CLASH IN THIRD

Los Angeles, Nov. 24 (U.R)
When grldders from the Univer

California cavort oh the coli
seum greensward Saturday, it
will make the third time in the
history of the cross town war
fare that a Rose Bowl bid hinged
on the outcome of the battle.

only to take a 9 to 0 drubbing
from Georgia. -
But the fracas local- football
patrons will never forget was
the' memorable 0 to 0 struggle
in 1939, when the underdog
Bruins couldn't score in four at
tempts from the 3-yard line in
the last minute of play. With
103,000 customers yelling them
selves hoarse, the Bruins were
stopped six Inches from pay dirt
in what would have gone down
as one of the great upsets' of
far western football history.
That Bruin backfiqld boasted
such areata as Kenny Washing
ton, now running wild for the
San Francisco Clippers; Ned
Mathews, currently starring for
the Hollywood Rangers; Leo
Cantor, power driving fcack for
the 4th Air Force Bombers, and
fleet Jackie Robinson. Howard
Jones' Trojan backfield featured
all-American Grenny Lansdell,
Bob Peoples, former national
javelin champ; blocking back
Bob Hoffman and breakaway
artist Amby Schlndler.
Saturday's game might lack
the luster of the stars of that
year's game, but it won't be
short in the fight department.
The Trojans and Bruins are
about as fond of each other as
are the clan from Stanford and
California.

Oregon State College, Corval
lis, Nov. 24 Oregon State bas
ketball fans will get their first
look at the 1944-45 Beaver hoop
team here tonight when William
ette university's Navycats come
to Corvallis for the pre-season
opened. The two clubs will move
over to Salem f or a return con
test Saturday night.
Although the speedy young
Oregon Webfoots whipped Wil
lamette twice by scores of 55 to
35 and 69 to 49 last week end,
Coach A. T. (Slats) Gill has
warned his men not to expect a
soft touch this week end. Coach
Duke Trotter's navy boys showed
lots of promise in the Duck
games and should give the
Beavers plenty of competition.
After over a month of prac
tice the Beavers are rapidly
rounding into top form and Gill
believes they are ready for out
side competition. The half vet
eran, half freshman Orange
squad shows promise of giving
Oregon State a strong entry in
the coming northern division
campaign. '
Probable starters for the Beav
ers Friday night will be George
Sertio and Ted Henningseh, for
wards; Hal Puddy, center, and
Bernie McGrath and Jack
Slmms, guards. All except Hen
ningsen are-letter winners from
last year's squad and he was a
varsity reserve on the strong
1941 club.
- Other men sure to see action
in the series this week end are
Bob Labhart, Johnny Moore,
Don Eldridge and Larry West,
guards, and Dick Strait, Ed

wards. PETE BELCASTRO

Undefeated Ohio State Has
Hopes of Bid to Rose Bowl
. By Carl Lundquist
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. 24 (U.R) A
dozen football teams harboring
hopes for invitations to New
Year's Day Bowl games lead the
war into the climactic phase of
the 1944 season tomorrow and
the losers may as well pack their
moleskins into mothpalls for an
other year.
Heading the list of hopefuls is
Ohio State, which has to be
doubly optimistic, because even
If it tops Michigan in a battle for
the Big Ten title it still has to
win' a battle with the circuit's
faculty fathers at a special meet
ing in Chicago on Sunday. The
Buckeyes, all-victorious to date
and ranking as the nation's num
ber one civilian team, have got
ten a definite Rose Bowl bid
but haven't a ghost of a chance
to go unless the long-standing
league rule against post-season
games is rescinded.
Day's Attraction '
That game, likely to be de
cided in a brilliant battle be
tween Ohio State's hard driving
backs and Michigan's stout line,
is tne day s top attraction and
probably will draw a crowd of
75,000 or more at Columbus, O.
The Buckeyes, 7 to 5 favorites,
will lose the title to Michigan by
a half game if the Wolverines
stage an upset, since they have
played one more conference
game. '
The western representative
for the Rose Bowl game .will
emerge from the Southern-Cali-fornia-U.C.L.A.
game ' with the
Trojans 2 to 1 favorites to win
it.
Texas Christian can clinch the
southwest conference title and a
Cotton Bowl bid by beating Rice
and is an 8 to 5 favorite.-
Other Bowl eligibles are
Georgia, which is 7 to 5 to defeat
Clemson tonight, Oklahoma A &
M, a 6 to 5 favorite oyer Okla
homa, Duke, which rates 2 to 1
over North Carolina, Tennessee,
unbeaten but tied and 2 to 1 to
repeat an earlier victory over
Kentucky, and Mississippi State
at 5 to 2 over Mississippi. Iowa
Pre-Flight, highly eligible with
nine straight victories after an
opening day defeat, . closes a
heavy season at 3 to 1 over
