GREAT DOPE
IS PEDDLED
FROM SOUTH
California Sports Beiieve They
Are Whole Cheese, Reg
ular "Big Three."
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb, 20 Cali
fornia's (next great athletic product [
may be an intercollegiate “Big Three"
whose clashes may draw throngs al
most eiqual to those Which attend the
games and meets between the "Big
Throe” of .the East;, Yale, Harvard
and -Princeton. The University of
California, Stanford University and
the University of Southern California,
all natural rivals, would form the
new Western trio
Far-Western alhlotic observers see
this California “Big Three" rising
as a result of several happenings.
One is the construction of mammoth
stadiums for teams of each of the
(institutions. The California Stadium,
as planned, will seat 70,000. the Stan
ford arena holds 67,000, and the new
Pasadena stadium, which the IT. S. C. j
'Will use. will accommodate 60,000. j
Despite their size, however, none of
the Western amphitheaters will sin
pass the Yale Bowl, which holds j
75,000.
Another reason for the prediction;
is found in the faet that the three
schools are natural rivals. Stan-1
ford and California draw their stud
ents from Northern and Southern!
California., while the Los Angeles'
(school depends largely upon the1
country south of the Tctoachapl foi |
its athletes. Several years ago Stan 1
ford and California wore the out-1
standing" traditional rivals of this I
state, but in late years U. S. C
lhas been forging ahead and soon, it
is predicted, will be on a par with!
the other two. The Trojans have
defeated Stanford at football three j
times in as many years and their
game against California last year j
drew a crowd of 40.000 It will be |
several years yet, however, before j
they can equal the .Stanfor 1-Cali
tfornia crowds.
(Stanford took the lead in stadium j
"building in California when, in 1921.
it dug out its huge bowl. Pasadena
completed tits stadium last year. The
foundations for the great California
(howl have been Blared and it is ex
pcxatcd the structure will bf> ready
(for the football games of 1923.
The inauguration of this mythical
Western “Big Three” 'may, of course,
never come to pass. Even then it
•would not necessarily Involve the dis
ruption of the Pacific Coast Confer
ence. The California schools still
have too much respect for the ath
letic abilities of the Washington.
Oregon and Idaho members to think
of interfering with the conference -at
ith/ia time. Later, it is said, when
the northwest schools also have sta
diums proportionate with their grow
ling interest tin cotlogo athletics, the
Western “Bag Three” might even
become a “Big Eight.”

ATlliENS, Feb, 28.—C< irge. the
new King of Greece, h ■ probably
become convinced by thi time that
it depends on hint and on him alone
to keep his throne, and that he has
nothing to fear from the republican
retire. Foreign observers do not con
sider the Greek pcuple ripe for a
republican regime, and argue that
the sooner the promoters of the re
publican idea realize that fact the
be:tci iit will bo for the country.
George was popular as a printe,
and there is no reason why he
• boulo not lie popular as a king. As
for Elizabeth, the Queen, her beau
tiful and kindly features and lier
dignified bearing have created an
xcoll' nt first impression on the
pi pie. If the young sovereigns
ken aloof from politics, it is felt,
nothing will come to mar the hap
pine . of their reign.
An ideal sovereign fer Greece was
i lie late George I. observant Greek
declare, and his grandson, George II
cannot do better than follow In lii ■
■tc.pt. George I never interfered in
internal polities any further than lie
was tile wed to by the Constitution.
NVver during bis long rolgn of forty
years did he take unfair advantage
< f his royal prerogatives; never did
he refuse !e sign a decree approved
by the cabinet.
lit this latter connection it is not
uninteresting to chronicle a remark
once made by the late King Alex
tidtr, tlie present King's brother,
vho succeeded Constantine after his
first dethronement. Talking to a
ft tend one day about the exercise of
hit royal duties,, Alexander said:
"I never read decrees before sign
ing them. My grandfather never
road them, and lie reigned for forty
> ears, lie would have reigned long
er had he not been murdered. My
tiler used to read the decrees, and
he lost his throne. I shall do as
my giandfather did."
