Adverse Psychology Threatening S. M. u,
But Stanford u. Still Faces Grim Task.

call
1t hardly is likely that after
two years Of battling TO show
what the Southwest had that
its leading team should suddenly
decide to loaf or take too much
for granted.
If this happens, Matty Bells somber
fears certainly will be realized. For
Stanford has too many good foot ball
players-and Stanford is in no frame
of mind to be whipped by so per
cent job.
Coach Bell figures that Harry shu-
ford, his star blocking back, can play
at least half the game. This will
make a big difference as the 1872
pound Texan can handle any type
Of job.
But the wonder man on his team
Is Bobby Wilson, q 147-pound entry
who not only is extremely fast. but
also hard to halt, a hard-hitting
type who can give go minutes and
finish with every bone and muscle
just about where they were at the
opening kickoff.

passing attack by several notches over
last year. But the Cardinal Of Pale
Alto still lacks the passing ability

odist can call upon.
can see but little difference in the
defensive strength of the two teams.
Where s. M. U. has the better attack,
due to more ball carriers and to better
passers and better pass receivers,
Stanford's defense, that has been
tighter than two drums all year, hasn't
been called upon so far to face such
variety Of thrusts by land and air. S.
M. U. may have no Dixie Howell peg
ging to q Don Hutson, but Alabama
had no all-around running game to
match the Texans along the ground.
And with the game only four days
away, the plaintive cry for tickets still
fills the balmy California air from
more than 100000 throats.
AL Masters of Stanford now has
lifted his guess on the application list
to 100000 or more. Which moves to
q new all-time record.
