GOOD AS GOPHERS,
THORNH|LL AYERS
Always Great In Tits on
Coast, Stanford Coach
Points Out.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
= TANFORD, Calf, December 10.
~ When Stanford chose Ala.
- ban1a as its opponent In the
1888 Rose Bowl game, It
picked wisely and perhaps too well,
in the opinion of Coach Claude T.
Tiny" Thornhill. foot ball coach of
the Big Red machine.
First Of all. he says, the Southern
teams record for the season war
rants the selection. Whether Mime
sofa worshipers concede 1t or not, the
Rose Bowl designation went, In
Thornhill's opinion, to as strong
team as there Is in the country today.
This is how he justifies his argu-
ment. Minnesota's supremacy within
its own conference was established
without meeting two Of the strongest
season-end teams of the Big Ten,
Ohio State and Purdue.
Has Proved Class.
I'm NOT so sure Minnesota could
have beaten Ohio State. Look
up their comparative records
yourself. Purdue played some fine
foot ball in midseason and we must
remember there were more surprising
upSets during the year than a Purdue
or Ohio State victory over Minnesota
would have been.
Nov take Alabama. Out here we
know how tough these Southern
teams are. The Crimson Tide has
been out here four times without a
defeat - three times In Rose Bowl
play and once against a strong st.
Marys team. Every other southern
team. almost without an exception.
has put up a great game, and the
same cannot be said for many teams
from some other sectors.
Plenty Of Opposition.
TITS true Alabama did not play out
side of its own section, but the
competition it finds at home is
tough enough to gauge the qualifica-
tions of anybody's foot ball team.
"On the other hand, Minnesota in
its principal non-conference game
won over Pittsburgh on break only
after being on the short end Of the
score for three periods.
You can argue until doomsday
about the relative merits Of two
teams which play In different sec
tions without proving anything. If
they don't meet each other, there's
no basis Of comparison. If Mime
sofa could have played in the Rose
Bowl we would be just as pleased to
meet them, but as it Is, out here we
feel we've picked team that doesn't
have to take back seat to any team
In the country this season
Il wish felt as sure about beat
ing them" --T

Hargaden Runs Wild.

town had a defense for Capt.
Ed Hargaden been planned and car
ried out. The rangy Hoya forward
alone scored enough points to whip the
Bisons. eight field goals swishing
through the hoops from his hands.
Hargaden divided his goals evenly
and his quartet of double-sackers in
the first half gave the Hilltoppers an
ll-to-6 lead. which they increased
steadily throughout the remainder of
the fray.
1t was Georgetowns second win in
a row and the first for both teams in

1882. the 1884 outpouring shows an
improvement of 10 per cent over last

that fiscal affairs are on the up.

which works out TO an average at

of 34,407.

In both plants the conditions are bad earnings

RACES gave part OF their meagre earnings for sub

These results are additional proof that wherever
