Golden Bears | BY KEN CUTHBERT ERKELEY, Cal Nov | D coach ndy” Smith's Go Bears upset all kinds of dope urday by tearing thru the Wash ington State Cougars for a 61 to 0 score. The teams were supposed to be evenly matched. This massacre put & somewhat different axpect on the coming California ve, Washington combat. Considering comparative scores, it would appear that the Bruins are to have an easy time with the Huskies. There are several facts, however, that tend to reduce their optimism. In the first piace, the Washing ton State eleven was badly crip- pled, ax two of thelr stars, McKae and Hickey, were unable to play. Hickey tried to take part during the first few minutes, but had to be removed, Many of the remain ing members of the team were suf. fering from minor injuries. The long trip from Pullman also. had its effect and slowed up the Cou- gars. In addition, California had the breaks and was playing in top form. Next Saturday it is California who will be away from home. A muddy field may put skids under the Bear attack. Plenty of atmilar disadvantages loom as possible. Con- |wequently, the Blue and Gold still |looks upon the Washington game as the hardest of the season—and the Northerners have a chance to win. But none of us around Berkeley would give a Russian ruble for that chance. The Bear combination cer tainly did look pretty. The biggest | reason for the W. 8. C. burial was | the power of the California machine. |It ripped up and down the field with almost automatic precision The Cougars looked pitiful. The Bat | California backs and substitute backs were positively mean to them. “Morry” Morrison, — the “Iron Duke,” made himself par ticularly disagreeable by scoring 18 points, Nisbet, who incidentally showed up the famed Dunton tn punting, accounted for 18 more. Spalding and Nichols, the regular haifbacks, each made 6, so did Dunn, so did Newman, so did Burgess, all of whom went in as substitute half. backs. “Andy” used 10 backfield men in all. W. 8. C. will probably tell you they were all in at once. Every man on the California squad ex- cept Berkey, regular end, who was hurt in practice, got into the game at one time or other. In the passing attack alone did the Bears show wenkness.

Bender had fine success there with New Haven. But he hasn't been able to get by this year with Reading in the International league, Ed Barney made a pretty nobby pinch hitting record this spring with Seattle, but the veteran Sherwood Magee hung up a real record with Minne- apolls this summer, He batted times, hit two homers, a single, was hit by pitched balls four times and walked 11 times, times in 20! Cincinnati is dickering for Buss Arlett, giant Oakland hurler. With an inferior club Arlett won a lot more games than he lost this year. He has the stuff and the experience to make a good piteher for the Reds, Pinelli, Bohne, Couch and Fonseca, former Coasters with Cin cinnati, have all recommended Ar lett to the Red owners.

HEN Chuck Palmer of North- western ran 102 yards after re- covering a fumble in the game with Minnesota, the clam was advanced that he had tied a football record of long standing. It was an error, The football records credit McCaa of Tafayette and Boynton of Wil- Hames with runs of 110 yards. McCaa made his run against Swarthmore tn 1909, while Boynton performed his against Hamilton in 1920. Palmor’s run enabled Northwestern to get a 7-to-7 tle with Minnesota, the first big upset of the year in western football HONTRE versus Washington and Lee. That game ts already at- tracting much attention tn the South. The meeting of these two great teams will be staged at Louisville, Ky., on Nov. 11 Centre, by its great showing against Harvard, is conceded to have another wonder team. After being scored on three times in the first period, largely because the breaks favored the Crimson, Centre came back and outplayed Harvard the rest of the game. Washington and Lee showed tts strenath In the game with West Virginia by holding that team to a 12-to-12 te. West Virginia had previously defeated Pittsburg, 9 to 6, the first time such a feat had been accomplished tn 20 years by a West Vireinia team.
