GIANTS, REDSKINS
 CLASH TOMORROW

Washington Redskins, defend- ing champions, oppose the New York Giants, current eastern division leaders, Sunday at the New York Polo Grounds in the game to de- eide the eastern championship of the National Football League and place in the playoff for the circuit crown.
 The western race is also at stake today in Detroit where the Lions face the Philadelphia Eagles. Victory for the Lions would send Detroit into a tie with the Green Bay Pack CTS and necessitate a playof to de- eide the western crown. A Detroit win over the Eagles would thus mean that the victor in the Polo Grounds would have to wait two weeks before meeting the western winner for the league crown.
 The game marks the close of the fourteenth season for the Giants in the Polo Grounds and will be the final game unless they win a berth in the playoff.
 The kickoff Sunday is set for 200 p. m. and the gates will be thrown open at 12 noon. More than 45,OOO are expected to attend with some 1000 rooters from Washington on hand to cheer for the Redskins. AL so along with the Capitol City con- tingent is the Redskins band of some 60 pieces which will do its famous war dance between the halves.
 Although there has been heavy advance sale there is no scarcity of tickets and the ticket booths at both the Speedway and Eighth ave- nue entrance will be open from 10:30 a. m.

DUKE PLAYERS
 CHEER FOR U. s. C.

Durham, N. o., Dec. 3-CUP)- Duke University's Blue Devils and Coach Wallace Wade listened to the Notre Dame-Southern Califor- mia football game today, and they were cheering for the U. s. 0. Troj- ans, whom they will play in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Jan. 2.
 Duke, first major undefeated, un- tied and unscored football team in the country in five years, wanted U. s. 0. to win to add prestige to the tournament of roses game. The Trojans have been beaten by Ala bana and Washington and third defeat would detract significance from their meeting with Duke.
 If the Irish eight-game winning streak is stopped today, and Duke can go on to top the Trojans, it will give them a clear cut claim to the mythical national title.

GREAT CROWD
 EXPECTED FOR
 COAST CLASSIC
Irish May Be 8Jto 5 Favor ties With Betting Very
 Heavy on Outcome
BL HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

NOMtCU IKcSS OkdA1 OOErcSpUuUcMbJ
 Los Angeles, December 3. - (UP) = In a football game that even the Hollywood Press agents have to admit is tremendous, stupendous, and slightly colossal, the Trojans of Southern California meet the Irish of Notre Dame in Memorial Coliseum today.
 The game, which means so much to both teams, is certain to be watched by 95,0O0 spectators, and there is 8 good chance that every one of the Coliseum's 101, ,000 seats will be occupied. With all the choice seats long sold, the scalpers did brisk business among those customers willing to pay upwards of $25 pair.
 Today'S game, the thirteenth in a series, finds the glamorous Irish ill Los Angeles with an unbeaten and united them for the first time since Knute Rockne's mighty eleven of 1930. Already triumphant over Kansas, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Car negie Tech, Army, Navy, Minnesota and Northwestern, a victory today would give the South Renders rous- ing claim to the national champion ship of 1888.
 But as important as the tilt is to the Irish, it is more vital to the men of Southern California. They literally have everything to gain and everything to lose, and it is a sure fire thing that they will shoot the works, the Rose Bowl be damned The Trojans know that licking by the Irish will make their Bowl ap- pearance little more than a farce, and they will be out to uphold the prestige of that mammoth flower pot.
 A victory over the Irish would wipe away the sting of the defeats the TrojanS suffered at the hands of Alabama and Washington earlier is1 the year, and go long way toward getting their coach, Howard Jones, a new contract. Jones' position has been Shaky all year, but not even the biffest wolf among the Alumni could cry for the scalp of a coach whose team gave Notre Dame it's lone defeat and also made the Rose Bowl with its $100,00O in cash.
 The betting odds have been un- stable for a week, and they were unstable today. One price was of- fered here and another one there. By game time, however, they prob ably will have settled down and Notre Dame is likely to take the field an to 5 favorite. Hundreds o thousands of dollars will change hands after the game, because not for many years has Los Angeles seen such wagering on a football battle.
 Notre Dame arrived late yester- day, taking its last practice at Yuma, Arizona. Coach Elmer Layden re- ported that the team which terror ized the Middle West all season is in top shape with the exception of Ben Sheridan, halfback. Sheridan hurt his shoulder in a workout at Tucson, but will probably get in the game.
 The statements of the rival coaches were models o ftact and caution.
 Tt will be very tough game" said Layden.
 Tt will be a very tough game" said Jones.
 The only man to come out with a flat prediction was the weather man. He said the game would be played under perfect weather condi- tions, with blue skies and warm sun overhead, and fast, dry turf down below.
