Berkeley “Frosh” Said to be Equal of California Varsity Eleven
Outweighed and outplayed from start to finish, the Trojan freshmen went down to a 30 to 7 defeat at the hands of the California babes on California field in Berkeley Saturday.
Sprott, the Californians star left half back, formerly of San Diego high school played a wonderful game and was largely responsible for the Southerners’ defeat. He scored a few minutes after the opening kick off, taking the ball on a criss-cross play for thirty yards and following this with a long end run into the pay zone. The goal was kicked, and a few minutes later another touchdown was made by the use of the same tactics.
California’s third touchdown was made by full back Mosier in the second quarter.
LUCAS AGAIN
At this stage of the battle, “Pat” Lucas, the phenomenal right half for the S. C. frosh, caught a long kick from the Berkeleyites a few feet in front of his own goal line and tore through a whole mess of opposition players the whole length of the pasture to a touchdown. For the first forty yards he dodged and slid between the Californians behind good interference, and once free flew down the field and past the sacred last line. Evans kicked the goal.
“Pat was injured in the third period and had to be carried from the field.
Captain Jimmy Smith gave a great exhibition of gaineness by going into the game with a badly wrenched shoulder. Although forced to retire early n the contest he came back again In the second half and stuck to his post for a few minutes more.
Charley Deaji played a great defensive game at full.
Jimmy Woodward, who replaced Harold Galloway at quarter played *ell, showing considerable class when It came to hooking forward passes.
The Berkeley men outweighed Tipton's proteges many pounds per man. Their team average was in the neighborhood of 180 pounds. Several northern critics have said that they sre better than the blue and gold varsity, and it is an accepted fact that •hey are just as good. Their peculiar formation* and habit of playing close to the ground bothered the S. C. babes.
The Trojan boys were in poor shape following Wednesday’s game, and the fide on the train only served to re-
“If the present war ends in nothing but a worldwide arousal of hate the war will be lost no matter how the military situation stands,’’ declared Professor Fesius E. Owen, noted psychologist of U. S. C„ in an address before the Parent-Teachers’ Association of Long Beach.
"The task is not merely to end this war, - but to end all wars,” said Professor Owen. “Accordingly the important thing is for the peoples of the earth, including America, to get it out of their minds that other peoples must be hated and feared and put out of existence. These noxious ideas cannot be wiped out until autocratic governments are wiped out; but if popular hatred survives, then it will do not the least bit of good to conquer the German government. Hatred in itself will be enough to cause a repetition of the present war.
“The most constructive peace plan for the present is to do as President Wilson suggests, and not to hate the German people or any other people. Also we must tell our children exactly the facts of the whole bloody business. We must not let the slaughter-side of patriotism, even at this time, obscure the clear, constructive purpose that is to end war for all time.”

FROM MARE ISLAND TO MEET TROJANS
Cromwell’s Men Will Run up Against Some Real Class On Saturday
One of the greatest elevens in the history of American football will appear before Los Angeles fans next Saturday when the all-star Mare Island Marines play the University of Southern California Trojans at Washington park.
The team is captained by Johnny Beckett, last year leader and brilliant-playing tackle of the University of Oregon team. Beckett helped defeat the Pennsylvania eleven at Pasadena last New Year’s day, and was selected a few years ago by Walter Camp as one of the second all-American tackles.
Ed Bailey plays the tackle opposite his captain. Bailey was also a U. of O. player, and is said to be in Beckett’s class as a great defensive player.
Stanley Ridderhoff, formerly of Occidental and Hall from Oregon hold down the two guard positions, while Tom Cushman, last year with the University of Washington, plays In the center of the line.
WONDERFUL QUARTERBACK According to Lonestar Dietz, coach at Washington State College, the Marines have a wonderful quarterback in Vernon Brown, formerly of that institution. Dietz says that Brown is the greatest field general he has ever coached, and that when it comes to picking out holes and running back punts he is in a class by himself.
Hollis Huntington, whom Beckett says is "the greatest plunger you ever saw” is the Marines’ fullback. Huntington performed under Bezdek at Oregon last year and was regarded as a star, but it is said that he has improved greatly since that time. Huntington and Brown both played wonderful football against the 91st Division at Camp Lewis, each being credited with a touchdown.
“BRICK" MITCHELL AT END “Brick” Mitchell, the fifth member of the team who was a former Oregonian, plays an end. Football critics say that Mitchell has few equals when it comes to getting down the field on punts and tuking care of his opponent.
Hobson of the University of Nebraska plays the other end position.
The halfbacks are Molthen and I). Gardner, on whom advance dope is rather scarce. Both of them, however, showed up well against the Camp Lewis stars.
S. C. MAN WITH TEAM Among the Mare Islanders' substitutes is Jerry Craig, former athlete at U. S. C., and who, it is said, could have been one of the country’s greatest players had he wanted to be. Other players are Sunderson of Montana, C. P. Gardner of Utah, Parker of North Carolina, McMtllen of the Olympic club of San Francisco, Purdy of Min-nesotta and Wilson of Michigan.

Perfect teamwork, spectacular, shadowy open field running and a stone wall defense enabled U. S. C.’s Trojans to wipe away the Bting of previous year’s defeats with a 51 to 0 victory over the University of Utah at Salt Lake last Saturday.
The Utah men were outclassed at every stage of the game. They were unable to make even a dent in the Trojan defense and when S. C. had the ball, the Mormon City team was bewildered and helpless against the machine-like interference of their opponents.
“Rabbit” Malette was easily the star of the game. Time and again he took the ball and tore through the whole Utah team for long gains. In the first five minuteB of play Frankie ran the whole length of the Held for a touchdown.
Utah entered the game with four of her best players in rather poor condition. However, Salt I^ake fans were unanimous in the opinion that Utah could not have stopped U. S. C. had their men been ln perfect shape.

BIG THANKSGIVING GAME
The “Royal Rooters” are back on the job! They will be out in full force at the Thanksgiving game. A special section will be reserved and each college will send a delegation to help fill It up and root for the U. 8. C. team. All men are asked to sign up with Cliff Henderson, "Red” Allen or Roy Bose.

His honor waB evidently in the best of spirits, so he “suggested" that they pay ten cents apiece to the Christmas fund of the Elks for an orphans’ home. The boys agreed strenuously that it was fair enough and after some difficulty succeeded in raising the fine. His honor promised to attend the Thanksgiving game so H. C. will get the money back.
Yesterday’s parade cost 18 enthusiastic S. C. rooters the enormous sum of ten cents apiece when the traffic officer at First and Broadway stopped a loaded machine for parading without a permit.
The machine had had a blowout on the way back from Oxy and was lost out of the parade. When the tire was fixed they decided to have a parade of their own. When they got to First and Broadway a burly traffic officer stepped out and started the parade back to the police station.
Taken before the judge they tried to explain. The judge had never heard of a football game, but was willing to be lenient with "schoolboys.” The arresting officer said that they tried to make a diminutive mule out of him going to the police station and recommended drastic action for the offense to his dignity.
