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

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

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

Camp White football get under

At 1 p. m. the 35th Engineer

The seeond game of the dou

There is little doubt that Camp

way through workmen's restau
rants, luxury hotels, Red Cross
centers sr.d r.iiddle-class restau
rants in 18 small towns and
cities, here to' report to Amer
ica's hotels and restaurants on
her return, said today that Lord
Woolton, the minister of food,
taught the British housewife how
to cook and conserve.
"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.
