The Stanford Axe will never be stolen from Cal again if present tentative plans for a theft-proof display case are carried out.
An ASUC spokesman has announced that a "satisfactory display case will be constructed for the trophy, but he did not elaborate as to just what it would be.
"It could be that it will be burglar-proof," he said.
At present the Axe is resting in a fireproof vault in Stephens Union. Only an expert safecracker could steal it from its present hiding place, the spokesman commented.
The real Axe turned up Saturday morning in team captain Norm Manoogian's car, which was parked near the President Hotel in Palo Alto. Accompanying the Axe was a note which concluded:
"Rest assured that this is the real Stanford Axe, the same which was removed from the plaque last June. Accept no substitutes."
