AIR ATTACK HELD
PITTS ONLY HOPE
Supporters Hope Passes
Will WhittIe Troians Down
to Panthers' Size.
BY BRIAN BELL,
49,, c xxy.44


~ ASADENA, Calf, December 81
- Southern California's foot ball
players-36 of them-tented to-
night just above the Rose Bowl
battlefield, while their opponents from
Pittsburgh were approaching by train
from their training camp at Tucson,
AriZ. The man in the street probably
will regard the winner of Mondays
game as the national champion.
Southern California with brief
workout in the famous bowl tested the
turf and atmospheric conditions and
found them about the same prevailing
a year ago, when the Trojans stopped
the green wave from Tulane. 81 to IL.
The Western team was in perfect con-
dition as it sought its fourth Rose Bowl
victory, record no other team has had
chance to make. Pitt, too, with nine
days of hard work in Tucsons invigor-
ating air, was reported fit as fiddle
and ready to score its first victory in
three starts in the roSe-scented environ
ment.
The Troians will pack a distinct
weight advantage over the invading
Panthers, but supporters Of the Eastern
OUTFIT suggest clever manipulation OF
the forward pass attack may whittle
Southern California down to Pitts
burgh's size
Close followers Of the Southern Cali
fornia team expect the visitors to COM
plete some passes, but they will be sur
prised If Coach Jock Sutherlands ath-
letes are able to gain consistently
through the powerful line, personally
coached by Howard Jones. No touch
down has been scored through the line
against the Pacific Coast Conference
champions all season. Big and fast,
without exception, the Southern Cali
fornia forwards have made many Sat-
urday afternoons in 1882 unpleasant
for their plunging opponents.
Pitt enthusiasts think, however, that
the Eastern offensive will carry suff1-
cient threat to pave the way for some
left handed passes from Mike Sebas-
tian.
Both teams know how to use the
kicking game as an offensive weapon
and the fans are primed for a punting
duel between the well rated Bob Hogan
of Pitt and Homer Griffith, Irvine War;
burton and Ford Palmer of Southern
California.
Southern California remains a de-
cided favorite, as much as to /.
However, experts declared such conceS-
sicns unjustified.

GRAIN CROP BELOW
DOMESTIC NEEDS
World Carry-over, However,
Will Be Larger Than
Last Year.
By the Associated Press.

The Bureau Of Agricultural Econom-
les. in its first official appraisal of re-
cent crop damage, forecast today the
smallest crop of wheat oats. rye, barley
and faxseed that has been harvested In
this country lin a generation"
In another announcement, it attrib-
uted the recent rise in wheat prices,
largely to dollar depreciation in for
eign exchanges" asserting that despite
crop damage in this country the do
mestic market is still burdened by very
large carry-oyer and the world market
price is still at very low level"
It estimated that the world carry
over as of July ! would be approxi-
mately 50000,000 bushels larger than
last year, which would be a new record.
1t set the domestic carry-over at ap-
proximately the same figure as last year,
363, ,000, 900 bushels.
Crop Below Domestic Needs.
The bureau said drought and other
weather damage had reduced the wheat
crop to be harvested this year below
estimated domestic needs which Ordi-
narily are from soc, 100000 bushels to
1000 900 bushels. including human
food. live stock and poultry feed and
about 100000 bushels for seed
Meanwhile, administrators of the
farm act watched the rises in both
grain and cotton prices in an attempt
to measure the reduction they might
cause in the processing taxes that will
finance the acreage reduction programs.
In its report on damage, the bureau
said crops and pastures were seriously
hurt by drought Throughout June lin
virtually the entire area east Of the
Rocky Mountains"
Small grains have been injured most,
and it appears that the total outturn
will be the smallest in a generation
Oats are practically ruined over wide
sections from Ohio westward and wheat
shows injury which has been rated in
the markets as sensational
Cut for Hay.
Reports from Nebraska and South
Dakota indicate wheat crop of only
a fraction of normal, and wide areas
elsewhere in the wheat belt show an
exceedingly thin crop with short straw
and much shriveled grain. Both wheat
and oats have been cut for hay in many
sections.
Although corn and cotton have not
been as yet badly injured by the
drought, corn is beginning to show the
bad effects of heat and dry weather and
cotton is late in parts of the Western
belt and is now generally in need of
rain
THE hot weather in June is reported
to have helped to increase the demand
for fruits and melons which are selling
generally higher than at this time last
year and markets for potatoes have been
active and strong"
