Three separate sessions, called for morning, afternoon and night, failed to bring the electors into accord. When they adjourned, to meet again at Hollywood, January 21. they were no nearer to a decision than when the first roll was called.

Thirty or more ballots were taken. At the start, names of five candidates were before the directors. They were Harry A. Williams, president for the past five years; William H. McCarthy of San Francisco: Judge W.

McCredie of Portland; John Sul(lvan of Seattle, and Al Baum Sab Francisco. Adjournment followed a hopeless deadlock. In which th closing ballots carried four votes each for WUliams and McCarthy. Five votes are necessaly to elect. Ths muddled presidential situation means that Williams will remain in office until at least January 21.

In any case, the size of the out pouring was not complimentary to MichiKan and certainly not to the Navy. There seemed a sort of lack lustre note in the cheering of the Middies. "Anchors aweigh!" lacked the usual zest and zing. The fact is that the Middies miss the Army game and they do not hesltute to admit It. So far as the Midshipmen are concerned they want to play West Point Irrespective of tho system of eligibility that obtains on.

The uncarying was that the football season at Annapolis has lacked flavor, none of that klck.tot which conies of looking forward to a traditional battle with the Cadets. And all the Midshipmen believe Implicitly that football relationship with the Army will -be renowed next year.

According to the gossip the Navy may be indllned to reverse Its attitude toward eligibility in one of two ways. First, West Point would be asked to agree to a rule that students may not play more than three years of varsity football, the years that they may have played on college elevens included. But this rule would not apply tu: Of Cardinals ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13.

When informed tonight of the release of Roger Bresnahan, by the New York Giants, President Sam Breadon of the Cardinals, refused to state whether Bresnahan was being considered as the 1929 manager'of the Cardinals. Breadon, however, said he would name his. manager before pecember 1. "I will hot say who is a candidate for the position, Breadon explained, "but I will state that I intend to select the manager before the first of December." Bill McKechnie, who piloted the Bed Birds to a pennant this year, recently conferred with Breadon but no announcement was made regarding at1929 contract.

An alternative proposal bo a rule permitting four years of varsity football, In- eluding years In which a cadet footballer played on a college outfit. On the Navy's part she would continue to adhere to the three year Htlpujutlon. Of course there may be "nothing In this, but unquestionably there Is a sentiment so strong in the naval academy and throughout the service In favor of a restoration of the service game that some decided move seems altogether likely.

't; When the Cougars played Call-' fornia they were beaten by their own inexperience outsteadied by an older and headier team. They lost that game largely through the yardage lost by six blocked kiaks, four of which were recovered by the Bears. But In that game these tearing sophomores from the North plflyed a'savage off-tackle drive, wfth its diversified end run and 'cuVback, that battered through tie Bears' with far mqre regular-' lfcr and precision than the Trojans ever achieved, and In their first Inarch to a touchdown It was only because they went to pieces with 'the goal line In sight that they failed to drive over the line. This may sound more like a prayer than a Judgment but Washington State appeared to have better running backs than Southern California, and1 there Is little question but what Porter Lalnhart Is a better ball carrier than Don Wll- -llams. Lalnhart does not appear to be as and not as quick on the cut-back plays, but he is the near-' est approach to Bruce Caldwell or Red Grange, with that auperb eliding style of running, that weaves a ghostlike trail through a field of clutching backs.v that the east has seen in several years.

He picked up a blocked kick 16 yards back of where he had.at-' tempted to kick, In the California game arid he whirled, steadied himself -to avoid Bancroft who came charging through and then glided as slippery as an eel In graceful, clear back to the line of scrimmage before he was brought down. It, was of the prettiest plays seen In the Berkeley stadium this year, Ian Horan, an Oakland boy. Is a veteran in the backfleld and he and Teddy Rowher, they- quarterback, form with Lain- hart a trio of backs that are about as effective working the off -tackle cat-back attack of the Cougars, as any coach could ask. Rohwer Is a driving, elusive type of runner and Is a constant, danger running back kicks. The Trojan line la probably a little more solid than the Cougar line, but largely through And remember this: Washington State, with its fiery group of sophomore stars, will be a coming team, and a much improved team over Its showing against' the Bears.

Babe Hollingberry will see to that. The Trojans. on the other will hofvbe much better than they have been, If the Cougars win that game, It will throw the, whole coast loop Into a turmoil. All California will have to do to (finch the title is to win 'the Big Game against Stanford. That would end all argument.

But that same 'afternoon the Cougars will be playing the Washington Huakle and without knowing how the Bears will come out, they will have to beat Washington to wm the title in -case the Bears lose. But; It the' Cougars should lose to the Huskies, after beat- ing Southern and -Stanford wins the Big Game, i the Cards would be Pacific by reason of having played one more con-. ference game than either Call- fornia or Southern California. Thh Pacific Coast race i not over yet, by a long shot and next Saturday's games may whirl It Into the hottest Cinish It has ever nown with four Heams in a race or th money and none of them daring-to slacken their pace until the. final whistle is sounded.
