I YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT
\ f
We usualy think of Christmas as a time for toys and joys, but it is also well to think of the days and years
that follow. With that in view we again wish to call attention to the value of a
saving book as a Christmas present.
|
For the old folks a savings book may spell greater contentment and more comfort than any other gift. For the boy and girl a sav
ing book may be the foundation of future success, not on account of the intrinsic value of the gift, but on account
or the habit of thrift which it will devlop, a habit which will be of lasting benefit.

BERKELEY, Cal. 19.—The question
of shortening the football season fn
California is no'w before the various
colleges and athletic clubs of the state
as the result of a recommendation
made by Johnny Stroud, graduate
manager of the University of Cali
fornia here, that at feast a month be
cut from the playing season. Stroud
believes the players get “stale” when
they are kept in constant training
over three months.
“Look at California’s case.” Stroud
declared. “We reached the height |
of our playing worth wuen we tackl
ed and defeated Washington. We;
won that game with ease. Then the
St. Mary’s varsity came along and
beat us. After that we tried Oregon
and were again defeated.
“We have the longest gridiron in the
United States here in Berkeley. The
varsity turns out around the third
week in August, and the boys keep
at it hammer and tongs until Thanks-1
giving day or later. It is asking too
much of the players to expect them j
to win, after they have gone through!
I
three months of the hardest sort of
football.”
Previous to the break with Stan-j
ford and California ended her season
in the first or second week of No
vember. The Washington contract at
first called for two games, which pro
longed the season a couple of weeks.
The Pacific conference program call
ed for a longer season still, and Stroud !
figures that some definite limit should j
be set.
