Stanford's football Indians bit the dust today war victims. Stanford will not field a team this year or probably for the duration of the war, for that mattor because there just aren't enough interested, able-bodied non-army men on the campus to make up a squad. Tho official announcement last night said that "Stanford uni versity cannot play its conference football schedule because of a lack of manpower on the campus. All games are cancelled." Coach Marchio Schwartz and his staff will devote their ener gies to the army's physical fitness program at Stanford. One lone civilian, a young third-string quarterback, show- Lee Savold Kayoes Nova in Second Round Whan in Msdford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern:. Joe and Anne Earlay Proprietors cd up for spring practice, but Schwartz figured he could build up a team from the many army boys In training on the campus. The army killed that idea, how ever, with its rule prohibiting the trainees from participating In Intercollegiate athletics. Stanford's decision threw the southern half of the Pacific Coast conference into a jumble and meant the suspension of the bitter, 50-year-old pigskin feud with the University of California the "big game" in these parts. The Indians, one of the coun try's top-ranking football pow ers for decades, had games billed with California, Santa Clara, the University of San Francisco, and the St. Mary's and Del Monte pre flight service teams, as well as homc-and-home games . with Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles. There were indications that nearby Santa Clara university and perhaps other coast schools which have an overwhelming majority of servicemen might follow Stanford's lead in aban doning football. Many of them have a similar manpower short age. Santa Clara, which Is not a conference member, will reveal Its plans in a few days, said Coach Lawrence T. (Buck) Shaw, adding that the prospect was "extremely gloomy. University of California's Coach L. B. (Stub) 'Allison ex pressed regret at Stanford's demise, terming the Indian club a "keen competitor," and adding that the Golden Bears will "def initely go ahead with football." California has naval trainees up on which to draw. Southern California, UCLA and the other teams Stanford had lined up set about re-arranging their schedules. UCLA filled in College of Pacific ten tatively for October 2.
