The Pacific coast championship
and a Rose Bowl bid will be on
the line Saturday when South
ern California's Trojans and Col
'lege of Pacific undefeated'
i Titans of the ' west clash In
Memorial coliseum.
It's a war-born situation whose
prediction a year ago would
have drawn snickers. It will
draw the coast's biggest football
crowd of the season.
Amos Alonzo Stagg, 81-year-old
dean of football tutors, used
the wizardry of 53 years of coach
ing this fall to give little C. P.
one of its greatest teams.
Strengthened by a host of Ma
rine trainees Including the en
tire St. Mary's backfleld t last
year College of Pacific has rid
den roughshod over five oppo
nents. Podesto Stan
All were tough, but, led hy
Presto Podesto of Modesto, the
coast's top passer, Stagg's boys
whipped Alameda Coast Guard,
St. Mary's Pre-Flight, U. C. L. A.,
California, and finally as 6 to
1 longshots humbled Del Monte
Pre-Fllght's All-Americans.
Southern California, loaded
with speedy ball carriers and
presenting a defense that to date
has been Invulnerable, has won
four games In a row. The Trojan
attack has netted 74 points while
holding U. C. L. A., California,
St. Mary's Pre-Flight and San
Francisco scoreless.
In another top coast game, the
undefeated Fourth Air Force
Fliers travel to Seattle to meet
the Isolated University of Wash
ington Huskies, who found them'
selves with only three games
this season when all other north'
ern teams of the conference were
forced to quit.
. California, with' a two-won-
and-two-lost record, meets St.
Mary's Pre-Flight, and Alameda
Coast Guard faces Fleasanton
Navy. Del Monte Pre-Flight
tackles San Francisco In Sun
day game.

TEAMS TO TRAIN
ISLAM RULE
Chicago. Oct. 21 U.R) Base
ball Commissioner Kenesaw M.
Landis today sounded a key
note for the continuation of the
game In the face of war-time in
roads by announcing that major
league clubs would train again
In northern camps.
The anouneement by the 77-
year-old diamond czar was blunt
and emphatic. It said: -
"Major league clubs will train
in the north next year ai they
did in 1943."
There wa no flowery mes
sage of a determination to "car
ry on" in the Landis ruling, but
his meaning was plain. Signifi
cantly It came when a possible
"fold-up" of the majors because
of player shortages and other
war-time difficulties was In. the
spotlight because of an announce
ment 24 hours earlier of the re
tirement of Joe Gordon, star sec
ond baseman of the world cham
pion New York Yankees.
Landis' ruling halted well In
advance of the annual league
meetings scheduled for New
York in December, the forma
tion of any "pressure group" to
campaign for a return by major
league clubs to training bases
in the deep south and the far
west.
Before the 1B4S season closed
a representative of southern
cities where major league teams
formerly trained had conferred
with National and American
league elub owners and reached
tentative agreement! with some
for their return.
One of the strong arguments
for the return to the southern
bases was that the clubs could
entertain soldiers ad sailors in
training In the section.
Some club owners seeking a
return to the south stressed the
fact the government had not or
dered the northern training, but
that It had been a voluntary go
ture made In baseball's behalf
by Landis. The agreement was
made by Landis after conferences
with Joseph Eastman, director of
the Office of Defense Transportation.'
FREAK ACCIDENT '
"MAY KEEP DIPPEt
G.
Medford junior high gridders
travel to Grants Pass tonight to
play the Cavemen freshmen In
a game starting at 8 o'clock,
bent on making it two straight
over the Climate City eleven.
Two weeks ago the - Bulldogs
blanked the Grant Pass frosh,
6 to 0, here.
Coach Let Grant said that
Whillock and Werner would
man the-flanks, Mottern and
Walls the tackles, Tlngley and
Dow the guards, Newton the
center post, Llndley and Stelle
the halfbacks, Jonei the quar
terback position and Greene the
fullback berth. '
A freak accident suffered by
Steve Dlppel yesterday may
keep Medford'f chief offensive
threat out of the Grant Pass
game at Granta Pass Friday
night, seriously weakening a
Tornado eleven already hurt by
the probable loss of Dale Nle
dermeyer. Dlppel, captain and left half
back, pulled some muscles in
his groin while running across
a plowed field in order not to
be late for school. He was un
able to practice yesterday and
whether he will be ready to
go against the Cavemen was
considered doubtful by Coach
jjorne Arnold.
Nledermeyer, regular right
halfback, injured hit hip in the
Klamath Falls game and is also
a doubtful starter. Even if both
are able to play their efficiency
will c-e impaired.
' Last night at the stadium, the
Ashland sophomores defeated
the Medford sophs, 7 to 6, by
virtue of a touchdown and
extra point in the fourth pe

.KPING FULLY INFORMED, getting all the
news, is something that we in America have long
been used to. But war has magnified its importance,
made it far more vital than at any time in the past.
For this is a people's war . . . and full information
is the people's indispensable weapon for Victory.
We have always turned to our newspapers as the most
complete source of news. The war has made us more
dependent on newspapers than ever before . ,
. . . for full reports of the day's events ... for detailed
news from the battlefronts and the homefronts, from
Washington and other world centers, and from our
own town.
iii for full information on wartime regulations . .
on rationing and taxes, dimouts and blackouts, draft .
orders and air raid rules ... on how to save, how to
make things last longer, -what to do to help win the
war and hasten the coming of peace.
. . . for editorial interpretations and expert analysis
of the important happenings,, to give us a better
understanding of what's going on today and what
lies ahead.
, . . for the vital news that comes through the adver
tisements of manufacturing plants and retail stores,
news of what industry is doing and plannirig, news
of merchandise and services the stores are offering.
We depend on newspapers to be fully informed.
Small wonder, then, that today, when being well
posted is so important to all of us, newspapers are
being read more eagerly, more thoroughly, and by
more people than ever before. That's one reason why
newspaper space is so powerful a medium for war
time advertisers. .
