  old Master Stagg Brings Up Strong Squad at Pacific Ex-Maroon Coach Gives Coast Powers Scare. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 17-Amos Alonzo Stage, banished from the Big Ten because the University of Chicago thought he was too old to coach football, today had proved Chicago was wrong and had chastised two young sprout” coaches who happened to get in the way of Mr.. Stagg and his amazing football team at the College of Pacific. College of Pacific, 0; Southern California, 6. College of Pacific, 6; University of California, 7. Stage No “Setup” Those records already have been written in the gridiron book for 1884 to attest the proves of Amos Alonzo Stage, who thinks life still is pretty sweet after the age of 70. The fact that Pacific, on each &C. casion, was supposed to be a “setup” adds to Stages prestige. Two weeks ago Stages Bengals almost slapped down the once mighty Trojans, coached by How ard Jones. Howard was in swadding clothes when Stage captained Yale, where Jones later played. As founded fans in Los Angeles adj mitted Pacific would have tied or beaten the Trojans except for a few breaks. Still Has Pep Last Saturday Navy Bill’ In gram, who was of water boy age when Coach Stagg was king of the Midway at Chicago, almost was victimized. Amos AlOnzo brought forty country kids to Berkeley. When the Pacific team trotted from the dress ing room into the huge bowl, Stagg was running at the head. He sprinted here and there on the field, passing footballs and directing a warmup. Pretty good, the fans thought, for an alleged old man. Pacific received the kickoff and Bob Wicker, a substitute not listed on the program, started to pass. Later Stagg explained he intended to surprise California with the unknown Wicker. He did exactly that all afternoon. California players became so dizzy looking at Wicker’s passes that they forgot he could run. So Wicker crossed them up and scampered seventy yards for a touchdown. But a teammate couldn’t kick the goal and California managed to con vert” when the heavy Bears pushed over the goal line.
