(P) Professional nomads of links Journeyed westward to California today, one down to a virtual unknown In the winter's round of open golf tournaments begun with the Oklahoma City competition which closed yesterday.

Horton Smith, Joplin, youngster, whose knocking at the door of golf fame finally was answered, was aided by an ace in scoring 288 to win the seventy-two-hole competition and first prize of $1000. His hole-in-one came on the 119-yard eleventh, and gave him an advantage which aided him in staving off a remarkable finish by Ed Dudley, Hollywood, who finished second with 289, for $700. Tommy Armour, Scottish master of the irons, was third with 292. Other finishers in orer were Al Espinosa, Chicago, 294; William Mehlhorn, New York, 296; Joe Mathews, Kansas City, 303; Bob MacDonald, Chicago, 305. college team of San Francisco at Ke-zar, stadium Saturday.

The score was 13 to 0. The first touchdown was made by Merrick, in the first period after Boyle's thirty-nine-yard dash had put' the ball on St. Ignatius' one-foot line. Merrick missed the goal. Stennett crashed over for the second touchdown in the second period.

Merrick kicked the goal. St. Ignatius completed several forward passes but was unable to put the ball across the goal line. Kings in the earliest days were merely the "fathers of- families" and the word is derived from the same source as "kin." PREPARING FOR Displaying the class that made him winner over Charley Miller in San Francisco recently, Bert Foster, Panamanian battler, worked out before large crowds at the local arena Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The two men meet Wednesday night.

Foster claims that he took the last match on short notice, and consequently he was not up to his usual form. He further states that Miller will be up against a far better boy this fight than the last time the two met. Foster is trained to the minute for this ten-round contest with Charley Miller and most- Reno fans figure him to be a sure shot over the fair haired boy. Miller, who is preparing to enter the university has been on the road daily and has made desperate preparations to defend his lead over the Panamanian. Eddie Landon, who meets Les Cary in the semi-final of six rounds, has been sparring daily with Miller and is in good shape for his Reno bouts.

Eddie, when in condition, is too smart for the modern type of fighter and despite the fact-that Les Cary knocked out Jimmy Reilly, in Santa Rosa this week, Landon is no set-up.

Otto has been gaily over everything fired at him in Chicago rings but he has yet to battle anyone as tough as Paulino. Paulino ha9 met hitters Deiore and outside of a grunt or two the Spaniard never seemed particularly bothered by them. The chances are Von Porat will see more elbows tonight than he ever saw in one ten-round fight before.

The experts think that if there is any wood-chopping done, Paulino will do it and are backing their opinion at from eight to five to two to one. The semi-final brings into one and the same ring Tiny Roebuck, Choctaw Indian Behemoth, and Arthur De-kuh, of Italy, who grosses around 220 pounds. At that, Dekuh will be "conceding" about twenty pounds to Roebuck. FOOTBALL TITLE SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.

---Zp M(LV VOOE ESV WOCO, DOPE SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Gleeful Bear supporters, peering Into the future forsee California triumphing, over Washington, and visualize a ttunnlng climax that would have Stanford on the short end of the score two weeks later. As California played to a scoreless tie with Southern California and the la'tter vanquished Stanford 10-0 Saturday, Bear followers have some right to be enthusiastic. The only other contest of conference bearing next week-end brings University of California at Las Angeles, and Washington State college Into action at Portland. The big W.

S. C. team crushed Idaho 26-0 Saturday, while U. C. L.

A. was Idle. The Staters have won three conference tames and lost one to California and are expected to have no difficulty in brushing aside M. C. L.

A. which has rjpped its two conference engage- rncxits. Southern California's Trojans, their confidence increased a hundredfold by the victory over Stanford that surprised the West, have a non-conference game scheduled with Arizona next Saturday. Trojan hopes for the conference title hinge on victories over W. S.

C. and Idaho and the elimination of California by either of the latter's two remaining foes. The Cardinals of Stanford, victims of one of those upsets that cyclone across the gridirons often to remove favored teams, engage Santa Clara university in a non-conference game next week. Football's greatest upset in the West was the chief topic of discussion as eighty thousand persons, spectators Saturday, mulled over the events leading to Southern California's stunning victory over Stanford's Cardinals. the final gun cracked its signal through the reaches of the huge Los Angeles coliseum, the towering scoreboards carried the figures Trojan, 10; Cardinals, 0.

They told a story of an alert Southern California eleven that saw and seized the breaks; that was outplayed at the line of scrimmage so cast its fortunes into the air. Blocked on their own Jine plays and beaten back by a crushing Stanford offensive for most of the 'first two periods, the Trojans came back Just before the first half ended to score a touchdown and make the try for point. Three passes brought the touchdown. A place kick in the third uppclcd. with Capt.

Jess Hlbbs booting ffL ball from the eighteen-yard line, netted the other three points. I OI It IIANCKS Stanford had a chance to score four times in the first half, reaching the three-yard line three times, and the ten-yard line once, but failed through fumbles, mlsplays, and a timely Trojan tackle. In the matter of yardage, the Cardinals gained 252 yards to 143 for Southern California. The game put Stanford in the ranks of the defeated and leaves only Southern California and California as the Coast conference teams who have not lost a game. -Southern California and California already have played to a scoreless tie and each has two conference games to play.

The Trojans have yet to meet Idaho and Washington State, while California must face Washington and Stanford. California's Bears kept their conference standing Intact with a deci-eive 13-0 score over Oregon. Coming to Eerkeley with a heavy eleven and supposedly recently acquired ttrong offensive, the Northerners were no match for the Bears. Only once in the game, in the last period, were the Oregonians able to penetrate the California defensive sufficient to reach Bear territory. After two scoreless periods, California came through for a touchdown in the third, and pushed over another Just before the game ended.

Other conference games ended as expected, Oregon State rolled over a weak Montana team, 44-0, while Washington State pounded Idaho into submission under a 2Q-0 score. Washington had no difficulty in swamping College of Pugct Sound. STABS AND JABS HY WILLIAMS Philetus McKinney, sixty-year-old pitcher of Mission, S. says he won't hang up his glove until he pitches a no hit-no run game. After he has had a little more maybe the National League will grab thi3 youngster up then he'll have his chance against the St.

Louis Cardinals. The scouts, who the last couple of years have been sending up all the pitchers with whiskers, must have overlooked a bet in McKinney. Nibs Price, California coach, says he prefers brunette halfbacks as they are better ground gainers than blonds. That lets out Minnesota. Stanley Cochrane, Mack's catcher, who was chosen as the most valuable player this year, used to be a dishwasher in Boston.

Maybe that's where he learned about using the bean. There's a grand chance for the ln-Kplied headline writer. Thus the story of Cochrane's life might be titled. rag to Whlek-broom." And thatll be about enough of that. Be that as it may, there is ah end at Lebanon valley named Heller.

AGGIES A fifteen-yard pass to the two-yard line in the second quarter of the football game between the California Aggies and Nevada at Sacramento Saturday enabled the Aggies to win a 6 to 0 victory over the Wolf Pack.

The pass was followed by two line bucks that pushed the ball over the line but the Aggies failed to convert. Nevada had few chances to score and its line was weak while the back-field lacked the punch to break through the Farmers' Nevada's team, weakened by the loss of Bailey, Farnsworth and Newton, did not play a game comparable with its last Saturday's contest. Nevada meets the California Teachers at Fresno next Saturday. While the first team was in Sacramento the Nevada Frosh met the Sacramento Junion College on Mackay field and lost, 12 to 0, in a game that was slow and in which the freshmen lost many opportunities to score by falling to take advantage of scoring DEER ARE SHOT LAS VEGAS, Nov. 5.

5. (P) The football returns are coming In slowly but surely to Indicate the drift of championship aspirations. Sharply reduced by a Saturday of startling upsets, the field of contenders is likely to be whittled down, a lot more by the end of the week. Where Michigan, Navy and Notre Dame hit the skids earlyvin the campaign, to pass out of the title picture it took the first November flurry to remove from the vanguard such stalwart arrays as New York university, Stanford, Illinois and Colorado college, not to overlook Texas Christian, Texas university, Clemson and a few others of major or minor degree. If the schedule-makers had been notified before-hand they could hardly have turned out a better Job than this week in bringing together out-ctanding contenders for championship honors in every main area of gridiron conflict.

The three major affairs is as many different sectors find West Point staking its national championship hopes against the Invasion of Notre Dame at the Yankee Stadium. Iowa and Ohio State battling for the Big Ten leadership at Columbus while Georgia Tech meets the charge of Vanderbilt's Commodores at Atlanta in the big battle of the Southern conference race. Pour of these teams Iowa, Army, Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech have been neither beaten nor tied. Ohio State has a tie with Princeton as' the only blemish on its slate while Notre Dame, after early reversals, is moving along at a rate to give the Army something to worry about. There are at least a half dozen other "naturals" on the program for November 10.

Georgetown, fresh from its upset of New York university in the mud ati the Yankee Stadium, runs smack into another undefeated contender for Eastern honors, Carnegie. It is an odd circumstance that these twOj high-powered outfits match their speed, skill and brawn on a neutral gridiron at Albany, N. at the same time another Eastern team with a clean slate, Boston college, faces anything but a soft afternoon against Fordham. Nebraska, after riding rough-shod over three "Big Six" rivals in the Missouri valley sector, has a chance to clinch the football championship by beating Oklahoma. Just at present the Corn Huskers, riding high on the crest of a winning streak, hold undisputed sway in the valley.

They may come East November 24 to play the Army with one of the finest records of any team. These teams are unbeaten and among the outstanding conference title holders, but on the play 60 far Tech and Florida bulk more formidably. Tennessee, a fifth championship aspirant, figures to have another easy Saturday against Sewanee, which was flattened by the Florida steam-roller last- Saturday. Clemson, after six straight victories, dropped from the top through defeat by "Ole Southern Methodist, having upset SATURDAY FOOTBALL SEEN AT GLANCE BY THE ASSOCIATED TRESS Sast West Point, Georgetown and Carnegie lead reduced list of unbeaten and untied teams, which also includes Boston" college and' Villanova. New York university's first reversal suffered at hands of Georgetown in main upset.

Western conference big ten Illinois, 1927 champions, eliminated by Michigan, which scored first victory of season in major form reversal, Iowa and Ohio State, two remaining teams with clean conference slaes, battle this week. Missouri valley big six Nebraska, adding Kansas scalp to those of Iowa State and Missouri, holds undisputed and apparently secure lead. Oklahoma eliminated by Iowa State and Missouri upset by former conference rival, Drake. Southern conference Clemson, after six straight victories, swamped by University of Mississippi and dropped from lead-sharing group, now including Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Florida, Vanderbilt and George. Tech and Vanderbilt meet this week; so do Florida and Georgia.

Southwestern conference Southern Methodist assumes undisputed lead by overthrowing University of Texas. Texas Christian, after six-game winning streak, upset by Baylor. Rocky Mountain conference University of Utah, 1926 title-holders, clinched undisputed place at top by downing Colorado college after previously beating two other contenders, Colorado Aggies and University of Colorado. Pacific Coast conference Stanford's title hopes upset by Southern California's victory. University of Southern California and California, which played scoreless tie, now share lead, latter adding scalp of Oregon to collection.

the University of Texas while Baylor was bowling over the previously unbeaten Texas Christian eleven, romps into an old rival, the Texas Aggies, this week. Southern Methodist not only hopes to gain another notch in the title fight but obtain revenge for the defeat by the Aggies last season. Utah, with three successive victories that have put the Tigers into undisputed leadership or the Rocky Mountain conference parade. Journeys to Omaha to play Creighton In a non-conference With Stanford knocked out of the running, to the surprise of most critics, by Southern California's Trojans, main interest in the Pacific Coast conference centers this week in the California-Washington game at Seattle. California's share In the con ference leadership with Southern Cali fornia will be at stake but Washington has offered little so far, aside from the sensational scoring of its halfback ace.

Chuck Carroll, to give the Golden Bears any serious worry. There should be some consolation prize for the contest at Baltimore between the Navy and Michigan. Both have rallied after getting away to the worst starts they have ever known. The Navy has now won three in a row after dropping three straight while Michigan, after four successive set-backs, staged a big come-back Saturday to knock over Illinois, the 1927 Big Ten champions. s.

w. Longabaugh (Incumbent) for Justice of the Peace AS WEST POINT TEAM HAS PLAYERS OF BY IIEVKY L. FARKELL There are some transfers on the Army football squad who can be used in another' long' yell against the advantages of the liberal eligibility rules of West Point's athletic system. It is probable, especially if the Army survives as the team of 1928, that suggestions will be made again that the team should be known as the West Point A. C.

A few of the best men on the 1928 team entered the academy from other Institutions of the major classification but the field was not cluttered up with Ail-Americans from other colleges as it was a few years ago. Cagle, the sensational back, came from Southwestern Louisiana Institute, but that isn't listed as a major league spot. Murrell came from Minnesota. Sprague from Texas, Nave from Iowa State, Allen from Virginia Military Institute, and Hammack from Virginia Poly. SOME DID, SOME DIDVT Among the substitutes Huber came from Georgia Aggies, Walsh from Wisconsin, Gibner from Stanford, Fulton from Minnesota-) Piper from Rose Poly, and Marshall from Pennsylvania.

But on the regular starting team you will find Carlmark from Moline high school, Hall from McAlister, high school, Dibb from Jordan high school, Perry from Bethel Prep, Messinger from New York Military Academy, and O'Keefe from Devitt Prep. Twenty-nine, of the forty-one players on the squad went to the Point from high schools and preparatory schools. THIS IS CONSISTENCY Bill Yeckley, captain of the Princeton rv-shman football team, is a son of Ed Yeckley, of Lorain, one of Penn State's greatest players of twenty years ago. When Bill was a little- fellow the father dreamed of the day when he too would go to Penn State and crash into the varsity team. But he sent him to Princeton.

And that's the story. The elder Yeckley has been one of the leaders of an alumni faction opposed to the administration of Hugo Bezdek as athletic director and football coach at Penn State. And he has been particularly active in a movement seeking the release of Bezdek. And as he puts it: simply couldn't let the boy go to my old school and try to play football for Bezdek." WROTE HIS OWN TICKET All during their baseball careers Connie Mack and Jack Dunn, late owner of the Baltimore Orioles, were fast friends. Dunn's admiration for the veteran Philadelphia manager approached almost the degree of worship.

When Dunn decided to sell Lefty Grove several years ago he could have bargained with at least six major league clubs, but he preferred to give Mack the Inside. Mack wanted him, of course, and when terms were being discussed Dunn told Connie to write his own 'PRIZE "WINNERS ZEROJLENE the modem oil A STANDARD OIL PRODUP, EXPERENC A Vik Consolidated Cigar Corp.
