Six victories, one tie, and three defeats has been the history of past contests, and never has a Jones’ coached team suffered defeat on the Cardinal gridiron.
The entire football world will be awaiting the starting whistle with 88,-174 people packing the stadium and the remaining millions utilizing the courtesy of the National Broadcasting system. Never before has a football conteBt created such a furor or aroused excitement that a forthcoming middleweight boxing championship of the world has sunk far into Insignificance.
The Pacific coast, Far Western, and probably tho national football title will be determined as Coaches Jones and Warner present the two “self-admitted" greatest gridiron machines they have ever produced.
