OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTQBER 19, 1943. By Roger Johnson United Press Correspondent Stockton, Cal., Oct. 19 U.R) Amos Alonzo Stagg is not day dreaming about the chances of his unbeaten College of Pacific .Tigers being invited to repre sent the west in the Pasadena Rose Bowl New Year's day.- "Don't forget that we have to play Southern California at Los Angeles Saturday and they're undefeated, too," the 81year-old Pacific coach told me today. ."The Trojans should be given the edge over us because they have more reserves and tremen dous backfield speed. "Anyway," h continued, "I un derstand the Pacific Coast Con ference votes for the western representative In the Rose Bowl so our chances are remote, even though we might go through without losing a game." ! Stagg Is intensely proud of his 32-man squad which pulled the greatest upset of the season by whipping the All-Americans from Del Monte Navy Pre-Flight, 16 to 7, here last Saturday. Most Trainees Most of the players, including Johnny Podesto from Modesto, the rifle-arm passer, are Ma rine trainees. Others are In the Navy V-12 program and a few still wear civilian garb. "These boys compare favor ably with any of the outstand ing squads I had at the Univer sity of Chicago before the last war," Stagg asserted. "They Just Keep fighting. They don't ex pect to be beaten and don't In tend to. The fact that they've won four out of their five victo ries in the fourth quarter dem onstrates this." Stagg laughed when I asked him about his "radical" setup on punt formation, when almost the entire Pacific team races down the field, leaving the kicker un "That's nothing new, he chuckled. "I started using that at Chicago in 1918 when I didn't have capable ends or tackles. taught the kicker to get the ball off almost a second faster than usual by taking only one step instead of two. The Tigers demonstrated the success of this method when they held Ensign Len Eshmont of Del Monte, by way of Fordham, to exactly zero yards on punt run backs. .1 Los Angeles, Oct. 19 (11.19 Coach Jeff Cravath nursed hopes today that Bill Gray, reg ular center, will return to his University of Southern Callior nia Trojan squad by Saturday in time for the College of the Pacific game. Gray, who left after the San Francisco university encounter to visit his family in Oregon, might be brought back by plane. Letterman Joe Wolf otherwise will take the center position. The undefeated Trojans will nave regular workouts the re mainder of the week before they meet the undefeated Collge or the Pacific team. BOWLING In league games at the Med ford alleys last night, Medford Domestic Laundry defeated Med ford Millworks, 2 to 1 (Schantol M2, Nnmitz 201); Murray's Mald Rlte defeated Your Office Boys, 2 to 1 (Witter 566, Queen 225) and Signal Oil bent M and M, 3 to 0 (Stark 563, Stark 224). flcant contests of the season. It should reveal Navy's compara tive big-time strength and IncV cate how the heavily-manned Middies will fare later against Notre Dame, Pennsylvania and Army. Capt. Bllllck Whelchel's Navy squad is a question mark be cause of its contrasting perform ances thus far. The Annapolis machine, five deep at every position and apparently pos sessed of great air and land power, looked like a strong can didate for the mythical national title in its first two tests. It sank North Carolina Naval, 81- 0; and then torpedoed apparently strong Cornell, 42-7. But it was a .different story in the next two contests. The Sailors won by a single point over Duke, 14-13, by virtue of Bob Gantt's missed kick, after Duke's second touchdown in the closing minutes of play. - Last Saturday, Navy had great diffi culty in coming up with a 14-6 win over Penn State, which al ready had been beaten, 19-0, by North Carolina and held to scoreless tie by Colgate. Meanwhile . Bill Alexander's Engineers from Georgia Tech have suffered only one blot against their record; but it Is a big one. They were crushed 55 to 13 by Notre Dame. Despite this unprecedented trouncing by the Irish, Georgia Tech still must be regarded as a menace, if the Middies let down. . Although comparative scores . are not necessarily Important, the Mid dies should , remember that Georgia Tech beat North Caro lina, 20-7; whereas Duke won only 14-7 over North Carolina. Last Saturday, In the 'rain at Annapolis, Navy was not impres sive against Penn State. The Middies registered a touchdown and conversion in the first period; but then they became so ineffective offensively that in the other three periods Navy made only six first downs and got into Penn: State territory only three times, including Bill Barron's 43-yard touchdown run in the last session. They were playing against a team on which several men received no rest. However, in the Middles' be hal It can be emphasized that the mud and slippery ball inter- fered with their back-of-the-line speed and hocus-pocus. Also that they were playing without six men who were injured in the Duke game, including Backs Bob Jenkins and Bruce Smith. All are expected to be present Saturday night. Captain Whelchel's lads face a mighty stiff assignment in Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Pennsylvania on consecutive Saturdays; and Army's rolling caisson later, after a "breather" against Columbia; .

Gen. Amos Thomas, post commander, offi cially opened the 1943 season at the sports arena field. Two teams of fighting football men formed a huge "V," spearheaded by the four officials, as Gen. Thomas announced the opening of the league. At 1 p. m. the 35th Engineer eleven took the field against the 80th General Hospital team and were on the better end of a 6-0 score. The seeond game of the dou ble-header went to the 83rd Gen eral Hosnttal, which gave SCU Medical Detachment a 15-0 past ing. Sunday opened the season on the Service Club 2 gridiron and there the SCU "Wolves" fell be fore the 318th Hospital, 8-0, to wind up the first week end of play. All three games were evenly matched, hard-fought battle?. high In playing quality and good sportsmanship. There is little doubt that Camp White has the best league among the army installations on this coast; seven strong teams well coached and powered by ex-college and professional greats. It is hoped that an all-camp team will be picked as the season pro gresses, possibly for competition with other camps.

"I've had grand meals in cheap restaurants here. They have far less to make them with than Americans do and are doing a better Job with what they have," Miss Snapper said. Miss Snapper, who describes herself as "the eyes and ears of the restaurant world," said she believed that food administra tion in the United States should be under a food czar like Lord Woolton and added "our prob lem would be easier if ration ing, prices and distribution were centered in a single organiza tion as here." 'The British have done a wonderful job," she said. "I met one hotelkecper - who served meals all through the blitz and whose hotel is understaffed. He forbids his waiters to turn on guests and snap, ''Don't .you know there's a war on. - Visiting hotels taken over for refugees from Gibraltar and for Polish exiles and evacuees from Malta, Miss Snapper said she was impressed by the number of mouths' which Britain feeds. "If Americans could see how their food keeps such people alive, they would stop grous ing," she said. She pointed out, too, that food from the United States supplies American soldiers and the Red Cross which, in Britain, operates in the largest chain of hotels in the world. Miss Snapper said that when she returns to the United States she will tell Washington officials that the British rationing sys tem for hotels is better. Luxury hotels, she said, are allowed to charge a cover, though meals must be a standard price of one dollar.
