    H 3 :;,x Q G !: 4 > ! r& 2 IsZsXAls- -&AAa 99ezE2 UCLA KEEPS TOP OF HEAD ALONG SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 21.-Af ter last weeks rugged football ses- sions. involving an upset or two the west coast gridiron story today remains the Same-the best team until beaten is the University of California at Los Angeles. The UCLA Bruins, perched atop inc coast conference standings and four times winners over stout op- position, improved their position in the dash to the Rose Bowl with a 1916 win over a surprisingly strong University of California eleven. The Bruins lined up to l favorites They were lucky to escape with Vhcle skins. Defeated, the Bears outplayed their southern cousins Tor a goodly part of the game at Berkeley which attracted some 65,00O fans. In some respects, the Bruins lost while win- ming. Their leading ground gainer and ace right halfback, Cal Rossi suffered a broken right leg, above the ankle And their clever field general, southpaw quarterback Ernie Case, went out of the contest with a broken nose. Nevertheless, UCLA is setting the championship pace, unbeaten, and may have hurdled the toughest ri- vals, namely oregon State, Wasli- ingtcn, Stanford and California Unless University of Southern Cal ifolnia, c-season conference fa- vcrite, has finally hit it’s stride. Sizzling Ccmc back Southern California heartened supporters with a sizzling come back. after losses inside and out of the conference, by overwhelming Washington, 23–⁠0. It was a re- sounding reply to the general ques- tion Of what was wrong with a use eleven that had bowed to Ohio State, 21–⁠0 and to oregon State, GO, the latter league af- fair. This weeks headliner may give further light on the Southern Cal ifornia enigma. The Trojans jour- ney to Palo Alto to take on the last working Stanford Indians. Some comparison between the championship-bound UCLA Bruins and the originally title-favored USC Trcjans may evolve from the meet ing between the Trojans and Stan fcrd. The latter lost to UCLA, 26–⁠6 and the consensus is the Trojans will have to have their warhorse in real racing condition this Sat urday Stanford outscored Santa Clara, 33–⁠26 in a non-c conference test Sat urday, Santa Clara’s hitherto strug- gling outfit being a bit of a sur prise package in the freefof-all. Santa Clara seems headed for an- other fall in it’s engagement with UCLA at Los Angeles this weekend, non-league in status. Other conference contests on the Oct 26 calendar send the up and coming California Bears against the Washington Huskies in the homecoming game at Seattle; Ore gon State against Washington State at Pullman and Oregon against Idaho at Moscow.
