California Football

Andrew Latham Smith played fullback at Pennsylvania; playing so well he was nominated All-American. He took to football coaching at California; coaching so well that for five and a half seasons his elevens were undefeated. He died in 1926 and, true to his dying wish, his ashes were scattered over the Memorial Stadium at Berkeley. Last week a players' bench was unveiled and dedicated to "Andy" Smith. Pennsylvania sent its eleven to the dedication; grieved to hear that the Californian attack, led by Brick Marcus who plays football in specially guarded eyeglasses, was irresistible. California 27, Penn 13.

Eastern tribulations were increased when Stanford edged out a victory over unbeaten Pittsburgh 7--6. Fumbles preceded both touchdowns. Sixty thousand jammed the Pasadena Stadium to watch this Tournament of Roses spectacle write finish to the football season.
