(AP) Far-western pigskin preview and re view: Forty-five years sgo two college football teams, their players finger ing mustaches and strutting In Isced Jackets, lined up on a Ban Francisco gridiron for a game. It opened tne athletic rivalry between University of California and Stanford.. They called it "the big game" lor no other reason than that It was the most Important clash of otherwise skimpy playing season, Pigskin classics, many heavily steeped In tradition, have sprung up In the far west since that memor able day In 1893. To Callfornlans and (Stanford, however, the yearly strug gle always wltl remain as "the Dig game." Zt has long since moved to the csmpuses of the two trunitu tione. Rent Title Rare.

This season It will be the big game In fact as well aa fancy. 1'ho quirks of a schedule filled with up sets brings the two teama down the home stretoh In a real championship run. It will either decide the coast con ference title or knot It Into a per fect deadlock. From the engagement will emerge the western Rose Bowl nominee for the New Year's day bat tl at Pasadena. The 1937 encounter la for big stakes, a slice of Import ant money and a chance to further national prestige against the best available non-far western opponent January 1.

Ht an ford In and Out Stanford, ragged In earlier play, unpredictable performer from week to week and beaten In and out of the conference, checks In with four league victories, one loss and one tie. Lucky to get a scoreless tie wltn Washington the week before Cali fornia found Its punch again last Saturday to whip Oregon, 36 to 0. Stanford, meanwhile, clung to the contender's role by crushing Wash ington State, 33 to 0. four points less than California chalked up against the same team six weeks ago. Facts and figures point to a Call form victory over Its oldest col legiate rival. The Dears, on their record, rightfully rank as favorites. Stanford could provide the greatest upset of the year by winning.

Montleth slashed through to drop him for a one-yard loss. Twice more Steve took the pigskin and tried iharp passes, the last of which Bed Boot batted down In the and zone, and Medrord took the hall on downs on their own SO. That was the turning point. From then on. the Tigers were the hall club tney had potentially but not ac tually been all year. Admirers Mob Montague In Wild Golf Exhibition By G.4YLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Nov. 18.
