Because of the transfer rule, the
fall rushing season may have con

THEY SCATTER, TOO
California, which boasts of rais
ing great athletes, could point out
that 47 gridsters from the Sun
shine state perforrfced, in other
climes, from the Atlantic seaboard,
west. Of course, many of them
went to northern members of the
Coast conference — Washington,
Washington State, Oregon, Oregon
State,. Idaho and Montana; but
others played for Princeton, Penn
sylvania. Dartmouth, Notre Dame,
Chicago, Navy, Army, Arizona.
Nevada and Rocky Mountain con
ference teams.
Even so, California's big four—
Stanford, Southern California,
California, and University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles—appear to
have fared quite well. Some of the
schools even have established ju
nior college "farms" where athletes
are sent for conditioning, or until
they are needed.
The trouble with that plan is
that the stars often change then
minds and suddenly <ppp up at an
opposing institution.'
THEY DON'T STAY PUT
As an example of what can hap
pen, two northern California in
stitutions were running neck and
neck for the services of George
Theodoratus, giant tackle and
shot-putter. They reckoned with
no outside competition until the
big Greek star showed up at
Washington State.
A similar state of affairs, exist
ed in the case of George Ander
son, California's sprint sensation
from Pasadena. George was a close
friend of the son of one of Stan
ford’s mast important alumni
members.
