TROJANS SEEN
AS BEST TEAM
Seven to Nothing Defeat At
Hands of U. S. C. No
Disgrace for Stanford Is
View Warner Men
Lacked Punch Saturday.
CURRENT YEAR
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.
(Special.) There Is no question
wbout the best team on the coast1
this year. Southern California not
only has the best team on the Pa-,
cific coast, but probably in the
country. At any rate we feel sure
there isn't a team that could have
beaten U. S. C. as she played Sat-
uraay Notre Dame, Penn State, i
or what have you. No team, in all'
. probability, could have come as
close to holding her as Stanford
did. A 7-0 defeat at the hands of
the Trojan machine, as it is now
clicking, is a disgrace to no team.
In fact. It would be a "moral vic
tory1' for most.
It was a "moral" victory for
Stanford, for actually U. S. C. Is
two or three touchdowns better
than the Cardinals this year.
Last year Stanford lost to the
i Trojans. 10-0; this year only 7-0.
Stanford's 1929 team can have the
' satisfaction of having done better
than the '28 team. In fact, as far
as comparative scores are concern
ed, one might claim the Cardinals
are .stronger this year than last.
But not to anyone who saw Satur
day's game. It only shows once
more that comparative scores mean
nothing. Last year U. S. C. wan
lucky to win by the score it did.
This year Stanford was lucky not
to have been beaten 20-0. Last
year 17. S. C. got the breaks; this
year Stanford got the breaks all
of them. Time mid again Stanford
had a good break, which gave them
a chance to score but every time
she lacked the punch.
Lucks Punch.
In fact, Saturday Stanford was
a good team, a hard fighting team,
potentially a dangerous team, but
from the first whistle to the last,
essentially a punch) -Irs tcuni.
It must have been a new and sad
experience for Pop Warner. For
heretofore the Stanford teams have
always had the punch the ability
to come up to the scratch, and
when the break occurred, take full
advantage of It. Not so on Satur
day. Opportunity knocked a score
of times, but not once could the
L whijefrffhirted Cards open the dopty,
, - Stanford Had Chances.
Everyone anticipated Saturday's
contest would be the big game of
the year. It was, as far aH the
size of the crowd and excitement
C 1929, I.ioctrr & Mvim Tobacco
wero concerned. Stanford always j
had a chance until the last five!
minutes to tie the score. And with i
her well-earned reputation of
strong finishes the Stanford tra
dition of pulling the game out of;
the fire in the last few minutes j
at no time was there any confi-J
dence in the stands that the game1
had been won by the Trojans. But
Saturday's gamo was a complete
reversal of that tradition. In the
first quarter, instead of the last,
did Stanford hit her stride. There
she was inside the five-yard line
with three downs to go a score
seemed absolutely certainbut she
might as well have tried to break
a steel safe with a butter-ball as
break that Trojan line. Just as
Stanford never had the punch, S.
C. never lacked It. Whether on
offense or defense, when some
thing had to be done, U. S. C. was
there to do it. In fact, though the
present writer happens to be an
ardent Stanford supporter (still
hoarse from vocal efforts In her
behalf) the plain truth is the Tro
jans outclassed the White-shirtjj in
every department of the game in
power and concentration of at
tacks, tackling, forward passing,
kicking in everything that goes to
make up winning football except
the aforementioned breaks.
Plays Failed.
"Nothing would work," explain
ed a discouraged Stanford gradu
ate, in his Sunday morning post
mortem. "Think of completing
only three forward passes out of
25. Never heard of such a think.
Slmpkins simply blew up. What
was the matter with him!"
There was nothing the matter
with him, except the U, S. C. team.
Whenever there was a pass, every
Stanford receiver had a Trojan at
his elbow. That Is the answer.
This man Jones had Pop Warner's
passing game checked before it
started. A tighter defense, both
in checking an open game and
outcharging the line on straight
football could scarcely 'he lmag
Jner. Wonder Team.
If the "big game' is a lair ex
ample, U. S. C. has this year a real
"wonder team." And if this man
Du-f field is not an ail-American
back, we never saw one. Not only
is ha one of the finest open-field
runners we have ever seen, but he
Is strong on the defense and un
equalled on the coast, as a kicker.
The accuracy of his punts, clipping
over the sidelines, without a chance
of a return, were nothing short
of marvelous. And -that return of
a punt In the last quarter, squirm
ing, twisting and sidestepping
through the entire Stanford team
for a touchdown (which wasn't al
lowed because of "roughing" the
kicker) would have made Red
Cagle envious.
Defeat Viiltkely.
Of course teams, like Individ
uals, have their on and off days.
It is conceivable that U. S. C. will
be beaten, hut to our mind, un
likely. And it Is quite conceivable
that Stanford will defeat both Call
fornla and West Point, but this
doesn't look as certain as It did
before Saturday's contest. In fact,
with California's second . string
downing Morton Kaer and the
Olympics In the final quarter, it
looks as though the big "big game"
would bo a real battle this year,
after all. ft. W. It.

Ace Renews Drive for Mickey's Title;

battle 18 months ago.
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 28. P)-
With the rigorous training grind
left behind, Mickey Walker, the
champion, nnd Aea Iludkins, the
contender, today marked time as
they waited impatiently the sound
of the gong which tomorrow night
will send them into the ten-round
battle for the middleweight title
of the world.
The fight, to all intents and pur
poses, probably will mark the de
cline of the vanquished and the
rise of the victor.

LOS ANGELAS (A1) The long
road as a title contender from the
lightweight division to the middle
weight class, which Ace Hudins
has., left strewn with the blasted
hopes, of wonld-ho champions, has
carried the Wildcat from the .Nebraska-
plains to his second fight
for Mickey Walker's crown.

! Walker could deliver In defense
of his honors, and lost a decision.
At Wriglcy field, on the night of
October 2!). he hopes to attain
his objective.
Since the night in New York
when he knocked out Ruby Gold
stein, lightweight, nnd virtually
thrust the pride of the East Side
into oblivion, Iludkins has been
camping on the trail of champions.
Until the Walker bout he was
forced to be content with warding
off ndvanccs of other contenders.
Following the defeat nt Chicago
the Nebraskan has been a busy
scrapper. His technical knockout
victory over the stout-heitrted Kcn
tuckian, Jog Anderson, resulted in
the immediate signing- of papers
for a return match with Walker.'

Football's main hattlifront shifts
to the south next Saturday whoro
Southern California's Trojans nnd
California Hears, remaining un
defeated elevens of the Pacific
Coast conference, will fight It out
for gridiron supremacy.
Conquerors of Stanford, 7-0, last
week and winner of four confer
ence games, Southern California
can practically clinch the cham
pionship with a victory over Cali
fornia's Hears. The true atrength
of tho Hears, however, has not yet
been revealed. Th their one con
ference teat, they trounced Wash
ington State, 14-0, and Inst week
showed' to advantage with a 21-10 ,
triumph over the powerful Olympic
club squudV. n
, Com para 1 1 ve stores favor the
Southern California-1 team, one of
the most powerful ever to carry the
Trojan banner, but California sup
porters are reminded that football
games are won on, 'not. off, the
field. Those who hsvo followed .
the fortunes of both teams, how
ever, feel that tho Trojans will
make short work of the Hears nnd
continue on for easy wins over Ida
ho and Washington Slate, remain
ing .opponents on tho conference
cnlendar.
CaiMichy Crowd.
The clash will be witnessed by
a capacity throng of around 75,- '
000 persons. Every seat of tho
Los Angeius Coliseum wns sold out
several days ago, despito the fact
that Southern California had not
yet matched strength with Stan
ford's Cardinals.
Two other conference contests
next week end will pit Oregon
against University of California ot
Los Angeles, and Oregon Stnto
agnlnst Washington State at Port
