California's Golden Bear won
der team" at times is terrifying
it is that powerful.
In every game of the 1897 sea-
son save one-the contest against
Washington, which ended in a
scoreleSS tie-the Golden Bears
gave every evidence OF being SINH
lar in power to DR.. Jock" Suther.
lands Pittsburgh Panthers. There
was this difference between the
two: Whereas Pitts power made
itself felt in the second half, Cali
fornia's is apparent in the first
half.
Typical of all power teams, Cali
fornia goes in for a slant at tackle
as the primary play of its attack.
This slant is the very essence OF
power.
1t is used both with balanced
and unbalanced line, but seemingly
is stronger on the latter formation.
DRIVING BACKS
Big, fast ends and linemen, fast
charging as they are, and big,
fast, hard-driving backs, led by
the 225-pound Meek, combine to
give this play every whit the
power contained in Pitts slice at
tackle. AS a matter If fact, some
say -insistent1y-that the Bear
slant is stronger and generates
more power than Pitts!
Because the Bears constitute a
well-rounded team, strong in all
fundamentals, with active, aggres-
sive linemen, and two exception.
ally fine ends in Dolman and
Schwartz, as well as one Of the
best backfieldS ever assembled on
the same team, California is able
to vary from the slant at tackle
to short end runs, delayed passes,
spinnerS, reverseS and SmasheS
back to the weak side, without
losing much of its enormous at
tacking power and drive.
California-probably because of
the confidence the Bears have in
their power-stack up only as a
good" forward passing outfit.
Chapman. however, can heave 'em,
and Bottari, Dolman and Schwartz
can catch 'em.
It is possible that Coach "Stub"
Allison will demand of his players
that they go to the forward pass
more often in the Rose Bowl game
than they have been during the
regular season, albeit this point
seems far-fetched. After all, why
should a great power team desert
the sort of strategy which has won
nine games for it, and rolled up
201 points in those nine games for
an average Of 20 points per game?
It must be remembered, always,
in discussing California, that it is
an outstanding defensive team. It
will be hard team to beat for
the reason that it will be extremely
difficult for even a quick-think-
ing, alert, enspirited Alabama
team to score on California.
225-POUND MEEK
California's defense, with 225-
pound Meek and 215-pound Her
wig backing up the line, probably
will stop the Tides running at
tack. The whole California line,
end to end, will hustle the Tides
passing attack most Of the time,
because California's line units are
big, faSt-charging, active, aggres-
sive and destructive.
Taken all in all, the California
eleven Of 1887 is just about the
best team the Coast has sent into
the Rose Bowl in years.
The Golden Bears first team is
a high-class, nicely balanced Jug
|gernaut with enough clevernesS in
departments other than power to
make it a standout aggregation.
Bottari, you must remember, is
an elusive back, with a change
of pace, stiffness and rare ball
carrying ability.

and intelligent curiosity; the wise
business girl should know how to
accept criticism and praise equal
ly constructively."
Other speakers at the conVen-
ton advocated women owning
their own business and letting
men do some of the cooking and
houseWork at home.
Miss Fe!ice E. Barlow, Phila-
delphia attorney. said women have
always "cOnlormed TO standards
made by men" and added that If
ihe strangle- hold of masculine
ctandards is to be broken, it Will
be by successful competition OF
women who own and run their
own business"
mo woman will ever be secure
in that" Miss Barlow said, "un-
til women control some part or
the financial world. You and 1 Will
not see that time. We are IN a
period of ebb so far as women IN
business are concerned.
Women came into the working
world largely by chance, and they
will be pushed part way out, at
least. But if the retreat is made
fighting. the next movement OF
women into business may be per-
manent and successful"
Miss Barlow accused business
women of trying to appear light
and flirtative" through flattery OF
men. creating the impression that
they are "a pleasant, lightweight,
nice to have around but no sort
Of competition in the business
sense -
Mrs. J. B. Spilman of Raleigh
N. c.. told the convention men
employers do not want to hire
women who become restless IN
subordinate positions and want tc
better themselves"
The suggestion about cooking
and housekeeping came from a
man, DR.. Robert Hoppock, New
York psychologist, who brought
cheers when he told the delegates
There is no sound psychology
cal reason why women should cooE
meals. wash dishes and clean the
house. The vocational psycholo'
gist. were he free from restraint

It is considered likely that they

who he is.
The Sinclair company distri-

way for a few years but has not

Wheeler told Garner that the

pigeonhole the Robinson court bill,
a compromise of the presidents
original bill, for this session and
that his group would oppose any
settlement which:
Adds any members to the su-
