Oregon Rates Edge in Race For Roses
SAN FRANCISCO UP In a potential tie ballot between California and Oregon for the Pacific Coast Conference Rose Bowl bid Oregon would automatically receive the spot if both teams finish undefeated. Athletic Director Brutus Hamilton of California said the rule but noted it applies only to a tie in balloting, not a direct selection. Oregon has not played Pasadena since 1920 and California last appeared in 1938. Both teams have several conference games remaining with no losses. The north holds voting power, but Montana and Idaho often side with the south. Hamilton stressed there has never been a tie in PCC balloting and that Oregon would not be chosen automatically in a tie.

The piece contrasts Stengel’s showmanship with McCarthy’s measured approach and criticizes Stengel’s impact on former players while praising rival managers like Jack Onslow and Ted Lyons.
