(VP) Columbia's football team left Arizona today and beaded determinedly to ward Paaadena where New Year's day It matches Its speed and brains against Stanford brains and brawn in the annual Rose Bowl classic, "We're ready" Coach Lou Little said, "and we'll give Tiny Thornhlll's tesm the battle of its life." This sharp change from the usual little pessimism was a true reflection of the spirit of the squad as It dash ed through a last short workout and then took Itself away from the old pueblo where a week of serious work had put It Into perfect condition to the last man. "I'll bet Stanford hasn't seen a smarter ball club than this" said Coach Biff Jones of Louisiana State, after a brief stop here, en route to Pasadena. PASADENA. Calif.. Dec. 6. m Stanford's football players playod their last practice of the 1933 season under their belts today and were ready for Monday and Columbia. The final drill was brief and light but It marked the first appearance of every player In uniform since Coach Tiny Thornhlll brought the boys from Palo Alto Into Pasadena. The sick and Injured who have missed most of the practice periods all were In uniform although they did compara tively little. Bobby Orajson, Wei Muller and Claude Callaway, cold victims, and Monk Moscrlp and Lyle Smith, casual ties In action, were ready to start If necessary and some of tnem can go the whole game. It Is not likely that Muller or Moscrlp will enlist for the duration of the football war New Year's day but they will engage In a part of the fighting. Coach Thornhlll, tutor of Stanford, ateadfactly refused to claim victory In advance of the bout, but did ex press confidence In the ability of "my boys" to reflect credit on western football. Sale of tlcketa was reported "slow but sure" and approximately 3S.000 had been delivered to fans who plan to be In on the death of football for this season. The advance sale Indi cated a crowd of approximately BO.,000 but more than half as many more osn be accommodated If there Is a last minute rush. The Rose Bowl ca pacity Is in excess of 85.000.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. (AP) Measures designed to speed up the game, make for higher scoring and protect the playera will be advocated tomorrow by President Wllllsm H. Spauldlng, when the Pacific Coaat and Rocky Mountain Coachea' asso elation holds Its annual meeting at the Blltmore hotel. The body,1 composed of coaches from 48 Institutions in the far weat. will devote Its confab to a review of football trends, development and highlights during the past season snd to discussion of many changes In the rules which have been proposed by mentors throughout the country. While the head men will have no power to put any of their sugges tions into the 1034 rule book, the national rules committee, which meets In New York In February will natu rally be guided by sentiment ex pressed by the coaches. Spauldlng proposea to go right out In meeting In aupport of new pass ing regulations one of which would allow the offense to pass Incomplete Into the end tone without loss or the ball, except on fourth down, and the other which would permit a for ward pass at any point behind the line of scrlmmsge. Both measures, he believes, would tend to "loosen" the defonse and make for greater action, yardage and touchdowns. He would also have the ball put In play 18 yards from the sidelines, in stead of ten as at present to allow the defensive team greater latitude In running playa and would move the crosabara back to the goal line to encourage roturn of field goal kicking. But he is opposed to any alteration of the fumble rule, which would allow the defense to advance the ball on recovery, on the grounds that the offense suffers great enough penalty by loss of the ball.

The fifteen or so plays that will be run off In the Warner style of gridiron strategy, were given a final check-up while blocking tactics and defensive work came in for consid erable attention. That Charley Soleau of Colgate will be the starting quarterback was ; taken as a foregone conclusion be cause of his long training In the type of game that will be played. Coaches Kerr and Hanley planned to name their starting team tomor row. The western boys, under Coaches Orln Holllngbery of Washington State and Percy Locey of Denver, let down on their practice as planned. Dum my scrimmage, ironing out of de fensive play and work with individ ual players to correct blocking faults, composed the workout. The West will try for Its sixtfi vic tory In nine games with a series of twenty plays, run off from the- sin gle wing back and punt formations. Coach Locey said he and Holllngbery were pleased with the team play de veloped In slightly more than a week's practice. The rival coaches declined to pre dict the game's outcome but all agreed it was a "toss-up." Rain attended both the East's workout at Stanford university and the West's practice at the University of California. Ticket sales continued at a good pace and officials made plans to ac commodate a crowd of 60,000 fans. Poison Letter Havoc. PARIS, Dec. 30.
