AGE | STANFORD GRID TRAM FAVORED POR 3RD TITLE California Golden Bears’ Have Most Impressive Squad This Year Since 1924 ae TROJANS BEAR WATCHING Graduation Struck a Heavy Blow to Coach Enoch Bag- shaw’s Washington Team By RUSSELL J. NEWLAND (Associated Press Sports Writer) San Francisco, Sept. 5.— (AP) — The team that wins the. 1928 Pacific Coast Conference championship will have to travel a more rugged route than ever before. Not only has competition been broadened by the addition of another contender—the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles—but the dis- tribution of man power is more even. Teams that were weak last year have more potential stars glimmer- ing in the ranks and early season dope” promises a terrific scramble for honors by the ten grid squads. Adding to the keen conference rivalry: will be three important in- | tersectional games. They bring to- ther, Stanford and Army in New ‘ork City; Oregon State College and New York University on the latter’s home grounds, and Notre Dame and fouthern California in Los Angeles. Stanford Is Favorite < Stanford, conference champion for two years and victor over Pitts- bargh in the East-West game last F season, will be a_ slight favorite again this year. Foxy Glen “Pop” q farner, whose perennial and amaz- - ing formations have caused the rules to be changed many times, is count- ed on to come up with several new . plays as usual. Coach Warner’s first gesture has | been to add power to his backfield. He plans to use heavy quarterbacks.

With Captain-elect Jess Bibbs, who was chosen as tackle on ; many all-American teams last year, p) as the nucleus, Coach Howard Jones seasoned material for every other Rosition on the line. To re- place Morley Drury, all-American quarterback, Jones is rooming: three 1927 regulars—Russ Saunders, Don Williams and Rocky Kemp — and Marshall Duffield, a-newcomer. ,. California Comes Back After three seasons filled with } many defeats- disappointments } University of California comes to the front with the most impressive f squad since 1924. Coach C. M. “Nibs” Price will have 20 veterans || to work with, including Captain- } elect Irvine Phillips, who received generous mention in 1927 as all- coast end. A wealth of backfield materia) features several men who helped California beat Pennsylvania last year. saad the northern members, Sa tate College stands out. Six of the 18 regulars returning have had two yeers varsity experience. Among the prospects is Coquelle Thompson, 200-pound Indian, whose spring practice work stamps him as an outstanding fulJback possibility. t Whitlock to End ‘One of Coach Paul Schissler’s first was to shift Mel Whitlock, moth halfback, to an end pos: It is expected to materially hen the front line while is plenty of: “beef” left in the row.

The gtants had taken the--first ame of a doubleheader from the hils 9 to 4 and were leading in the -|second game when Scott entered the box to pitch against the tailenders Wi in the ninth. There were two outs with Kelin on base when Mr. Williams entered the drama. It looked like the game the “alley.” The old-timer clouted it over the right field wall, scoring Kelin and winning the game 8 and 7. Jack apparently forgot all about “Cy’s” reputation at Philadelphia yesterday and so the New York Giants lost a golden opportunity to shave a full game off the national league lead of Bill McKechnie’s St. Louis Cardinals. Instead of gaining ground, the Giants really lost some for the Chi- cago Cubs also put on a ninth in- ning rally at the expense of the Pittsburgh Pirates and advanced to within an eyelash of the second place Giants. The figures in this mathematical tangle were: New York .5748 and Chicago .5746. Brooklyn took both ends of a doubleheader with the Boston Brave: 3 to 2 in 10 innings, and 9 to Flowers’ homer gave Dazzy Vance his 19th victory in the opener. In the American League, the Athletics came back strong after their double Labor Day reverse at Washington, and ce peea the Sena- t f supreme in the pinches. The victory put the A’s within two games of the idle New. York Yankees. The Chicago White Sox, taking their second doubleheader in as many days from Detroit, stepped in- to a fourth. place tie with the Sena. The score in eacl to, 2. Hunnefield’s si eleventh gave the Sox the first game and a ninth inning rally accounted for the nightcap. The St. Louis Browns bunched hits in three innings to down the Cleveland Indians, 9 to 6, for the third straight time. ea EN ae Se Yesterday’s Games | Nc aa echoed NATIONAL LEAGUE, R H Chicago .. 9 10 Pittsburgh ae) 13 Nehf, Bush, Blake and Hartnett; Fussell, Blankenship, Hill and H: greaves.
