ONE MENTAL
SLIP

the game, and Saturday anotheI
mental boot put California In posi-
ton to score its only touchdown, an'
nearly huined things.
California. in the third period,
was forced to punt, and n Wash
ington forward partially blocked
the bali, the leather going out Of
bounds near the 30.yard line. II
was n free ball, but some Of the
Washington men didn't know
that II had been touched. The
ball was bounding in front Of
three Washington men who
made no effort to get it, think
ing that II was Washington's,
and Babe Horrell fell on IL, Civ.
ing California the ball again.
1t was bad football, as the mos
simple axiom Of the game Is to 70
low tho ball, taking nothing 70
granted.
From there California started tn
attack that brought them thei
touchdown. Fullback Jabbs goin
over and Carlson drop.kicklng tn

That much for the scoring.
CALIFORNIA HAS
BETTER TEAM
As for the game. even the mos
ardent Washington supporter vii
admit that California was the bette
team.
Their deceptive formations, Il
which they used criss-cross plays
spin" tricks and fakes, kept Wash
ington on the defensive thruout tn
first three periods.
They hid the ball well. and benin
the perfect rhythm Of their chargin
line the Bruins made huge gains.
For the first time this year the
Washington line was outpIayed.
But they weren't outgamed.
When California got the ball on
the five-yard line with four
downs to make the goal, the
IInslje showed their fight and
held, Wilson kicking out Of dan.
