| NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (U.P.).—October annually marks the beginning of a periodic and bitter battle between collegiate and professional foot‘ball for the affection of gridiron fans—a rivalry that today ranks as

Transplanted Rose Bowl Kings May Rule Football in West

1.08 ANGELES, Oct. 8 (U. P.).—It was supposed to have been California in Pacific Coast conference football this year, but it looked more

and more today like it would turn transplanted Rose Bowl champions,

out to be either Oregon State, the or Washington State,

The pre-season experts who: selected California reasoned that Oregon State, having lost its touchdown twins, didn’t figure to come back

The Beginning

CHAPEL HILL, N. C, Oct. 8 (U. P.)—Difficulties of war transportation have forced postponement of the Rice Institute - University of North Caroline football game scheduled here Oct. 17, Athletic Director R. A. Fetzer announced today. Fetzer said the contract with the Houston, Tex., team called for two games—one Oct, 17 and the other next season. Both games were called off. at the request of Jess Neely, Rice Institute athletic director and head coach, the announcement said.

‘Dippy’ Evans May

Return to Lineup ' SOUTH BEND, Oct. 8 (U. P.)—

7 Notre Dame’s football practice was yesterday when Coach]

sparked Frank Leahy announced the prospects of Owen “Dippy” Evans playing in the Stanford game here Saturday. The senior left halfback has been sidelined since early Sep-

tember because of knee injuries. Leahy had Evans put through

ai h |several running plays, which indi-

cated his knee, hurt on several occasions, was growing stronger. Meanwhile, Stanford arrived in Chicago today where they will hold several sessions before entraining for South Bend in time for Saturday’s encounter.

Grid-Irony

after defeating Duke for the bowl title and dismissed Washington State from a leading role because of the loss of Billy Sewel, passing star. Their long-range guessing has backfired. ' California barely defeated a weak

er and was knocked off last weekend by Oregon State, 13 to 8. The Beavers had warmed up for the upset by defeating Idaho, 32 to 0.

Lost His Twins

Although Coach Lon Stiner lost 16 lettermen, including Bob Dethman and Don Durdan, the touchdown twins, he molded another powerful team out of 17 returning veterans and a wealth of new material. He has built the Beaver offense around Everett Smith, sharpshooting passer, and Joe Day, a hard driving fullback. Just how far the Beavers will go may be determined Saturday, when they meet the stubborn University of California at Los Angeles. -It will be the first conference game for U. C. L. A, which lost to Texas Christion, 7 to 6, and the navy pre-flight team from St. Mary’s, 18 to 7. Washington State has a breather Saturday" in Montana, but Coach Babe Hollingbery’s Cougars have upset the dope to defeat Stanford, 6 to 0, and the University of Oregon, 7 to 0. Hit the Rails

Two Pacific coast teams are traveling east for intersectional games Saturday. The University of Southern California, which battled the University of Washington to a scoreless tie last week, meets Ohio State at Columbus, while Stanford takes on Notre Dame at South Bend. The schedule makers gave Jeff Cravath, new Trojan coach, a tough row to hoe. He had to travel to Seattle last week, Columbus this week and next week will go back to L.0s Angeles to meet Washington State.

Money Winner

By JACK CUDDY Unifed Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct, 8.—Little Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa. three-way prince of professional golf for three consecutive years, plans to join one of the armed services next month, This will remove a dangerous money player from golf's golden trail during the winter tournament season. And it appears now that the war will not prevent another string of

winter tournaments, in which all

prizes will be paid off in war bonds and all profits garnered by the

tourney clubs invested in war bonds. At least that is the. sgifuation. as described by Fed J. Co , tour=

|nament manager of the Professional

Golfers’ association. Corcoran, “says that professional golf has been given the green light for the next year by Washington officials. The winter tour, he says, will start with the Miami, Fla., open, Dec. 3-6, and will’ ‘continue: ough California, Texas, Arizona the Carolinas. \

175 In Uniform

Accent will be on age during this trek over the golden trail, with most of the young golfers being in service. In fact, 175 members of the P. G. A. already are in uniform. But Corcoran emphasizes that age does not prevent good golf. He recalls that Ted Ray of England won the U. 8. Open title at Toledo in 1920 when he was 48. And that Craig Wood took the open title at Pt. Worth, Tex, in 1940 when he

fwas 39. And those players were [| competing against the cream of

youthful golfers from three cone tinents. Tournament - manager Corcoran, who expects to be in uniform bee fore the ‘winter schedule is come pleted, emphasizes that the absence of Ben Hogan will throw competie tion open to the field for the bige money war bond prizes. Hogan, the mighty mite, has topped the lists for three years in money winnings, low scoring average, and in point scores for the Vardon trophy. ; Little Ben won $13,143 during 19432, and can not be replaced, as leading money winner even though the Miami Open and one or two Cali fornia touimeys may be staged bee fore Jan. 1. Ben won $18,200 in 1941 and $12,800 in 1940, for a total of
