Many Californians will never forget the thrill they experienced when Jockey Adams rode six winners in a row (five of them long shots) at Bay Meadows one afternoon last spring-a feat that only seven U. S. jockeys have ever accomplished. Others who had seen him break a leg during a race at Del Mar last summer, marveled at his ability to be out in front again after being dismounted for two months. A barrel-chested pee-wee (4 ft. 8 in.) who learned to ride on the Western "bush"' tracks (county fairs), still lives in a trailer...

...against Yale by their work. While disappointing with his passes, tailback Harding nevertheless did the hardest running on the field and three times advanced the spheroid to within inches of scoring on fine runs. Gardella continued to outshine all the Crimson pass defenders, which was a none too difficult feat Saturday, and also had the honor of making the first two first downs...
