Warner lost considerable prestige in recent years at Stanford, but he still knows his way about and it will be hard for his successor to do as well as he did.

oOo In the first place, the new coach must establish himself as the head man on The Farm. He probably has the confidence of the players end should be able to command the support of the student body, although he will have to build up some of the old "fight." He must create a new football psychology at Stanford, much as "Navy Bill" Ingram did during his first year at California. It is a potent factor in winning college football games. oOo Thoruehill, without "Pop" Warner's reputation, will find it hard to impress the alumni. If they had their fingers in the pie sufficiently to cause "Pop" to leave, they will probably want to tell "Tiny" plenty about how to run his business.

Thai's not a pleasant prospect. oOo It looks as if "Clipper" Smith and Ernie Nevers both sized up the situation pretty well and made it possible for Thornehill to get tha job. Nevers will eventually get his is hance as Stanford head coach, ac cording to all indications. He didn't even put in his application for the job in the present instance. Clip per Smith was also reported as a likely prospect, but he appeared ione too anxious for the post Both probably figure that the job of fol-' lowing Warner will be a tough spot1 rnd they would rather somebody tlse would "take' the rap.

To make the sitution a trifle more complicated, quite a number of pogies, likewise taken close to the Riverside avenue bridge and in a similar shape to the steelhead, were also turned over to Morelli, who also shipped them as exhibit species. To all outward appearances the fish appeared to oe in a perfectly healthy, normal condition, outside of a few fresh water parasites, that were found on their gills close to the mouth. 1 Deputy State Fish and Game Commissioner F. J.

McDermott, busy on other detail work outside of Santo Cruz, will naturally bend all efforts to find the direct cause as it existed yesterday. The two fish turned over for evidence were picked up by Louie Piffero, Bud Faraola and Frank Geyer, Who are daily fishermen on the stream. "Monk" Avilla, always an early arriva.l on the stream, reports that he saw nu- merous pogies swimming close to the surface of the water near the Riverside avenue bridge and others reported this same state of affairs. Granting that early morning conditions furnished somewhat of a flurry of excitement, there was no direct evidence to indicate that the fishy family were due for any premature extermination during the afternoon hours, as they were jump ing: as usual, even though they fail ed any greetings in the wy of bait lure offered them. Up to three o'clock not a single steelhead had been accounted for tives.

"Pop" Warner, who resigned to be- come coach at Temple University. The selection was made by the board of athletic control. Ratification by faculty authorities will be routine. Thus, at 39, Thornehill, a genial giant, with a crooked nose, a tender foot and a thorough understanding of the "Warner System," as his football heritage, succeeded the master he had followed since early manhood. While the gimlet eyed "Pop" car- ries his gridiron wizardry back to i the east, his disciple will carry on with the same system at Stanford.

Ernie Nevers, Ail-American fullback of 1925, became first assistant. Thornehill said he" contemplated only one change in the coaching staff.

Leathers put on a good match and on several occasions had the champion worried with a series of leg head-locks. Lewis tired of the exhibition after 37 minutes and planted a deadly headlock on Leathers, being given the fall by Referee "Colonel" Ted Hopkins amid the jeers of the fans. With a flat (pen left to the jaw, Lewis won the second match with "Red" Thornton, San Jose, after 15 minutes of slew and uninteresting wrestling. Nick Velcoff San Francisco, won from a newconer here, Pat Flanni-gan, Cornell, 17 minutes with a Japanese leg oek, Flannigan giving up as soon Velcoff secured the hold. Flanngan substituted for Ivan Grandoiteh, who failed to appear.
