Office gives shortest route to Pasadena
The simplest, shortest route to Saturday’s Rose Bowl game for those traveling by automobile was issued by Arnold Eddy’s office yesterday.
Regardless from what point in Los Angeles, drive to Figueroa street, following it to Arroyo Seco parkway. Follow Arroyo Seco until it reaches Orange Grove avenue. Turn left on Orange Grove and proceed from there to the Bowl.
Adequate parking space adjoining on the east and west sides of the nearby golf course is provided for hundreds of cars.
Those depending on public transportation should take a Pacific Electric car from the downtown depot into Pasadena. From there buses will be available to take passengers to the bowl.
Persons who have attended previous New Year’s games in the Bowl emphasized an early departure, not only to safely navigate the expected heavy traffic, but also to procure parking space. The completion and opening of the last part of the Arroyo Seco is expected by Saturday and this will aid in the dispersion of the traditional heavy traffic.

A resolute Trojan football team, definite underdogs according to the experts, but none-the-less facing the task of upholding SC’s unbeaten Tournament of Roses record, takes to the Rose Bowl turf tomorrow afternoon at 2 to play the undefeated, untied Washington Huskies, themselves seeking the first victory at Pasadena in their school’s history.
Despite the lack of intersectional flavor and the cancellation of the colorful pre game parade, the tilt still retains its traditional color and features the two top elevens battling for tiie coast crown.
Troy has played a full schedule, defeating all collegiate comers and holding their university rivals to but a pair of scores in six games. Two of fhe nation’s strongest service outfits downed the Cardinal and Gold rallhawks to hand Cra« vath’s prctiges their only ss^j-vtti.
The decision of four of the northern division schools to abandon football this year left Washington as the only northwest power represented. The Huskies were forced to look to Whitman, the Second and Fourth air force for competition.
A four-game slate was devised and the northerners breezed through unmarred. The only common foe was March field, which blitzed the Trojans in the second period to score a 35-0 triumph after having been routed by Pest Welch’s charges 27-7 at Seattle.
However, the visitors finished their campaign on Oct. 30 a full month before Troy’s last contest. In the interim Hucky stars Pete Susick, Jay Stoves, and Tony Bal-chunas were transferred to Parris Island.
