PAGE TWO SHORTS RATED TOP GRID To Play Each Other In No vember 1.3 Elevens Stay Unbeaten and Untied. Br Card LundquUt United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 18. (U.B Flayers on 13 clean slate foot ball teams approached the mid way mark of the college season uneasily today, mindful that the opposition gets tougher from now on and that the 1B43 famine on upsets definitely is due to end. Notre Dame and Army stood out as the two top teams In the nation, making their Novembei -meeting in New York a perfect setting for a national champion ship providing neither loses be fore then something which ap pears extremely unlikely. Ranking next in the group of unbeaten leaders were Pennsyl vania, Navy, College of Pacific, Purdue, Southwestern, and Iowa Pre-Flight. The other perfect record teams, Minnesota, Sout hern California, Texas A. & M., Colo rado and Colorado College had slates Just as clean but hadn't played teams generally consid ered as strong as some of the others. Pacific Favored One unbeaten team is sure to fall and four or five others will have their records in jeopardy this week-end, College of Pacific and Southern California meet in one of the top games of the year t Los Angeles. College of Pa cific will go on the field a slight favorite. In five previous assign ments they have been the under dogs, but their performance Sat urday in beating Del Monte - Pre-Fllght's former All-America stars 16 to 7, capped anything they had done previously. Navy, unless it plays more 'steadily than in beating Penn Stat 14 to 6, may have trouble -with Georgia Tech's welldrilled team at Baltimore Saturday night. Minnesota, which has . held the "little brown jug" since 1933 probably will surrender it to Michigan along with its per fect record in the top mid-west ern game at Ann Arbor Satur day. . Texaa A. & M., which elimin ated Texas Christian, the onlj other perfect record team to lose last week, meets Nortn Texas Agriculture at College station. All of the other unbeaten big- wlss have opposition that looks less troublesome. Notre Dame nlays Illinois at South Bend. Ind., Purdue meets Iowa at La fayette, Ind., Army opposes Yale at New Haven, Conn. Pennsylvania takes on Columbia at New York, and Southwestern plays Southwestern Louisiana Institute at Houston, Tex. The Rocky mountain leaders, Colo rado College and Colorado ana Iowa Pre-Flight in the middle west have open dates which may be filled later in the week.

Trojans Only Remaining for By Ed Emery Unlted Press Staff Correspondent San Francisco, Oct. 18. (U.PJ You can rub vour eves and look again, but that's right. Little College of the Pacific is head ed for the Los Angeles coliseum Saturday to meet the brawnv Trojans of University of Southern California in a titanic strug gle which will be the closest the Pacific coast can oome this year to a collegiate championship game. iney weren i supposed to ao it, but Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's Tigers dumped undefeat ed Del Monte Pre-Fllght's All Americans 16-7 on the Pacific home field at Stockton, Col., Saturday, to add the navyators to their previous victims Cali fornia and UCLA of the Pacific Coast conference, and St. Mary's Pre-Flight and Alameda coast guard of the stronger service teams. Now only undefeated and un- scored-on Southern California seems to stand in the way of a championship season for the giant-killing Tigers and their 81-year-old coach, who would add another page of glory to his record of 54 years on the grid iron; already graced with mo ments of past grandeur at Chi cago. If the Staggmen clear this week's hurdle and defeat the conference southern division leaders, they will have only the St. Mary's Gaels and University of San Francisco left in their path toward an unbeaten season. Pacific plays St. Mary's Nov. 6 and USF Nov. 20, with byes intervening. And if the Trojan-Pacific clash weren't enough, the only other unbeaten teams on the coast, University of Washington and the Fourth Air Force Flyers from March Field, Cal., meet Saturday at Seattle, in the only big-time game the Huskies could schedule this year in the football-starved northwest. Should the Trojans and March Field come through the week end victorious, their meeting Nov. 13 in Los Angeles could be come the Pacific coast's final championship playoff. GAELS BY 21-7 San Francisco, Oct. 18. (U.PJ Capitalizing on two Intercept ed passes, the Alameda Coast Guard football team defeated St. Mary's 21 to 7 before 10,000 fans here yesterday. .

' QUIT GAM MEDFORD MAIL Big Hurdle Stagg Team IN PRO CLASHES - By United Press The bombsight accuracy of their forward passers boosted the Chicago Bears, the Washing ton Redskins and the Detroi't Li ons along today In the National Professional league football race. Placing new emphasis on the pass as a scoring weapon, they won their week end assignments because of the ability of buggy whip tossers. Only the New York Giants, the other victors, depend ed upon ground plays for the bulk of their scoring. Two of the losers also capital ized on aerials for their scoring in a day In which 11 of the 20 touchdowns were made on passes. Three others were set up with long aerials. The Chicago Bears behind the efficient Sid Luckman, rolled up the biggest score in defeating the Phlladelohla-Pittsburgn com bine 48 to 21 at Chicago. Luck man threw three touchdown passes and set up two others. One of the seven Bear touch downs came on a klckoff return, the other on a fumble. Sammy Baugh connected with four scoring passes to account for all but one of Washington's touchdowns in a 33 to 7 victory over Green Bay Packers at Mil waukee. The other came on a plunge by Andy Farkas. The Green Bay touchdown came on n toss by Tony Canadeo to the "old reliable" Don Hutson, who caught his first scoring pass in three games. Frankie SInkwich passed De troit to its third victory in five starts, 7 to 0 over the Chicago Cardinals. SInkwich hit Harry Hopp with a short pass and the ex-Nebraska back went 67 yards to the goat. Rookie Bill Paschal sparked the Giants to a 20 to 0 victory over Brooklyn Dodgers, scoring twice and picking up 101 yards in 22 trips with the ball.

Wilton United Press Correspondent Washington,- Oct. 18. (U.R) Wendell L. Willkie comes here tomorrow to address Republican legislators and to test for him self congressional reaction to his proposal for post-war united nations council to maintain world peace. He will ipeak before the Re publican "freshman club," an organization of newcomers to congress. But Republican sena tors and representatives of long er service also will be present. He comes here as the most active of the avowed candidates for next year's Republican presiden tial nomination. , Stassen Boomed Political observers are saying that it is "Willkie against, the field." There Is a mid-western boomlet centered .now in Nebras ka for former Gov. Harold E, Stassen, of Minnesota. Stassen presently Is on active duty with the navy in the Pacific. Gov. John W. Brlcker, of Ohio, three times elected to that office, has more favorite son backing. But his campaign so far has not seemed to move very rapidly. There is talk here that Sen, Robert A. Taft, D., O., may get back In the scramble for the 1944 nomination before the last Republican national convention ballot Is cast, Taft took himself out of the race last December bv announcing his support of Brlcker for the 1944 nomination. But if the Brlcker campaign bogged down, ' Taft might feel free to try on his own. MacArtbur Supported Gen. Douglas MacArthur has enough nationwide support to keep his name well up in results of Republican preference polls. Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich., has been talking up Mac Arthur for months. ' But Willkie is more actlv: than all the rest of them com. bined so far. A major obstacle before him Is opposition of or ganization Republicans, includ- ir j some, key congressional leaders and some powerful state leaders. There is some evidence that he offended congressional Republicans still further in last week's St. Louis speecn oy say ing that a wise labor policy "must not be in the punitive spirit of the southern Democrats' Smith-Connally Ret." That act, sponsored by a Vir ginian In the house and a Texan lit the senate, was aimea primar ily at - United Mine Workers President John L. Lewis. Its sponsors were southern Demo crats but the bill had substantial Remibltcan support, as well Those Republicans who voted for the bill and are satisfied with its results will not relish Willkle's language. Shot At Dewey Political Washington also ob served that Willkie took a shot at Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, in St. Louis. Willkie repudiated any suggestion of "exclusive offensive and defen sive alliances between any two of the principal allies." Dewey proposed last month that the United States should enter Into a post-war defensive alliance with Great Britain. Dewey is not regarded as More than 6,000,000 men are In the 'barbed wire legion" prisoners of war, who need mora than the estab lished prison regime If their spirit Is to be maintained. These men need your help. Don't fall them. You help them when you support the Rational Var Fund by giving to your own community campaign.
