EN ROUTE, Oct. 27.

"Our players will pull something absolutely new in the Berkeley Bowl tomorrow," the Trojan leader said. "New uniforms and new stuff.

"I Just hope it doesn't rain ltll spoil our new uniforms and might drown the tuba players." TROJAN BAND IN FINE FETTLE The Trojan leader Harold WlUyum Roberts, world traveler, baton Juggler, apostle of enthusiasm and sworn enemy of sour notes was discussing the Trojan band.

Now is the time for all good sports writers to come up with a story beginning "Determined to do or die for dear old (fill in name of your school) our fighting gridmen tonight await, etc, etc, etc." Not feeling that way and not caring much for horse-radish anyhow, the best I can do is to present the following unvarnished facts. (1.) The football teams of the University of Southern California and the University Festivities are scheduled to begin at 2:15. There will be no preliminary contest.

The Webfeet, twenty-eight strong, arrived via Espee yesterday morning and, following a luncheon with Oregon Alumni, hied themselves to the coliseum where they went through a very light workout The drill was shorter than an Arctic day when the nights are six months long. The boys ran on the field, galloped hither and thither and retired. "WE MAY WIN." SAYS PRINK "Just unllmbering the legs," said Prink Calllson, Oregon coach. "And say, this weather is simply dandy. ANCIENT HISTORY Hold it this way and who knows, GAME FAILS TO we may win tomorrow." Since Trojans and Bears resumed American football hostilities in 1915 the rivals have tangled sixteen times.

California has won eight times, Troy aix, with two ties.

(Exclusive) If there is any fact if we may be so bold hes Mikulak a rose. Without a doubt that's one of the worst gags ever perpetrated on the palpitating public. Then there's the one about Jack Rushlow, sub fullback. When he's in there smacking the line, the Ducks sing "Rushlow, sweet chariot" That's not quite as bad as Bruce Russell's cartoon about Chuck Wishard, the Duck end. Bruce says the Ducks will win if they Wishard enough.

But that's neither here nor there. What everyone's interested in is who's going to win this game. There appears to be a preponderance of opinion hereabouts that the mighty men of Oregon will wind np victors when the sun, If any, sets today. BRUINS PICKED TO WIN Considering all the facta nrn nnrt "WHO'S AFRAID OF ETC. ETC.

ETC." "Then, with the band tootling the well-known tune, the Bear blows down the first two but the brick one stands up. "He crawls in the brick house, there is a terrible explosion, and he comes scampering out with his hide all tattered and the three little pigs assisted by the tromboneslaugh him off the field." So if you hear it over the radio that's it And don't think that these band stunts which are almost as much of an attraction at Trojan games as the game itself are inspirations of the moment. They require lots of work. of California clash in their annual game here tomorrow afternoon. (2.) They are two of the very best football teams in the United States and probably any place else.

(3.) They're evenly matched, with more good football players on each squad than any coach could possibly use. Neither team has lost a conference game but both have been tied this year. (4.) It ought to be a swell game in fact these teams have never met in recent years at Berkeley without having the customers on the verge of apo- plexy. It is perfectly clear to even a truth in the saying "uneasy lies that head that wears a crown" it was not apparent at this quiet retreat tonight as the Trojan football Redlands Wins Over con and tossing everything into the squad prepared for slumber on the KEZAR STADIUM (San Francisco) Oct. 27.

(Ft With a crushing offense that scattered the opposition all over the bawl, St. Mary's Gaels made their farewell bow today before heading east by trouncing University of Nevada's Wolves, 61-0. Thirty thousand fans, half of them youngsters admitted for the price of 10 cents, sat in on the rout that saw Coach Ed Madigan's husky squad roll up the biggest score In the football history of the college.

ever played here. Only in the opening quarter and in the last few minutes of the game, when the lowliest Gael reserves were on the field were the Wolves able to hold rivals on fairly even terms. St Mary's shoved over a eounter a few minutes after the kick-off. Four more were rushed across in the second, three more in the third and one the last period. The Gael line tore the Nevada defense to shreds while the backs galloped through holes big enough to drive a load of hay through.

Every touchdown was scored on ground plays and after drives that ranged from 66 yards down to half that distance. Bernard Schaeffer, 204-pound guard, blocked a kick in the second period and recovered the ball to ramble 51 yards for the only points that came from a "break." Following the game the Gaels entrained for New York, where they will play Fordham's Rams November 4. indication of any inward turbulence. That scoreless tie with Oregon State last week did a great deal to release the tension under which the Trojans have been performing ever since their winning streak assumed sufficient proportions to attract national attention. Jones and his assistants brought the squad of thirty-seven players into San Jose this morning and then traveled thirty miles by bus to this picturesque spot.

Immediately after their arrival the Trojans donned grid uniforms, lined up on the first fairway and ran through their complete repertoire of plays. The practice was not long and the players had the rest of the day to themselves except for blackboard instruction. During the late afternoon a special movie operator arrived and the athletes gazed at one of the latest cinema offerings. Another program was run off during the evening. Howard Jones canceled all radio talks, dinner speeches and everything of this nature to remain with his squad during the entire day and evening.

The players will eat lunch here tomorrow and then drive thirty miles by bus to the Berkeley Memorial Stadium. "I regard the game as a toss-up," said Jones tonight. "Personally, I have a lot of respect for the California team, and I know our players feel the same way about tomorrow's game. Errors may play an important part In the outcome and I hope it Isn't our misfortune to make too many of them. From the start of the season I have regarded California as a team of great possibilities and I expect to see the Bears play their best game tomorrow.

We will try to match their efforts." Jones made one slight change in his starting line-up. Gordon Clark will open at left halfback instead of Bob McNeish. Cal Clemens will be at right halfback, with Walt Shannon to spell him. The line is the same as usual, with Brick Bright casual observer that the atmosphere up here is charged with electricity. Trojan and Bear rooters have never been noted for the terms of endearment with which they greet one another, and there isn't likely to be much kissing in the streets tomorrow.

HOT STUFF Ever since the Trojan-St. Mary's game northern press has been filled with a ceaseless flow of vitriolic gibes, the purport of which is that the only thing the officials failed to do on the occasion of the Trojans' 14-to-7 victory was to wear S.C. uniforms. Tonight the two teams are camped out at secluded spots near' by, having been wrapped In the sheets under the loving care of Character Builders H. H.

Jones and Barnacle Bill Ingram, who also coach football In the morning they will be fed a good meal, charged up to fighting pitch by reading of derogatory remarks made in a rash moment by coaches, friends, alumni or rooters of the other eleven, and after giving the boys time to let these insults sink in, they will be let loose at one another at about 2:15 p.m. The Trojans are bringing up four or five trainloads of rooters, alumni and students, not to mention those who are coming by boat, motor and airplane. Something like 25,000 Los Angeles people will be present to give the Cardinal and Gold vociferous support. The huge concrete basin with its 77,500 seats will probably be full to the brim, and overflowing, when the teams take to the field. Way up on Deadbeat Hill, which commands a bird'e-eye view of the gridiron, the impecunious but athletic fans will cling to their precarious perch and do their best to enjoy a long-distance thrill Weather conditions, which havt been eyed with considerable nervousness by the Trojans, promise to be favorable on the morrow.

(Exclusive) Cecil Cushman's befuddling Red-lands passing attack hit Walt Her-reid's San Diego State Aztecs here tonight, leaving them dazed, dizzy and on the short end of a 13-to-0 score in a crucial Southern California Conference grid game.

The victory was the Bulldogs' fourth straight victory of the current season. Passes were directly responsible for both Redlands touchdowns. The tallies came in the second quarter. The principals executing the passing offensive for the Bulldogs, as in previous games, were Earl Bandy, Dale Perkins, Howard Nicholson, and Peterson. The first score came with fatal effect.

Standing on the San Diego 35-yard line Bandy lateraled to Perkins, who flipped the bounding ball to Peterson for a 10-yard gain. Bandy then pased to Peterson for 11 additional yards. Bandy then flipped one deftly to Perkins for the touchdown. Perkins failed to convert. The Bulldogs initiated another drive a few minutes later, rolling merrily along on the wheels of the same destructive passing assault This time it started on the Redlands 23.

A lateral, Bandyto Perkins, who forwarded to Nicholson, put the ball on San Diego's 43. A pass, Bandy to Perkins, netted 7 yards.

Much of that will be decided this afternoon. The Bruins haupn't HOW STUNTS ARE ARRANGED They have a stunt committee consisting of Bou-' dreau and Arthur Lewis, the band and chorus instructors; es Hoag-land and James Fulton, band and chorus managers; Sergt.

The whole band rehearsed all Thursday afternoon, had a couple of other drills of three hours each, and rehearse at a Berkeley high school Just before the game, MANY DETAILS TO LOOK AFTER Stunts can only last about half of the fifteen-minute half-time period so they have to be carefully worked out Manager Hoagland has to see that all the "props" are taken on the trip including the little pony that pulls the big drum and all that sort of stuff.

WHY MANAGERS GO MAD The manager has lots to worry about, besides being sure not to forget any of the props. A couple of years ago they took Monty Montana and his horse to Berkeley, to be part of the stunt, and the horse got to rarln' in the baggage car and nearly strangled himself on his halter.

A favorite trick at Berkeley is for the high school kids to snatch the players' hats and scamper playfully away with them. the St. Mary's band lost several chromium-plated helmets that may and asked for an escort out of the Coliseum at the local game. told them that we don't play that way down here" said Mr. Roberts with great dignity.

(fl5) Pulling into Seattle tonight for its annual gridiron engagement with the Washington Huskies, Stanford's football crew found Itself rated a slight favorite in spite of a forecast of occasional rain and the fact it will start vithout practicing on the Washington field. Hoping to gain back the confidence of their Seattle followers by scoring a surprise victory, the Huskies wound np their training activities with a snappy, light drill.
