door and shot a bullet at random.
The bullet, however, struck the
boy III the back and caused fatal
abdominal wounds.
Beese is held by the sheriff
awaiting charges that will be pre-
ferred against him.

with whom he lived. was killed in
the accident, L. A. Sweet of Fresno

rights of the states of Nevada and

Because of its far-reaching i'm

Unfortunately in the memoran-

United Press Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Nov /, U.p) The
battle lines between the north and
the south were drawn sharply to-
day as So golden bears from Cali
fornia massed before the hitherto
unscaled walls of the 1920 Uniyer-
sity of Southern California Trojan
football team.
The Bears left their train at
Glendale and Immediately went to
Hotel Huntington to prepare for a

workout on the tap in order that

his final instruction to the men on
whose shoulders rests possible na-
tional title.
Football enthusiasm was running
high as Los Angeles and football
talk was plentiful. There were some
exuberant hackers of the Trojans

points on the laundering herd, but
those lin the know believed that
it was an even Stephen proposition,
There is no denying the strength
Of the Trojans, it was conceded. but
on the other hand it was pointed out
that Coach NibS Price and his Cali
fornia crew have Wcathered three
hard battles this year while the Tro-
JAMS maSSed all their energy to beat
Stanford 7 TO 0.
California was tied to 0 by the
strong ST. MaryS team, beat Penn
y to 0, and last weekend the Bear
reserves nipped the veteran Olympic
club in a game that brought out the
fact that Price has reserves.
Coach Jones and his players APP
peared to be unaffected by the opti-
mism of the student body and Of
Los Angeles hackers.
Jones declared that he believed
California was keyed to such an eX-
tent that the Trojans will have
more difficulties than they faced
at Stanford last week end.
Figures here showed that South
ern California will have a Slight
advantage over the Bears in the line

Line play, however, has always
been one OF Prices big assets and

cent of all freight cars loaded, the three
commodities represent rs per cent Of
the loss and damage resulting to car
riers and shippers through trans
portation.
