacific coast con ference practiced football this week and viewed the coming season with courage and hope. A diligent search is in full swing for "it" material which will aid in the building of an "It" team a team which may win acclaim any where. Ambitions to be accepted as the national champion" have been enter tained for several years by Stan ford, California and the University of Southern California. The desire Is stronger than ever this season. B&?lc in the years of the Califor nia "wonder team" far western fans maintained the great golden bear squad was the best on earth. The far east did not agree and explain cd that the climate defeated eastern teams which traveled west for post season games. Last vear Oregon Aggies, down in the second division of coast stand lngs, went across the continent and trounced the University of New York. Later Stanford traveled east and virtually tmothered the great west Point team. Those two outstanding victories for Pacific coast teams which invad ed the eastern field brought football of the far west before the eyes of every one and in a seriuos way. Now on the eve of the 1929 sea son, the west hopes a far western team thoroughly demonstrates Its right to a national title. A peculiar fact this year is that the desire for national acclaim overshadows ev erything else. Indications are that intersection al games and there are eight scheduled will attract more attention than will games between traditional rivals. As a rule the (wo or three teams with a. chance of winning the con ference title can be picked Without enort. This year there are five and possibly eix teams which will be very much in tho running. Only four of the 10 schools in the conference may be counted out as champions. University of California ni uw nngrjep, ruomana, jaano and Washington State lack the reserve strength essrntial to a long cam paign. U. S. C, California, Stanford, Washington, Oregon and perhaps the Oregon Aggies should develop great football machines. The Trojans of U. 8. C. cham pions last year, will present one of me neaviest teams In thn rnuntrv Washington and Oregon inherited a numoer or veterans and should round into shape quicker than usual. Just what Stanford and O. A. C. have to offer will be shown Satur. day. Stanford meets the West Coast army team, while Oregon Aggies play Willamette, a northwest ran- ference member.

Grove, Bu.sh, Carlson and others may have incited in the breasts of Connie Mack and Joe McCarthy through the last few weeks, these forthcoming no flaws in the work of Rube Wol-f berg and Fat Malone Thursday. With a team of rookies at his back, Walberg whipped his fast one through the bright autumn air at Shi be Park with such effectiveness that the hard-swinging Bengal from Detroit were able to get only four safe blows. It was hardly a day for a speed baft master, but the game would not have been close If Walbert had not given nine iree parses. He won by 5 to 4. Since the Cubs no longer need to win. they broke a losing streak behind the six-hit pitching ox rat Malone, who defeated the Giants by & to 0. Boston continued its fast work in Pittsburgh, defeating the Pirates by 6 to 3 in the third game of the series. Harry Selbold, the venerable recruit, got credit for the victory. Ray Kolp splashed the Phillies with a 5 to 0 coat of whitewash at Cincinnati, giving the Reds two straight and a tie for sixth place. Brooklyn and the Cards were idle. Along the American leauge front the most interesting secondary de velopment was Washington's furth er success In entrenching Its forces in fifth place, he Senators took a thriller from the Browns by 2 to 1 as Detroit lost to the Macks. Fewer than 500 fans turned out to see the White Sox blank the Yan kees by 7 to 0. Milton Oaston pitched the Red Sox to a 3 to 2 victory over Cleve land at the Fenway in a close battle with Wtllus Hudlin. JESSE WILL ASSIST PACIFIC GRID TEAM Forest Grove, Ore.

DOCKS DEFEAT SOLONS; SEALS TAKETHE LEAD By the Associated Press Trouble came in bunches to the Hollywood Stars, who for more than a fortnight have led the Pacific coast league parade, and Friday they found themselves marching be hind the San Francisco Seals, a double set-back leaving the south ern club halt a game from the top. The first blow to the hopes of the Stars came in the form of a defeat handed them by the Los Angeles Angels, who won 4 to 1 through the zippy mound manipulations of S. Baecht, thus giving the Angels two straight over their movleland rivals. Making it three straight over the Mission Reds or the bay citv, the San Francisco Seal put the finish ing touches on Hollywood's hard luck by displacing the southern chib at the top of the league. The score was 10 to 5. Rudolph Kallio sped his ' curve ball across the platter as In the days of yore, and took his Indian clubrnates to a 6 to 1 walk-away over the Oakland Acorns In the the camp of the Redskins. Four double plays featured the battle, three by the Indians and one by the Oaks. Portland defeated the Sacramento Senators 4 to 1 on the northern lot, I taking a one game edge on the ser- les. Vinci for the Senators and Ma. haffey for the Ducks pitched good ball, but a homer by D. Harris of Portland helped the home boys. FEW GOOD GAMES . FOR OPENING DAY New York (LP) The 18:19 football season starts Saturday, Interest In tne east centers largely around the impending clash at Morgantown, W. Va., between the West Virginia university Mountaineers and the Bobcats of West Virginia Wesleyan. That game is the lone major con test Of the day In the eastern sector.

An after-dinner speaker referred to the "Great Northwest, where men are men and golUvs concede no putts." Nevertheless the practice of too much generosity on the greens has been consistently frowned upon by tha United States Golf Association. The main idea is to get the ball in the cup. Puits of less than a foot have been missed any number of times, simple though they may look. It may look sportsmanlike to knock away an opponent's ball close to the hole but it's also part of the games to get 'em down. . New ideas have lots of room to grow along the Pacific Slope. At Port land's ball park they cling to such ancient customs as showering the homo teams home-run hitter with silver money and ringing a gong to toll off the number of runs after a home club rally.
