  BIG GAME IS SlATED SATURDAY UCLA and Southern Cali. fornia Will Play for Rose Bowl Bid LOS ANGELES, Dec. Tn a doubleheader football game, UCLA overwhelmed game but outclassed University of Idaho 40–⁠13. while Southern California overpowered Montana University last Saturday afternoon. 38 to 0. Southern California and UCLA meet in Los Angeles next Saturday for the Pacific Coast Conference title and a chance to play Georgia in the Rose Bowl. They played in 1889 in like circumstances and Southern California won in a game that still smells. The conference and Bowl offici- als had already invited Tennessee for the New Years day classic but as UCIIA had four Negroes on their team it was impossible to have them win and Tennessee, the National Champion refused to play team that had Negroes on it. UCLA handed California the vic- tory that year so watch out for sweet revenge when they play next Saturday afternoon.
