TROJANS TAKE
DOWN GRADE
By HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

tnlLeu fTeSS StdlI COTTtoPOhuChs
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.-Are
the once mighty Trojans of U. S. C.
really slipping? 1t seems hard to
believe, yet all facts seem to point
to just that.
Perhaps Jones will iron out the
rough spots in his team and perk up
the attack. It must come quickly,
however, for the men of Troy go
east this week to play Pittsburgh,
and the Panthers, like the teams
out here, are itching to avenge some
of the sound Whippings they have
received in other years from west
ern teams.
Such was the case of Washington
State. Smarting under a 800 defeat
last season, the Cougars, spanked
by 1893 pound Ted ChriStofferson,
defeated the Trojans 1910 on Satur
day in the Troy elevens first con-
ference game. No eleven since the
Knute Rockne combination of 1928
which won go, had scored such
decisive victory over U. S. c.
That victory put the men Of
Washington State in the lead.off
position in conference standings
with two victories and no defeats.
Close on their heels come Stanford,
/ Washington and Oregon with one
victory All other conference elev
ems, except California, which doesn't
have a conference game until the
iU. c. L. a. battle on October 20.
! have been defeated.
Bears Not Out
/ California, which lost TO st.
Marys 10, cannot be counted out
of the race. The Bears played an
inspired Gael team that counted a
touchdown in the first period and
then held doggedly TO its lead as it
smashed back California scoring at
temptS.
Stanford, after its TT tie with
Santa Clara, came back like a
champion and halted Oregon State
ITO.
The game tuned up the Stanford
machine for its intersectional clash
with Dick Hanley's Northwestern
university gang at Stanford Satur-
Gay. A meeting between two teams
exemplifying the best Of the Warner
system.
Also on Saturdays program is the
game between California and Col
1ao,a oF Dacifia a affordipo a cot,,pari
son between the Bears and use who
defeated Amos Alonzo Stages 25-
man squad 60.
Washington and Oregon, both
idle Saturday, meet in the big CON
ference game next week end.
Outside the conference, Santa
Clara continued its upward march
Sunday by defeating University OF
San Francisco, 60.

SHELL OIL To
HELP CHOOSE
STAR ELEVEN

Footballs latest innovation-the
selection of an all-Western eleven by
the people of the Pacific coast
states-iS announced by Shell Oil
company. More than 5000 Shell ser
vice stations in the west will serve
as distributing points and voting de
positories for ballots which are now
available TO gridiron fans.
The purpose of the great ballot,
which will be concluded on mid.
night, December /, is to select the
IL players on the Pacific coast who
"exemplify the greatest skill, cour-
age. craftsmanship and valor on the
field" These players will be honored
by Shell Oil company.
Inability to attend games on the
Pacific Coast does not preclude any
cne from voting, the sponsors de-
clare. adding Through the medium
Of the sports pages, everyone has a
chance to follow the performances
of the players and thus have a basis
for voting"
To prevent a heavily populated
section from having an unfair ad-
vantage over a Sparsely- settled dis
trict, the company declares that
"the voting power of each section
of the west will be taken into con
sideration."

Athletic Notes
From Central

That 140 yards in penalties sls-
tanned by the Spartans Friday nlghe
was, if you like to stretch a paradox
the way we do the fault of the op-
posing team. Competition was not
as strong as the Centralites expect
ed and so, to give them experience,
Coach w. S. Taylor began sending
in the second stringers. Second
stringers proved that they needed
the experience. The first team even.
tually had to carry on.
Work with reserve players will be
stressed in this weeks practice.
Because an open date faces Cen
tral this Friday, the Spartans are
trying to get game out OF town to
keep them in trim. Redlands, Col
ton, Banning, San Diego, San Ber-
nardino are towns being considered.
Outside schedules are being rapidly
filled. however. and it is doubtful
whether this out -of-toWn date will
materialize.
The Arabs played in hard luck at
Brawley Friday. When a feller loses
his pants it is time, in our opinion,
to stop.
Most of Central's penalties were
for holding and clipping. To remove
the cause of bad plays has always
been a good way to get better re
suits in any game, and SO much
time Will be spent on blocking in
Spartan practice this week.
Many of the large gains last week
were due TO effective blocking by
Bush If this weeks open date
is not filled, time will be spent EN-

Gene Ford Promoted by Loew s
To Production Manager

Promotion, swift and we'll de-
served, came to Gene Ford, who
produced the local revue which is
attracting record business at the
Fox theater this week. He was
today named production manager
for the eastern division of LoeW's
theaterS with headquarters a.
Washington.
Announcement of the advance
ment came from Joseph r. VogeI
of the LoeW executive offices. Mr.
Ford became associated with the
organiza ton in 1880 when he was
named production manager for
the Capitol theater on Broadway.
In this capacity he was chief as
sistant to Louis K. Sidney, chief
of booking and stage shows in the
LoeW theaterS. He is what the
amusement industry describes as
a Sidney man." thoroughly i'm
bued with his chiefs ideas.
In Baltimore the Gene Ford
local production set a box office
record last winter. His two Wash.
ington shows have been tremen-
dous successes and in his new po-
sition he will have complete SUI
pervision of both stages, settinb
and arranging shows and incor-
porating his own original produc
ton ideas.
Before joining Loew served as
stage manager for Charles B. Dill
bingham, with R. H. Burnside, at
the New York Hippodrome and in
an executive capacity with Ned
Wayburn.
Mr.. Ford is married to the for
mer Catherine O'Gorman, daugh-
ter of a St. Louis surgeon, and
they have one son, Eugene Francis
Ford, Jr. They will take up their
residence here.

more people than they amuse.
And tell me, Gene Ford Gf you've
caught your BREATH, why open
show like this with dark stage
number?
The most marvellous feature of
"Going Native" I reserve to the
last-the audience. They came
in record-breaking numbers over
the weekend to see a local show
without an established box office
name on the marquee. They
came hoping to see stars in en-
bryo, new faces and perhaps to
cheer and applaud the bright
member of their family, or maybe
the stage-struck one. I wonder
if the Richmans, the Berries or
the Hotties could do as we'll at
packing 'em in?

actor, Mickey Rooney, as a coun-
try boy coming precious close to
