THERE has been a laxity in school
boy athletics. not in coaching
or in supervision of the athletes
themselves. but toward the spectators.
Proper policing has not been afforded
consistently enough to control the
crowds.

foot ball contests. is capable of seat
ing approximately 7,100 spectators
Rarely, if ever. has the stadium been
filled, yet the sight of hundreds Of

Speed and Equipment.

TOOT BALL today is game OF

now worn is close to the ancient
armor worn by Ivanhoe and his fellow
knights.
We were examining some up-to-date
helmets. They were made of leather
almost as hard as steel or pig iron.
They weighed close to three pounds
and looked to be more for offensive
use than for defense. These helmets
in turn force other heavy, durable
kinds of protective equipment.
II am almost certain" veteran
head coach said during the inspection,
that change will be made after this
season is over. What foot ball needs
is a lighter, softer and strictly pro-
tective form of foot ball harness.

81 United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
man in the street has his own opin-
ion of San Francisco's history max
ing general strike. He doesn't al
ways agree with his neighbor, but
his opinion is definite
I'm not a union man and the
strike has thrown me out of job"
said James Seaman, automobile re-
pairman. But I would be in
union if my boss would pay union
scale. If labor doesn't win this
fight, it's good-by unions and good
wages in San Francisco. It will be
a scab town like Los Angeles"
THE unions have gone too far, ="
said John Brookover, drug store pro-
prietor. There wasn't any reason
for a general strike. There was no
excuse for violence. Every man has
a right to run his own affairs. If
he doesn't do it to suit others, he
won't last long in business"
Il can't figure out why a long
shoreman thinks he ought to get
more than IS cents an hour said
Arnold Brothers, college graduate
and FERA employee. Il wish l could
get a job for that"
The longshoremen won impor-
tant concessions in the June 16
agreement, but they wouldn't take
them" said Henry Laborde, steam
ship company employe. How do
they figure that an employer
shouldn't have the right to desig-
nate what men he wants to employ.
If the unions get control of hiring
halls, there will be more favoritism
and skullduggery in employment
than there ever was under the old
system"
Those union men all are bunch
of Communists" said Josephine
Downey housewife. They make
me boil. Imagine. telling me I can't
90 to the movies, telling me I can't
buy vegetables for my kids, telling
me I can't eat Sunday dinner at
a restaurant. They make me mad
clear through"
Labor has been taking it on the
chin from grasping employers for
years." said L. j. Richmond, team
ster. "They tell me that in Los
Angeles, where the unions are weak,
truck drivers are hired to work ten
hours or more for 81 a day. When
the unions win this strike you'll see
that wages will be better for every
body-union and nonunion men. If
the business men weren't so stupid
they could see that their business
will be better when the ordinary
folks have more money to spend"
