SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. The student body of the University of Cali. fornia is well pleased with the showing made last season by their football squad. While the University of Ore gon defeated the Californians in mid season by one-sided score, the close games against the University of Washington, which brought the season to an end, are particularly encourag- ing to adherents of the Blue and Gold.
 Much satisfaction is derived from the fact that the Califorinans scored against both of these Northwestern universities, while neither of the lat ter was able to gain any points against the other. This is taken to indicate that the Bears are achieving a well defined offensive which, with addition al experience, will prove stumbling block to other teams on the Pacific coast.
 The majority of the Pacific coast
 
 was superior to their defensive and, in this, California was no exception. With a fast backfield and a particular ly fast end in the person of Captain "Brud" Montgomery, the Californians leaned to the open and aerial form of play, which was best suited to them and in which they met with a fair measure of success.
 They showed weakness against the straight football tactics of their oppo- nents, largely because the Caiifornians still are new to all the niceties of a perfected interference, many of the intricacies of which they are still learning.
 An early season weakness in the tackling department was responsible in large measure for some of their indifferent showings, but this failing rapidly showed improvement, and to- ward the end of the season the players brought down the opposing runners sharply and hard.
 One of the principal features of the Californians' game has been it's diversity, which included both the open and close formations. Adherence to no particular set style has kept its opponents constantly on edge be- cause of the uncertainty of what to expect and for this reason the Bears, while defeated in their principal con- tests, always were dangerous.
