  COAST GRID BATTLES ON THIS WEEK SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l1.-IR Far Western football dips into mid November competition this weekend with four Coast confer ence encounters to be decided along with a sprinkling of intersectional contests. Results of the games will have no effect on the league leader ship. Southern California, the pace-setter, sits out an open date Saturday but a week later makes it’s bid for the Rose Bowl in the conference wind-up engagement with the University of California at Los Angeles The U.CL.A. Bruins, defending champions but once beaten, take or the invading Washington Husk- ies and figure to win off com parative performances. The Bruins, after losing to California 60 a week, rolled up a 27–⁠7 victory over Oregon State in the North last Saturday Meanwhile, their forth coming opponent, Washington, dropped a 13–⁠7 decision to Cali fornia As noted, only U.CL.A. stands in the road of an undefeated sea- son for Southern California, and the formers showing agaiHst Wash ington may provide an interesting comparison. Southern California scored a 19–⁠0 win over Washing ton a week ago. Oregon, fresh from 1926 tri- umph over Washington State in a snowstorm, travels to Palo Alto to meet the seven times defeated Stanford Indians Stanford’s mea- ger forces, however, made a cred- iitable display against powerful Southern California last week by losing only 14-o and may give Oregon a real battle. California, once defeated and enjoying it’s finest season in a decade, will entertain a scrappy University of Montana eleven which has pulled two surprises out of the bag. Doug Fressenden’s $ Grizzlies were short-enders each time but defeated Washington State, 13–⁠12 and Idaho 21–⁠0 in their last two contests. Washington State and Oregon State, losers in their last games, collide at Corvallis with O.S.C. as the mild favorite.
