ford and Southern California light the
fuse of their sensational rivalry.
This clash between Cardinal and
Trojan, between the coaching systems
of Pop Warner and Howard Jones, not
only figures to decide the championship
of the Pacific Coast, but to have
vital bearing upon the National title
situation.
Both elevens have their eyes focused
on this twin goal as well as on each
other. Southern California takes on
Notre Dame and Carnegie Tech later
as part of its drive for national honors.
Stamford winds up its season by enter

on the championship situation.
The Crimson's unmistakable power,
demonstrated in tying Army after eagle

Dartmouth. Harvard, however, will find

Notre Dame, gathering Roadway in its

and Wisconsin in succession, runs into
the rugged Carnegie eleven at Pitts
