The Wildcats gained 125 yards from scrimmage to Kansas' 100, making seven first downs while the Jayhawkers registered four. the the Aggie were eminently successful. They completed eight of twelve passes, tnterceptimr four more, while Kim Ran completed but six of fifteen trys, and' Intercepted only two.

BURG, International News Service 8tfT Correspondent. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 Interest In Pacific coast football will climax his season In two post season games, marking intersectlonal clashes. The University of Pennsylvania rlays the University of California, four times champions of the Far West, at Berkeley January 1, and the University of Southern California meets Syracuse here December 8.

Pennsylvania is regarded as having an excellent chance to defeat the Golden Bears, as California this season Is at low ebb so far as material is concerned. Only four veterans were on hand at Berkeley when Coach Andy Smith railed the blue and gold squad together. Captain Horrel, Carey and Mell will form the nucleus for the new California team, firiunt Weak. Prospects for the Bruins continuing their unbroken siring of victories are poorer than In years, In Smith's opinion. A different story may be told of the outlook at the University of Southern California.

Coach Llmer Henderson has flock of veterans on tap and the Trojans are regarded as likely candidates to upset the Bears from their high plnacle In coast football. The Trojans have the best prospects In history for a winning season, and when the Syracuse and U. S. C. elevens face each other here In December the Trojans may have a clean slate and the coast championship tucked beneath their shirts.

Washington nt Seattle will prove one of the Trojans' most formidable contenders. With a powerful machine md a weak schedule the Huskies may go through the sen son without an upset, but should IT. R. C. do the same thing the Trojans could easily and rightfully claim coast honors, as Washington is playing one of the lightest sched ules on record In the west.

Stantora a Menace. AVIth Glenn Wurner, former Pittsburgh nnd Carlisle Indian mentor, In charge ut Stanford the Cardinals will be exeedlngly dangerous. The Redshlrters are out for revenge for their defeats lust season at the hands of U. S. C.

and California. Ernie Nevers, called the greatest back ever turned out on the Pacific coast, will be the kingpin in Warner's outfit. Two Northwest teams playing In tne oast conference may spring a surprise ami prove contenders at least for Fur Western gridiron honors. They are Idaho and Montana. Idaho has a hard fighting team nnd Montana, making ics bow Into the coust conference this fall has plenty of material and a miiHer coach in Karl Clark, former! i niversity ot wasmngton anil Montana star end.

In 1915 the Mdntanans played a tie game with the powerful Syra cuse eleven. Oregon nnd the Oregon Aeales, both with new coaches and largely green men. are not considered as I oangerous by the larger schools. Washington State, with only 50 men reporting for practice, this yeur. Is regarded as weak, although Iti brilliant coach, E.

E. Exendine, may turn out a squad capable of winning a majority of Its schedule. HILDRETH INTIMATES THAT ZEV WON'T RACE AFTER THIS SEASON LATONIA. Oct. 1 Samuel C.

BY NEAL Copyright, 124 (New York World). Press Publishing Company The following nation wide survey of the 1924 football campaign has been made by this column's political expert: With the big games but a few weeks away the question of who will win the November championship is still very much up In the air. The Idea that "as Maine goes, so goes the nation" Is all wrong this year, lor Maine has already been beaten by the Connecticut Aggies.

The score was 3 to 0. This would indicate, If anything, that the farmers are go ing to knock somebody for a field Sentiment In Maeeuchusetts Is rather evenly divided. Half tha state seems to think Harvard hae a pretty good team this year, but there Is no denying that many leaders of thought believe that Harvard will lose to 'Yale sndjvell to break even with Princeton, The cheer leading at Cambridge Is well orgunlzed and the old timers profess to have confidence ln the Harvard machine. The most optimistic cheer leaders state Harvard's plurality over all opponents will be between 200 and 260 points. Connecticut must be classed In a doubtful slate of mind.

There is no doubt tha Yale management will get out the vote and register 80.000 capacity at the bowl on Saturday afternoons. Hut that by no means insures victory. If some one should pull a bone or spring Charley horse It' might turn victory Into defeat. Arrangements have been made by the leaders to have the gridiron covered with straw late this month to which way the wind blows. The New Jersey situation has split Princeton w'lde open.

The pUyers are demnndlng new Jerseys. They also claim they cannot win without Klenn Kut kleats. There Is much dissatisfaction aivd kicking In New Jersey. The kicks are averaging fifty five yards "apiece The ticket scalpers are unhappy nnd blame It onto their loss of patronage. In New Tork state the situation is even more complicated.

New York City concedes that Columbia will lose all but Its minor contests. But up state the new Cornell stadium has suengthed the Junior Midgets Will Play Aurora The Junior Midgets will play the 'Aurora Kewpln Twins today at i o'clock at the White City park. Both teams are reported to be primed for tills battle and a good game Is forcost. Dan O'Lenry, world's champion walker at the age of 84. will preform on the diamond by walking arourd tho bases 12 times in 10 minutes.

This is quite a feat for a man of 81 years and many will probable turn out Just for this one attraction. Besides walk in? around the bases O'Leary will mgairn two young men In an endurance test. Dun will undertake to walk one mile while two men, In relays, run two miles. The two oDoosing ball teams have conquered almost all the other fast teams In the surrounding country and tha clash will Drove eventful. The Junior Midgets annexed their thirty sixth victory of the season last Sunday when they defeated the Branson sluggers.

The Aurora team hss not played as many gsmes tuts year as the Junior Midgets but their record Is very good. Klrkpatrlck will be on the mound for the Junior Mldgetsi while Cowen is expected to do the hurling for the Kewple Twins.
