  Up5ET5 IN FOOTBALL SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3-iRt- Far Western football took a drub- ping on the important intersectional fronts last weekend Meanwhile the Coast Conference championship race saw one of the top choices sidetracked, at least temporarily, in humping upset. Stanford, Washington and Idaho ran second best against cross country opposition. Notre Dame, with fullback Emil Sitko furnishing the drive, bowled over Washington 27–⁠7. By the same count another visiting powerhouse, Michigan, in- flicted the first defeat of the sea- son on Stanford. Idaho’s trip to the Southwest proved a sad experience with Texas racking up @ ee-7 win. The conference scramoles defi- nitely tatbed the University of California at Los Angeles as solid contender, perhaps the team to Eeat for the title. Any lingering doubts were dispelled by the man. ner in which U.C.L-A. measured defending co-champion Oregon. The score was 35–⁠27 and the win ners led all the way. oregon drew up to within point of new Coach Henry “RadTSanders’ hard run ming squad in the Friday night clash, but U.C.L.A. was the boss in the clutch. Stanford’s youngish club held the nations mythical champion of last season, Michigan, to a TO lead at halftime but fell to pieces before a three touchdown rally in the third quarter. Washington was with Notre Dame for the first two periods but succumbed to the Irish spurt in the second half. The preseason conference choice, Southern California, will be called upon to uphold coast honors this WCCk dS dilloU otiOAiS OAiAO ocoIS’ Southern California hardly had to get out of second gear to take State apart 35–⁠7 last Saturday.
