which may decide the football
supremacy Of the far west and may
even have an important bearing ON

Eighty thousand people will crowd
into the Coliseum to view the annual
renewal of this classic Most of the
fans cvpert Stanford victory and
on this sentiment odds favored the
Cardinals, 10 to :, just before game

The reserve strength which Pop
Warner carries in his squad of II
men is the edge he carries over
Howard jones TrojaHs. This same
reserve strength possibly VIII take
stanford to the Pacific coast con
ference championship and possibly
to national championship.
Warner looks forward to taking
and undcfcatcd team against Army,
now regarded as the east 5 most
powerful eleven.
Today, for the first time since
the opening of the season, Southern
California viii be able to start with
its full strength.
Don Williams, Charlie Borcn,
jess llibhs and Harry Edclson, the
real kcynotcs Of 1.-THE Trojan Of
frnsc and defense, VIII be in their
regular positions.
All members of this quartet have
been on the injured list at various

CENTRAL UNION
READY TO FIGHT
BRAWLEY ELEVEN

Anxious to spring surprise and
upset the valley gridiron dope, Cen
tral Union s football ;cam left the
city 90 strong at noon today to in
wade Brawley territory and fight
the northerners to finish.
Figured as underdogs in the clash
with Brawley today, the boys were
displaying a remarkable lot of
"pep' as they prepared for battle
and if spirit counts for anything,
Rrawlcy will meet plenty of trouble
when they clash against the Central
squad.
Coach Armstrong team has been
working hard since last week, try
ing to make up the defects brought
out in their battle against Holt
willie iast week.
Although Il few of the players
went ON the crippled list as a result
of the clash with lIoltville, all were
back in dogs and plugging away in
the Thursday practice and looked
good III short signal workout yes
tcrday afternoon.
The Central team has met defeat
only once at the hands of Brawlcy
since 1921, that being the follow
ing year when Erawlcy managed to
sneak through with Il l3 to 0 win.
Many times Brawlcy has been fav-
orcd to whip Central but has never
succeeded since.
Last year Central was a slight
favoritc over Brawley but the north
crncrs spccdcd up and in both games
neither team WAS able to register Il
win, each ending with the score
dcadlockcd at six all.
The game today promises to be Il
lively one with Central stacking its
speed and fight against Il heavier
and more experienced eleven.

Europe has increased scarcely 10 per
cent in that time.
The charge that Our extraordinary
and admittedly abnormal achievement
in 19l5-1920 was but an unhampered
scramble for loot. for ill-gotten fruits
which would be dissipated at the first
sign of serious opposition, has been
completely repudiated. Our trade today
stands revealed, not as temporary ap-
partition. but as a solid. firmly founded
structure built upon sound principles,
not haphazard war rubble. 1t Is an
edifice of lasting quality erected out VI
materials inherently and essentially
American and, therefore. not in the
least impairipg the prospects for re-
covering Europe to restore her pre-war
commerce when. as. and if''--to quote
our insurance friends-she is in posi-
ton to carry on.
Speaking more concretely and specifi-
cally. our great advances since 1921
have not been, in the bulk, staples such
as cotton, oil, wheat tobacco. ETC.
whose trade prospects rest largely upon
the fortuitouS whimS of nature-crop
shortages or gluts, droughts or down.
pours. Our major gains have been in
the field OF fabricated wares and have
been attained through painstaking, eff
fort and through intelligent sales
strategy. These gains have not been
like the chance winnings of wartime
f1y-by-night spectators: they are the
result of careful. far-sighted planning
of a sort largely unknown in our pre-
war export effort except on the part of
small group of great corporations.
1t is true that the stage was set to
give special advantages to the peculiar
merits of American wares, but these ad-
vantages we're in no sense stolen from
the Old World They we're the results
Of utterly new conditions. which gave
rise to new wants that could be met only
from the more youthful, resilient. en-

anxiously feared by many Of our own
observers that the end of our wartime
monopoly of the trade routes was at
hand. According to these opinions. we
had. so to speak, been enjoying un-
l1ampered access to the lucrative market
places around the globe behind the
backs of the sadly distracted European
traders and now that the latter were
no longer spending their waning ener-
gies in the bloody conflict, we would
soon see the comfortable isolation of
our export activities rudely invaded
Europe would regain what was hers "by
ancient prerogative" and we would soon
be driven back to our pre-War status
as a poor second and in many major
markets even third-rate participant.
Indeed. the threat seemed serious, es-
pecially in view of the desperate straits
of the European nations. whose foreign
trade accounts for anywhere from so
to IS per cent of their commercial life,
in contrast with about 10 or at most II
per cent in our own case. Even more
ominous from the point Of view of the
American exporter was the formidable
advantage enjoyed by his European
rival because of the chaotic currency
depreciation in the Old World. which
reached it's nadir in 1922 with but 81
per cent of stability in the European
currencies.
What has actually transpired in the
intervening decade since the way has
been cleared for the return of the Euro
pean trader to his old haunts? The
situation can be summed up in one sem
tence. In the course of the ascent out
of the dark pit OF 1922. Americas
exports have increased slightly more
than 81 900 000.0 in value. giving us
l5.4 per cent of the worlds total export
trade in 1927. as compared with 1874
per cent in 1918. whereas the European
share is about 50 per cent at present as
against a pre-war percentage of 62.5.
With deductions for price changes. our
foreign trade today is some So per cent
above its 1913 level, whereas that of
