THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1895. Che fourth annual intercollegiate foot- | | game between the University of Cali- { fornmia and Stanford football teams will be I contested at Central Park this afternoon for the magnificent trophy that has been red by the Uaiversity Club, the condi- tions of which are that the team that wins the trophy three times will become its owner., The first game for the trophy was played on Thanksgiving day, 1892, and | terminated in a tie. The second game was | played on the same day of the subsequent | year and ended also in a tie.

O war-cry ye{proposed seems to fill the place of the'id U. C. yell. Arrangements have been made whereby the cheering to be done to-day will be ren- dered in unison. Three students have been appointed to act asleaders. They are Hirst 96, Miller ’67 and Quinan ’97. Hirst has been off in the woods for the past week practicing velling with the as- sistance of a_huge cane, which has been | f\lrchased bY the student body to be usea | 0 r leading the yelling and singing of the | university whenever occasion demanded. Berkeley’s mascot will be a five-months’ old cinnamon bear, which wil! be decorated with the university colors. 3 The idea of choosing the State of Cali- fornia’s emblem as a mascot was suggested to theleaders of the “rooting” by Professor C. M. Gayley’s song, “The Golden Bear,” which will be sung at the game. The players came over 1n a body on_the 4 o’clock ‘train yesterday afternoon from Berkeley, and were quartered at the Oc dental. " They spent the evening in social billiard-room. From their jovial laughs and boyish jokes no one would think they were on the'eve of a great battle. Follow- ing will be the line-up.

This is his first season on the Var- y, however, and but for his comparative Jight weight he would be considered as a man whose capabilities for the wvosition are beyond the ordinary. He is short and | stocky of build, tipping the beam at oniy 180. - Of late he has been playing close to the ground, and Greisberg, his opponent, has frequently felt his hot _drives and superior staving qualities. Up to a short time ago Selfridge did not put up a sufficiently aggressive game, but since close attention has been given by the coach to this one particular he has been doing admirably. Greisberg, '99, will sub for Selfridge. Plunkett, 97, the ‘‘Varsity's strong guard,swho has served the blue and gold for the past two seasons, is again on deck with his characteristic qualities for driv- | ing the line primed to perfection. | Of all the men on the team| he has undoubtedly been the most | fortunate so far as injuries are concerned. | The only inconvenience ne has suffered during the season was occasioned by a slight twist of the knee. To-day heis in the pink of condition, and with a little more determination to take down the man with the ball, after having passed his op- ponent, Plunkett should put up a star game. He will weigh in at 200, is 20 years old and stands just 6 feet. As for left guard, Wallthall of the law colleze is the man who is billed for that position. He was a comparative novice at the game when the season of '95 opened, but by hard and continued training and close attention to_instructions he has out- paced several other promising candidates ‘Wilson, Selfridge. for his position. He is rich in ali the physical qualifications for a crack man at guard, and will doubtless make a com- parable mate for Plunkett. Wallthall breaks_through the line admirably, but there is often danger of his going “in the opposite direction from the ball, thus There is frequently danger of bis fouling by making too high tackles, but the recent practice yames have broken him of this defect to a great extent. He stands r 6 feet in his stockings, weighs 200 and is just 24, The subguards will be Radelfinger and Jessen. Douglas, '99, the right tackle, is another man of but little experience on the grid- iron, but possessing an excellent constitu- tion and rare physical development. It was not long before it was whispered about the campus that he had a cinch on the team. Misfortune overtook him, however, about three weeks ago, and much doubt | was expressed as to whether he would be able to qualify for the Varsity on acconnt of a bad case of water on the knees. This has been almost wholly overcome, how- ever, and he is to-day one of the strongest men on the team. His chief weakness as to playing seems to be that he does not put up a sufficiently strong defensive game. In running with'the ball he nas improved to a marked degree. At first he had a te dency to run around too far and thus lay himself liable to tackling from unprotected g | Sch | kicks. His work at breaking interference quarters. His height is 6 feet and weight 180 pounds. Reinhart, the left tackle, weighs 175 ounds, stands 5 feet 10 inches, and is past is twenty-fifth year. He has been in’ practice for only’ two weeks, and during that time has grasped many principles of the game. Two years ago he was fimked as a good player and if he but had another week in which to prepare for the intercol- legiate game great things might be ex- pected of him. He has the build, the weight and the requisite strength for a star tackle. Though he has had but little practice with the team, yet having entered with hard muscles, this drawback has been somewhat overcome. He was given a place on the Varsity at the very outset and in consequence had to put more than ordinary will power into his playing be- cause of lack of wind. Ludlow has given him a hard pace for the position. As for subs to the tackles, Ludlow and Jessen are the only available men. Hutchinson, '99, will look after the wel- fare of the left end of the line. Though this is his first year in the university it is not his first season at football. For sev- eral years past he has been prominenily ed with the amateur chasers of the n on this side of the bay, having ed endon both the Oakland High ool and Reliance teams. The coach says that Hutchinson picks his man out of an interference better than any other vlayer on the field. He gets down the field with more than ordinary rapidity and sel- dom fails to take down his man at the touch of the ball. He stands 5 feet 9 inches, weighs 150 and is 20 years of age. Wilson, ’96, the other end man, has served Berkeley for the past two seasons and is conceded to be one of best players | in his position on the coast. Heis?22 years (;f xtlge, tips the beam at 168 and stands 5 | eet 714, . With Hutchinson the ends of Berkeley’s line will be ver{)e\\'ill fortified, and inter- | ference bhas to beyond the ordinary to | pass them. Wilson is fast down the fields, | both with the ball and in_ getting under | i bas much improved within the past fort- | night, and he has shown himselr capable | of good service at protecting his own men. | Ely and Julien willtake tue places of thesg] men should they have to leave the fich? for any cause. Kennedy, though somewhat disabled, will stay with quarter as long as his strength holds out. His injuries, though not serious, may prevent him from stay- ing with his place the entire game. He'is quick and accurate at passing the ball, and uses good judgment in signaling to the team. He has a tendency to not Fea\'e his place quick enough to be of much assist. ance to the halves in one-end play, but when it comes to line-bucking he gets into the midst all over. Bender, who Ransome. was a few days ago thought to be a sure sub to Kenned 50 been injured and the probability now is that Haskell will be called upon 1f Kennedy drops out. He is 21 years old, stands 5 feet 8, weighs 150 and is a member of the class of 97, Captain Sherman, '97, and Hupp, '97, will enter the game as halves, but much | doubt is expressed as to Hupp’s ability to | stay on the field for Jong on ac-| count of his sprained ankle. Ten | days ago he could hardly walk about | the campus, but, like Frankenheimer of Stanford, he has nursed his wounded | member carefully, and will go into the ! game and remain there until carried from | the field. At the opening of the season | Hupp's playing was somewhat erratic, but Butterworth looked after hisinterests care- lly, and now he does very well in his po- | sition. While playing he puts up a quick, | hard, strong game, but be is lacking in en- | durance. His work at times is more than brilliant. Hupp is 23, stands 5 feet 8 | inches, weighs 155 pounds. Captain_Sherman has lately changed from his old place at end to half, and botn Butterwortb and Cam innovation an admirable one. The change was made because of the crippled condition of the backs, and also through the design of the coach to place their captain where he could command a view of the team and thus be better able to judge as toplays. Sherman's light weight makes him almost useless for interference behind the line in deiensive plays. catching punts he is weak, but as for see- ing holes n the line and going through them he is much above theaverage. Sher- man is now 20 years of age, weighs 140 pounds and touches the 5 feet 7 inches mark. Hilborn, Carr and Rhubottom will be ready on the side lines as sub-halves. Ransome, 97, is_for the third year to serve the university as full back, with Kaarsburg as an alternative. “In most_respects,” says Butterworth, “Ransome is filling the position of full- back as well as could be wished. He isa good all-round man and very useful to his Top Row—O. V. Eaton (Manager), Garton, C. Second Row—Robinson, Rice, Dole, Carle, € Third Row—Code, Leavitt, Overacker, McIntosh, Weldon, Holbrook.

When the Re- {diance teain went on thewr northern trip a few weeks ago, Pringle was seem to think the | In | team. He is in every play, and a good man when he takes the ball. If his kick- ing is up to the standard, his work will be a ure of the game.” Ransome is another one of the un- fortunates, having sprained his knees about ten days ago, which has kept him from playing with his usual snap and vigor. His punting, always admirable, has improved much under the tutelage of Butterworth, whose forte is punting. TRansome can nearly always be counted on for a few yards when a buck is ne in order fo save the bLall. His a fiums, however, are the strings upon which is reputation hangs. Taking the team as a unit, they may be safely judged superior to the Varsity of 1854, in particular from the point of view.| eed and snap at playing. As for in- juries to some of the best men, the two years are about on a par. Though the most of the players have had over two months’ practice together, which fact would seem to point toward unifying their work, yet so much effort and strength has been sacrificed that their plays within the past week have been more than erdi- narily loose. Many of the men com- plained recently of being tired and lacking in inert energy, but they expressed hope that the two or three days of rest just prior to_the game would overcome the loss of spirit. As officials for the ‘game, Managers Lang and Eaton have acreed upon Ed. Pringle of the Reliance Club, Harvey of the Bos- ton Technology Institute and Whitney of Yale. Pringle of QaXkland is well known in football circles, having been- directly connected with the Reliance Club team for the past two years. He graduated from Yale in 1894 and is himself a player of no mean order. In the Chicago-Reliance game, played on last New Year’s day, he held down the position of right tackle ing feat their financial manager, as well asall-round dviser. He will serve as referee. Har- vey, who will umpire the big game, is a graduate of the Boston School of Technol- ozy. After several years’ service on the team of his college he joined the Boston Plunkett. Kennedy. Athletic Club and played on a team made up of the club members. He is generally looked upon 2s being an able authority on the principles of football. Whitney, who is to be the linesman, is also from the East, having gained his foot- ball experience at Yale. Last season he played quarter for the Reliance Club in good style, and as for his doing the square thing in to-day’s game there “seems to be no question. Pt S STANFORD TEAM. The Latest News Alto Football rent. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Nov. The Stanford team has at last been se- lected and the men who are to uphold the honor of the cardinal against the blue and gold have been announced by Captain Cochran. The line-up is somethingof a surprise. for the places are filled in one or two instances by new men or by men who have not had very much practice in the itions they will holt down. T'he line up will be as follows: Center, Williams, '97; right guard, Carle, '93; left guard, Fi '97; right tackle, Cotton, ’98; leit tackle, Campbell, '96: right end, Spalding, '96; leit end, Jeffs, '98; quarter, Code, '96; right half. Jackson Reynolds, ’96; left half, Frankenheimer, '96; full- back, Cochran. 96 (captain). Substitutes— Dole, Harrington, Rice, Thomas, Lewers, Bunker, Leavitt, McIntosh, her, H. Reynolds, B. Thomas, Frazfer, Weldon. This evening aiter reaching Woodside the team plaved its last practice zame, which was a very vigorousand satisfactory one. The rain interfered somewhat with practice to-day, but signal practice was continued throughout the forenoon and | was resumed in the afternoon. ‘I'he men are in fair condition. Cochran has | contracted a slight cold and Reynolds is | also suffering from a cold. Franken- heimer is playing again and will ‘enter the game. Hisankle bothers him somewhat, | but he expects to be ready for the ball to- | morrow. Campsays that the game largely depends | on the five center men, but the entire Stanford team will put up the game of its life. While not at all confident of down- ing U. C. the boys will do their best to ac- complish that very thing. Their practice at Woodside has given the men wind and | endurance. Itis expected that Berkeley will commence with a rushing game, but | she will find herself pretty well stopped, if indications go for much. Mrs. Camp visited the men to-day. She expresses the opinion that they are in de- cidedly better form than was the case Saturday. Every man is prepared to do or die on the field to-morrow, so the game is bound to be no walk-over for Berkeley at any rate. Allis excitement at the university. The students are wrought up to a pitch of in- tense enthusiasm and a big time is autici- pated this ev/~ing, when songs and yells will be rehearsed. Just how the rain will affect the game to-morrow is a much-mooted question. As the two teams are of equal weight the mud will favor mass plays of neither team. Stanford cannot use her half-back at end running, but Berkeley will lose something by the interference of a wet ball with Ran- some's long punts. No one can tell what the outcoms will be, but a thousand Stanford students will to- morrow root their hardest for a team in which much confidence can be placed in the hope that cardinal will remain in the ascendent. of the Palo Contin- —_—— COMING OF THE TEAMS. Berkeley Arrived Last Night and Palo Alto Men to Come at 11 This Morning. The great intercollggiate football game will begin at 2:30 0’clock to-day. Over 6000 reserved seats have been sold, and there will be fully that many more people who will go in on general-admission tick- ets, and two or three thousand of them will be content to stand. It wiil be the fifth annual intercollegiate match hetween Galifornia and Stanford. The first game was played in Mareh, 1892, and Stanford won—14 to 10. In De- cember of that year the two teams met for their second game and it resulted in a tie, each scoring 10. The first regular Thanks- giving match was that played in 1893, It was the third annual match and another tie, the score being 6 to 6. Last Thanks- giving Stanford broke the long-standing tie by winning the mateh—6 to 0. The Berkeley players came over and put up at the Occidental Hotel yesterday. They spent the evening quietly. The Stanford squad wiil come up on the fast train this morning, the San Jose flyer making a special stop at Redwood to pick them up after their early ride from Wood- side. The men will arrive in this City about 11 o’clock and will go to the Pleasanton. Both teams have suffered from injuries to players. the Palo Alto men having been varticularly unfortunate in that respect this season. The Berkeley halfback (Hupp) and the Stanford haliback (Franken- heimer) will go into the game each with a very lame ankle that may prevent their lasting through the first half, but each man has a strong alternate to take his vlace. The big Stanford contingent will leave to Stanford. Another special train will come from Vallejo. ; The two teams as they will face each oth- er is shown below. It will be seen by com- paring weights that the rush line of the California team has an advantage in some 25 pounds weight, while the Stanford backs outweigh the Berkeley backs by nearly 50 pounds, thus making the Staniord eleven, as a team, about 25 pounds heavier than the U. C. men. U. C. Hutchinson, 155 Reinbardt, 17 Wallthall, 195.. Seiridge, 187 Plunkett, 200 6. e L. end L.. eff, 145 Quarter. Code, 147 1 1 mq Hiloorn, 165 } L balt R{ nolds, 173 Franknhmer, 166 H.

CATOR ON CO-OPERATION, Revolutions May Be Precipi- tated by Unexpected Events. Capt. Sherman, 140 | R. hat L{ Ransome, 184... We Are on the Eve of an Awakening Such As the World Has Never Seen. Thomas V. Cator addressed a large audi- ence at the Turk-street Socialist Temple last evening on the theme, “National Co- operation.” Said the speaker: Human institutions are of a necessity built around & center. Society isa mighty soliderity, The center is always, strange as it may seem, an idea. National life ver rise higher than the aspiration of its individuals. Institu- tions and customs owe :their prolonged ex- istence to dominant ideas. In order to study beneficent systems we must study the bene- ficiary.

He must have, on the physical side food, shelter, clothing and exercise, even toil, if you call it so. On the mental side he reqiures knowledge. To reach the end de- signed man must have both toil and leisure, Heretofore it has been true that only the man who can command leisure can command knowledge. The measure of the limit of toil is that de- gree which is intenaed to develop and main- tain physical perfection. A life of excessive hysical toil tends to degrade a man to & con- dition of slavery. Tt is possible to keep within that limit and ‘still produce all that is neces- sary for the consumption of the world. 1 need not remind you that slavery in_some s always existed, but the wage-slavery 1ing the most dangerous of all. ie laborer is a commodity. He may not choose a residence, for he is controlled by the rise and fall of the market. Laborers are paupers in Europe. That fact is recognized by the legislators, who have coined the term” “pauper labor.” That man is & pauper who cannot support his family in comfort and lay aside enough to provide for himself and others in Both ends of thesocial system are in confla- gration because of the violation of the law of being. Wealth, extreme wealth, is as much opposed to the law of being s is poverty. Ab- solute idleness begets wandering desire. With- out any labor 1o work off the exuberance of youthful strength his wandering desires lead the young millionaire into all matiner of wild excésses. On the other hand every man has a right to the leisure that will enable him to gain knowledge necessary for his success iu life. Our machines are locked up, We are. told overproduction is the cause of those closed doors and silent wheels, but there has never been overproduction. There cannot be over- production while families are in want. I I read the signs aright we are are on the eve of a great awakening, such as the world has never seen.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald is deeply inv terested in the matter of goods made in East- ern prisons and sent to this State and sold on the same footing as goods manutactured by free men. Yesterday he addressed letters to thirty labor commissioners in the East for data and information upon the subject. He ,asked the number and names of penitentiaries or jails in their States where commercial articles are manufactured; annual product of different commodities produced; amount and value of same; to whom these articles are sold; names and addresses of contractors or purchasers; amount and value of said goods sold and de- livered in the State of California annually; names and persons to whom the said goods are consigned in the State of California; methods of identification of prison-made articles; how branded; any other information pertinent to the subject, such as laws, etc., and opinions of trades unions concerning the same. fo; .
