GRIDDERS STAR IN COAST LOOP LOS ANGELES, June 6.—Three former University of Southern Cal- ifornia foothall stars are playing leading baseball roles in the Pacific ‘Coast league this year, and a fourth may step into the picture before the season is out.

The big right rander graduated from Troy, where he was a great tackle, to the coast league; then to the big leagues, and now is back again, H Morris Badgro, better known as| as a great end in professional foot- ball, is playing the outfield for, Seattle.
