Trojans Play Big 10 Foes Next 4 Years (By NEA Service Los Angeles, Oct. 22.—Southern Cal- ifornia is going to see a lot of the mid- west the next four years—and the west coast is going tu see quite a bit of Big Ten football during the same interval.

It's a fact that the Gophers have equaled the “Notre Dame record.” The “fighting Irish” of ’21 registered 20 consecutive triumphs. That mark was equalled in 1929-31, including the last two unbeaten teams coached by Knute K, Rockne. The all-time all-American winning streak, so far as this writer's diligent research reveals, was set by the sturdy |men of Yale away back in the “ele- fant eighties.” The Elis of 1885-89 ran up a stretch of 48 straight: victories. They thought nothing of taking on @ dozen opponents in a season back in those times, meeting some foes twice or three times, You may have heard something about the University of Washington’s winning streak, during the regime of Gilmour Dobie as head coach. It’s in the books that the Huskies rolled up 44 consecutive wins from 1908 to ‘14, but it hardly compares with the best marks, before or since, for the simple reason that it was not compiled ex- clusively in college competition. Those Oobie “Juggernauts” not only confined their competition to a limit- ed area in the days before football assumed “big league” proportions on the west coast, but their streak in- {cluded nine victories over high school teams and a total of 14 games against non-college opponents. The University of Michigan's famous “point-a-minute” aggrega- tions, at the turn of the century, achieved a stretch of 56 games without defeat, from 1901 to 1905. The Wol- verines reeled off 29 consecutive vic- tories, were tied by Minnesota in 1903, then triumph in their next 26 con- tests. So-called modern or post-war foot- ball includes a remarkable record by the University of California's “Won- der” teams, coached by Andy Smith. The Golden Bears went through 50 jgames without tasting defeat, from 1920 to 1925. The longest victory stretch, however, consisted of 18 games. There were three ties in this record. Moving to Cornell University, Gil Dobie coached teams that ran up 26 consecutive victories, From 1921 to 1924, This is the best compiled since the war, so far as the big leagues are concerned, although Pop Warner's Pittsburgh aggregations ended a five- are streak of 33 straight victories in The chief winning streak honors Southern California to Minnesota in recent years. ° The Trojans, me where the Irish left off, Three Saints Ineligible St, Mary's hopes of defeating Lin- ton in their Homecoming game here Friday. afternoon suffered a severe setback Thursday morning with the announcement that three of the Saints’ gridders will be ineligible for the contest.

D., Oct. 22—(P)— Coach Enrie Gates, Jamestown high school gridiron mentor, is just a litge provoked with coaches of Class elevens who are “trying to gain championship recognition by piling up scores” on Class “B” clubs. “It not only looks bad and ridicu- lous,” Coach Gates asserted, “but it doesn’t do these little teams any good and it certainly isn’t very nice to the coach of a Class ‘B’ team who happens to be short of material.” “There are Class ‘A’ teams in this state who play the majority of their schedules against Class ‘B’ competi- tion, and just because they run up 50 or 60 points a game, think they have a football team,” he said. A glance at the Blue Jays’ 1936 schedule shows Coach Gates has matched his eleven with only three Class “B” clubs, which he says are “breathers and warm-ups.” The bal= ance of the schedule includes six Class “A” opponents, Bismarck, Valley City, Mandan, Devils Lake, Fargo and a ‘second game with Valley City. In six starts this season the Blue Jays have dropped only one game. They were defeated by Coach Joe Rognstad’s walloping Hi-Liner crew from Valley City 14 to 0. “It seems to me there is a lot more satisfaction in playing a schedule like that than those who lick the tar out of @ bunch of little schools,” he said. Gates stated he would be “in favor of sending any team that can beat Valley City to South Dakota.” Philippine Club Plays Hawaiians in Baseball Manila, Oct. 22.—(#)—The Calamba einen Manila’ bay league, has invaded pam to meet leading teams of those ‘ago sugar team at Waypajo.

Barring the possibility of ties, at least six of the top elevens from coast to coast will pass out of the picture in half a dosen meetings bringing together unbeaten _ outfits on both sides, topped by the mid- west collision of Minnesota's, Goph- ers and Purdue's Boilermakers, and the Fordham-St, Mary’s intersectional clash in New York. In addition to these half-dozen certainties, the slate is studded with at least nine other battles in which undefeated combinations tangle with teams which, although already beaten, may turn the trick. Along with the Purdue-Minnesota, Fordham-8t. Mary’s clashes, the all- unbeaten contests bring together Tu- lane's mighty Green Wave and North Carolina's Tarheels in a southern standout; Michigan State and Mar- quette in a feature meeting of two independent mid-western winners; Villanova and Boston U. in the east and the Utah-Utah State which may lie the Rocky Mountain conference championship.
