Brain, the bean masent of the football team at California Univer- sity, has been banished from the sidelines during games, beenuse of the undue interest he showed in a recent game when he dashed on the field and tried to tackle one of the players. He also pursued the ball at the wrong time, so now he is chuined to the grandstand beside the "fans" who shout.
