BY RUSSELL NEWLAND,

BERKELEY, Calf, Nov. 30
Football warriors of Stanford carved
the final chapter of the most grip
ping gridiron story in Far Western
history today with hard-fought
13-to-7 win over the University of
California.
1t was a story of a comeback from
a 1899 season that saw Stanford
finish last in the Pacific Coast Con-
ference race to a 1910 windup that
bagged the title and battered down
the Rose Bowl doors
Two touchdown drives In the Sec
ond period gained the points that
brought Stanford undisputed lead
ership in the conference and the
nomination to the New Year Day
classic at Pasadena.
The Indians finished as the only
major college team in the Far West
with neither defeat nor tie on its
record.
California, fighting its finest bat
tie and under serious handicap,
scored In the last minute and half
of play. 1t was the longest sus-
tanned march of the day, So yards
and straight along the ground. The
Bears were outscored and outplayed
most of the way but never out
gained.
Bears Lose Two Stars.
California opened the contest
without the services of its great
left tackle, Bob Reinhard, hospital
lied last night with influenza. He
is an outstanding candidate for all
America honors.
On the second play after the
kickoff California's first-string right
halfback, Jim Jurkovich. went out
of action from a kick on the head
More than 10000 fans turned out
for the 46th renewal of footballs
most colorful rivalry out this way,
one founded in 1892.
Stanford opened as the over
whelming favorite. 1t won the game
but only after a terrific struggle.
After a California drive midway
of the opening period. which netted
two first downs, Stanford cut loose
with an attack of its own. From
its own AZ it advanced to California S
1-yard line as they changed sides
for the second quarter.
The march featured a 22-yard
gallop by Right Halfback Hugh GAL
larneau, 12-yard pass from Quar-
terback Frank Albert to Substitute
End Glen Tomerlin, and a 19-yard
breakaway by little Pete Kmetovic,
left half. The latter run put the
ball on near scoring turf. Kmetovic
went over for the score to start the
second period.
A short time later, with Stanford
stopped on the California 80, Albert
dropped back to the 40 for field
goal try. He toed it in a bee-line
for the uprights but it was a few
feet low.
Bad Pass Hurts Bears.
The Indians snatched at break
to take the ball on CALIFORNIA; 35.
A bad pass from center on an at
tempted punt cost the Bears 19
yards and loss of the ball on downs.

DALLAS, Nov. 3O.-Powerful Ford

an invitation to play a New Year

R.-Mississippi States unbeaten
football team agreed tonight to
face an eleven to be selected later
in Miami's Orange Bowl New
Year Day.
The Mississippi team, victor
over Alabama 13 to 0 here to-
day, voted to play In the Orange
Bowl early in the evening, but
the final decision was delayed
by a feeler from the Rose Bowl.
After several hours Of anxious
waiting, State decided to take
the Orange Bowl bid.

sippi State a few minutes after

The Star Spangled Banner" while
Referee Red Friesell blew his whistle
in short blasts and members of the
Army team tried to wave upward OF
5000 trespassers back into the
stands.
According to the clock, the game
had a few seconds to run, but fol-
lowing the national anthem both
teams threaded their ways through
the crowd to the dressing rooms.
1t is doubtful if there would have
been enough time for more than one
play.
Busik. Clark Spark Navy.
The Army team, which hadn't
won a game since nosing out Will
liams at the start of the season,
20-19, was plagued today by a pair
of Californians, Halfbacks William
Busik of Pasadena and Howard
Clark of San Pedro. Without this
pair to spark the attack, Navy
would have found it far more diff
cult to win its second straight game
from Army. incidentally, today's
victory marked the first repeat over
the Cadets since 1919, when Navy
won after triumphing in 1918.
It was Busik, triple -threater,
who led a 42-yard touchdown drive
in the first five minutes of play and,
after Busik was injured, 1t was Clark
who stepped into his spot and in
spired a 47-yard march early in
the third period for the second
score.
Navy started as if it meant to
roll up record score. Although
past performances mean little in
this traditional battle, Navy was
favored heavily because the Mid
dies, while beaten by Notre Dame
and Pennsylvania, had won five
games and tied Columbia. while
Army, after its win over Williams
was defeated by Cornell, tied by a
weak Harvard team and beaten Sue
cessively by Lafayette, Notre Dame,
Brown, Penn and Princeton. In
other words, anything from the
usual stubborn battle to three or
four touchdown triumph for Navy
would not have been surprising.
Navy Quickly Finds Goal.
The only thing Army won was the
toss and the kicking honors. After
winning the toss, the Cadets elected
to receive, but when Navy got the
ball on the punt that followed the
Middies lost no time getting under
way. Busik, who caught the punt,
carried 1t down to Army's 42. Slash
ing of the two tackles, Busik picked
up q first down and passed to Right
Halfback Everett Malcolm of Ra-
ton, N. Mex, for IA yards.
With the ball on Army's Is, Navy
went back to running. On reverse,
Malcolm taking the ball from Busik,
the Midshipmen picked up IL yards.
Busik bucked to the and, after
Fullback Sherwood Werner of Read
ing, Pa, was stopped, Busik carried
again and bent the Army line just
enough to score. Little Bob Leonard,
the placement-kicking specialist
from Gainesville, Tex, entered the
game and added the extra point
to make it TO.

had Army on the ropes again as

CORVALLIS, Oreg., Nov. 3d.
Stanford University, undefeated and
united champion of the Pacific Coast
Conference, was selected off1cially
tonight as the conferences Rose
Bowl football representative
Prof. G. v. Ruzek of Oregon State,
conference president, said the exact
vote, which came a few hours after
Stanford's 13-to-7 victory over its
final conference hurdle, California,
could not be made public 1t was
believed to have been unanimous,
however.
At Berkeley, meanwhile, Alfred r.
Masters, athletic director of STAN
ford, said he would take no steps
toward selection of an Eastern op-
ponent until tomorrow.
Speculation on the Eastern pos
sibilities centered around Nebraska,
winner of it's final contest and with
but loss to Minnesota in It's record
and Texas A. and NJ, loser of a
close one to Texas this week.

From that point Albert and his
unstoppable mates worked the ball
to the 2-yard marker where Gallar-
neau cracked through hole at left
guard for the touchdown. Albert,
successful on the first place-kick
try for the extra point, failed this
time, but the Indians had Is points
and the game apparently well In

Stanford put together a 30-yard

California rooters thundered en-
couragement to the skies but to no
avail. Stanford mustered a stone
wall defense and took the ball on
downs exactly where California had
put it into play, feet from goal.
When their cause appeared hope
lessly lost the Bears came to life in
stunning fashion. With Left Half
Orv Hatcher and Fullback Jack Nc
Quarry alternating in Juggling the

/ NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30.-Before
even one of the Rose Bowl partici-
pants was officially decided, Sugar
Bowl authorities announced today
they had landed the only available
unbeaten, united football teams in
the country-Boston College and
Tennessee-for their New Years
Day game.
The announcement caused little
surprise. Ever since Boston College
romped over Tulane 27-7 here last
September, before the eyes of most
of the men who choose the Sugar
Bowl teams, it had been conceded
the Eagles were welcome to fly back
here January l if they should go
through their season undefeated.
This they did, although they
squeezed out narrow TO victory
over supposedly much inferior
Holy Cross team today.
Tennessee Long Considered.
Tennessee had been considered
the most probable opponent. al
though since Texas U. upset the
Rose Bowl-bound Texas Aggies last
Thursday, many believed the Vol
unteers would now go to the Rose
Bowl and Nebraska would be the
Sugar Bowl choice.
The teams were announced at 5
pm, in the Offices of the New Or
leans Midwinter Sports Association
while Stanford still was battling
California for undisputed posses
sion of the Pacific Coast Conference
title, which carries automatic en-
trance to the Rose Bowl and the
right to invite an opponent.
Word of Tennessees 200 victory
over Vanderbilt had been received
only half hour before.
The Sugar Bowls $1,000 seats have
been sold out for several days, ex-
cept for a few combination tickets"
to all sports events on the mid
winter calendar and several thou
sand reserved for disposal by the
participating teams.
Third Bowl for Vols.
Tennessee thus becomes the first
team to go to three bowls, which it
does on successive years. In 1889 1t
beat Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl
and this year lost to Southern Cal
ifornia in the Rose Bowl.
Boston College lost to Clemson in

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3d.
Navy's victory over Army today
was a personal triumph for the
Middies' captain, Richard E. Fos-
ter of Piedmont, Calf.
Before the kickoff Foster and
Capt. William Gillis of Army
bet their helmets on the game.

Foster in the Navy dressing room

1t always will mean tender MEM

Both coaches, Maj. Emory e.
(Swede) Larson of Navy and
Capt. william H. (BilD Wood of
Army, agreed the turning point
came in the first quarter when
an Army player missed a tackle
on Bill Busik on the Army 80
on fourth down. Busik appar-
emily was trapped for a 3-yard
loss but he got loose and made
first down on the Army 81 by
an inch. The Middies promptly
went the rest of the way for
their first touchdown.
'Tt was grand game and q
great game to win," declared
Maj. Larson, who has yet to lose
to the Army in five years as
Navy player and coach. I'VE
