Neither beaten nor tied In con ference play, Southern California's Trojans and California's Bears will some together In a mid-season clasb at Berkeley, expected to cram memo rial stadium to Its capacity of more than 78,000 fans. While these bit ter gridiron foes are fighting for , the right to continue on the trail to the title, Stanford's Indiana, also undefeated, win match strength wltb Washington's Huskies, at Seattle. Trojans Favored. On ths basts of comparative scores Southern California will be strong ZaTorltea over California, while ob servers generally concede Stanford better than an even chance against Washington. On successive week ends. Southern California took the i measure of Oregon State, 80-0; Washington State, 88-8, and Oregon, 63-0. California -opened its confer ence schedule last Saturday wltb 1S-T win over Washington State. Xa Its first bid for championship standing last week-end, Stanford bumbled Oregon State, Sfi-7. Two years ago an underrated Bear eleven tumbled the Trojan team tinder a 18-7 count.

"Bill" Ingram's Bears nave been successful to date, with I one exception they ' lost to St, Mary's Gaels, 14-0. But in this re spect, California followers have not much cause for complaint as the same St. Mary's team defeated South ern California, 13-7 The Gaels are not members of the conference. While the Trojan-Bear encounter will claim chief Interest In the far west, the Stanford-Washington en gagement will come In for atten tion because of the new-found strength the Huskies displayed In defeating Idaho, 88-7, last week-end.

Wlllaman (Head Football Cooob, Ohio State university) COLUMBUS, O. (AP) The football system at Ohio State this year will be much the same as was employed during the 1930 season, I plan to use two flanking backs, generally referred to as the winged back sys tern. However, the formation this year win be more open than the one used last year at Ohio. The two flanking backs tend to spread the defense, giving the front defenslvs line more territory to cover and at the same time It keeps ths backs in such relationship so that all points can be reached In the shortest length of time. This typs of offense requires care ful handling of the ball and more precision In timing. In faot, we will spend a grantor part of our time In timing plays In an effort to get every move off with clock-like precision. It Is possible from this formation, dus to ths use of deception and pivots, to make ths maximum use of your Interfering linesmen by swinging them In front of the play and at the same time four eligible receivers may be out loose Instantly down ttie field. By using the double winged back system one can build an entire se quence of plays, repeatedly drawing the opponents out of position until the situation presents Itself for the key play. Several times last year we worked up to the point where we had our opponents looking for pivot plays and then a back would cut In thru the line with the net result of a long gain. In our 97 to 0 victory over Navy last year a good example of this system might bs given. Navy was using a 8-3-3 defense, the secondary Una being used to check deception and guard against Feeler's passing. After two or three plays we spresd Wis six man front line wide open and then a pivot play was called. This year's captain. Stew Holoomb, out back through tackle for a 30 yard run, during which be was untouched, for our first touchdown. BAY CITY SPORTSMEN With a large steelhead under each arm, and a smile expressive of hav ing conquered the out-of-doors, J. O. Tobln. San Francisco financier, accompanied by Nlon R. Tucker, who carried a bundle of pheasant feathers, boarded the Shasta Satur day night for the south, having spent the past week In southern Oregon hunting and fishing. The two sportsmen were quite successful on their annual hunt. and with Captain O. N. Black, also of the southern city, they enjoyed a number of trips, getting the limit of pheasants. We missed our friend, Senator John Clark Burgard, who was unable to accompany us this year," Mr. Tobln stated. The California sena tor was unable to msks the trip with his friends this year, due to business in San Francisco. When informed that Frank O Noyes, another member of the river colony. hd reported fishing excep tionally poor.

President Hoover, while undecided hoped to eome from Washington Wednesday to stand at Mr. Edison's bier both as a personal friend and as head of a sorrowing nation. Meanwhile Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, the Inventor's two "old cronies" hastened to West Orange. Wife at Bedside Mr. Edison slipped quietly from a deep coma Into a lasting sleep Sun day morning. . Holding his band was Mrs. Edison, for 48 years his constant companion. At the bedside were his six children. After his death, Dr. Hubert S. Howe, disclosed that Mr. Edison, on lesrnlng recovery wss Improbable, did not desire to live. His life's work done, he did not wish to place an Invalid's burden on his family, he said. Arrangements were msde for ths library to remain open from 9 a. m. to 8 p, m. today and Tuesday, the bier to be surrounded day and night by a guard of honor, composed of four of Mr. Edison's employes, Ths personnel was to be changed every fifteen minutes. .

Mr. Edison's death ended an eleven weeks' Illness, which began with a sudden collapse Aug. 1. Saturday afternoon his children, grandchildren and servants filed through his room. Silently each looked for a moment at the figure sleeping peacefully on a white bed, at the head of which was Mrs. Edison. Throughout the evening and Into the morning's early hours Dr. Howe and the family maintained their vigil. Police guarded the estate. Newspapermen waited In the garage, i transformed Into press headquarters. News Given World I The news pf the Inventor's passing I waa carried to the reporters by Ar- ' thur l. Walsh, vlos president of , Thomas A. Edison Industries, Inc. "Mr. Edison Is dead," he said elm ply. He appeared pale and visibly shaken. Then he read Dr. Howe's formal bulletin: "Thomas Rlva Edison quietly passed away at 34 minutes after S a. m Oct. 18, 1931." Telegraph Instruments ell eked. Telephones bussed. In an Instant the message was circling the world. Mr. Edison's own Invention played a part In Its transmission. Questions about Mr. Edison's relig ious beliefs brought an answer by the family shortly after his death. "He never was an atheist," said a statement by Mr. Walsh. "Though he subscribed to no orthdox creed, no on who knew htm could have doubted his belief In a reverence for a supreme Intelligence, and his whole life. In which the Ideal of honest loving service to his fellow man waa predominant, Indicated how faith fully he followed those two com mandments wherein lie 'all the law and the prophets." "It Does Not Matter Appended was a biblical reference ' to Vie two commandments: "Thou shalt love the Lord they God with , all they heart, and with all they soul, and with, all thy mind. Thou shalt ! love thy neighbor as thyself." In this connection Dr. Howe de- i scribed for the Associated Press two Incidents about Mr. Edison's views. "If there is life hereafter, or If . there Is none," he quoted Mr. Edison as saying, "It does not matter." ! When asked If he believed In Im mortality,- Dr. Howe continued, "he answered briefly, 'No one knows.' At another time during his Illness. the physician recounted, Mr. Edison "gated upward Into space, his face . illuminated with a smile. He said. It la very beautiful over there.' " ' After his cotlepee In August, Mr. ; dtsons remarknble stamina enabled -bun to rally. His old alertness, bow- I With Rod and Gun Pheasant hunting waa only fair yesterday, but quail hunting was good, according to reports of local sportsmen. ''Mac' McCarder bagged a few pheasants and Dutch Welch shot at many but hit none, his fellow hunters announce. Many deer hunters went to the hills yesterday and some of them return ed with meat, among the latter are Otto Heckert and his brother. One bagged a four-point and the the other a three-point buck. They hunt ed In the Evans Creek region. Reports from Oold Beach brings news that anglers are again catching too many flsh( no such troubles arise in this vicinity). Sportsmen ask that a closer check be made 'by the game commission as catches of 11 and 12 salmon a day are claimed. The limit Is three a week. This law should be easily enforced as all fishing is done from boats and the catches could be checked by a warden as the boats ar rive at the landing. 4 PORTLAND OFFICER PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 19, (AP) Patrolman Harold R. Luddlngton shot last night when he and Sergeant Foote engaged three men In a gun battle In a trucking company's build ing, was reported out of danger this I morning. I H. Z. Lockwood. service manager of the trucking company, while driv ing by the building noticed a light In the office. He summoned police and they surprised the three men In the act of breaking open a safe. The man opened fire aqd shots were ex changed for several minutes. The men escaped. - ever, was dimmed; in lact. associates traced his Illness back to an attack of pneumonia more than two years ago. Complication of Ills Diabetes, gastric ulcers, Brlght's disease and uremic poisoning com bined to wear down the Inventor's resistance. For the last six days he had been unable to take any nourishment. Mrs. Edison remained In atten dance; she felt her husband's depen dence on her. She was tbe last per son he recognized, smiling wanly a week before his death when she shouted Into his ear, "Dear, how are you?" "As Mr. Edison passed away," Dr. I Howe said, "Mrs, Edison was holding his hand and patting his forehead. "She averaged -between two and three hours sleep dally for the last fourteen days and stood up remark ably well under the strain and shock of death. She Is not Hi now." Many Sympathize Messages of sympathy and of trib ute. to Mr. Edition's memory were re ceived at the rambling red house from all parts of the world- from I President Hoover, from Pope Pius XI, and from other rulers, diplomats, and business associates. At Cambridge, Mass., two college boys lauded his generosity. They were Wllber B. Huston of Seattle, Wash., and Arthur O. Williams of East Providence, R. I., to whom Mr. Edison gave scholarships at the Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy as winners of nationwide "bright boy" contests.

They had been gone since Friday. The Medford boys, however, deny they ran down the bucks with the Austin, and the bullet holes In the aw.aaa ha1r t.hlm HD. but BOmBsl of their Jealous friends make the mean comment that the DUiieie were fired Into the bucks after the latter had been run down by the English doo-funnjf car. The boys declare that an Austin car Is the real tning ror a nuntmg trip, from the standpoint of com fort, economy, speed and getting deer. Bob says that they went from here to Klamath Falls last Friday on only a gallon of gas, and thinks that they came home with their In creased load last night on the same amount. Fry weighs about 195 pounds and Newland tips the scales at 160. Allowing 325 pounds for the weight of the two dead bucks and guns, that weigh, together with the heft of the boys made a carry ing load of 670 pounds for the car. which itself weighs 1100 pounds.
