Tommy, as you know, is safely in his grave so almost any kind of gouge can be perpetrated in his name.

I have said before and now repeat there is absolutely no reason for increased prices for this fight other than greed. The promotion probably figures the Fucker public will stand for the additional bite. Maybe the suckers will. Let's check back a bit and see just what there is about these two young men that causes me to say. there is no justification for the in- creased prices.

CHECKING RECORDS Now as to quality: Both boys are good fighters. But the public, which has supported some poor shows in Oakland, is entitled to a good fight once in a' while and without any hike in prices. No claim for greatness can be made for either Flores or Moore. Flores' greatest claim to fame is that he once met Bob world's lightweight champion.

In between these bouts Flores won a lot of fights, some against pushovers, some against good boys.

So, when he fights in Oakland this week j'ou bounce five bucks.

But the victory counts just as much as if the score had been 47-14. which it was last year, and the Bears have their first Pacific Conference victory of the year in the boko. CAN GIVE CREDIT Maybe they were thinking about next week and their crucial game with U.S.C. but for the first time the 1947 Bears failed to surpass a 1946 performance. On the other hand, too muct credit cannot be siven to a fighting Washington State squad that was smartly defensed and shooting for the moon all me way.

The field was dry and fast and the day was sunny, but the 36.000 spectators trust have beer, disappointed if they expected anything like California's 48-7 victory over Wisconsin last week in Madison. Coach Pappy Waldorf had 50 men suued up for this, game and intended to use every one of them, but the surprising Cougar stand made that impossible. It was a battle all the way.

with Cal backed into a corner at the final gun. Perhaps this was the letdown that every team can expect some time during the season. Perhaps this scare today will make Cal all the stronger next week when the Trojans come to Berkeley. But meanwhile. Pappy can bank his lucky stars that he had Johnny there to carry the ball this afternoon.

It was his hard running he piled up 11 yards in 14 carries that kept California out in front The Bears started off in stride, receiving the opening kickoff and marching from their own 29 to the Washington State 24 in seven plays. Then Graves broke off tackle and rambled to the seven yard stripe-when he fumbled and John Peterson and Andy Lazor recovered. OUT ON THE 38 On third down. Bob George-kicked out to the 38. and this time Cal was not to be denied.

A Dick Erickson pass was incomplete, then Craves hit guard for six and Jack Swar.er went around rieht er.ci 18 yards and a first down on the 14. It was a nice run. Swaner was held for no gain at center, Graves made one yard at left end, then found the gate open down the middie and, ploushins through the Cougar secondary, went 13 vards to score. Jirn Cullom kicked1 the extra point, making the score 7 to 0 with' the game 8 minutes and 10 seconds old. At this point the 27 points didn't! seem to be enough.
