WESTERN GRID
TEAMS TO face
CRUCIAL GAMES

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81 %
Powerful gridiron elevens camped to-
night before the strongholds Oh
worthy opponents for games tomorrow
when Pacific coast conference cham
pionship hopes may be dashed for
four undefeated contenders.
Washington and Washington State,
traditional rivals and both boasting
clean conference states, marked time
at Seattle. The annual classic for
honors of the northern state this
season finds the two teams closely
matched with prospects of a great
battle
The Cardinals of Stanford, last
years champions, carried their 1927
ambitions into another northern sec
tor Portland-with the Oregon Ag-
giess threatening to furnish opposition
as stiff as any this season. Despite
slight edge conceded Stanford by
many critics, followers of o, A. C.
were confident, their hopes bolstered
by the return of two veteran back
field men to the northern squad.
Two weeks ago the Aggies held Uni-
versity of Southern California to a
one point margin victory while last
week U. S. G. and Stanford battled
to g. tie.
Idaho, undefeated but tied once
in the conference race, saw chance
to recover prestige at the expense
of the Montana Grizzlies, already
staggering under two successive de-
feats.
California, remaining at home, pre-
pared for titanic struggle with the
Olympic club and its group Of stars
that answer such names as Morton
Kaer, Cowboy" Nick Kutsch, Lloyd
Yoder-AlI-American luninaries last
year. Two years ago the club team
gave California its first defeat in
five and one half years and some
close observers saw chances for an
other O. c. victory tomorrow, espe-
cially with Coach Prices announce
ment that he intended to play many
second string men in the game. The
move is planned to conserve CALI
fornia's strength for the Z. S. C.
clash week later.
At Los Angeles the Troians of
University of Southern California
were ready for an easy ron1p with
California Tech. Reports from the
south indicated Coach Howard Jones
was prepared to emulate Coach
Prices example in using second and
third string men against the weaker
Tech eleven.
In far western conference, game,
st. Mary's and Nevada clash at San
Francisco with the former greatly
favored to send the Wolf Pack back
to Reno on the short end of the
score.

What Does 1t Matter?

WndL Does IL MdGberE
The rival major leagues are keen
for winning the world series. The
magnates seem to think that the
title of world champions adds much
to the prestige of the victorious
league.
That may or may not be true
have always been of the opinion
that the fans. while much interested
in the series as an outstanding sports
event, soon forget all about the
winner
In other words, have always
had my doubts as to whether or
not it meant great deal at the
gate for league to boast the world
champions. 1 am positive it means
far more to have colorful star like
Ruth as a magnet to pack them in.
=
Yet, can see why the Amer
ican league magnates were more
than anxious that the New York
Yankees beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Was Glass of League
New York, champions of the Amer
ican league almost from the start Of
the season, had outclassed the rest
of the field. After July 4 it was
merely who else would finish in the
first division to trail the Yankees.
In capturing the American league
pennant. New York set q new record
for victories in the organization by
winning 110 ball games. : only once
during the season was the club shut
out. Never did it lose more than
four games in row.
Washington, Philadelphia and De-
troit are mighty good ball clubs.
Chicago wasn't bad ball club. a st.
Louis and Cleveland were fair and
Boston promising. However, the
Yanks distanced the other seven.
Most American league managers
expressed the belief that New
York should be in a league all
by itself. In some quarters this
was taken as an alibi.
Critics Belittled Yanks
The experts in doping the world
series outcome in the 1927 classic,
particularly those who had leaning
toward the National league rather
discounted the strength of the
Yankees on the theory that the rest
of the league was below standard,
New York is good club, but
not super club, as the record
would make one believe Its, great
showing has been made possible by
the weakness of the other clubs.''
That was the consensus of the
critics who favored the chances of
the Pirates to beat the Yankees and
sought reason to explain their
belief
The opinion generally held was
that the Pirates had won pen
nant in league that was far
better balanced than the Ameri-
can
Tribute to Game
Such a condition explains why the
American league rnagnates probably
pulled harder for victory this year
than at any time since the world
series was inaugurated.
If Pittsburgh should outclass the
Yankees in the world series, decide
IL IN TOUR or i've games, 1t would
make the American league look like
a minor organization. 1t would make
all the complimentary things said
about the Yankees sound like mere
piffle.
That New York should trounce the
Pirates in four straight games bears
out the contention of the American
league managers that New York is a
super team and should play in a |
league by its lonesome.
II am sure the seven other man
ayers in the National league, aside
from DOME Bush, can now appreciate |
what we are up against in playing
the Yankees all summer. Those babies |
are sure tough" was the way George
Mcriarty, manager of the Detroit
Tigers nllt it
