UCLAN ACE RUNS BEARS HELPLESS FOR 13 TOO WIN Los Angeles, Oct. 13 (U.R) Cal Rossi, 170 pounds of speed and drive, ran the University of California ends and tackles dizzy today to lead the University of California at Los Angeles foot ball team to a 13 to 0 victory be fore 52,000 fans at the Memorial Coliseum. California's pre-game a slight favorite because of the recent addition of three backs, showed the same completely important offense that characterized its play against Southern California two weeks ago. Coach Bert Labrucherie, ap parently working hard on his team's two weaknesses pass of fense and pass defense saw his team bottle up the California passing threat as well as the running attack, and at the same time moved consistently on Ernie Case's spot passes. California never made a real scoring threat throughout the game, but it took UCLA more than a period to make its way through the stout California line. When UCLA finally got going, it was the swivel-hipped Rossi, who leaves UCLA in two weeks, who led the way for a victory that was more one-sided than the score reveals. UPSET 8-0 WIN TO BEAT COUGAR Seattle, Oct. 13 (U.B Wash ington's Huskies turned on a powerful ground attack in the last period of their traditional clash with Washington State to win 6-0, handing the Cougars their first Pacific coast confer ence loss of the season today. A crowd of 35,000 saw Coach Pest Welch's eleven beat down WSC's powerful opening attack in the first period. Washington took full advantage of the break down in the Cougar's aerial of fensive and turned loose a strong ground drive that finally paid off with one minute, forty-five sec onds left in the final period when left half Gordon Hungar broke through left tackle and galloped 40 yards across Washington State's pay stripe standing up. Washington failed to add the point when the kick went wide. Washington's victory gave them their season's first win in the tra ditional contest for the gover nor's trophy. With one more game to play this year the trophy race found Washington leading over a 45-year period with 22 victories to Washington State's nine. Washington State took the field a six-point favorite to de velop the famed attack after threatening repeatedly in the first period. ST. MARY'S DEFEAT STAGG SQUAD 61-0 San Francisco, Oct. 13 (U.R) The rough -riding St. Mary's Gaels put a new-found ground attack on display here this after noon to smother Amos Alonzo Stagg's College of Pacific Tigers, 61-0, before 15,000 fans in fog shrouded Kezar stadium.

Six thousand blue jackets, of ficers and a scattering of civi lians, astounded by the Navy squads display of power, saw the blue jackets rack up three touchdowns in the first quarter and two more in the second period. The hapless Trojans' lone tally came in the opening minutes of the third period. The Trojans, already winners of three straight games this fall, were helpless before the charg ing Navy forwards, who carved holes in what was thought to be one of Coast Champions best lines.

There is only one issue involved in the present tie-up of the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest! That is the issue of a decent living wage for workers in the timber and sawmills. Efforts to drag in other issues, such as jurisdictional misunderstandings, are purely "stalling" tactics to confuse the public and some of the workers themselves. IS S1.IO AN HOUR Unreasonable? The Lumber and Sawmill Workers, A. F. of L., called this strike only to enforce their demand for a minimum hourly wage of $1.10 (some present minimums are as low as 70 cents). Under this rate a married worker with one child gets "take home pay" of only $38.90 from his gross pay of $44.00. How many of you would like to work in the most hazardous industry in the country and maintain a family on less than $39? These are the workers who were "frozen" on their jobs at wages far below wages paid imported, unskilled workers in other defense industries. They are now asking only fair play and living wages. Is this so "unreasonable"? BIG WARTIME PROFITS A FACTOR J Operators have said nothing about whether they are able to meet this wage demand. Nor have they said anything about their large wartime profits. Other business and labor leaders are pointing out, however, that most of the operators have "cleaned up" and for the balance of the year are operating under the excess profits bracket of the corporation income tax. Apparently they are not concerned whether mills operate, nor whether employees work. But the public is concerned, we believe! Tens of thousands want to build homes of their own, they want to be employed and have others employed at living wages! They want Economic Freedom to mean something! CAST YOUR VOTE FOR A LIVING WAGE! Please express your honest convictions on this issue! Write or tell business leaders and big sawmill companies what you think. And please fill in the ballot below and mail it today. You can help fellow Americans get living wages! IsrtlMltltHMHK SIM (IHISiltllllf Hill LUMBER & SAWMILL WORKERS, A.
