  OOOIllcIA Adl11Ol1ud dIlu hdnsas, cunning for the Pacific Coast conference and Big Six titles respectively, also remained among the unbeaten although ties mar their records. Southern Cali fornia, which faces U.C.L.A. in the big game of the week Saturday, was idle Saturday but Kansas came from behind to overcome Oklahoma A. & M, 1877. A victory over U. c. L. A. will assure Southern California a place in the Rose Bowl opposite the might Michigan Wolverines who won the Big Nine crown and an automatic New Years invitation to Pasadena by slaughtering Wisconsin 4O-6. Bob Chap puts, Michigan’s great back, threw three touchdown passes in the rout and boosted his chances for an All-America berth. The UCLANS served notice that they will be no soft touch for the Trojans with a smash ing 34–⁠7 triumph over the Uni versity of Washington. The Huskies battled Southern California all the way before succumbing 1910 several weeks ago. California, the third Coast club with a chance for Rose Bowl honors, flattened Montana 60–⁠14 and take on Stanford, Zig losers to Oregon, Saturday in it’s finale.

Notre Dame, “down” after its Army victory, found North western a rugged foe again. The Wildcats, always have been tough for Notre Dame and the Irish needed all of their 20–⁠6 halftime lead to finally prevail 26–⁠19. The game proved the Irish are human, too, and served as an inspiration for Tulane and Southern California, last two foes for Notre Dame. Tulane was tied IT by Florida. That surprising feat by Florida was one of at least II form reversals of yesterday.
