LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.-THE
fireside football season has started
tu,l sway in Southern California con
ference circles as the grid togs of
that college loop nestle amid moth
balls in locker room corners await
ing the 1923 call into action.
The conference will present diff
ferent complexion next season with
the University of California at Los
Angeles Bruins absent from the fold
in search of laurels in the Pacific
coast conference.
While the Bruin schedule for 1923
has not been announced it is thought
certain that such games as the Po-
mona, Occidental and California
Tech contests, dear to Southern
California gridiron competition, will
be retained although the results will
not figure in the percentage col
umns.
Pomona, this year s conference
champion, Occidental, the season $
"hardluck team, and Whittier,
whose late squirt caused a sport SER
ksadten, are figured Likely scshrehd0fs
For next season s banner.
Pomona, unlike this season s start,
V i'll present a practically intact line
to Coach Eugene Nixon although
Archibald, star center, will be miss
ing. From the stellar backfieid
"Poke' Hartman, Sophomore star,
and Lee Williams, fullback, will re-
turn. Harold Merit, the team IS
defensive ace, and Captain Jack
Manildi, best field general in the
conference will be graduated.
Coach George Philbrook at Whit
tier will lose the "grandest poet oce
them ALL Captain coax" Pendle
ton, who ran circles around any con-
ference back this season with the ex-
ception of Hartman at Pomona and
Joe Fleming of the Bruins.
Hunnicutt and Perry, ends, and
Kimmell, tackle, will be the other
absentees at Whittier.
Seventeen Tiger letter men will re-
turn to Occidental giving that
school excellent prospects to medi-
tate on during the winter months.
George Fusco, fullback; Al Clayes,
Lalfback, Norman Smith, sub gun
ter, and four linesmen including
Phil Cuthbert, tackle; Klein, center,
and Nash, guard, are lost.
Cox Stanton, mentor at Cali
fornia Tech is probably hardest hit
of any of the football teachers.
Practically his entire line will take
the sheepskims in June, leaving him
an experienced backfield to operate
behind a forward wall that must
come from this years subs and
freshmen. Elmer Muff, halfback, is
/, 1928 captain.
San Diego, La Verne and Red
lands suffer average losses by gradu-
alton according to present indica-
tons.
