A week ago Stengel's lads were riding the wave of a three-to-one advantage over the Seals and managed to terminate matters quickly before the afternoon was half over. But beating the Seals is one thing and beating the Angels another.

Bill Kelly's pennant winners have been torrid the last three weeks and the Acorns have appeared to be just another victim as were Portland and San Francisco. Besides wrapping up the $15,000 gravy package by beating the Seals in a post-season game, the Angele-nos appear to be odds on favorites to duplicate their holdings- within the next two days. HURLERS OVERWORKED If they should win the first game, Pacific Coast League operations will be over for the year. If the Oaks should surprise, another game will be held immediately thereafter. And should the Oaks continue to deflate the league champions, it will be necessary to hold games Monday and Tuesday nights.

The Trojan victory evened the intersectional series at three each and was Southern Cal's first win over Ohio since 1938. Last year the Bucks triumphed, 21-0. Coach Jeff Cravath used all of his traveling squad of 44 in the contest, and had the field flooded with third and fourth stringers in the final period when the westerners marched for two touchdowns after having scored once in each of the first three periods.
