    Pacific Coast Conference
Shows Intersection Power
New York, Nov. 2 iJ,The
lurmally robust soutl. has turn-
ed anemic In football this year
and mor. of the red corpuscles
teem to have escaped to the Pa
eific coast.
A check of the major confer
ences against outside opposition
shows the southwest a stout
leader and the southern the
weakest In the land.
The southeastern, a veritable
bowl incubator down through
the years, is better than holding
its own but is not showing the
old-time punch. Its bowl candi
dates are negligible.
On the other hand, the Pa
cific coast, an intersectional
punching bag since the war,
is bouncing back against some
chins. As an example, it has
won two and tied one of six
games in the formidable Big
Ten, with which it has a Rose
Bowl working agreement.
The wide open southwestern

Stymie Retires
To Blue Grass
Loafing at Ease
New York, Nov. 2 (U.R)Gal-
lant old Stymie, who rose from
the claiming ranks to become
the world's greatest money-win
ning throughbred, was retired
today to a bluegrass life of ease.
And thus was written the cli
max of a lusty saga of the turf.
Bred on the sprawling King
ranch in Texas, Stymie was just
an obscure selling plater when
he was purchased by Hirsch Jac
obs in 1943 for $1,500. He was
two years old then.
Now eight years old and
till under the guidance of Jac
obs Stymie leaves the racing
scene with an amazing, almost
unbelievable, bankroll of $918,
485. A sore right foreleg forced
Stymie's retirement.

Williams Tells
Of Iowa Reunion
With Men of '99

Williams, Salem attorney upon
his recent return from the mid
dle west where he, with four
other survivors of the Univer
sity of Iowa football team of
1899 were honor guests for the
University of Iowa-Indiana uni
versity football game in mid-Oc
tober.
The five men were extensive
ly entertained before and after
the homecoming contest, so
much so in fact, Williams admits
that he was tuckered out long
before he headed home.
Williams describes the Iowa
team as an "explosive outfit"
that apparently worries little
concerning the opposition as
long as the fourth period re
mains to be played. He was urg
ed to remain for the Iowa-Ore
gon tilt but begged off because
of the necessity of returning to
his office.

of which he was one of the 16
members of the travelling con
tingent, the records show that
Iowa amassed 257 points to
three for the opposition. While
Williams was designated as an
end and held that position much
of the time, it was not unusual
to shift to a tackle or a guard.
Because of the small squad we
had to learn about every posi
tion," Williams said.

Krause said Notre Dame is

"If Fordham is interested in
playing us regularly," he added,
"I'd be glad to present the pro
