THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1896. COULD BUTTE MATCH THESE MEN? An All-California Football Team of Picked Players. ‘ weight, his knack in keeping always close to the ball and frequently securing it on fumbles or by stealing it, constitute points that after the disadvantages of his light- ness are deducted a balance remains in his favor that makes him more valuable to a team than a beavier tackler, as was shown especially by his record in the Thanksgiving game when opposed to a tackle thirty-four pounas heavier than himself. Thomas showed himself the match of Simpson, man to men, in the Thanksgiv- ing game, and in addition to that here- peatedly figured more prominently in plays eisewhere on the field. He used his weight well in smashing up heavy inter- ference, though much cf his tackling, be- cause too high, was not so good as that of many of the other tackles. That men who played against and behind both Thomas and Rice ranked Rice as_the bet- ter tackle would indicate that Simpson, Eleven Chosen for Particular Merit During Season’s Games Seven From Stanford, Two From Cali- | fornia, Two From O!ympic, None | From Reliance. though possessed of considerable reputa- tion as a dangerous opponent, did not show such valuable form as to displace either of these men for a place on the All- Catifornia team. N Fickert's general and unfailing reliabil- 7, In other seasons and in this season especially, in being just where he was needed at the proper time, and always taking good care of his man without starr- ing one moment and relaxing in vigilance | ana ekill the next, mark him as a most valuable but not brilhant guard. Not nearly the equal in interference alone of | the formidable Oiiver, nor near the equal Recently a memberof the Olympic Club, | of Sheehy in running with the ball, the prominent for the interest he takes athletics, wrote, while on a visit to Butte City, Mont., that in his opinion the Butte football team, as now constituted, could defeat any eleven that could be got to- | gether from the playerson the coast. 1t is safe to say that the numerous men | in | forming and gathered about the four big | elevens of this State constitute the best of the developed and actively engaged foot- ball material now on the coast. An All- €alifornia team this season would there fore be an All-Pacific-Coast team. Witk this season’s football games among the big teams of the State—Stanford, Cali- fornia, Olympic and Reliance—decided and the abilities of the various players fairly well demonstrated, the question naturally arises, Who of all the football | material would now properly consiitute | an All-California team? The selection of | men for such an eleven 1s in some cases a | difficult matter even for one who has care- fully watched all this season’s games and bas witnessed every match of any impor- | tance played about San Francisco Bay | during the last five years, together with | innumerable practice games and minor footbali contests. The work of certain playsrs stands out | with sufficient prominence, however, to | ure them a place to begin with on the All-California team. hese men are Run- some of California for fullback, Cotton of Stanford for halfback, Nolan of Olympic for end, Williams of Stanford for center, aud Carle of Stanford for guard. It is notso easy to choose the best men for the other six positions. Nor probably will every football enthusiast, particularly if he be strongly in favor of a certain team, agree h the selections here made. They are based entirely upon an estimate of each man’s ability and reliability in his par-| ticular position in all branches of botn | offensive and defensive play and in emergencies, as shown by his perform- ances, not in one brilliant exhibition or in one unfortunate experience, but through- out all the games in which he played, | and judging alike Lis strong pointsand | his weak points. | Here, then, is the team that might properiy be termed the pick of the se son’s crop of players, 8. standing for Stan- ford, C. for California, O. for Olympic and R. for Reliance: Nolan (O McCortm and Straight (8.); substi- (8. mpson (C.) and ds—Carle (8.) and Fick ehy (C substitute—Ames (0.) | | | (O substitute—Kennedy 8). tton (S.) and Hall ( ad Walton (R.). C.); substitute—Stick- substi- ullbac ey (0.) or Murphy (S Now for the ecific reasons for the choice of these men over others, and par- ticularly over those thought so little in- {erior that they have been selected as sub- stitutes or alternates for the different places. | Ransome is probably the greatest foot- player that has ever been at the Uni- | ¢ of California. His work a: the | d High School promised much, four years’ service on the Califor- | nia Varsity fulfilled that promise. D ing tbe last three years he did the kicking | for his team, and his all-round playing, as a heavy, powerful runner in a scattered | field, as a line-bucker, as an interferer, as a punter and as & tackler, easily entitles | him to tne reputation of being th- best fuliback that has ever played on the Pa- cific Coast. That he did not play in the recent Thanksgiving game in the perfec- tion of his usual form was due partiy to the fact that his line could not affcrd him proper protection, and largely to the im- mense responsibility that devolved upon him alone as captain and star player of a certainly outclassed team. Cotton, though he occupied the full- position for the first time in the Thanksgiving match, practically played as & halfback, for he was never once called upon to kick, which 1s one of the most important functions of the position, nor was 1t intended that he should punt. He was simply put in the place at the eleventh hour, as he had before been placed in other vulnerable positions, be- cause his. unusual versatility fitted him for any place on the team. The speed that made him useful as an end rush one year, the tackling and great weight that made him effective as a tackle last year and the unprecedented line-bucking abil- ity of this year, never before equalled on this coast by any player, together with a tenacity in handling the ball, combine in making Cotton probab!y the surest ground- gainer of any of the backs and at the same time an all-round player of too great value to be left off this picked eleven. Nolan’s quickness and sureness in reaching the runner, his hard and in- fallible tackling and his ability to run with the ball mark him as by far the best end that has played on the coast. That he is an exceptional man in the position is attested by the fact that although a West Pointer, and therefore to a certain extent not so prominently noticed as layers on the big four college teams— ale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Har- vard—he was last year named as end on the imaginary All-America team. Williams’ constantly aggressive playing both on the offensive and defensive, his ability to care for his opponent and still figure prominently in tackling far from his place in the line, his passing, his suc- cess in biocking kicks and his cleverness in getting down the field and in keeping close to the ball entitle him to the dis tinction of first place among the centers on the coast, though he is the lightest of the big centers, with the exception of Carr, who, though aeserving of credit and praise for his grit, was completely out- classed by Williams; one significant proof of this statement being the thirty-eight gains made through California’s center in the Thanksgiving match to the four made through Stanford’s center. - Carle is the heaviest gooa football player on the coast, weighing in ordinary dress 225 pounds, He is particularly agile and is built near the ground. He em- ploys these natural advantazes in his pe- caliar style of play and with a success that those who have seen him make openings tor the backs can attest, The assistance be gives his side partners is also a valu- able feature of his reliabie though not par- ticularly noticeable play. Straight’s steady, conscientious work in etting down the field on kicks, in tack- ing and particularly in offensive play in helping to box the other tackle, renders him a valuable end and probably the pick of the collegians and the superior of the club ends, exceptipg, of course, Nolan. Rice’s hard, aggressive, steady playing and low tackling, his knowledge and em- | dashing, | big Stanford captain displayed other and | more all-round qualifications for the posi- tion, and proved himeself a greater factor |in a team than is Smith, the Olympic |8 any of the four years he played quarter for Stanford. clean passing, bis hard, demon-like playing 1n con- tinnally breaking through the line to spoil the pass, his interfering for the runner, his kicking from the quarterback’s posi- tion, and even his tackling ail combined to make the Olympic quarter as a quarter robably the best man in the position. Murphy, the Stanford quarter, demon- strated that in football generalship he probably has no equal on the coast ex- cepting, perhaps, Sticknev.. His punting and running with the ball wereadmizrable, | but with no disparagement to his britliant showing as a {reshman yet undeveloped by Varsity coaching to his possibilities, it must be said that simply as a quarter Murphy was not the equal of Code, Ken- nedy, McIntosh, and perhaps Arlett, be- cause he rarely tackled, seldom got into ush, and was. outclassed by the interference. But without Ransome to kick Murphy would, because of his kicking and gener- als:ip, undoubtedly be a more valuable man than Code to the All-California team. He is, however, like Stickney, who is probably the best all-ronnd player on the coast, not so well fitted for a particular position as some other men of less versa- tility. Hall’s fast end-running, his interference and ability to take advantage of interfer- ence, his weight, his sureness in hardiing tue ball and hiseffective advances througi a scattered held should give him a place as one of the two most yaluable halfbacks that the State could offer this season for a representative team. Hall's playing in all his gnmes was admirable and in the Thanksgiving match appeared to be the best in the California team, He and Cotton would make a pair of big, heavy, fairly speedy and most reliable ground-raining and "defensive halfbacks. Neither would be so speedy as Walton, but both would probably be more reiiable in tackling, in catching punts and 1n in- terfering. Both would outweigh Stickney by from about twenty-five to thirty-five pounds, and would be proportionately val- uable in line bucking and heavy interfer- ence on end runs. haifs less valuable, experienced at the game and reliable, Stickney would get the place, and his aceurate and scientific kick- ing might be of sufficient value in a game to equal or aiscount great weight and more specific qualifications for the primary duties of the halfbuck. This, the is an All California eleven uard. Code did better work this season than in | Were either of these | that might be got together from the best players on this coast. What could it do against the Butte team if given a week’s practice in teamwork and signals.? Not aman on this picked team has played football less than three seasons, and some have had six years’ experience. All have received the best coaching in Eastern methods. Not one of them is a quitter, nor, as experience has shown, are they | the kind that are laid out in a game, or that cost their team the penalties for off- side or foul playing or holding in the line. Unless there has been a miraculous im- provement in the quality of 1ootball played by the big Butte team here a year ago, this All-California team could in all probability outclass it almost man for man in all those points of play that distin- guish football from a game of terrific strength, with.here and there a phenom- enally fleet-footed man valuable in ad- vancing the ball, but of little use in de- fensive play. And right here credit should be given one unusually fast runner, whose defensive play in the Thanksgiving game was exceptionally fine and particularly surprising in view of bhis earlier per- formances. Searight's defensive work as | a halfback in that game was to be com- | pared with that of Frankenheimer in sea- sons past. That this All-California team could de- feat Butte will never be actually proven, but on Christmas afternoon when Butte meets Olympic at Central Park a good line onught to be furnished on what tbe score would be. This morning the Butte team will arrive in this City direct from Montana by special car. | THE DIAMOND PALACE, to Retire 1s Andrews’ Desire ¥From Business Absolute. As the readers of THE CALL are aware, our distinguished fellow-townsman, Colo- nel Andrews, announced his intention some time ago of closing up his business and retiring from active life. The colonel informed » reporter to-day that he would adhere to this resolution and that he would sacrifice his entire stock for this purpose. His magnificent stock of dia- monds will be sold 35 per cent less than any other house in the City. Silverwars, regardless of the most ex- quisite design &nd costly make, will be closed out at 95 cents per ounce. At this time of the year, when irrespon- sible people are offering unreliable induce- ments to purchasers, it is a fortunate thing that intending buyers of Christmas jewelry and objets d’art can avail them- selves of the colonel’s assurance of an 1m- mense reduction, which, as theentire com- munity knows, is absolutely a gnarantee of quality and price. TrE CALL regrets the colonel’s departure from San Francisco’s business life, of which be has formed so important a his- torical part, together with the disappear- ance of the famous Diamond Palace, which stanas without a peer in the world. ————————— Mine Sold in Madera County. A three-quarter interest in the Syndieate mine, situated near Grub Gulch, Madera County, has been sold through the Gold Mining Exchange. Immediately after the sale ore was struck in the shait which aver- aged £100 per ton. The party purchasing the property has been offered over $100,000 ad- vance on the price he paid_for his interest, which he has refused, and he 1s now in San Francisco arranging for machinery for a ten- stamp mill to be placed upon the mine. Colonel Steamboat and Ship Builders. Articles of incorporation of the J. 8. Kimball Company have been filed, the purposes of the incorporation being to build and deal in ships and boats and to operate the same, as well as to engage in the lumbering business and other meatters of like tmport. The incornorators are: John 5 Kimball, Charies E. Kimball, Helen N. Kimball, John H. Bullock and Charles E. Wilson. The capital stock is $500,000. 2 On an average three British seamen lose their lives every day by drowning and three hundred Briiish steamers and sailing vessels are lost yearly at sea. THESE WILL RULE THE COMMITTEES Chairmen Selected Last Night at a Caucus of Supervisors-Elect, = Dr. Rottanzt Chosen the Head of the Finance Committee to Dr. Clinton’s forrow. Morton, Republican, Given a Place on Outside Lands B:cause There Was No Democrat for It. There was a caucus of Supervisors-elect last evening in the office of Dr. T. A. Rot- tanzi for the purpose of selecting the chair- men of standing committees of the board. Supervisor-elect Britt, on account of his parliamentary knowledge, was selected to preside. There was no contest for any of the po- sitions except for the Finance Committee. Dr. Clinton wanted the position, so did Dr. Rottanzi, and there was quite a little struggle for the place. To the disappoint- ment of Dr. Clinton his opponent got away with the prize by a vote of 5 to 2. The defeated doctor then announced that he wanted the chairmanship of the Outside Lands Committee, but after some talk he agreed to take the Water Committee with the un- derstanding that he wonld be allowed to choose his associates. As Brittand Dodge voted for him for the Finance Committee it is possible that they will be his asso- ciates. Lackman (R.) had experienced a desire for the chairmanship of the License Com- mittee and Smith (R.) also wanted to be on the Judiciary Committee, so he was allowed that position. There was but one chairmanship to fill, with no Democrats and only one Republican left unprovided for. This was the Outside Lands Commit- tee and that went to Morton. The chairmanships as decided in caucus are as follows: Finance—Rottanzi (D.) Streets—Devaney (D.) Hospital—Dodge (D.) Water—Clinton (D.) Health and Police—Delaney (D.) Printing—Heskins (D.) Lights—Rivers (D.) Fire Department—Britt (D.) Public Buildings—8heehan (D.) Judiciary—8mith (R.) License—Lackman (R.) Outside Lands—Morton (R.) The meeting, outside of the contest on the Finance Committee, was a very har- monious one, and’ there was an agree- ment until some date not yet determined upon to make a selection of those who will act in conjunction with the several heads of committees. Gold in Paying Quantities. CALHOUN, NEsr., Dec. 22.—Dr. Rother- niel of Denver was here S8unday and went over the Wagner farm, on which it was claimed gold in paying guantities was dis- covered last spring. e declares that there are several gold veins, one of which will run $50 to the ton in gold and all of which will pay to work. The news has revived the excitement here when the first announcement that go'd had been discov- ered was made and owners of adjoining farms will begin sinking shafts at once. Dr. Rothermel left Sunday evening for the Black Hills, where he goes in the in- terest of the Bik Horn Railroaq, to locate mineral deposits along the line of the railroad. ; g IN THE SUPKEME COURT. Some Cases of Unusual Interest Come Up for Consideration. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.—In an opinion filed by Justice Brewer of the Su- preme Court of the United States the val- idity of the laws of the territory of Arizona were sustained relating to the collection of desinguent taxes. The court's mandate was ordered to issue instanter in the ap- peals of the Western Union Telegraph Company from the judgment of the Su- preme Court of Ohio, affirming the tax law of that State. Last week the tele- graph company gave notice that it would abandon the appeals. Solicitor-General Conrad moved the court to set aside 1ts judgment in the case of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com- pany vs. Leonard P. Colburn and grant a rehearing because of newly discovered in- terests of the United States. The time within which the mandate of the court should issue on its judgment in favor of Colburn was extended sixty days. The case of T. La Koo-Jel-Leo, an Alaska Indian under sentence of death for murder, was set for argument on the first Monday in March. This is the first capital case from Alaska. By a divided court, the judgment of the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Iilinols in favor of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company was affirmed. The United States sued the railroad company for the amount of tolls received by it for transporting freight cars of other roads_ accross the Government bridge over the Mississippi River at Rock Island, but the Circuit Courtdismissed the bill, and now it stays dismissed. At the conclusion of the session of to- day the court adjourned until the first Monaay in January. ——— Must Turn Over the Funds, OMAHA, NeBr., Dec. 22.—The case of E. N. Westervelt, receiver of the Citizens’ National Bank of Grand Island, against George A. Mohrenstecker and his bonds- men, have returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for $10,000 and interest, amounting in all to $11,680 25. The de- fendant was cashier of the defunct bank and it was charged in the petition that he misappropriated funds to the amount of over $10,000 to himself and A. H. Baker, which were invested in real estate, and that he made excess loans to himself and Baker for $25,475. e g National Standard for Grain. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.—In the Senate to-day Gear submitted a favorable report on the bill to establish a National standard for grain. The bill has the in- dorsement of the Agricultural Depart- ment, which says it is commendable and seeks to find a standard for classifying and grading grains which may be used in interstate and foreign trade, and 1s only less in importance than the fixing by Congress of the standard of withdrawals and measures. S Allison for Premter. WASHINGTON, D. C,, Dec, 22.—It is stated on good authority here that Sena- tor Allison has been offered the position of Secretary of State in McKinley’s Cab- inet. Opinion is much divided as to whether he will accept.
