SCRIBES AGAIN RATE STANFORD
AS OUTFIT TO DEFEAT IN WEST
Northwest Teams Threaten t
Sping Surprises IN Pa
cific Coast Race

! Los Angeles, (NEA) Sept. Is. AS
! the 1884 football season Is about to
open, there IS no possible way to fore
cast the outcome Of the Pacific Coast
Conference race. Any one Of four or
five elevens may find itself In the
Rose Bowl on New Years Day, and it
Is doubtful whether any one team can
60 through undefeated.
Stanford was the leading team In
the far west last season, and followers
Of the Indians feel. that this Is their
year again. They base their judgment
on the fact that II the sophomore
team Of 1888 drove to triple tie for
the championship, the junior team Of
this year should be able to perform
miracles.
The Big Red team has good line,
both on offense and defense, with
Bobby Grayson, one Of the coasts
outstanding players, as its backfield
ace. Grayson once more will direct
the Cardinals play from the fullback
position.
California has the best material
!, since the days Of its wonder teams
Bill Ingram believes he has q winner
this year, with men like Lutz, tackle;
the Birmingham brothers at the ends:
and williams and Blower in the back
field. California looks like the team
to beat.
Warburton Back 1t Southern Cal.
Southern California, even though
losing such men as Youel, center; Pal
mer, end; and two great guards in
Stevens and Rosenberg, may turn out
to be tough. Warburton is present,
and Clemens will be at right half,
clearing the way for the Cotton Top.
Howard Jones has good heavy line
material to work on, and by the mid
die Of the season the Trojans should
be rolling up points.
They are counting on Jimmy Phe-
ain to come through at Washington
as they have for four years. Wash
ington has played some fine football
in spots-as good as could be expected
when the competition Is considered.
The Huskies may be q hard team to
beat this year on account Of such men
las Sulkosky and Muczynska, two Of
the best backs on the coast. Bufkin.
who went to Army q year ago, will be
back 1T left half. It Is questionable
whether Phelan can replace Bill
Smith, great end, and develop
line equal 10 last years.
Oregon looms strong again despite
the fact that Mikulak, Temple and
Gee, backs, and Cuppoletti and
hughes, linemen, were lost. It Is
doubtful II Mikulak can be replaced,
but Oregon is on the upgrade, for two
stellar backs remain from last year In
Parke, who phobably will be moved
from quarter to left halt, and Van
Vliet, fast, open field runner.
Parke won the javelin throw in most
Of the spring events on the coast, and
It's but q step across the field from
that Roman instrument to the pig
skin. He should be fine passer while
his kicking was . factor In Orcgon's
success last fall.
Watch Oregon State
Oregon State is the team that tied
the Trojans last year, and Is expected
to be even stronger this fall. Last
year IVES Coach Lon Steiners first
with the Beavers, and his system
probably will be working more
smoothly.
U. G. L. A. is looking for good
season. The loss Of Muller, Yearick.
Goats and Keeble. will be difficult to
overcome. However. Ted Key looks as
though he may be able to fill Jolting
Joe's shoes, and such backs as Funk,
Gary, Haraden and Spaulding. along
with Captain Livesay and Cheshire,
should give us the strongest backfield
In the Bruins history,
Washington State, as usual, looks
strong. and 1t may be the best team
In the Pacific northwest. Babe Hol-
linghery usually has q heavy line and
number Of good backs. His team
will be very well balanced. with
