P. leader ship in 1929, when despite warn ings of economic experts and fi- nancial leaders, official statements were issued painting rosy pictures of the status of affairs and deny ing that stock quotations were higher than actual conditions in the various industries justified.
 He charged that the depression began as the result of unbridled speculation, then spread to Europe and continued because the Hoover Administration refused to recognize and correct the evils clearly appar- ent then, delayed relief after the crash had occurred, and forgot all about essential reform.
 Where Is Prosperity?
 The Democratic nominee remind ed his audience by quotation from Hoover's speeches, that the Presi- dent solemnly promised the coun- try continued prosperity" under a prolonged R D ublican leadership. and entrusted the conditions of the past three years with those painted in the word pictures of President Hoover in 1928.

Tn a game replete with thrills and all sorts of baseball, the Elks last right defeated the American Legion to 5, to capture the City League championship of 1882, af- ter one of the greatest series in the history of the organization. It was their second successive championship.
 On the short end of an to 3 score at the opening of the last half of the final inning, the Vets staged rally in the twilight that netted them two runs and, with the trying run on bases, foolish attempt of runner to score from second on an infield single cut off their last chance.

Fundamentals, Not Systems,
Tell in West Coast Foot Fall

has been costly to many teams on
the Pacific Coast this Fall. Blocked
punts and punts returned for long
runs and touchdowns have been too
common. This might be caused by
coaches overlooking the details of
the kicking game" in stressing the
development of close formation plays.
About one play out Of every four
or five is punt and unless this i'm
portant play, which moves the posi-
tion of the ball on the field more
than any other play, is well exc
cuted, the error is costly enough to
cause the loss Of a close contest.
A blocked punt by Ernie Smith
of U. S. C. started the downfall Of
California. A returned punt by John
Cherburg of Washington for SO
yards started the trouble for STAN
ford, while the winning play of the
Oregon Oregon State game was the
67-yard return by Halfback Temple.
Blocked kicks cost Stanford a
game with California of Los An
geles, a returned punt won for
Washington State over California
and the same Washington State
team lost to Southern California on
three blocked punts. A blocked punt
or punt that is returned for touch
down cannot be identified with a
