/ The change has come at last The
| University of California team will use
| the seven man serum with the wing
forward to try and compete with the
| New Zealanders' similar formation
For many years past the eight man
serum has held sway here, but the
: various coaches hereabouts are of the
opinion that they now have to revert
to the two hooker" front row IL they
| expect to successfully combat the
| All Blacks clever hookers.

| To date the Blue and Gold has reg
| istered AZ points against all oppo-
nents. while Stanford has totaled AZ.
/ On the other hand. opposition teams
have scored IL points on the Cardinal.
while the Blue and Gold have held
their opposition down to three tallies.
this being solitary try scored by the
! Titans. If figures count for anything.
the Blue and Gold has the edge on
attack by a margin of one point,
while the Stanford defense suffers by
comparison in a ratio of IL to fa-
voring the Blue and Gold

Big Bill King, Husky McKim and
Fish have all been playing the best
Rugby of their careers SO far this
season. 1t looks as though the trio
have already cinched their positions
on the varsity team. They eacA play
heady game, show good speed fol-
lowing up, and are all there with a
good supply of legitimate aggressive
ness. They have played at the top Of
their form for the last couple of weeks
and show no signs of letup.
Phil Glover is making a big bid for
a place in the Stanford varsity pack.
The big crew man has caught the
eyes of the fans on the line work and
in the loose. He is fast after the ball
and does great work on the line outs.
As a dribbler he is improving with
every game played.
