Notre Dame stands high. but not

and a good drive, but her forward
passing game was neither OBVIOUSLY

The middle western season as
whole was marked by injuries to star
players; not one of the leading con-
ference elevens came to their most
important games with regular play
ers all occupying their positions. The
general excellence was above the aV-

Georgetown. Catholic University
George Washington and University of
Maryland have used the American
League Park during the season just
closed, but fifth or the gate receipts
for all games went to the owners of
the field. a rather expensive PROPOSE
ton when it is considered that every
college needs every cent it can get
in order to make both ends meet in
financing intercollegiate competition
in the several sports. If two of the
local universities owned their own
stadiums arrangements probably could
be effected whereby nearly all games
could be played in them and this fifth
of the gate receipts saved for use in
the development of athletics on
broader lines.
Problem Merits Serious Thought.
Just what may be done to solve
the problem is worthy of serious con-
sideration not only by those connect
ed with the institutions mentioned.
but by the Washington public. Wash
ington probably is the only city of
its size in the country which does
not have some kind of stadium for
big college foot ball games
Right now there are just two places
in Washington where big foot ball
games may be played - American
League Park and the Central High
School Stadium-and there are objec-
tons to these. The former was laid
out for base ball, and consequently is
not so constructed that most of those
present could. see from positions along
the sides of the field; it has the added
disadvantage of cost for its use.
which would be almost prohibitive as
permanent proposition. The Central
stadium is not large enough to ac-
commodate the crowd which ordi-
nariiy would attend a big collegiate
contest. and, something else, there
seems to be an edict against use of
the field by colleges: at least for
games al which gate receipts may be
charged.
Which brings up the question of
that Central stadium. The stadium
was erected primarily for use of stu
dents at Central, and when it is de-
sired for such ends nothing else
should receive consideration. How
ever. the stadium was built with
money which came from the public
in taxes. and is a part of a system of
public education. and it does seem
that when such a structure is not in
the use for which it is primarily in
tended. and is lying idle. there is no
adequate reason why it should not be

ply using close-formation plays be-
hind the middle of the line, and try
ing to get outlets in that way.
Each has an attack that will spread
and will strike hard anywhere from
tackle to tackle, and enough varia-

a mask. it has, of course. all the
three threats from kick formation

No team in the country, probably
is better prepared to defend against
Ohio States's forward passing than
California, because d great deal of at
tention has been put upon this kind of
work. with the belief that if Cali
fornia can defend against it, her own
power in the running game would
win this is the way they figure their
assets can best be banked. This really
is one of the strongest teams that has
been developed on the west coast, and
Ohio State certainly will have her

pulling out her conference games with
close calls.

The California team as it lines up
to meet Ohio State will average us
pounds to the man, and foot ball en-
thusiasts in the east and middle west
should realize fully that it is first
class team, with real foot ball players
of the rough and ready type. who will
take lot of beating. The Blue and
Colds final victory over Stanford was
decisive and showed the immense
power possessed by California. The
team was not obliged, on account of
the ease with which 1t went through
the Stanford team, to display any I'M
usual plays.
Possess Powerful Line.
California has powerful and well
balanced line. 1t is slightly stronger
on the right side than on the left and
as whole probably is more power
full than that of Ohio State, especially
on line drives. In the backfeid, Nor
Tison, the fullback, and Sprott, the
right halfback, both are iine-hit1ers
of ability, the former being particu
larly good, but Toomey, who plays
left half, is the star runner of the
team. This man is very fast, quick
driver, uses his head all the time and
makes IDt most any ventures OUT
on the wings.
The team has not shown any par
ticular or extraordinary strength in
forward passing. 1t has, however
been drilled thoroughly and steadily
in breaking up the forward pass of
the opponents and undoubtedly will
intercept or knock down many of
these attempts. The team has one
rather clever forward pass of it's own,
which. preceded by short hand pass,
gives the interference an opportunity
TO help out the receiver of the pass
after he gets the ball. This is likely
to fool Ohio State if they are not pre-
pared for it.
Ohio q Clever Team.
Ohio State, on the other hand. pre-
sents team which has come through
the conference championships. not by
power and drive. but rather by clev-
crness, and particularly in the for
