Strong for Line Attack.
Attacks against opposing lines
mainly off tackle. featured the 1920
offensive of the California eleven.
California made little use of the
forward pass, probably because at no
time was the team ever hard pressed.
Only in the game against Stanford
University did the Blue and Gold
men open up" and show they were
effective in an aerial offensive. In
the last period. with the game al

passes and most of them were sue

Charges through center have scored
many California yards and end runs

the runner on third, who had held his

Answer to Yesterdays Play.
The umpire was correct in calling
the batsman out for interference. He
was in error, however, when he per-
mitted the runnsy who was on first
to advance to third on the play. The
runner VINO advanced to third base
because of the wild throw should have
been sent back to his original base

+ 1t is. however. felt that certa in
remedies are necessary. particularly with
regard to the large purses fighters have
been receiving. for this element has
been the source of the greatest opposi-
ton TO professional boxing as at present
conducted. The average man who has
to work eight hours or more day To
earn a decent living or one that is
hardly decent is inclined to resent the
fact that boys who couldn't make more
than SIS or $50 week at some trade
or business are receiving from $4,000
to $4,000 for less than forty-five min
utes of punching. And the average man
above referred to is the man who casts
a vote and is the real big influence
in the formation Of public opinion.
Seat Prices PrOhIbftfse.
To make matters worse. the cost OF
good seats at any WORTHWHILE bout Is
so high that Mr. Average Man cannot
get in to see the scrap. which, Of course,
doesn't help the situation any. Yet the
