ARE TWO STRONGEST TEAMS
on PACIFIC COAST
Critics believe Tint To-day win

Championship and Team WhicI,

Again University Of Pennsylvania

United Press Service
sAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-As the
referees whistles start five inter-
collegiate games on the Pacific coast
this afternoon. interest is centered
on TIE struggle on the University OF
Oregon's campus. The clash between
Oregon and Washington is by far the
most important game Of the year. as
4 Is conceded that between these
teams the title OF aPcific coast cham
piOns rests. Today's game, though
far from the end of the season. will
virtually decide the championship.
Oregon's men, in their few appear
ances this season, have shown ex-
ceptional form, and style OF attack
that sweeps their opponents of their
feet. The Washingt6nians have SO
long been accustomed to winning
championships that the creation OF
new plays and development of fast
talent has become hobby there. and
this years team will measure up
with any Dobie has trained.
Thus far, both Oregon and Wash
ington have used only straight foot
ball. Bezdek fearing to uncork any
thing new lest Dobie learn of 1t and
create a defense to Offset 1t, and
Dobie has been equally secretive.
Today. however. the best men on the
coast are arrayed against each other,
and the quarter-backs are prepared
to spring all of the new formations
created by the two noted coaches.
The governors OF Washington and
Oregon are in attendance. The at
tendance is the greatest ever turned
out for an athletic event at Eugene.
and all parts OF the Northwest are
represented in the crowd.
California is playing its first game
away from Berkeley today. and the
students OF southern California u.
count on winning. although the
dope" is against them. The south
erners hope to Offset the California
teams superior weight by fast wide
open plays. They will also count on
Ave fast men to carry these out, the
linemen seeking to confuse the Bears
rather than attempt to hold their
heavy line back.
As California has been using Sharp
for nearly all gains. Coach Cromwell
hgures his feet runners. by varying
their runners. can overcome the Cali
fOrnit resistance. However. he ad-
mits that he Ia hopeful. only. and by
no means sure of winning from the
northern eleven. which makes up In
fight what It may lack in football
strategy.

appeared to be an electric blower, such as the
Greeks use to dry your shoes with. The text

like the picture without going through un-

The actual work was left to the generators
