MCCLURE WILL PLAY
AGAINST ARIZONA AT
TUCSON ON SATURDAY

Mcclure, Lobo linesman, who
was out of the game with the Ca
diets, will be in his regular position
when the Cherry and Silver takes
the field Saturday at Tucson
against the Arizona Wildcats. The
Arizonans lost to Pomona last Sat
urday but are as yet undefeated in
their own section, and the winner
of Saturdays game will have a
clear claim to the title of cham
pions of the southwest.
In recent article in the Jour
nal it was stated that Pearce was
ineligible. This reference should
have been to Mcclure, who was de-
clared ineligible just prior to the
game with the institute, but who
did not play in that game out of
consideration for the visitors.

CANADA'S FOURTH OF JULY
British North America Act Signed
March 20, 1867, Together With
Four Other Bills

Although the Dominion of Canada
did not come into actual existence I'M
til July l, 1867, the Dominion may
be said to have been born when, on
March %, 1861, royal assent was given
to the British North America act,
which created the Dominion, and
which had been passed by the House
of commons in February. July 1, 1867,
is considered the birthday of the Do
minion, and as such is celebrated as
Dominion day.
The journal entry of March %, 1867,
states that the commons were sum-
moned by the yeoman usher of the
black rod to the chamber of the
house of lords to hear the royal as
sent given 10 five bills, the fourth Of
which was the British North American
act.
The other four bills which re-
ceived the royal assent at the same
time were supply bill, dog tax bill,
bill about marriages of British sub
jects in Odessa, and a London poor
relief bill.
