CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
 WILL BUILD UP ITS
 FOOTBALL TEAM NOW

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-A forecast of next seasons football probabilities recently printed in a University of California publication indicates that the writer anticipates this institution will have one of the fastest and best teams the Bears ever have put on the field. This is, of course, contingent on the return of the men next fall who are ex- pected to fill the various positions. Mention is also made of the fact that the second team will not fall very far below the standard of the varsity in quality.
 One hundred students of Sanford university are out for spring foot ball practice and a campaign of intensive instructions has been in augurated in order to try and pick up a knowledge of the American game lost through the years that Sanford tried out Rugby only to find it wanting. Sanford returned to the American fold last fall to meet with a series of reverses which were anticipated It is believed these defeats served the purpose of demonstrating to the players much that only can be learned in actual competition.

HISTORY IS GIVEN
 OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 IN MAKING AIRPLANES

WASHINGTON, May 27. - Ad- mission that both military and civ ilian experts overestimated the countrys capabilities in setting out in 1917 "to accomplish the impos- sible task" of producing 22,000 air planes in 12 months is made in the official history of the governments efforts to build up the industry made public by the War Depart ment. Realization of this error re- suited almost immediately in the placing of contracts in France for 5,s75 planes of the Spad. Nieuport and Bregeut types.
 The report shows that by May 23, 1918, American factories had delivered 5,270 planes, or 24 pc, cent. of the ambitious program while the French had delivered 31 per cent. of the number promised on that date. Up to November II. g total of 11,364 airplanes had been produced in America, but these were largely training machines. fighting planes completed during the wal period totalling only 3,S2S.
 Broadly stated" the history says, "the United States produced for her army alone in her second year of manufacture, as many air planes as England produced for her army and navy fin her third year
