L. T. Elliott, varsity left end Of the
Navy foot ball team, will be out of the
game for at least two weeks as a
result of injuries sustained against
Ohio State last Saturday.
All the Tar regulars except George
Underwood, guard, are considerably

The first and second teams did no

afternoon surveying his next years
prospects on the remainder Of the
SQUAD. Actual practice for the Navy
eleven will not begin until Wednesday,
today being used for a cross-country
hike.
The coaching staff is far from dis

Ohio State. According to Miller, the
game was simply a case OF the Navy
team being overpowered and out

TROJANS TO PLAY
ROSE BOWL GAME
Northwestern, Cornell, Tu-
lane, Tennessee, Georgia
May Oppose in Benefit

BY the Associated Press.
ASADENA, Calf, November TO-
- University of Southern Cali
fornia's Trojans, with the Pa
cif1c Coast Conference title al
most won, have been selected to Shout
der the burden Of the West in the sew
enteenth annual Rose Tournament foot
ball game here January l.
While no official statement was forth
coming from the university it was con-
played fer charity. Dr. Rufus B. Won
KleinSmid said earlier in the season
that the Tfpjans were eager to play
for the benefit of the unemployed.
Selection of an opponent, which
probably will not come until the sched-
ules OF the leading teams East Of the
Mississippi have run their course, is
left entirely to the Western school.
Five teams, however, stand the best
chance of receiving this invitation. it
was officially said. The five are North
western, Cornell, Tulane, Tennessee and
Georgia.
Should a team from the South be
chosen, it will be the fifth team in the
last seven years that an eleven from be-
low the Mason and Dixon line has par
ticipated in the intersectional classic.
In that time the Southerners have won
three contests and tied the other one,
leaving the coast standard bearers bar
rem of victories.
But the count stands in favor of the
West with other Eastern opponents
Since Brown played Washington State
in the first official game, back in 1916,
losing. IA to O, the West has won six
games lost two and tied two.
The Trojans must defeat Montana at
Los Angeles Saturday and Washington
at the same site December S to win the
coast championship. They will finish
with no less than tie, however, If they
lose one o. She games.

why bring that up? Tech is going to

on its schedule and call it a season"
There you have in his own words
the reaction of Hap Hardell, Tech
coach, to the opinion of some followers
of high school foot ball who claim that
the rejuvenated Western team could, if
given another crack at Tech, wipe out
that 800 beating the GeorgetownerS
took from the Gray earlier in the series.
How about taking on Gonzaga,
Hap?" we asked. You know some
people figure it could give Tech real
fight this year"
Maybe so, but Tech Is playing only
those three games. We licked Gonzaga
last year, 81 to 0, think 1t was.
They've got a better team, hear, but
1 believe we could trim 'em again. But
what difference does that make. Tech
will play only three more games"
Hap, by the way, is not willing to
admit that the 1881 Tech eleven Is
not as good as last years team.
Wait until the Eastern and Business
games are over, then maybe I can tell
you. We may be beaten in one Of those
games, might even lose 'em both. You
know Babe Ruth once struckout three
times in one game" Remember, too,
that we'll be playing Eastern and Busi-
ness within five days of each other.
Tech this year though, is better
defensive team than last year. In the
backfleld we haven't any flaShy ball
carriers like AL Richman, but We have
some pillow horses. They may get tangled
up sometime. but they've been able to
do fairly well. I'm satisfied with the
team"

Knox had been inscribed.
Instead, Knox triumphed, Z to o,

the tombstone from its float on the
way to the station.
