California Team Excels In Off Tackle Plays Bjr Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Dec. 29
Attacks against opposing lines, mainly off tackle, featured the 1920 offensive of the University of California's undefeated football team which is to play Ohio State at Pasadena, Cal., New Year's Day. California made little use of the forward pass this year, probably because at no time was the team ever hard pressed. Only in the game against Stanford University did the Blue and Gold men "open up" and show they were effective in an aerial offensive. In the last period, with the game already won, California tried several passes and most of them were successful. Charges through center have scored nearly as many California yards as have bucks off tackle. End runs have also brought in gains. But the main attack has been off tackle, with the two big Blue and Gold tackles clearing the way for the backfield men.
Throughout the season the Calif or-
BASKETBALL HOPES SHOOT UP TO PAR FOR PURDUE TEAM
LAFAYETTE, Dec. 29. With two victories to their credit and two of last year's regulars now back on the varsity squad, basketball hopes at Purdue university have shot up to par, and the Boilermakers are counted on having a really formidable team in the field again this year, although it will be hard to equal last year's Victory Five.. Purdue started the season by trouncing Butler 37 to 28, and then walking over the Rose Poly quintet, 53 to 30. Captain Don White who won a place on the mythical all-conference five last year is back in usual form this year and is starting like a whirlwind at floor guard. Raymond F. Miller, the premier back guard of the conference, also is in the game again, having worked off the scholastic conditions, and he is showing up fn hi3 old time form. In addition to these veterans, there are several others of the second string men from last year's varsity crew and several good youngsters recruited from last yeafs freshman squad. Franklin E. Treat, a sophomore agricultural student from Clayton, Ind., is a graduate from last year's freshman squad who is showing up exceptionally well. Arthur B. Asters, who came the same route with Treat, is making a good fight for a regular berth. Chafee of Lafayette, is making a strong bid for center, while Hoiwerda. Laverenz, Hiser, Coffing, Haigis, Eversman. and one or two others will fisht it out for regular positions. On the whoje prospects for another first class team are much brighter than they were a month ogo, and Coach Ward Lambert is much more optimistic, especially since Miller has gotten back into the lineup. The usual holiday trip will be taken by the varsity this year, preparatory to the opening ofv the conference reason. The first game comes with the Em-Rocs at Indianapolis, Dec. 31. The next will be with the Cincinnati Gymnasium and Athletic club at Cincinnati, Jan. 1; Sarlham college at Richmond. Jan. 3, and Butler college at Indianapolis, Jan. 4. -

It was fitting that Pete Herman should relinquish the. bantam-weight title in the manner he did. Joe Lynch recently took Pete's title by outpointing him for fifteen rounds. Herman spent most of the time holding on and covering up. There was no regret when Lynch was given the verdict. Herman won the title in a bout which was unsatisfactory. He got a point decision over Kid Williams in a twenty-round bout. Billy Rocap's decision in Pete's favor met with disapproval. Herman's supremacy was in doubt from the minute he put on the jeweled lid. And that doubt existed all the while he was dodging the best boys to keep his title. And now we hear that Lynch may divide his time between defending his crown and the movies or vaudeville. So it looks as though we'll have to wait longer for the return of the bantam division to the popularity it boasted In the days of Dixon and McGovern.
