PHOENIX RACE
STARTS TODAY
Neither Size nor Power of Car
but Driving Ability
will Win
WORLDS GREATEST RACE
Every Condition of Road Must Be
Met for Any Car
to Win
Ids GREATEST RACE

At 1886 tonight fourteen speed mon
sters that will stand for a child's pet
ting when standing STILL but defy
whole army of locomotives when in
action, will whisk away from in front
of the Hollenbeck hotel on the road
to Phoenix-for it is the beginning OF
the great sprint across the almost
trackless desert that eventually will
be a boulevard between the capital OF
Southern California and the, capital of
Arizona. Everything shapes itself to
the needs of the nation, and Los An
geles as the capital of a sister state
extends it's hands to Phoenix.
Up and down the "auto" Rialto this
week not a note has been heard but
the probable" winner in the Los An
geles-Phoenix race that starts fom the
Hollenbeck tonight.
The betting on position; the betting
on time; the betting on the winner
has been keeping the bunch awake.
It is the oldest race that has ever
been run in the United States, for 1T
is more than an endurance contest; it
is more than a speed contest; it Is
race that is absolutely to the car and
man who wins. No road on the ex~
tended course can be followed twice.
1t is all easy enough to the Bad
lands; but what from there? No
car has ever yet followed in the trails
of it's predecessors, for the lava foun-
dation of the road precludes this pos
sibility. Every car in the contest has
been over the course, but who Of the
drivers will tell you of the terrors of
the BLACK canyon" where no two
cars ever make the same track?
1t is understood that there is a big
betting pool on the outcome of this
race, but the race is not going to be
to the fastest or the strongest car, but
1t is going to be given to the driver
who has had the foresight to offset
the typographical advantages of the
course.
In front of the Hollenbeck tonight
will be gathered fourteen racing cars
to compete in the greatest real prize
ever offered for automobile perform
ance. Look at the cars and drivers
and pick your choice. Should the auto
editor of The Herald venture a IA
vorite it could only be a certain car,
with an admonition that the dark
horse may win"

INTERCITY HOCKEY LEAGUE
CONTEMPLATED IN EAST

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Representa-
tives of hockey teams in Chicago, Bos-
ton, Cleveland and New York are
meeting in this city, comforting with
the executive committee of the Anna
teur Hockey league in regard to the
proposed formation of an intercity
hockey league.
1t has been practically decided that
such a league would be profitable pro-
vided enough public interest can be
awakened in points outside of New
York. The promoters believe that it
is too late, however, to launch the
league formally for the coming winter,
and the plans therefore will look to it's
establishment beginning with the
season of 1911-12.
But the scheme will receive a pre-
liminary tryout this winter. Each
team of the Amateur Hockey league
will make one visit in Chicago, Cleve-
land and Boston during the winter. If
the interest in the out-of-town con-
tests warrants, the formation of the
big intercity league next year will be
assured,

AGOG OVER CAME
Meeting of U. S. C. and 0Xy viii
Attract Many Foot
ball Enthusiasts

With both elevens on edge and
trained to the minute for the biggest
game of the season, the u. S. C.-Occi-
dental gridiron struggle on Bovard
field this afternoon is awaited with in
terest by the supporters of both teams
and the local football public. The
Methodist Tiger battle should prove
the class of the Southern California
gridiron season, and as such will be
attended by the biggest crowd of pig
skin enthusiasts that Bovard field has
ever held. The advance sale OF 2OOO
seats promises this.
The action of the local branch of the
A. A. u. last night in refusing to re-
consider its action of wednesday
night which declared Bill Hatch, the
crack Wesleyan tackle, ineligible and
placing him on the suspended list for
three months, has spread more gloom
through the Cromwell campAbut in
spite of this the more hopeful Meth
odist supporters are still predicting a
victory for their team, although ad-
mittting that the score may not be as
large as it might have been if Hatch
were allowed to play. Who will be
delegated to occupy his place will not
be known until the team trots on the
we'll has not yet decided upon a SUB
stitute.
Realizing that they have a chance
to make Southern California football
history In trimming the CromWellians,
which feat they have never accom-
plished on Bovard field, the Tigers Will
go into the game to put up the battle
Of their lives. Coach Wieman has
done all in his power to instill cham
pionship ability into his men, realizing
that his reputation is at stake, and II
the Tigers claw the Methodists into
submission "Ink' will be fully vindi-
Gated, as his squad has been handl-
capped from the start by injuries OF
more or less seriousness to the stars
Of his team. Neither eleven will lack
supporters, as practically the entire
student bodies of both institutions VIII
be on hand to root for their respective
teams. College enthusiasm of a high
degree will be on tap, and If this kind
of support can win games both teams
should be returned victorious.
Boyard field is in excellent shape for
the game, and barring possible rains,
will be fast, promising some first class
gridiron sport.
The game will start at 2 o'clock and
the following lineups have been an
u. S. Chill, left end; stookey, left
tackle; Malcolm, left guard; Allen,
center; Miller, right guard; Hatch 60,
right tackle; Hummel, right end; Conn,
