    PACIFIC COAST ELEVENS PROVE TO Be SUPERIOR LOS ANGELES, Dec. IA. U.P) - If there was any doubt that the Pacific coast was playing higher grade of football than other Sec tionS of the country this year it was dispelled Saturday when South ern California swamped Georgia here, 60 to 0. The Trojan victory increased to Is the triumphS of coast teams III the Is intersectional clashes To date. Only twice have far west teams been beaten and one game ended in a tie. Two contests remain to be played. In five meetings with southe.h teams, the Pacific coast has won four and lost one. The far west has beaten Rocky mountain aggregationS five times and eastern teams twice without a loss or tie. The coast has trimmed midwest elevenS four times, lost to one and tied one. 1t might be said that many of the coast victories were over minor opponents, but there is no doubt that such teams as New York uni versity, Dartmouth. Southern Meth odists, Georgia, Notre Dame, Min nesota and Utah were representative teams in their sections. More decisive was the Southern California victory over Georgia, rated as one of the strong southern teams. Coach Harry Mehre of Georgia said the Trojan team was as powerful and versatile as any he ever had seen. The Southern California backs had no trouble in scoring the nine touchdoWns against the Bulldogs. The coast still would have an advantage even though it lost the two remaining intersectional games. which seems unlikely. The first of these games will take California against Georgia Tech and the second will bring Tulane west to meet Southern California. The western teams are favored to win both contests.
