The wonderful weather encountered so far has been a pleasant surprise and even here, where Medicine Hat temperatures are a common occurrence, the thermometer showed 30 above. Rut the peaks and crags of the foothills bore evidence of heavy snows which had fallen here a week ago. THEY GET A REAL THRILL. Then came the real thrill of the trip crossing the Great Salt Lake.

The boys' eyes bulged out of their heads as they stood on the observation platform and traveled for two and a half hours through this body of water. The railroad, by one of the greatest feats of engineering, crosses the middle of the lake, and the wind-swept waves lashed within three feet of the cars. A 10-minute stop was made at Montello, where Coach Warner again ordered the boys out for a little gallop. The altitude Is still affecting their breathing apparatus and the boys themselves said they were Referee W. H.

'J 1 1 The Mountaineers of West Virginia are bent on keeping their record clean, while Gonzaga, although beaten twice this year, realizes it has a chance to get on the national football map. The Washington eleven had everything to win and nothing to lose.

For this reason Coach Dorais, formerly of Notre Dame, will in- struct his players to throw caution to the winds and take all sorts of chances. i On the other hand, West Virginia will play a conservative game. 1 No unnecessary chances will be taken and the team will play the glad they were getting to Palo Alto a week before the game so as to become accustomed to the climate. Leaving Reno at 8 o'clock, the train will pass through Sacramento at 5 tomorrow morning, one hour before rising time, and is due in Oakland at 8 o'clock. A half hour's run to Frisco and the great Journey will have been completed.

WILL GET BIG WELCOME. Word was received today that the California greeters had erected a giant Christmas tree in Golden Gate Park for the boys and that the team, having no training table, -will be guests at a regular Christmas dinner at the Olympic Club Monday noon. The rest of the day will be spent sightseeing and the squad will stop over night at the SK. Francis Hotel. A half-hour run Tuesday morning will take them to Palo Alto, the scene of the game, where they will be quartered in the new union dormitory of the school.

Fakers never have been popular in America, no matter how they iray be regarded in England.

PASADENA, Dec. 24. Penn State's football squad, known to the gridiron naturalists as the Nittany Lions, were tonight quietly reposing- in Pasadena, storing up their ferocious roars for January 1, when they will engage the University of Southern California in the annual East vs. West struggle. Coach Hugo Bezdek was accompanied by 22 players when he disembarked at Pasadena today and the athletes shaped up as regulation meat eaters.

According to the statistics, the Lions will outweight the Trojans about 12 pounds to the man. Two long hikes today and one or two workouts tomorrow are on the early program of the Lions and they will be governed from then on by the nature of the weather. Accompanying the team were Neil Fleming, graduate manager, Student Manager Parsons and Trainer Joe Martin. The celebrated tourists were met at the depot in Pasadena by representatives of the Tournament of Roses and a number of Penn State grads. that as California had represented the fense and the ball was In the local's territory three-fourths of the time.

PARIS, Dec. 31. Nobody wants the Pershing stadium; the city of Paris cannot give it away. The union of federations of slotting societies, to whom the municipal council offered the stadium recently, refused to accept it unless the city guaranteed the 100,000 francs necessary for its yearly upkeep. This the city, is not prepared to do, claiming the union's refusal was prompted by spite because the city favored the Pershing stadium for the Olympic games and voted a subsidy of only a million francs for the tXdoinbes stadium in connection with the 1021 Olympic meet.
