There is much agitation among the
angling fraternity concerning the

notices warning the public that fishing
will not be allowed. AS there are no
trespass laws in the state making 1t
an offense to follow stream while
fishing. it is doubtful whether such
trespass notices will avail the land
owner much of anything other than the
contempt of sportsmen anglers. The
streams. lakes and sloughs that have
been stocked with fish at public ex-

to the public generally, and no selfish
land owner should ever by statute be
permitted to close them to the people.

By William Unmack

California varsity placed another vic
tory to its credit yesterday by defeat

was in splendid form and played the
best game it has shown thus far. The
same may be said of the Olympic club,
whose sound defense in the second half
was splendid. California scored all of
It's points in the first half, not one be-
ing made in the second by either team.
California showed vast improvement
and the playing of the backs was the
feature of the game. It's first two tries
were scored within a few minutes after
the start and resulted from combined
forward rushes. Panby secured a try
from forward rush, but the kick at
goal failed. The third try, secured by
Paul, was the result of a pretty piece
of play Paul. taking the ball from
the serum, made a splendid run down
the line and scored. Webster added the
extra points with a good kick.

The former was in splendid form, and

up nicely. Budleman, Twitchell and
