The faculty committee of the University of California have made a report to the academic council on the football situation. The committee considers American college football as played at present a spectacle and not a game. An interesting fact unearthed by the investigations of this committee is the fact that during the last twelve years in which Stanford and California have held intercollegiate games, only seventy-five students of the University of California have taken part in games with Stanford out of over 4000 eligible men students who have been in attendance at the university during this time. The scholarship records show that the football men have graduated about the same percent of their number as those not participating in the game. The committee suggests that such modifications be made in the rules as will make the play more open and do away with land to which deeds have been filed. We have recently had the nature of sampling some very plies from Escondido.

The scholarship records show that the football men have graduated about the same percent of their number as those not participating in the game. The committee suggests that such modifications be made in the rules as will make the play more open and do away with the possibility of the heavy mass play. They are also in favor of providing for a rules committee which should be made up of representatives of the different colleges. R. A. Eno, chairman of the board of trustees of the city of Long Beach and virtually mayor of that city, and J. B. Loses, a member of the board of trustees, have been arrested on charges of bribery at the instance of District Attorney Frederick of Los Angeles. The officials were taken before Justice Young of that city and arraigned and released on $5000 bail each. It is charged that they received moneys in two amounts, $300 and $1000, on condition of building a new city pavilion. The charges are sworn to by Detective Longfellow of the district attorney's office. The men assert their innocence and claim that politics is behind the arrest. It is rumored that other arrests may follow. Fifteen deeds showing the transfer of nearly 10,000 acres of land to the Pacific Light & Power company of Los Angeles were filed in San Diego in one day recently. The price paid for the land is a quarter of a million dollars. All of the deeds were recorded at the request of the Fletcher Salmons Investment company and were made to Charles The second step toward mining the desirability andichtigity of a Greater Los Angeles will be taken up at a meeting be held at Los Angeles this noon.

It will probably band after that has been affirmed. H. B. Gurley, secretary has sent the following letter concerned: "Several weeks ago the chapter of commerce, merchants' and facturers' association and the municipal league jointly appointed committee of fifteen to confine the members of the city council Los Angeles and the board pervisors of Los Angeles for the purpose of appointing commission to formulate a city and county consolidationter the first meeting of the committee it was deemed advisable lay the calling of a joint until after the holidays.

The price paid for the land is a quarter of a million dollars. All of the deeds were recorded at the request of the Fletcher Salmons Investment company and were made to Charles Forman, secretary of the Pacific Light & Power company. Included in the property transferred is a portion of the famous Monserrate ranch, all of the Madison Smith ranch, the Herbert Crouch ranch, Doane valley, 2000 acres adjoining Doane valley and located on Smith mountain, all of the lands between the Lo Jolla Indian reservation and about 3000 acres of land in the San Luis Rey valley between Oceanside and Warner's ranch. All of the property is located in what is know as San Luis Rey valley. One tract of 2400 acres was bought for $50,000 and several other ranches were purchased for between $20,000 and $25,000. The exact amount of land transferred today was 9428 acres and the price paid was $232,-225. Deeds to about twice as much property and valued at about $700,-000 will be placed on record this week. This land, it is said, is located in the same vicinity as the MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP proto be a factor in this year's campaign. A formal call state mass meeting has been held from Bakersfield, to assemble Fresno February 22. The form of principles among things sets forth: "We declare our faith in honesty and practical intelligence of the American people to give themselves and to provide for own welfare. "The people must own, care and operate the railroads and railroad plants which shall the passengers and freight nation. The people should wise own and operate all public utilities, whether county or municipal in scope. "This important enlargement self-government by the people not become a part of our administration policy without a new independent political movement by the people to that end. Fore, that such a movement m which deeds have already been initiated, it is the sense of this mass meeting that we form, and we do now and here form a new national political party to be known as the Public Ownership party, whose supreme object and effort shall be public ownership and operation of railroads and all other necessary public utilities. The only credentials at this meeting are a declaration of belief in public ownership and in favor of independent political action to secure it." ELLWOOD COOPER of Santa Barbara has offered to rid the state of Massachusetts of the gypsy and the browntail moth pests for $25,000. The offer is contained in a letter to James H. Bowditch, a landscape gardener of Boston, and on the face of it, it seems a businesslike proposition. It is considered strange, however, that Mr. Cooper did not make his offer to the state instead of a private individual. Mr. Bowditch says that Mr. Cooper has several parasites in mind, and it is his idea to introduce several parasites, cultivating the most effective. If there is any chance of success, his proposition is absurdly cheap for already $3,000,000 will have been spent in five years to exterminate the scourge which has caused several million dollars' damage.

The court found Commander Young guilty of a part of the specifications, alleging negligence of duty, and sentenced him to receive a letter of reprimand, which sentence will be carried out. The case of Ensign Wade, who was associated with Commander Young in this matter, has not yet been disposed of. Welsh College Yells. The Welsh is a language that looks peculiarly fit for college yells. The Welsh yells are fully up to the level of those of this country. The University of North Wales has a yell something like this: "Bravo, bravissimo, ray, ray, ra-o-rock! Ray-ray-ra-o-rock! Ray-ray-ray-o-rock!" Cardiff has a somewhat similar yell, while at Aberystwyth the cry is: "Hip-hip-hur-aber! Hip-hip-hur-aber! Hip-hip-hur-Aberystwyth! With a pip and a pang and a yip and a yan. Yak! Yak! Yak!"

Some sentences are like autographs; you feel that they must have been written by these people; no one else could have written them. Such is this, by Talleyrand: "To succeed in the world it is much more necessary to possess the penetration to discover who is a fool than to discover who is a clever man." And Napoleon's character is drawn full length in this sententious remark of his: "I command or I am silent." Love of Gain.

Odell's enemies assert that they are in control of the Republican State convention and that they can depose him at any time. Although Odell is maintaining a defiant attitude publicly, it is known that he has indicated his willingness to give up the chairmanship if he is assured that he will be succeeded by some man who is not entirely hostile to him. His offer has not yet been accepted and the next move in the process of elimination may be a demand from the State committee for his resignation.
