BERKELEY, Cal, Oct. 11.-I1ow
does Andy Smith pick his men?
Does the famous California football
coach personally follow the progress

trying TO make the team, or does
ne rely on his assistants IN choosing

Or does the ambitious candidate

Andys attention by the superior
Quality Of his football knowledge and

The answer IL yes and no.
Owing 70 the smooth working Of
the smith system at California,
Andy usually has q pretty good line
on his football prospects long before

The great majority Of the men on

main there indefinitely. Not 81 a
long shot. The man who holds a
Job on Andy's front.rank eleven
must constantly prove that ne IL
worthy Of the confidence placed in
him.
The classic example at California
" q man making the varsity from
the "goofs" is the instance Of BRO.

one year. 1920, developed into the
great Brodie who received Brick
Muller's famous sixty.yard forward
pass at Pasadena against the cham.

which California won, 3S to 0.
