The California football association

athletic association. This was
practically decided at meeting of the
association last night, when it was
found that there was a general senti
ment toward coming. back into the

MOTORISTS WILL
TABOO OAKLAND
Maintaining of Speed Traps Is
Prompting the Use of the
Peninsula Route
John R. Chace Writes Letter to
Mayor Complaining OF
Police Action
By x. x. PHOmmedieu

1t seems from reports received from
motorists that San Francisco is not the
only place that is suffering from the
overzealous work of the police oncer
detailed to watch speeding automobiles.
From the little country town that gained
quite a revenue by maintaining speed
traps the scheme has struck Oakland.
John r. Chase, vice president or the
Santa Clara county automobile cluo,
last Sunday came up on the other slde
of the bay at what he claims was 20
miles an hour and was surprised to hnd
himself suddenly put under arrest. AT
that time he thought he was still In
the open country and not within the
city limits of Oakland, and he has writ
ten to the mayor asking that signs be
posted so that automobilists may know
when they are entering Oakland. The
constant arresting of motorists in the
city across the bay has caused great
majority of them to use the peninsula
route instead.

Albert Mum, the university student
and former Oakland high school track
athlete, who carried away the honors

the way motorists worked by statesmen

about tire quality and the way tire business is
