WASHINGTON TO
TAKE STANFORD
IS latest DOPE:

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24-tR-Il
the word from the UCLA coaching
staff means anything, and it some
times does, the Rose Bowl situation
on the west coast is essentially a
matter between Washington and
California.
At the weekly football writer's
meeting yesterday, Bill Barnes, the
assistant coach at UCLA, admitted.
None of us really thought Stanford
was worthy of all its praise. But l
guess they might be mad ana
should be ready to bump off some
body. Who do they play this week?
Washington" he was told,
"Then maybe they won't bump
off somebody" Barnes reconsidered'
Bill Fisk. the assistant mentor al
use. was in hearty agreement with
Barnes. Il predict" said Fisk flatiy'
that Washington will whip Stan
ford handily"
Both Fish and Barnes spoke III
behalf of their bosses who, fof
various reasons, were unable to at
tend. UCLA's headman, Red San
ders, got such a back slapping after
Saturdays 21-7 Bruin triumph thai
ne probably figured he could use
some rest. uses Jeff Cravath re-
portedly was attending a funeral
Barnes said he favors California
over Washington largely because o.
Gals more proficient defense. "Bott
teams have great offenses," Barnei
observed, but Washington hasn'
been too hard to run through thu
year."

Criticizing the Opposition


II is IN the nature Of q pO.
Eitical campaign that one side,
while praising its own candidate,
crIticizes the candidate Of the
other side. In some campaigns
the criticism is more severe than
ii Others. For example, it ap-
pears from q reading Of the
newspapers that neither Of the
candidates in the Graham-Smith
contest for the Senate in North
Carolina is having anywhere
near a. bad things said about
him as are said about Pepper
and Smathers in the senatorial
contest in Florida. Thelusual se-
quence is that criticism grows
sharper week by week, because
partisans get heated up as the
day Of decision draws near. That
is happening here in this State,
but do not expect us TO catch
up with Florida In the stigma
tizing Of candidates for. Flor
ida is way in the lead and is
making just as good progress
every day as we are.
Smiths adherents are criticiz-
ing Graham. and Graham's ad-
herents are criticizing Smith.
but the, Smith camp is notice
ably more violent in its talk than
the Graham camp. As far as the
utterances Of the two candidates
themselves are concerned, Smith
seems to have q monopoly Of the
crltcizing. He keeps on with his
accusations against Graham
fnone the less accusations be-
cause they are often indirect). /
believe this is doing Smith a
good deal more harm than good.
The things he says against Ora
ham are not believed by ANYBODY
but persons who are hostile to
Graham anyway. Other people
are getting the impression that
Smith is not capable Of anything
else in his campaign but to low
rate his opponent. There are
coming 10 be many comments
unfavorable to this course Of
his. One ! noticed few days
ago was from Fl. l.. Riddle,
Morganton banker, who said,
irresponsible and malicious
misrepresentation concerning
Mr.. Graham's record and views
IN government and business mo-
tivate me to enlist in the front
lines with those determined to
give such falsities the lie they
80 deserve" The News of Or
ange County said in an editorial
last week, rarely has a man Of
such basic sincerity been mis-
represented more than Frank
Graham. For him an innocent
contribution TO some organiza-
ton sending books to the heather
Japanese in pre-war days may
now have become a very bad
thing to have done. Such actions
according to present-day detrac-
tors, make him a subversive.
Since we are vitally interested In
his present endeavor, we hope
he has refrained from contribut-
ing to the Red Cross thisayear,
as it could easily return to haunt
him in his current campaign"
