The personnel of the two big university teams 1s now definitely decided upon. It was exclusively putlished in yesterday’s CaLy, together with the exact weights and the ages of the men, arranged in the or- der in which the individual opponents | will face each other on Thanksziving.

The players will go directly to the Qg!a: win Hotel, where they wiliremain quicey | until early Thursday afternoon, snortly before the game. Excepting Premo, the freshman end, who has water on the leit knee, and is no longer eligible; Castelbun, who is recov- ering from a carbuncle under the left ear, but will be easily able to go on the fieid as sub-guard or tackle, and Pringle, who, on Friday, sustained a slight injury to his left shoulder, but will not be hindered from_filling the right tackle position on the Varsitv, all the Caliiornia football players at Monterey are in good pnysical tri With the Stantord aggregation there is a strong, almost an unshaken, feeling of self-reliance, but nothing like boastful- ness or overconfidence, for many of the men are possessed of a wholesome respect for their opponents, and are a littleapore- hensive that what appears to most of | their partisans as a sure thing may, like many other sure things before, prove a serious disappointment. When the two big buses pulled out of the Stanford quadrangle early yesterday forenoon bound for Congress Springs there was but one injured man in the football squad. ‘‘Jack” Rice, the Varsity left tackle, was rapidly recovering from a bruised left knee with water on the joint. In addition to the whole second eleven, from which perhaps four or more substi- tutes will be selected, the Varsity was sc- companied by Coach Brooke, who will be assisted during the next few days by such Stanford veterans from the alumni as “Tom:my’’ Code, Harrelsou and Downing. It is the unanimous oniniou of the coaches that the Stanford defense will be 1 right. The comparative weakness of the team lies in the want of ability among the backs to aavance the ball rapidly for long gains. To this man’s tireless care and present excellent physical Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland was secured by the Stanford management. condition. rubbing the Palo Alto players attribute their He was formerly trainer for the , and on account of his record there He is so retiring that his last pame is bardly known at Stanford, except by the football men. ford eleven will be 1920 pounds, or an | average to the man of 174 5 pounds, which is practically ten pounds less than the weight of each in normal dress or in foot- ball suit. On the other hand the Califor- nia eleven will weigh 1847 pounds, or an average of 167.8 pounds to the player. The Stanford team will have an ad- vantage of seventy-three pounds in weight. Aud sixty-five pounds of this superior avoirdupois will be massed in | bher veteran cen er trio—Carle, Burnett and ex-Ca ptain Fickert. O herwise the op- posing piayers are fairly well matched in size. California’s three center men would not necessarily be handicapped by this weight against them. But they are med.ocre play- ers of comparatively littie experience op- posed tomen of unusual ability, of long ex- perierfce and familiarity with each other’s methodsand of excellent coaching through several seasons. | From now on until the match the play- of both teams will dono hard work. | ey will devote the remaining time to | physical and mental recuperation. With the daily danger of hard knocks past ana the anxiety of not makirg the team re- | moved they can sleep better and feel bet- | ter. In the zest of the final fast but easy | practice of piays and signals and kicks | they will be able to acquire extra strength and spirit for the contest that will be a battle to the last ditch, a struggle for col- lege glory and honor worthy of the thou- sands of ‘spectators that will certainly as- semble to witness it; for about intercol: legiate football there is never the suspi- cion of a take, never a fear that the rep- resentatives of either university will shrink from duty or relax tieirefforts un- til the final whistl2 sounds and ends all chance of victory for the team at the | smaller end of the score. The conditions at Monterey, where Cali- fornia is getting its final secret practice, are peculiar. There is no unanimity of | e feeling between the playersand ihe couch. | The men are far from baving full con- fidence in their instructor, either as an ex- ponent of the game or as a co-worker for | the best interests of the team. Ithas| been openly asserted that Bender was the | choice of the whole squad for quarter-| back, but that Haskell, the retired cap- | tain, has the position solely on the prefer- | ence shown him by the coach. Thegen- | eral opinion is that Haskell is prone to | fumble; that he is a less “beady’’ player | than Bender, and that he yells bis signals in a peculiarly diciatorial way that grates upon the men's feelings. A.similar complaint is made concerning | the treatment accorded “*Jack” Craig, who | played on the Varsity last ye. and | was easily the second best end in the | Thankseiving game. Neglected from per- sonal dislike by the coach and given few dav almost a broken-heartea boy. He is suffering in a gr ater degree, perhaps, what “'Jimmy” Hopper suffered last sea- son when, preferred by almost the whole student body, he was supplanted by a | man whose selection looked much like the payment by last year's coach of a per- sonal social obligation. The presence latterly of Loren Hunt ’93, of Sherman '08, of “‘Bob” Porter and of | “‘Pete” Smith, all former Barkeley Varsity men, has done much to inspire the unen- | thusiastic players, where otherwise they wocld have had only the constant jollying of their trainer, Al Lean, to keep up their spirits on this, their first, annual absencs from the noisy and demonstrative student body for the two weeks before the big game. The great Hotel el Monte,where they are staying, is practically deserted, save for a few spoony bridal counles, and the foot- ball men when not on the nesr-by natural grass fie!d practicing forenoon and after- noon have little to engage them. For the accommodation of the twenty players, the coaches and the others, making a total of about thirty persons, it is daily costing the California football manage- ment $90 for this outing, or a total of over $1200 for the two weeks, exclusive of rail- road fares. ‘The California team will leave Monterey | as she has had Stanford has not yet such interference in many former years. For the next few days particuiar atren- tion will be devoted to blocking for end runs and to quarterback Kkicks, with which it is expected Jeffs, the end and Varsity baseball cavtain and catcher, should open runs down the field. Probably, though, no play will be more regulariy relied on than the bucking of center, which proved such a sure means of gain- ing ground last Thanksgiving. Captan Cotton of the Stanford team has not all this season approached near to his form of last Thanksgiving, but may be relying on his ability to respond when the supreme moment arrives. Daly, the left hall, who plays right on the defensive, is not good at interference, is poor on the defense, but runs well under interierence and always dives forward near the ground, thus assuring some gain on every attempt. Fisher, the other balf, is brii- liant on the defense, serving, as *‘Jack” Rice does, both sides of tue line. Burnett, the Stanford center, will prob- ably prove a surprise. He gets down the field on 2 kick as rapidly asthe ends. | Fickert also gets through his opponent, and 18 usually close up with the first men to meet the runner. A great fault of the Stanford ends is poorly judged speed on the final ten vards. Under kicks they go down so rapidly on their man that they usually speed past | him or cannot turn quickly enough to pre- vent his evading them by a sudden timely dodge. The Stanford team is by no means per- fect yet in the execution of what shoula be reasonably reliable pla; The men by a mistaken policy until they are all in position, and this sys- tem alone unless changed will prevent big scoring where aimost the same team scored heavily last vear against a Califor- nia eleven that has lost such men as Ran- some, Sherman and Kennedy from behind a line that individually was provably | stronger than the lighter forward of this year. On Thanksgiving forencon the Stanford team will come to this city from Congress £prings and will go about noontime to apartments at the Hotel Pleasanton.

LOCAL MEN MAY RACE THERE. League of American Wheel- men’s Suspensions Count for Nothing, CANIDA 1S ALSO IV LIE President Orr's Report Recommend- ing Recognition of the Independ- ents Is Adopted. The recognition of the California Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs by the leading cy- cling body of Australia, the League of New South Wales Wheelmen, as told ex- clusively in THE CALL yesterday, is the most gratifying news the local officials have yet received relating to their atlilia- tion with foreign racing associations, and following as it did directly after the con- firmation of last Sunday’s telegraphic aa- vices that the Canadian Wheelmen’s As. sociation would aiso recognize the Cali- fornians, has filled their cup of happiness o overflowing. The news from Australia came by the steamer Mariposa in the shape of a letter to Chairman Welch of the racing board, and is as follows: LEAGUE OF NEW SoUTIF WALES WIHEELMEN, ) SYDNEY, Oct. 19, 1897. '§ R. M. Welch Esq.. San Francisco, SIR: I have to acknowledge t communication dated September 15, referring to the probuble visit of members of your as- socistion to Australinand asking what treat- ment would be accorded them on account of their disqualification by the League of Ameri- can Wheeimeu for racing on the Sabbath. The letter came before our executive com- mittee and was referred by them to the racing board which deals with sucb matters. 1 nave very much pleasure in informing you taat they passed a resolution ugreeing 1o accept entries from any of your riders who bring cer- tificates of gooa sianding as mentioned in your letter. Although we have no Sunday racing tn Aus- tralia, being fortunate enough to have the eight-hour movement and Saturday half holi- day generaily recognized, we can understund that in your part of the world, where I am in- ‘al—DEAR bt of your formed on good authority you haveno half | holiday and long work days, a different ob- servance of Sunday might be right.

The same course will most likely be adopted by the other colonies, as we are all fed:rated und accept each other’s disqualifications, etc. We have had a promineut American, W, Martin, in Austraiia for some time.

Wishing your association prosperity and assuring a hearty welcome 10 any of your riders who desire to visit us. Yours faith- fully, FRED HAWLEY, General Secretary. At the time Mr. Welch wrote to Mr. Hawley he expected Ziegler would soon 50 to Australia and wrote to pave the way for him. Tue San Jase boy cannot go now, as he is suspended by the C. A, C.

Enarick, jones and Whitman, however, who eore at present in Honolulu, may make the trip, and Mr. Welch will hasten toadvise them that being C. A. C. they will be welcomed in the Antipodes. There has been so much discussion as to how President Orr of the Canadian Wheelmen’s Association, who was here a moath ago, had reported back to his executive committee that the following copy of his officiul report will be of interest and set at rest all doubts asto whether he | favored recognizing the C.

It was made' for the purpose of | finding out exnctly to what extent the C. A. C. C. had influence and 8s to whether it would benefit our cosst division to recognize them. I had iuterviews ar different piaces with officers of the L.A.W.and C. A.C.C., and Iniso interviewed many riders concern- ing the mitter. Iwish to state that, while I have been creditgd with making Speeches and signing newspaper interviews, I did not make & speech nor write a line 10 the press from the timg® I left until now. I endeavored to impress all the 1uterviewers from the news- papers that [ was in the country in the in- terests of tiie C. W. A.and to sec for myself the position of affairs. 1 have been credited with speaking inteiligently of the affairs of the L A. W. and I. C. A., sbeut which I know so little, aud it has been aunoring to me to | see so many diversified newspaper reports of the very little I did sav. I found that San Francisco was the head- quarters of the C. A. C. C., and also found the officers to be really clever and capable young men, who had every confidence in the success and permenency of their organization. Inasmuch as the L. A. W. has blacklisted nearly every track in Northern California, and in other poriions of the coast, they have in & manner crippled themselves for ho'diug race meets. In that portion of tiie coast I find that the C. A. C. C. 18 tne only power con- trolling bicycle-racing. 1find that they have the almost” entire sympatny and support ot the newspapers. The L. A. W. has steadily beeu losing members, and does not appear to Lave worsied itself about the racing game at a1l nor has any endeavor been made to re- vive it. Even in their other matters they nre al&very low ebb, and tneir divisional elec- tions were not held this yesr on account of N0 quorum being raised. 1 found the league officers very kind and courteous, and am in- debled 1o MT. Siroug, the chief eonsul, for his trouble ana sttention; also to Messrs. Swain, Adams and Wclen for attention and informa- tion regarding the C. A. C. C. In Oregon and Washington I found the C. A. C. C. ha~aiso a strong foothoid, but not such 21 entire control as in Calilornia. The news- Papers in these Siates appear to be evenly di- vided on the question, and among the riders themselves there 1s some apprehension as to Which association will come out on top. In fact many riders who are members o the league and one or two officials of the league expressed the hope that some srrangement would be made whereby the L. A. W. would come 10 terms with the coast association or allow them to take charge of all the racing. I would sum the whole matter up bricfly as follows: Ii the L.

A. C. C. I think it would be distinctly to the benefit of cur association to do so, for the reason that the whole coast—the United States and Can- ada—is so far removed from the East and its bicycle-racing circuits that it would give our const division an opportunity of bringing in their neighbors ana swelling their gats re- ceipts. Afli inted us we are with the L C. A., an orzauization composed of associations some of whom allow Sunday racicg, I can see no reason why the C. A. C.

W. would not raise a point with us on that ground, as we will most certainly not permit Sunday racing in Can- ada, nor 1s it wanted or asked for on the const. After Mr. Orr’s report had been read and considered by the executive commit- | tee the following resolution regarding it was unanimously adopted : That the report of President Orr upon the state of affairs in British Columbia be re- :ived, and that his recommendations as to the raising of the suspension imposed upou : Victoria (B.

THEYLL BOOM THE JUBILEE Centennial Celebration | Under Way. The Mechanics’ Pavilion Has| Been Secured for a Big Exposition. 1 An agreement was entered into last night between the Directors of the Ma- chanies’ Institute and the Golden Jubilee Committee, which makes the projected fair next February a certainty. The Directors held a meeting in the afternoon, at which the matier was thoroughly discussed, and it was finally decded to give the commiitee the use of the Pavilion for a reasonable length of time, but that while the Mechanics’ In- stitute would have nothing whatever to do witn the running of the exposition, their power to make the exposition a suc- cess. The decision of the directors was then made at a general meeting, at which E. A. Denicke, Oscar Lewis, John W. McLaren, R. W. Neal, Horace Wiison, F. Fohrmals, . H. Wallace and C. M.

Fischer of the State Board of Trade, A. Spbarboro and §. Mec- Kes of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, J. Sonntag of the California Miners’ Association and T. J. Parsons of the San Francisco Miners' Association were present. The meeting was presided over by Mayor Phelan. Mr. Denicke expressed the position of ihe directors of the Mechanics' Institute as follows: “While we are in hearty sympathy with the moyement and willing to do ail in our power to assist ii we are at present burdened with a heavy ¢ebt and can run no heavy risks. We will, however, put whatever idle propverty we have at your disposal, and will assist by every means in our power, provided the instituie is pro- | tected from finaccial loss, and if there be | a surplus the institute will be allowed 2 | Jubilee Fair, California Miners' | hardly be on my | vilion.” This proposition was then taken up and | | fully discussed, and it was decided to hold | n éxposition, to Le known as the Golden under the auspices of the Association, at which vractical demonstrations of the various methods of mining will be given for the Lenefit oi those who intend going A'aska in the spring. The merchants of the city will also be given an epportunity | 10 exhibit iheir mining supplies and ap- paratus. It is intended to advertise the fair widely throughout the country, and it is | expected that many miners on their way to the Alaskan goldfields will switch off to this city to visit the exposition and in- cidentally get a little knowledge of prac- tical mining and purchase supplies,waicu otberwise might be bought elsewhere. The fair will be directly managed by a committee of eieven, to be appointed by the State Miners’ Associztion. of which | Governor Budd and Mayor Pnelan will be ex-officio members. THE OITY HALL PARK. Supervisors Aro Divided on the Ques- tion of a Bond Issue. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors held an informal discussion of the City Hall Park project yesterday, the matter under consideration being a resolution to enlarga the powers of the City Hall Park Association. The association wants power to figure on new sewers, stieet improvements and other matters, with the idea of formu- lating a plan for a bond issue o cover ail of the items. Supervisor Devany opposed the idea of a bond issue. He was of the impression that as the association had been appointed for the purpose of working for a City Hall Park, it should stick to thar. Supervisor Rivers thought that the board should authorize.a bond issue if the people wantel :t, but would not express a decided opinion as to its desirability. On motion of Suvervisor Haskins, the matter went over for one wee e i Judgment Against Sutro. Judgment was rendered vesterday by Justice | Kerrigan against ex-Mayor Sutro for $194 50, inasuit of Robert Munch.
