The game will start at 11:30, Los Angeles time, and reports will be received by direct wire from the ball park in St. Louis. If you're in town follow every detail of the world's series with The Times ball struggle of the season be-f a crowd of 51.000 persons at the Coliseum yes-d a afternoon.

The score 19 to 0 was as convincing as the play of the Trojans, who showed marked Imp rovement over their per-! forinance against the Utah Aggies a 4 DON Willi AM i week ago. I The Slaters came south with th? announced intention of taking t.i? Trojans into camp and avenging their 13-to-12 defeat of last year. hut thev never had a ghost of a i 'I I4 i chance at any stags of the Strug- i eie- 1 TOO MUCH DON Oregon put up a bitter defence. but it was unable to stop Don Williams and the U.S.C. power plays or lasmon a aeiense ior wt cieve: aerial offense of Coach Howard Jones's boys.

The Trojans scored one touch- down In the first period and two in the third, Williams figuring I heavily in each score but only getting credit for two touch- downs. I The threat of the Oregon State offense never carried closed than the U.S.C. 30-yard line at any stage of the game, and thoiigh the invaders made eleven first downs to fourteen for U.S.C, they were nev- I er dangerous. If they had any scoring plays they failed to put them on exhibition. They tiled several long forward passes, but there was little deception to them and the Trojans simply camped under the ball and batwti it down as the Oregon men waited to haul It In.

READY FOR 'EM Last year the Oregonians mads things, very annoying with but the Trojans had them figured to a nicety yesterday od their headsr-up defense against this mode of attack was one of the big features of the game. The big'sr-st scare the Trojans hat! i was in the third quarter, right they had manufactured a tom-h- i down by blocking Whitlock's puni back of the goal line. Maple, the Oregon quarterback. I took the klckoff 10-yard line and galloped straight up the field for a 43-yard gain. It took a flving tackle from the rear by Llovd Thomas to bring him down I and save the Trojans the ignominy of having a kickoff run back on them for a touchdown two weeks in a row.

I On a 7-yard pass from Mania to StrifT and short excursions into 1 the line by Sherwood and Gtlmore, the Staters advanced to the Tro- i jan 30-yard line, but promptly lost BY IRVING VAUGHAN ST. LOUIS (Mo.) Oct. 6. There was a slightly mournful touch to the welcoming St. Louis gave lt champion uar-dinals when they came back this evening, closely pursued by their cocky, confident, current world's series foes.

The town was glad to see the Cards and all that, but those stinging defeats 1 in the first two games at New York had a depressing effect and there was TOM no comfort for the populace In the thought that what hope remains is confined to so limited a space as the right arm of one hudan. This is Jess Haines, for two uonths the reigning hurler of the Cardinals' staff and the man who will be called on to carry the burden tomorrow when the fall classic is resumed with the third chapter of action. If Haines ran come through and the Card attack can show what It hasn't shown so far, the series will be far from over. But if Haines fails as did Sher-, del and Alexander, the Yanks may sweep up the event In four straight, at most five, and thus the American League will be able to feci it has atoned for what the same Cardinals did to its prestige in the fall of 1926. ZACHAIiY DUE TO HURL Although there is some doubt about his choice because of his two straight victories, and he is in a po-nition of being able to gamble 'a bit, Mite Huggins, boss of the healthiest bunch of cripples that ever engaged in world's titular toil, probably will come up with old Tom Zachary tomorrow.

Huggins could very well take a chance on Fred Heimach or even his kid right-hander. Henry Johnson, and either selection might get away with the assignment successfully, but the fact that Zachary is long in harness and has been through the world's series mill are the factors by which the Yank smef will be guided. Huggins probaoly won't be influenced by the fact that Zachary never has had much luck in the St. Louis park. If Ilajncs is to do to the Yank iJonters what his predecessors battle failed to do, it will be because of the functioning of a "screw ball," so known because of the dazzling twists it takes in its course of flight.

Haines can burn 'em through if he chooses and can hook 'em when the occasion warrants, but his cliief item is that tantalizing slow cne that, if properly controlled, can dazzle the best of batters. And besides this seems to be a scries of slow-balling so Haines will be conducting himself according: to the privilege style. To date the Cardinals as batters have shown nothing but this can bo attributed not to weakness, but to the fact that they were unlucky enough to run smack into two pitchers who were enjoying rare Hoyt's three-hit triumph in th3 opener at New York was almost the outstanding achievement of his career. Pipgrass has seldom pitched as he pitched yesterday. If he hadnt been given a big lead he might never have lasted half the game.

Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite's big Wisconsin team did it today, overwhelming Rockne's men, 22 to 6, before a frenzied throng of 40,000 spectators. Then he saw Stanford come back and roll up four touchdowns while Oregon was making one more for a total score of 26 to 12 In Stanford's favor. Still the old gentleman showed not the slightest excitement. He saw both football elevens, his own and the Webfooters, go simply Ber-s in a ragged, but wildly thrilling first-half welter of touchdowns in which five were scored all told.

Mary's stiffened, stopping California in its tracks, and taking the ball on downs. A punt saved the situation for the time being. Although the Bears worked their way back to the 7-yard line before the period ended, the drive went for naught when St. Mary's intercepted a pass and got out of danger.

This was State's closest approach to the- Trojans' last chalk mark, and although Sherwood, Metten, Gilmore and Ha- pie proved to be a neat quartet of barks they never seemed to have the plays with which to buffalo the opposition. On the other hand the Trojans unfurled variations of their usual power plays and with Capt. Hibbs playing right end instead of his usual position at left tackle on the offense they were even stronger on the right side than in the past.
