Big Matches This Week.

Several matches are listed this week
which should attract interest. wednes-
day the Royals meet the Palace team
at the Palace, in the National Capital
League, with hopes of Increasing their
record-breaking string Of straight
wins from % to 81.
Thursday the Grand Centrals clash
with the IngIesides at the Grand Cen

result in some big scores and close

FOIweH CONFIDENT.

The coach goes further and pre-
diets a Pennsylvania victory.
81 will go as far as to say" he con
tinued, that Pennsylvania will win
tomorrow's game. We are going 10
put a team on the field that won't be
licked, and consequently can't be
licked. 1t will be a team Of gentle
men, and they will play a gentleman's
game of football. That is the strong
est statement that 1 have made this
year."
Coach Bezdek, of Oregon, is a man
of few words, who hates tomake pre-
dictions, and always prophesies de-
feat. Before the game with Califor-
mia, which Oregon won 81 to II, he
said: wen hardly give'California a
good workout" Today he said: 81
would be foolish to predict victory.
All the experts-Doble, Dpal, Rhein-
schild-predict overdefeat. I'll tell
you whether we win or not after the
game" Bezdek is a born pessimist.

Both Stevens Ready.

Both coaches are sending their foot
ball juggernauts into the game with
out an excuse. Pennsylvania is in
excellent condition. The only regular
missing from the Eastern lineup is
Urquhart, an end, but Coach Folwell
says that Crane is. perfectly compe-
tent to fill the missing ones shoes.
Oregon is in the best condition of
the season. Bill Hayward, the train
er, thinks that his men are in. as fine
fighting trim as when they met and
defeated Washington State. and in
better shape than for any other game
Of the year.
Last week several rumors were cur
rent that the Fasteners were not
keeping training, and were looking
forward to the game as a huge joke.
These rufnors are branded as false by
the players who were said to have
broken rules. Coach Folwell said:
Eyes, have heard reports that my
team Is not in fighting trim, and /
want to kill those rumors here and
now"

If Oregon defeats Penn today at
Pasadena's Tournament of Roses
listen to the old seem-saw arguments
about the relative values of Eastern
and Western football. Penn, coached
by Bob Eolweli, plays typical Eastern
football. Oregon, coached by Bezdek,
former star fullback at Chicago Uni
versity, plays Western football. This
argument started, as far as can be
recalled, when Hurry Up" Yost's
wonderful Michigan scoring ma
chimes began running wild And yet,
in most of their contests with East
ern elevens, the Michigan teams have
not done so we'll. Few Western teams,
barring Michigan, have played
enough football in the East to war
rant their comparison with the sea
board teams, but II is a topic always
interesting and so the Penn-Oregon
game is sure to start a lively argu-
ment.
