FAVOR TROJANS
OVER OREGON

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.-Un-
less the collegiate dope bucket un-
dergoes a swift and unexpected
kick, this week in Pacific Coast
football circles is a lull between
two great storms.
The University Of Southern
California plays Oregon State
College at Portland, Ore, tomor-
row and should snare its twenty
sixth consecutive victory without
much difficulty.
Last weeks gridiron storm cen.
tered here when U. S. C. defeated
st. Mary'S, and next weeks ma
jor disturbance will be at Berke-
ley when U. S. C. plays the Uni
versity of California, which like
wise defeated st. Mary's.
Next in Importance to the Tro-
jan-Oregon clash tomorrow is the
game at Pullman, Wash, between
Washington State College and
the University of California.
Other games: Stanford should
beat the University of San Fran
cisco: Coach James Phelan'S
Washington University team,
beaten Go last week by Oregon,
will romp with Puget Sound; Ore
gon should whip Idaho: Montana
and Montana States play one Of
those what-of-it games, and in Los
Angeles. Tom Lieb and his 10y
ola crew were planning a surprise
for the University of California at
Los Angeles. Fans expected Lieb
would be surprised.

Such was the protest Of Ohio
State when asked to use a new
football, introduced by Michi-

Michigan has been using this
new ball in its practice ses-
sions lately and it is supposed
to aid forward passing and
general handling. They sent it

Hot-stove league fans know this
and enjoy it. Baseball club Off
Gals also know it and continually
deny all reports that bob up de-
spite their every effort to keep
them quiet.
However, the rumors come
about just the same and they go
to keep the game alive during the
winter months when football and
other sports supposedly monop-
olize the spotlight.
New Rumor
Today a most interesting rumor
takes the prize, as it has all the
earmarks of becoming an actual
ity. It heralds the fact that the
Washington baseball club might
train at new and different con-
ditioning base, come the spring
of 1884.
Since the close of the world
series, Clark Griffith, president Of
the Washingtons, has received
several offers from various and
sundry training bases.
The excellent climatic section
Of California has led the parade,
while offers from Miami, Tampa,
Orlando and Palm Beach, all Flor
ida towns, also have been received.
Pasadena has sent the most
tempting offer from California.
The Chamber of Commerce there
has offered the Tournament Park
as the feature site for the usual
practice sessions with the fullest
cooperation of the city pledged
to make the Griffmen most COM
Portable during their Sojourn
there.
Naturally the Florida cities
have countered with offers just
as attractive, in a sense, which
Clark Griffith has been consider
ing, even though he won't come
right out and say it.
Griff Statement
Questioned on the subject, Mr..
Griffith had this to say today:
I'm not in any position to
discuss spring training matters
right now, but will admit that
I've received several fine offers
both from cities in Florida
and California. / haven't con-
sidered any Of them yet, and
probably won't, as Biloxi, Miss,
our training base for the past
four years, has been mighty ad-
vantageOuS."
Even so, Mr.. Griffith prob
ably will count several chickens
sheep. or something, before he
decides whether to go back tC
Biloxi again or not. Particularly
if his spring exhibition schedule
can be arranged advantageously

$4,000 Crowd to See
Army illinois Play
In Cleveland

CLEVELAND, Oct. 20 G.N.SO
More than $4,000 spectators
are expected to attend the
Army-Illinois game here tomor-
row, according to estimates TO-
day of officials in charge Of
the sale Of tickets for the
classic.
Attracting fans from far and
near, the game was melting
interest of fever pitch as
Cleveland made elaborate pre-
parations for the contest.
The Washington times., 1933-10-20

We will seek to take the offensive
ourselves and keep it throughout;
certainly we will not play an
hour of defensive football. I have
faith in our attack, which, when
functioning as it did against
North Dakota two weeks ago, will
give any team in the country
trouble.
1 look for one of the most
spectacular football games Wash
ington has ever witnessed. Both
teams stress the offensive phase
of the sport and have so planned
the battle that thrills galore
should be the spectators reward.
Anything May Happen
Anything is liable to happen
with each team uncovering its
complete repertoire of plays.
Auburn, it seems to me, has
suffered little by its defeat Of
last Saturday. Consequently its
mental attitude should be good.
The Tigers actually outplayed the
team that defeated them-their
first loss in IA starts-and now
they do not have to worry about
keeping a winning streak intact.
Rather, they will be determined
to begin another one.
The Colonials, underdogs as it
were, do not anticipate the battle
in awe, as they did year ago
when Alabama's mighty Crimson
Tide rolled into town as the first
"big time" team to show here in
years.
Since the Alabama game the
Colonials have met Iowa of the
Big Ten and Oklahoma Of the
Big Six. So G. WIS experience
in fast company should stand it
in good stead tomorrow.
Auburn will have its Firpo
Phipps. G. w. will have Mig Nc
Carver and Tuffy Leemans. Au-
burn will have a smart field gen.
eral in Capt. Ripper Williams.
But G. w. will offer Johnny
Baker, responsible for previous
Buff and Blue successes. The
Tigers will show a great end in

HOWARD PRIME.
FOR Va. STATE

With a much improved team
following a week Of strenuous
workouts, the Howard University
Bisons will tackle the strong Vir-
ginia State eleven tomorrow at 2
D. m. in the Howard Stadium.
Verdell, head coach, in order
not to be surprised tomorrow as
he was last week by st. Paups last
minute winning rally, has worked
his boys hard in daily drills.
Although State has a big heavy
eleven and showed up well in its
last two games, the Bisons expect
to exc out victory.
Other big games on the South
east card include Hampton VS..
Bluefield, A. and T. VS.. st. Paul.
Smith VS.. North Carolina State.

BARGAIN POWER
ON TARIFF DUE
ROOSEVELT
BY international News Service

BY international News Service
Legislation conferring sweeping
powers on the President to nego-
tiate reciprocal tariff treaties on
q bargaining basis is expected in
the coming session Of Congress,
Democratic leaders said today.
While the President now has
broad power in the national re-
covery and agricultural adjust
ment acts to make tariff trades,
it was explained that a clear-cut
declaration Of Congress Is desired
to permit more extensive use of
the policy.
Policy Turning Point
Enactment Of tariff bargaining
legislation would mark q turning
point in the America tariff
policy, which has been to levy
a uniform tariff against all ma.
tions.
To make the policy effective
the nation now has most-favored
nation treaties with most coun-
tries under which tariff discrim-
ination between countries is
barred.
President Roosevelt, however,
has already instituted tariff
bargaining on liquor and wine
imports, using authority con-
tanned in the Agricultural Ad-
juStment Act. Further authority
has been asked of Congress to
make the policy permanent.
Under the National Recovery
Act the President has power to
gram import quotas upon COM
plant that American industries
are suffering from competition.
The Administrations policy, how
ever, goes further than this pro-
posal, placing tariff treaties on
a reciprocal basis.
Issue Between Parties
Enactment Of reciprocal tariff
legislation in the special session
was considered by the Admins
tration and Democratic leaders to
carry out the party platform.
Because of the Importance of
legislation already passed and the
desire to end the special session
as quickly as possible, President
Roosevelt refrained from making
the request.
The tariff reciprocity program
may provide a clean-cut issue be-
tween the Democrats and Repub-
lcans in Congress, with the lat
ter defending the historic policy
Of their party of raising tariff
walls to an equal height against
all nations.

tional spy case, misrepresented
himself to French aviation au-
thcrities during the recent visit

! Taking advantage Of the Lind

Meanwhile, as all France
