SPORTS. CLASH MAY DECIE | WEST COAST TTLE Southren California Boasts| Better Record—Stanford Team Improved. BY PAUL LOWRY. I OS ANGELES, November 6.—| The big battle in the Pacific| Coast Conference tomorrow | —one which will probably| decide the championship—is that| between Stanford and Southern| California. Both teams are undefeated, but Southern California, coached by Howard Jones, has a superior rec- ord to that of Stanford, tutored by Glenn Scobey Warner Southern California has swept through all conference opposition, beating Oregon State, 30-0; Washington State, 38-6; Oregon, 53-0, and California, 6-0. Stanford was tied 1 Washington, 0-0, | and barely eked out a 12-6 victory over U. C. L. A. by completing a forward pass in the last 9 seconds of play. However, Warner is well known for his habit of masking the true strength | of his teams before important games, and virtually all the experts expect the teams to fight it out on an even basis Stanford Held Improved. Southern California has the strongest line on the coast, but Stanford is far ahead of 1930, when S. C. won, 41-1 and it is this factor that gives Stanfor supporters hope for victory. Both teams are in good shape with only Phil Moffatt, Stanford backfield ace, nursing a back injury from the | Washington game two weeks ago. If | MofTatt is unable to perform, it means | 8 serious loss to Stanford's attack. | Moffatt is a triple-threat star and | rates All-America observation this year. In the only other game in the Cal fornia sector of the conference Wash- ington meets California at Berkeley California_already has disposed of | one Washington team, the State cleven from Pullman, Wash. 13-7. but will have a harder task downing the Wash- ington U. team from Seattle. California Not So Strong. Washington handed Stanford a sur- ise on a muddy field a few weeks ack, the game being a 0-0 tie, and California is not rated quite as strong as Stanford. | 1t has been particularly hard to rate | the Northwestern teams this year be- | cause of their in-and-out pla; Oregon beat Washington 0, then lost to Southern California, 53-0, and | game back by beating New York U.| 4- | At the start of the season Oregon | tatr was figured as the team to beat, but has not beaten a major cpponent. | ‘Washingion has better material than last year, and under Jimmy Phelan’s second year of coaching is expscted to prove very formidable against both California and Southern California.

One will be played in St. Louis December University of Mis #5 agiinst the winner of the St. Louis- Washington game and the other in Kansas City, there is a suftable opponent. November 28, provided Score Smaller, Beating Worse OMPARATIVE foot ball scores have always caused bewilder- ment and made good guessers look foolish. A point to be remem- bered in quoting score records, fur~ thermore, is that when one goes back to the time when a touchdown was made to count six points and a goal thereafter seven, records become even more confused. For example: Cornell _recently licked Princeton 33 to 0, figures which were widely quoted as being the worst beating the Tigers had ever received, surpassing the 1890 score made by Yale of 32 to 0. The lick- ing Princeton took from Yale back in the mauve decade was really worse, however. Yale made six touchdowns from which four goals were kicked. By modern scoring this would have totaled 40 points, surpassing Cornell's performance. TWO CUEISTS RATE HIGH Allen and Livsey Given Places in World Title Tournament.

THE LISTENING POST BY WALTER TRUM HE 10 prominent teams for & cinch bet tomorrow end proba- bly would include Yale, Tulane, Syracuse, Brown, Cornell, Col- gate, Princeton, Lafayette, Pittsburgh and Vanderbilt. ‘There is enough danger for an upset in that list to give an adversary a sporting chance. Still, most of those teams should win on Saturday. Foot ball games are not what they used to be. There was a time when, early in the season, you could say confidently, “well, which elevens do the Big Four massacre this week?” When some cutsider, such as Lafayette, inter- fered with this arrangement, it was al- most a national scandal. - , fans rush up to say ex- you see? Yale wasn't jed!” or “Look! Princeton only lost by 15 points.” Harvard and Pennsylvania, to be sure, are carrying on; but either one of them has a chance to be car- ried off in its next battle. Dartmouth | and Notre Dame are a couple of tough adversaries. There are a lot of good games this week. Southern California and Stan- ford is one: at least, Feg Murray and other Stanford men say it will be good. My own opinion is that Southern Cali- by my old friend Pop Warner round and round. = At _Columbus, Ohio State will strive to effect a further reduction in the . On form, Ohio looks much the ‘While the Navy is improving, playing Ohio and Notre Dame on suc- cessive Saturdays is scarcely the best manner in which to end a foot ball depression. That Northwestern-Minnesota game should be a thriller. H. G. Salsinger, who knows a foot ball player when he sees one, says that Riley and Marvil, the Northwestern tackles, are about the best pair in the conference, and that | the game doesn't grow any better backs than Rentner. Still, Minnesota has a rugged squad which should give a good account of itself. Washington and California should give each other plenty of exercise. California has done a lot better this season than many persons expected. Among the good games, from a spec- tator's viewpoint, should be those be- tween Alabama and Florida, Temple and Villanova, Wesleyan and Willilams, Georgetown and Bucknell, Washington- Jefferson and Marquette, Amherst and Trinity, Michigan and Indiana, Wis- consin and Illinois, Pittsburgh and Carnegie, Vanderbilt and Maryland and Fordham and Detroit. Harvard and Dartmouth, of course, will draw a crowd at Cambridge. The Crimson, with Dartmouth, Holy Cross and Yale ahead, is in no easy spot. It always regards the Yals game as the season’s chief objective, yet it will wish, if possible, to keep its record clear. The Blue, this year, has a good rest before meeting Harvard. The Crimson cer- tainly will not get much rest out of playing Dartmouth and Holy Cross. And New York University has no easy task ahead of it. Georgla and Fordham, on successive Saturdays, leave no time for loafing. (Copyright, 1931, by the North American fewspaper Alliance, Inc.) CHARITY BOUTS DELAYED Alexandria Show, Slated Monday, Off Until November 18. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 6— Officials in charge of the charity box- ing matches scheduled here Monday night for the Children’s Home and Day nursery have postponed the bouts until November 16, fearing that the arena under construction at Portner's old brewery would not be ready for the earlier date. The same program will be adhered to, with “Baker Boy” Billy Schwartz of Alexandria meeting Sammy Weiss of Philadelphia in the 10-round final go, and “Sallor” McKenna of Wash- ington and Bobby Burns of Baltimore stepping in the 8-round semi-wind-up. Mann is busy at work on a sup- porting card of preliminaries. Four 4-round matches will be billed with Marino Marini of Uniontown, Pa., and Nevin Barber, former District of Co- lumbia amateur lightweight champion, furnishing action in one of the mills. “K.

Irish All Power, Says Navy Coach NNAPOLIS, Md., November 6.— Johnny O'Brien, last year @ Notre Dame star, this season end coach at the Naval Academy, was an interested spectator at the Notre Dame-Carnegie Tech game last Saturday. Last year we were smoother,” O’Brien declared upon returning to Annapolis, “but season Notre Dame is & power team—all power— more power than any team ever seen at South Bend. They don't ‘bother much with deception or trick plays. When they feel a touchdown coming on their massive line begins opening up holes wide as the de- pression and the backs through. Starting almost anywhere in the fleld 10 to 15 plays is all they care to devote to a touchdown.” Navy plays Notre Dame in the Baltimore Stadium on November 14.
