TO
STAR TOMORROW
IN GRID GAMES
BY earle ii. BENNETT
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. U.P)-
The safest prediction for football
on the Pacific Coast tomorrow
seems to be that most of the stars
in three outstanding games will be
| Californians.
This does not mean that UniVer-
sity Of Southern California is Ger
tain to take University of Oregon,
Stanford is a cinch to beat Oregon
State, or that University of Califor-
mia is a favorite over Washington
State college
The fact is that among the varsity
players and reserves at Oregon,
Oregon State and Washington State
are enough men whose homes are
in California to make four separate
elevenS. In the past these athletes
who have gone out of their home
state to obtain a higher education
have often run circles around their
former classmates who decided to
attend U. S. c., Stanford and Cali
fornia.
Each Of the northern teams has a
psychological advantage in that
their players are fighting with their
backs to the wall. They are lead
ers in the Pacific northwest and
the hopes of that section for an
other conference championship de-
pend entirely upon their showing
Saturday.
University of Oregon invaded Los
Angeles today as one of the few re-
naming teams undefeated on the
Pacific coast. The LAUNDERING
Herd" of U. S. C. has already
blasted the desire of Oregon State
and Washington State to go
through the season without defeat.
The Trojans beat Oregon State. 30
0, and Washington State, 1876.
Oregon men face this formidable
foe boldly, heartened by a 1870 win
over University of Washington last
Saturday and a 90 victory over
Idaho. 1t is hard for many to un-
derstand how Oregon has chance
to stop the u. S. c. landslide that
broke loose after st. Marys of Mo-
raga defeated the Trojans, 13 to Z.
in an opening game. This pessimism
/ is not shared by the Oregon play
ers, who meet U. S. C. for the first
time in IL years, or their coach.
Doc" Spears, who has never before
matched wits with Coach Howard
Jones of Southern California.
Future Bright
The immediate future is brighter
! for Washington State, winner of
the title last year. and Oregon state.
heaviest team in the circuit. Wash
ington State is favorite to beat CAL
ifornia at Portland and the game
at Palo Alto between Stanford and
/ Oregon State may go either way.
California has been slow to start
under the new coach, Navy Bill"
Ingram, and Washington State is
undoubtedly better prepared for the
conflict. Ingram has made certain
that the possibility of rain in Port
land does not hurt what chances
he has by flooding the Berkeley
practice field and making his boys
handle slippery ball. The Bears
! have defense that should prevent
heavy scoring by w. s. c.. but their
offensive punch is still questionable.

MIDDLE WEST TO
SEE NUMBER OF
GOOD CONTESTS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 16. UP)-Crowds
totalling more than 100000 will see
the seven football games played to-
morrow in the middlewest by Big
Ten teams and Notre Dame.
Three Big Ten games, two of
which may go a long way toward
determining the conference cham
pionship, two intersectional battles
and a pair of sectional contests are
on the list.
The schedule follows:
Michigan VS.. Ohio State at Ann
Arbor. "a
Illinois VS.. Bradley at Urbana.
Wisconsin VS.. Purdue at Madison.
Yale VS.. Chicago at Chicago.
Northwestern vs. U. c. L. A. at
Evanston.
Notre Dame VS.. Drake at South
Bend
Indiana VS.. Iowa at Iowa City.
The three games commanding the
most interest are the Michigan
Ohio State, Wisconsin, Purdue and
Yale-Chicago skirmishes. Indica-
tionS are that Michigan and Pur-
due, co-favorites with Northwestern
for the Big Ten title, will be extend
ed to the limit by their respective
opponents. It's no worse than an
even bet that either Michigan or
Purdue will be upset tomorrow.
Chicago's small but brave football
squad will attempt to crown Coach
a. A. Stages 40th anniversary as
Maroons' athletic director and coach
with a victory over "the grand old
mans" alma mater in Yale's first
invasion of the middlewest.
Chicago Improved
Chicago was not better than 20
shot to win 10 days ago, but the
Maroons' great showing against Mi
chigan last week and Yale's defeat
at the hands of Georgia have i'm
bued the Maroons with a deter
mined spirit they have not known
in years.
Another intersectional game of
more than ordinary Importance will
see Northwestern in action against
a Pacific Coast team for the first
time when the Wildcats clash with
the University of California CLOS
Angeles. Himself a product OF
west coast football, Coach Dick
Hanley has full respect for the in
vaders and will send his full
strength into the fray.
Notre Dame will make its first
appearance of the season at South
Bend against Drake, using a modi-
fled form of the Rockne system. 1t
will be the first time the Irish have

CENTRAL union
TEAM GLAD FOR
WEEK OF REST

Coming at the strategic time, a
weeks rest in preparation for the
game with Brawley at Brawley Oc-
tober 90 has given the Central
Union High School football team a
chance to get in badly needed prac-
tice in scrimmage, blocking and
tackling
In quite a number of the players
a great improvement has already
been noted. Coach Armstrong is
jubilant over development shown in
reserve strength of his team.
Since the high school faces no
game this week, work more strenu
Gus than would c.-lerrISe have been
the case has been the lot of the
gridders.
Individual blocking and offensive
play have been the most important
items on the high school menu. A
hard scrimmage has been part of
the program each day. The feature
of these scrimmages has been the
good showing of the reserve line
men.
The three cripples, Butler, West
and Templeton, have been out of
practice but as yet have not been
put into scrimmage. West and But
Ter definitely will get into tho
Brawley game, but some doubt is
felt whether Templeton will be able
to play. The rest of the team will
be in the best of shape.
High school students and other
hackers of the local team already
are planning to motor to Brawlev
for the game next Friday night. A
large crowd is expected.

OREGON COLORED
STAR DECLARED
TO BE- INELIGIBLE
BY JAMES S. SHEERY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. l6 U.P)-
In a tense, dramatic five-hour ses-
sion, Joe Lillard, sensational Ore
gon negro halfback, was declared
ineligible by faculty representatives
of the Pacific Coast conference ear
ly today.
The ban is effective Immediately

ineligibility, however, will not affect

EXCESS COTTON
NOT TO BE SOLD
Farm Board To Hold Sta
bilization Staple Until
New Policy Is Announc-
ed.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Assurance
was given today by Carl Williams,
cotton member of the Farm Board,
hat no sterilization cotton would be
offered for sale pending announce
ment of a definite policy for handling
the surplus during the new crop year
beginning August l.
The new policy now is in prepare
ton. Williams said he was uncertain
when it would be ready for publica-
ton.
A year ago the board promised not
to sell in competition with free cot
ton for one year. That pledge expires
tomorrow, and considerable interest
has been expressed as to the nature Of
its new policy.
The cotton sterilization corporation
bought 100000 bales of cotton from
the 1929 crop to maintain falling pric-
es. 1t is being stored at a cost of 81
a bale per year.
Williams revealed that loans out
standing on July l to cotton coop
eratives and the sterilization corpora
ton amounted to sly, 100000. Thi:
amount, however, does not nearly rep
resent the actual cost of sterilization
onerarion since volume of the. f.
ENG was doAe rhrouabisserihes
date credit banks.
He estimated that, the cotton at
present prices was worth less than $50
a bale, a figure considerably under the
price paid for it.
Three southern cotton exchanges
Savannah, Little Rock and Memphis
have requested the board to announce
a e policy for the coming year to
remove any possible uncertainty in fu-
ture trading operations. Williams said
there has been no general demand or
pressure brought to bear on the board
from cotton traders as was true in the
case of wheat dealers and growers.
The board, Williams said, probably
will send a representative to the con-
ference of governors of cotton states
called by Governor Sterling of Texas
for next Tuesday to consider means
of reducing cotton acreage and sur
plus.
