E E HUSKIES ON TOP San Francisco, Oct. 29 (U.R) The "run for the roses" was on in full swing today as wide open as the proverbial barn door. Banged around by the Univer sity of Washington Huskies on Saturday, 13-7; and 33-6 a couple of weeks before that by San Diego Navy, the Trojans of the University of Southern Califor nia appear just about out of the Y running for their third successive bid to the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Definitely "in" are the Hus kies and the UCLA Bruins. Offic ially, Coach Ralph (Pest) Welch's club is leading the Pacific Coast conference standings with four wins and one loss. Tied for sec ond are UCLA and El Trojan. But the men of Troy are in for another tough time this coming Saturday when they face some thing a little different in the way of competition in untied and un defeated St. Mary's Gaels. Coach Jimmy Phelan's club is favored to win this one and with a week's rest under its belt it should be In fine fettle. The Bruins, who whipped Uni versity of Oregon Friday night by a 12-0 count are idle for the next two weeks. Then they, too, must entertain the galloping Gaels from Moraga. y UCLA and USC also clash with each other in the final game on Dec. 1 so that puts Wash ington in the spot where it can win the bid, hands down, by getting by Oregon, Oregon State, Idaho and Washington State, in that order.

Sport Chips BY Harry Chipman Mail Tribune Sports Editor pit district 2 against district 4 and district 1 against 'district 3 with the winners to clash for the state championship. Upstate sports writers are be ginning to concede Medford's Black Tornado the state football championship, as much as we imagine it hurts them. North Bend, the only other undefeated class A team in the southern Ore gon district, swept over Myrtle Point, 39 to 6, Saturday. It ap pears the Bulldogs and Medford will battle it out to see which team represents district 2 in the race for state laurels. McMinnville has a tight grip on district 3' northern divis ion crown while Columbia Prep of Portland is also un beaten but was held to a tie by Central Catholic Friday night. Corvallis is a definite contend er for the district 3, southern divitien title, although Cottage Grove boasts a perfect record against smaller schools. They rolled over Roseburg, 21-0, in their biggest test to data and will have to be considered for the stakes. In district 1, Hood River and The Dalles appear far ahead in the race. LaGrande and Baker loom as outside possibilities, but aren't generally ranked along with the Columbia river teams. Grant still dominates play in the Portland city league, making up district 4. The Generals whipped Washington, 20-0, Sat urday night to remain Portland's only unbeaten and untied team. Semi-final playoff games will Medford rolled up a total of 564 yards to the Cavemen's 128 in licking Grants Pass, 73 to 0 Friday night.

Green Bay, the defending champion, rode over the Chicago Cardinals, 33 to 14. Don Hutson scored 21 points for the Packers. Detroit made good use of the "breaks" to defeat the Chicago Bears, 16 to 10.
