In every live breast about you today there is one hope and one fear,—a hope that the team will—, and a fear that the other team might— No real follower of the old game rests assured of a result ‘according to “dope.” The problem cannot be worked out on Paper; it takes a whole gridiron. Each side knows what the ‘anawer should be, but it is the proof that sixty-five thousand People have gathered to sce. ‘The Cardinal welcomes you back to the “Farm,” Blue and Gold, To be honest with you, however, we must tell you that ‘we seek a good bear skin; our last bear-skin hearth rug is a little ‘worn in places. , Months of hard work and patient coaching are crowded into the few minutes of play today. Two splendid teams take the field. It is a year since the red-shirts have had their last savory scent of bear meat, and much has happened since then: Every Cardinal man knows that sometime, somehow— Has. that time come? California smiles; Stanford grits her teeth 8 the whistle blows for the kick-off.THE EVENTS OF THE DAY 9:30 A.M, Freshmen Soccer Game.

He got his start \ ‘om the Chicago cleven, and now as sporting editor of the Spokane “Chirqpicle” he is Kept in close touch with all the movements of the game. His decisions thnve raled many important grid contests im the West, in- clading the Big Game in this Stadinim last year- HHL Huchel, the umpire, is well known to the frequenters of the ceCalifornia and Stanford gridirons Hub’s ascent into foothalldom was by ‘way of quarterback for the University of Michigan.

Moyer is head linesman, He played football at Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania and has coached at Spokane High School. Moyer is now coaching teams at Piedmont High School, ‘The Hinesman wearing the Blue and Gold is George Latham, last year's eaptain of the Gollen Hears. He first played for California in his rechman year. Then followed three years of playing with the Varsity, during which the husky developed into one of the best centers the Bears ever produced. He now plays with the Olympic Club of San Francisco. ‘The finestman at the other end of the chain, wearing the Cardinal, is Jack Patrick, who captained the Stanford’ gridmen of last year, Jack's punting and plunging’ bas thrilled many-a Stanford Red in the past, but hhia performance in the Olympic Club game against Stanford was an expensive pastime for the Cardinal rooters,CAPTAIN “DUD” DEGROOT OF STANFORD Dudley DeGroot is a strong and indispensable link in the fine. His thoroughly reliable pass and line-Rélding accomplishments will he one of the Cards’ big aasets in the game today. Anything getting past this roving center will have to be faster tham the proverbial greased electrical flash. “Trad” test captains his men by his own example, for he plays = consistent game to the end, and doesn't know what “rime out” or a “sub- stitute’ for himself means.

Of this num- ber, Captain Erb, “Brick” Muller, “Duke” Morrison, and “Bob” Berkey hhave been regulars for three years, while the other three, though they have fot started every game during this time, have been intimates all the while with the Brain Varaity. ‘They help make up today the oldest, most seasoned, sinoothest, and most experienced eleven it is ordinarily possible to develop ita normal university. The California team today is the final product of the firmly established and thoroughly tried Andy Smith system. ‘Though California has wou every battle for three years, the real power of her present Varsity is unknown. The eleven this season did not really hit ite stride until at Seattle November 11, when it downed Wash ington 45-7, Since then it is felt that few-teams in the country today would be able to fully text the Golden 1B Atends are the All-American Muller, and Bob Berkey, weighty, power- ‘fl, Aad fast. eam and Witter are new at the tackle positions, bet among ‘the most effective linemen oa the Coast. Dean and Clark ax guards have accounted well for themaclves all this season. Gallagher has tried hard ‘to replace former Captain Latham at center, and is approaching the efi- ciency of his predecessor. Captainr Erb for three years has made mighty few sistakes in directing the consistently successful California attacks. Mor- ison, with w tremendous leg drive, is among the best real plangers in foot- tall. “Don Nichols and “Spnd” Spalding, halibacks, specialize in open field ing with astonishing rewslts Morrison's conternperary, Nisbet, lays at fullback about as often as the Iron Duke, and it is harely possible to tell which of the two is the regular, California. makes her last appearance on the 1922 gridiron this after- noon, Four men of this team, Hearn, Witter, Nichols, and Spalding, will return for another season with Andy Smith, and, though the loss of the seven frstatring players witl te felt, Californians feel that with the aid of excellent freshman and second varsity material the Bears of 1923 may be even stronger tha those who meet Stanford today.
