GRID GAME
At BERKELEY IN 1923

BERKELEY. Calf. February 25.-
University Of California hopes to
play foot ball against an eastern
college team next New Year day in
a stadium to be built on the campus
here, Graduate Manager Luther
Nichols has announced. California
has played in the annual New Year
day east-west games at Pasadena
for the past two years.
The new stadium is to cost approx
imately 100000. and will seat 10000.
The playing field is to be excavated.
and the earth banked on the sides
for seats. California originally
planned million-dollar concrete
stadium of the campus here, but the
plan was dropped when the land
wanted for the stadium could not be
had at the estimated price.
Charles Henry Rieber, professor OF
logic, dean of the summer school
and connected with the university
for ninenteen years. has resigned all
connection with the institution as a
result of a controversy over location
of the proposed stadium in Straw
berry canyon.
Prof. Rieber is among those who
object to what they consider the
desecration of one of the most beau
tiful spots Of the campus.
