S the opening of the college year draws near speculation concerning the relative strength of the two rival varsity football teams in- creases. From the rumors of the coming of new material to both colleges it looks as if the two in- stitutions will draw about equally from the Eastern talent. California claims that three Eastern men with well-earned rep- utations will be seen with the blue and gold aggregation this fall. Horan, a bix guard from Lafayette College, is.alread on the Berkeley campus, while tworothers are expected from Denver. One of the Coloradans is a quarterback of ability | and will be an invaluable addition to Coach Simpson’s men. Of last year’s team those expected to return are Womble, Hudson and Masters, end Overall, guard: Albertson, tackle; More and prob- ably Gommon, bac While the wearers of the blue and gold have not yet given up all hope of the r instatement of Captain “Locomotive Smith, it is hardly likely that he would be allowed to don football armor, even though he should succeed in registering @g a student in the Affiliated Colleges of Dentistry. The loss of o valuable a line plunger will serfously weaken Berkeley's back field, just where she would have been strongest this season. The two tackle places and center will worry the coaches, as Cornish and Pringle are men that n't be replaced in a year. However, California has a long list of available ma. terial to pick from and with such old vet- erans as Frank Simpson. “Jimmie’ per Hall end Pets Kaarsberg as coaches should turn out a more effective team than last year's. Down at Palo Alto things never looked brighter for a winning team. In the first place Charlie Fickert, Stanford's pepular “old guard.” has been made head coach S0 everybody is satisfied. “Billy’” Trae- ger. who won last year's game by his well executed place kick, undoubtedly the best tackle on the Western gridiron to-day and who scheduled to play with Harvard this fall, will again wear his cardinal jer- sey. Moreover, for every position made vacant by a year’s losses, there is an ex. perienced substitute, for Coach Yost" second team was almost as good as his first. _Stanford’s coaching crew will consist of :[-h kert, Spaulding 9% and MeMillan, ex- one time a guard. Of these two men Spaulding has seen the game as plaved in the East while a student at Columbia Medical School. McMillan, has been playing football in the Northwest ever since leaving the local gridiron, first as cap : n of the celebrated Butte eleven, then with the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland. Both men have followed the game clc sely since leaving Stanford. Barnhisel and Thompson will undoubt- edly fill the places left vacant by Seeley and De Forest, and Hamilton of last year's Reliance team should take Bur- nett’s position at right tackle, Lee and McFadden, both of whom had experience last Thanksgiving, will be back trying for the #nap back’s honor: For the back field there will be a dozen likely candidates, among whom are Fish- er, Hill, Smith, Keddie, Narramore, the ‘Varpey brothers, Parker, Raitt and Bansbach and probably Slake last vear's fullback, who may return. The weakest place on the cardinal team will be the end places, the only experienced player who will return being Cooper of last vear's eleven. Naturally the personnel of the two baby teams is impossible to forecast. California will undoubtedly get her shars of the “infants” who made up the crack academic teams. Boone’s Academy, Per- alta Hall, Mount Tamalpais, Belmont and St. Matthew’s all make their contribu- tions. Of those who will enter Stanford quite a little is known. First there are the Tarpeys from the Palo Alto High Schopl. two of the sturdiest players in the league last year. Voltz, the bucking fullback from the Berkeley High School, will also be seen behind the cardinal line of jerseys. Among the linemen will be Sefton from Belmont and Hamilton from Tick at tackles. It is also rumored that the Lyceum will send down a 20-pound candidate for center rush honors. But there are always plenty of good men who enter with records to make, =0 there is no doubt that there will be plenty of material to fill the other places. el e The cyanide process, briefly, is the dis- golying of fine gold in the crushed ore by & dilute solution of cyanide of potassium and the subsequent precipitation of gold from the solution of cyanide with fine zinc shavings.

The Pacific team is made up from the following: H. C. Casidy, John Myers, C. P. Coles, A. W. Wilding, F. Bennion, E. T. Langdale, Harold B. Richardson, ‘W. Petherick, D. Jamleson, V. P. Sollom, George Theobald and J. J. Theobald. The Santa Cruz Country Club has the following list of players from which to select its team: H. F. Anderson, D. B. Bowley, G. P. Butler, C. Banner, J. F. D. Dick- P. D. Gellatly, E. Coope (captain), E. H. Day, son, W. A. Fortescu F. Hilton, A. Jenkins, J. E. Jackson, W. M. Johnstone, A. D. Reynolds, F, V Stansfeld, H. Thomas and W. Leet. addition to the above H. H. Cookson, A, G. Sheath and E. G. Sloman of San Fran. cisco and W. H. Howard of San Jose are members of the Santa Cruz club, and are likely to be included i its team. The team from the city clubs which will visit Lake County during ¢he Admission day holidays will probably arrange mat- ters so as to play a two days’ match against the Burns Valley cricket club on the ground at Lower Lake, and a one day’s game agalnst the Lakeport club at Lakeport. The cricketers will return to this city on Tuesday, September 10, and get back to their offices on the morning following. R. B. ‘Hogue, second vice president of the California Cricket Association, and captain of the Alameda Cricket Club, who has for several years past been one of the chief supporters of local cricket has re- tired from the fleld for the rest of the season. Next Sunday the Sacramento team will come down from the capital city to play againet the Pacific Club on the Alameda ground. During September there will be little cricket on the local ground, as the match set for September 1 will be played to-day, while the match between the Sac ramento and Santa Cruz clubs set for September 15 has already been played, and September 22'is an open day. Possibly, however, a match or two between Banks and Insurance versus All Comers may be arranged, or a declding match between Old England and Young America may be played. —_— e According to Arnold White, an English critic, the inhabitants of the Britisn, Isles are degenerating physically.

ANNUAL RAGE OF YAGHTS GF THE SAUSALITO GLUB San Franciscans Will Many Scullers and Men Spread Sail Over New ‘Gourse. HE annual regatta of the San Fran- clsco Yacht Club will take place to-day over the new club course, which §s the same as that of the Corinthian Yacht Club, except that after crossing the starting line the boats reach for the leeward mark €ad of beating out to windward. A cakebeat will be anchored about 400 yards to the northwest off the end of Meigds wharf, and the vachts will cross the imaginary line between this boat and the head of the wharf. thence to and round a leeward stakeboat off Angel Island, leaving it on the port hand: thence to and around Presidio shoal buoy, leaving it on the port hand; thence to the starting line off Meiggs wharf, round the stakeboat, leaving it on the starboard hand; thence to and round Presidio shoal buoy, leaving it on the port hand; thence to the finishing line bétween Melggs wharf and the stake- boat. A preparatory gun will be fired at 10. a. m., and the starting gun at 11 a. m. vachts having two minutes within which to cross the line. All the classes will probably be started at the same time. The yachts will be divided into three classes, class 1 comprising the schooners Lurline, Aggie, Chispa, the yawl Tramon- tana and the sloops Nixie and Mischief. Class 2 includes the slovps Cygnus, Siren, Thetis and Surprise and the yawls Royal and Phyllls. TIn class 3 are the sloons Anita and Dewey. The schooner Luriine is the standard boat in class 1. the others receiving time allowances as follows: Aggie, 1 minute, 45 seconds; Chispa, 18 minutes 8§ seconds; Tramontana, 18 min- utes 34 seconds; Nixie, 20 minutes 58 sec- onds; Mischief, 30 minutes 32 seconds. The flagship Ramona falls in this class, but she left the bay on Wednesday for a trip to the Santa Barbara Channel, hiv- ing on board Fred McWilllams, R. H. Morrow, Rudolph Herold. Carl Wester- feld and Werner Stauf. In class 2 the sloop Thetls is the standard boat, the others receiving time allowances as fol- lows: Phyllis, » minutes 56 seconds; Cyg- nus, 12 minutes 13 seconds; Siren, 14 min- utes 41 seconds; yawl Naiad, 15 minutes sloop Surprise and yawl Spray, 15 min- utes 19 seconds; yawl Royal. 16 minutes 16 seconds. As it will be high water at 2:27 p. m. to-day the race will be on a flood tide throughout. The event is In charge of the regatta committee, which consists of Dr. T. L. Hill, W. G. Morrow and J. R. Savory. The last named will be charged with the dutyil setting out the leeward stakeboat and & launch may con- vey the members of the committee round the course. The Corinthians started yesterday on their annual cruise up the Sacramento River, the fleet being made up of the sloops Amigo, Speedwell, Edna, Emma, Freda and Mignon, the yawl Arcturus and one or two others. - ‘The annual up-river cruise of the San Fraucisco Yacht Club was very success- ful, the sloops Mischief, Thetls, Cygnus and the yawls Royal and Phyllis attend- ing it. ‘the day of the Challenge cup race was productive of disaster, The sloop Emma was run down by the tug Sea Queen. and PLENTY OF LIFE AMONG OARSMEN GF BAV GLUBS Grews Are Out for Daily Practice. ARELY has there been more activ- ity among the oarsmen of Oak- land Creek than at present. The University of California crev is practicing daily in its new four- oared shell, and the Alameda Boat Club’s barge crew and single scullers are going out nearly every ev ing. The shell crew of the University of Cali- fornia consists of .. M. Turner. bow: H. Muller, No. 2; Wrark V. Kington. No. 3 and E. B. Harley, stroke.

All the Alameda roen will pull in single races and pleasure hoats as well as in the barge, and most of the members of the other crews will row in the kiff races or take part in the swimming events. @ il © after the race the sioop Ariel. awned by Boyle and Bulger. while cruising round, ran up too near to the wharf to come about, crashed Into it and snapped her bowsprit.
