LOS ANGELES, Nov 25 lP)-Uni-
verSity of California at Los Angeles
tomorrow will make bid for prestige
before it's entrance into the Pacific
coast conference next year, when the
Bruin football eleven meets Drake uni
versity of Des Moines, Iowa, in an
intersectional contest. Coach Bill
Spaulding tonight had his gridders
primed for, the biggest athletic under
taking yet attempted by the local
state school.
The middle westerners, led by Coach
Ossie Solem, had not arrived at the
scene of battle preferring to remain
at a mountain resort near San Ser

Experience gained through compaCs
with some of the nations leading
elevens, including Pittsburgh, Mime

pected to hrow an advantage toward
the Bulldogs from Iowa. U. G. L. A.,
although beaten but once this season,
has not engaged in any competltlon
approaching the calibre of brakes OPP
ponents. Although the Bruins con-
cluded their last season in the SOUTH
ern California conference without a
defeat, Pomona college won the title
by reason, of playing more games Than
Spauldings eleven. The Bruins
therefore, will enter the coast body
without ever having finished on top

ARMY FAVORITE
WITH BETTORS
TO BEAT NAV Y

NEW YORK, Nov. 25, tP-A
powerful, seasoned squad of football
stalwarts in Army gray and younger
band in the Navys blue encamped to-
night on the outskirts of this city
in readiness for their thirteenth an
nual private fight" at the Polo
Grounds tomorrow.
Legions and battalions Of sup
porterS drawn by the prospect of one
of the most colorful sectacles III
sport, meanwhile, were converging
on the city and taking it by, storm.
OF the estimated 100000 persons who
sought seats for the service game
this year only. 10000 can be serveo
and tickets were reported as selling
from $75 to $3.50 in the Sub-roSa
marts along Broadway
Although far from matching the
gigantic spectacle at Soldier Field,
Chicago, last fall, tomorroW'S battle
will rank with the most colorful of
these service classics. President Cool
idge will not attend, but Secretaries
Davis and Wilbur will be there TO
represent the rival war and navy
establishments, along with scores OF
high service officials, and prominent
figures in national, state and city
life.
On it's record of only one defeat this
year and that at the hands of Yale,
veterans of last year 81 to 81 tie,
the army ruled decided favorite.
Odds which at one time were quoted
at 2 to /, however, showed a ten
dency to shrink.
Comparative scores of the games
played against Notre Dame-the
only opponent met this season by
both elevens-added to the paper
margin in favor of the army team
While the navy was trampled by
the light cavalry of Notre Dame by
a 19 to. score in it's third game
of the season, the army astounded
the dopeSters Just two. Saturdays
ago by spilling the same mighty
eleven, 18 to 0.
Army's defeat by Yale and the
setbacks of the navy by Notre Dame
and Michigan, will rob the 1927
classic of any championship bear
ing. but can take away none Of the
glamor of this service fray, which
rings down the curtain upon the
eastern football campaign.
While Navy's attack is built fol
the most part around Fullback
whitley Lloyd, who weighs close tc
200, the army backfield has three
big guns with Wilson and eagle
leading the running attack and Muir
rell doing howitzer duty against
the line.
/ Both teams put in workouts this
afternoon, but the cadets alone hac
their drill at the Polo grounds. Il
was a secret practice, even news
papermen being barred, but after
wards Head Coach Lawrence "Blff'
Jones declared it consisted only ol
light work and signal practice.

To SEEK.
RECOGNITION !.

A new drive to secure American
recognition of the Soviet govern.
ment of Russia probably will be
launched in Congress this fall,
though without much hope for sue
cess, it was learned here today.
The unofficial American Trade
Union delegation, which recently
visited Russia for a month, undoubt.
edly will launch the drive by pub
licly recommending recognition.
Fuel win be added the drive by
members of Congress who spent a
part of the recess in visiting the
Asiatic republic.
Senator Millard r. Tydings I'D Of
Maryland, who made an exhaustive
investigation of Russian conditions
during the summer, will report his
observations to the Senate.
'The importance of recognition Is
very much exaggerated, said
Tydings. 1.-THE future of Russia de.
pends more upon the conduct of her
own people than on the attitude Of
other countries. For my part. | am
perfectly willing to let conditions
rest until we see what is best for
our own people and the people of
Russia"
The chief proponent of Russian
recognition has been Senator viii.
liam p. Borah R.l of Idaho. He
urged the United States to recognize
the Soviets in order to re-establish
friendly trade between the two
peoples.

FOR RUTH


More kind words for Mrs. Ruth

slayer. Two new letters are printed
today condemning capital punish
ment and expressing sympathy for
the woman who now faces the cleo
trio chair.
Madeline Brooke writes to take
issue with Mrs. Alfred e. Johnson,
jr., the mother of three, whose re.
cent letter expressing the wish
that Mrs. Snyder and Judd Gray
be executed, has aroused much dis
cussion, Miss Brooke writes:
~ must condemn the superficial
sentiment Of Mrs. Johnson, who
can look no further than her own
doorway. What does she know Of
the influences that surrounded the
little girl who went down into the
maelstrom of New York at the age
of thirtee-.?
Woman What Man Makes Her
What does she know Of the life
behind the Snyder door? A woman
IL what q man makes her, and
Heaven or He'll is the result.
What was there lacking in the
makeup Of Mrs. Snyder that she
was unable to endure her Hell. as
so many women have endured
theirs before for the sake Of their
children and their God?
Indeed, were 1t not that women
are attuned to the spirit of an.
gels, there would be many Albert
Snyders afraid to go to sleep at
night. The life of woman down
through the ages has been one of
infinite patience and long suffer
ing.
Some day science win discover
the real cause Of crime-the men,
tai twist or the physical defect
and in the meantime let US have
no capital punishment.

punishment comes from Daily
