Western Grid Levelling Off Is Under Way
The Western gridiron race is leveling off with no clear super-team in the Pacific Coast Conference. Oregon and California needed late surges to win, USC looked sluggish, UCLA and Washington were routed by Big Nine foes, and Oregon faces Michigan while USC plays Ohio State. Some upsets and closer games balanced the weekend action. California rallied to beat Navy 21-7, Santa Clara upset Oklahoma 20-17, and other results mostly followed form across the region.
