By HAL VOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) Come rain, snow or high water, more than 250,000, one quarter of a million, mind you fans, will turn out for football games involving Pacific Coast Conference teams on Saturday. Not because there is anything of major importance at stake but because of a little item call ed tradition. The oldest game is at Eugene, Ore., where Oregon and Oregon State tangle for the 59th time. They'll have 25,000 in the stands. Then comes California vs. Stanford, meeting for the 57th conflict before 90,000 at Stan ford. Of course, Washington and Washington State will be at it for the 48th time before about 35,000. Bruins vs. Trojans And then, among the johnny-come-latelys, Southern Califor nia tangles with UCLA -for the 25th time before 101,000 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Idaho, the "half-sister" in the conference, steps outside the loop competition for its tradi tional foe, Montana University, for the 39th time, before about 10,000 fans at Moscow. UCLA already has clinched a tie for the PCC championship even if it loses to Southern Cali fornia. On top of that, Coach Red Sanders' club must be con sidered a cinch to go to the Rose Bowl. The Bruins and their Sam (First Down) Brown have lost only one game this year to Maryland. They are 10-point fa vorites to beat the Trojans and if they do they will have undis puted possession of the PCC title for the second year in a row. Beavers vs. Ducks Oregon State has a chance to tie for the crown by beating Ore gon, 'but UCLA already has trounced the Beavers and the Eruins appear the logical choice for the Rose Bowl bid. Southern California would have to upset UCLA to give the Beavers a share in the title. California, suffering from its worst season in eight years, will be trying to keep a victory string intact against. Stanford. The Golden Bears haven't lost a game to the Indians since Pappy Waldorf came to Strawberry Canyon. Washington is a 15-point fa vorite to whip a Washington State team that has won. only one game all year, while tying two others. Idaho, winner of only one con test all season, should beat the Montana club that is playing in a slightly lower classification. INJURIES FATAL North Bend, Ore. (U.R) Archie Earl Allen, 25, employee of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company here, died yesterday of ijjjuries suffered when he was pinned between a truck and a railroad car into which he had been loading wood chips.
