California Girl Gets
Lesson in Geography
Brownsville, Tex. (U.R) A
pretty Air Force wife from Cali
fornia has learned that names
are confusing and Texas is a
mighty big place.
Mrs. Don Weaver, San Jose,
Calif., rfkvanted to go to Brown

got off the bus she found out she
was in Brownsville at the south
ern ,tip of Texas, more than 600
Miles away.
1907 Oregon State, which
went through the year unscored
upon, was barely able to squeak
by Oregon, 4-0, and Washington
State handed Washington an 11
5 beating the last time the
Huskies were to lose for nine
years.
Huntington Kicked
1914 Shy Huntington kicked
a 35-yard field goal to give
Oregon a 3-3 tie with the Bea
vers. 1918 Oregon's first team
played the full game without a
substitution in beating Oregon

consider the greatest of all
clashes in the 58-year-old ri-valrv.

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.
