FORMER SEWARD BOY
 SENDS UNIVERSITY NOTES
Ralph NJ. Pedersen Tells Gateway Readers How Washington
 Walloped California.

SEATTLE, Nov. 8.-California was walloped in football yesterday by the University of Washington with a score of 72 to o. The game was played in Berkeley before a crowd of 15,0O0 spectators, of whom 300 were students from Seattle.
 California had hopes that her speedy end players would score against Washington. Dobie's system was to smother these fast men before they could get start; at no time did California make any long runs.
 Straight football, a few passes, and an intricate system of plays bewild- cred the southern boys, so they said.
 Next Saturday Washington plays California on her own fields. Thanks giving day they play the University of Colorado on Denny field.

toward the footlights with one swift
leap, holding his arm over his head
