CALL OHIO
Desnite the fast. snappy drill, feeling
here regarding the result OF the inter
sectional battle is just as 1t was IN Den
yair Monday Local football enthusiasts,
although they have heard lot OF Dhlo
gridiron prowess. are inclined TO taVor
California mainly because OF the sOuhd
drubbing which Andy Smiths eleven gave
the University Of Utah:
California during the week before the
same. while some believe odds as high as
to l will prevail a game time.
These stories of CalifOrnia's strength
are not throwing any fear into the BUCK
ewes. Not alone 10 they want to win
for Ohio's sake. but they want TO emerge
on the long end of the score for the sake
OF football as played In the Big Ten.
OF all the players, and there are
twenty-three in the party, Pete Stinch-
to close his great career in q blaze OF
glory. Stinchie, who was nearly the
unanimous choice Of critics for an All
American half back, does not pretend
to know all there is to be known about
football He continually is seeking In
formation on various points of his play
which not only will make him more
dangerous player but also greater asset
TO the team.
Il am going TO give them the best I
possess" Pete said We have the plays,
and I am positive they will gain II every
man gets into every play. 1t Will be my
last game for the Scarlet and Gray, and
l will play until l cannot stand, TO win.
This game means so much 10 all con-
cerned that We must win. The players
feel the same as | do, and unless Cat-
fornia is a greater team than we have
been led TO believe. " will show then.
netter football IS played in the Mtdcle
West"
