COLLEGE COACHES ARE JEALOUSLY WATCHING ERKELEY, Oct. 25.—All work on the University of California gridiron centers around the training of the big eleven, now that the freshman game is over and the majority of the squad dismissed from practice. As the result of last week’s bl | Test while the coaches were giving the freshmen their final instructions, the var- sity men have played faster ball than ever before. There has been a snap to th of hot weather. This has been most encouraging to both coaches and men. The number of men on the squad has been decreased considerably, both {ro}'n the freshman and upper class lists. Only those who are promising candidates for the first eleven or are first-cla r eleven players are kept on the feld. The Strength of the second team has been ided to materially by placing several freshmen in its line-up, and from these ress is a very “clas fellow | eeRne carsity possibilities. : quisition: 3 e e ehant he ey | ; Mucks praciice 1aihy < ‘dugeq‘r:o‘nhge two PREEEr OV throughout _the season. | yyre ‘of individual work and among tw> hen there are ¥a & "‘“"‘-. h"“'s.‘; or more men where exact umsiup o Ano_fl« La Goleta, Articulate, Autolight, Sic | Jint |z mecessary for effective playing.

Gendott at center has passed to More, who places tke GREYHOUNDS STATIINA TO BE TESTED Heat Coursing the New Propcsition for Occasional Stakes. NSIDERABLE discussion is go- ?ng on just now among the local in hmen regarding an idea e although mot entirely the more recent C coursing, which, new, will be a novelty to followers of the sport. The plan is to run as an annual, semi- annual or monthly event a stake of twen- ty-four or forty-eight entries in heat {hat is, instead of a winner being declared at the end of a course it will be necessary for the hound to have to its credit the best two in three or three.in five before retiring its opponent. The idea of such a meeting originated with Judge John Grace and was success- fully tried at Ingleside Coursing Park in 1598, In that trial Koolawn was the win- ner and Connell Bros.’” Log Boy the run- ner up. The affair created favorable com- | ment at the time and would have become a fixed event in coursing but for the fact that dissension developed in the ranks of the leashmen. This resuited in the open- ing of Union Park. More pressing matters occupied the promoters of the’ sport and crowded the idea of the new stake from their minds. With the plains meeting but a few weeksoff the novel idea will be hailed witn delight by the owners of “long-distance” coursers. 1f the stake is run before the country trip it will put the dogs in trim for the fields and if decided after the open meeting the entries that have had experi- ence on the plains will be likely candi- dates for honors in such a hard stake. There has always been a difference of opinion among leashmen as to which is the better attribute in the make-up of a greyhound, speed or stamina. To the trainer who follows the set idea of P, J. Rellly in fitting a dog for a stake, that is, the feeding of strong food to the courser that he may be able to go the long, hard route, this stake will appeal as the proper one to test the true merits of a greyhound.

This makes More reacn for the ball and delays his placing so long that a block result: More is playing in reliable fashion at quarter. Hudson has played at left end, his position on last year's varsity eleven, during recent practice, changing from quarter, his original place this seasor. He may go oack and oppose More for varsity hono: Captain Womble has hifted from right half back to his old tion at right end. How long he may stay is a question, as Womble back of the line, like Womble on the line, is hard to pigskin for Overall. been general Gendotti has a f; beat. Mini and Whipple are playing halves for the most part, and Duden ful'. This week's practice has shown up th= men favorably. Albertson is _playing strong at tackle, and Stowe and Braly, at guard and tackle, respectively, play steady games. Coaches Simpson and Hopper are devot- ing a great deal of their time in working up interference among the players. They are getting them to run well together and are thus increasing the offensive power of the team. The defensive work con- tinues stronger than the offensive. The following freshmen are continuing practice on the squad: Stroud, Heitmul- ler, Howard Wilson, Gastrich, Hatch, Hagadorn, Gage, Demerrit, Edwards, Le- wett Saeltzer ~Kelsey, Bush, Risle: White, Graves, Kittrell, Metcalf, Wallop and Evans.

Out in the fog and while the anxious bet- tors were awaiting the result Sisquoc was doing his own death in pursuit of a hare that could stride a bit, too. As It was the Petaluma dog, though conditioned to the moment, was handicapped by the long work and was not able to do himself jus- tice in a trial with Beacon soon after. The course between Beacon and Rector, which will be run at Union Coursing Park to-morrow as the final of the John Grace Cup stake, will be for blood. Both dogs have been faithfully prepared for the go and a close score is looked for. Beacon will be the favorite and will probably lead his younger opponent to the hare. Rector, his backers claim, will outpoint the great blue dog in the work and take the flag. That the course will be fast and exciting no follower of the game doubts. HANDBALL EXPERT TO PERFORM HERE James F. Titzgerald, world’s champion handball player, will appear in his-first match game in this city to-morrow after- noon at Phil Ryan’s court. With the vet- eran, J. C. Nealon, as_partner, he_ will play Al Hampton and Joe Collins. Fitz- gerald says he is out of practice, but he has already shown high class form. The other games will be: P. McKinnon and M. McNeil vs. D. Rogers and G. McDonald. H. J. Rogers and P. Ryan vs. W. Fischer and G. B, Hayward, ' - 7. Foley and Joe Condon vs. W. Minehan and Pat Fole: ._Williams and M.

F. Dunn, champion in the tournament last year, being chairman. Up to the present time thirty-five students- have signified their intention of entering the contests. To day the first series of singles will be played on the Encinal courts. The entries are: W. E. Fritch vs. W. F. Davis, G. Cromwell vs. C, L. Harkins, F. O. Ellen- wood vs. W. A. Willlams, ‘R. R.

Bremner. 4 Chairman Dunn has received a letter from A. B. Moulder, ceaptain of the Uni- versity of California Handball Associa- tion, asking if arrangements can be made for an intercollegiate tournament. It is probable this new intercollegiate contest will be inaugurated next March. - . afternoon the varsity will meet the University of Nevada elev- en on the college grounds. The visiting team defeated Reljance a week ago Satur- day in Reno by a score of 1170 0. Accord- ing to this California will meet a team whose standard of play approaches that of its own and Stanford’s. It must be remembered, however, that Relianc® dil not send up its strong team.

[ e e e S e o YACHTSMEN \ SEEK SAFE ANCHORAGE Tiburon Drawbridge Will Be Uplifted To-Tlorrow at . Midday. %) HE yachting season of 1901 will come to an end to-morrow with | ] the raising of the bridge at Tibu- ron and the passing of the pleasure craft into the quiet waters of the lagoon. The | San Eranciscos and Corinthians took the closing joint cruise of the year last Sun- day, more than forty boats being under | way. While there was a good breeze in the channel, elsewhere the wind was light, so that Commodore H. D. Hawks, who led the fleet in his sloop May, did not go over as far as Sausalito, as had been intended, but cruised about between Belvedere Point and Lime Point. A thick fog hung over the city during the greater part of the day, so that the parade of the yachts along the San_ Francisco water front was abandoned. The fleet presented a pretty sight as it came out from Tibu- ron Cove toward Sausalito, and later when the yachts were lost to view in the fog or | came suddenly out into a bright space. On returning to their moorings many of .the yachismen stripped the sails from their boats. Other yachts will be dismantled to- day and the remainder will be made ready to-morrow morning for their entrance Into the lagoon. As it is high water at Tiburon about 11 o’clock to-morrow morn- ing, the bridge will be raised shortly after noon, as- soon as the passengers from the 11:30 boat from San Krancisco have passed over it. The tide i§ a large one, having a rise of 6 feet 3 inches, so there will be plemty of water in the la- goon for the yachts to find suitable an- | chorage. The raising of the drawbridge Will ‘be_under the ‘direction of Port Cap- tain John H. Keefe, and a large launch | has been engaged to tow the line of yachts into. the .lagoon. Several San Erancisco yachts will be towed over from. Sausalito by Port Captain James Kitter- man’s launch. ‘America, and will pass through the bridge. Among these will be Vice Commodore R. . Bridgeman'’s sloop Thetis, J. R. Savory's sloop Juanita and yawl Royal. The sloop’ Mischief, which has been chartered by some members of the San Francised Yacht Club during the season, will also be laid up in the lagoon. Dr. T, L. Hili's sloop Cygnus was taken up to Escalle last Sunday and will lie in Corte Madera Creek. -The yvawl Phyllis Wwill go up to Suisun marshes, and "the sloop Nixie will spend the winter under canvas on one of the sets of ways at Tib- uron. A. C. Lee's Surprise will be drawn up on the beach at Old> Sausalito. H. R. Stmpkins’ yawl Tramontana has already been taken to the north of the ferry slip. TLo-night there will -be a dance in the San Francisco Yacht Club house, which will formally wind up the season. The supper at the Corinthian Club hcuse ! last Saturday night was the best that hax | ever been enjoyed by the members, the fish chowder, coffee and beans being seérved up piping hot. 'Port Captain and Chief Caterer John H. Keefe has provided the ciubhouse with a large range. on which_the suppers on_jinks nights, the ! New Year's day dinner*and other feasts' will be prepared. The closing Corinthian T jinks last Saturday were highly succ: ful, coming to an end at midnight, aov TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 25.—With but two weeks inter- vening before the intercollegiate game and but eight days more of actual hard practice, exclusive of games, the Stanford football eleven is not showing the speed the men should have developed at this stage of the season. Coach Fickert is satisfied with every- thing except the speed, and the lack of that, he says, is due to the treacherous condition of the field. The ‘“grid” has been so hard and the injuries resulting from falling on it so frequent that the men are afraid to play fast ball. The ficld has not been in shape for weeks and as a result nearly every man on the team has sustained slight injurtes, for the most part sprained ankles, wrenched knees and muscle bruises. Kenneth Cooper of last Year's tcam is out of the game for the present with a badiy sprained ankle. It is hoved he will be out in canvas again soon, as he is undoubtedly the best end on the squad. Trainer Moulton remarked to-day that the physical condition of the players was as good as he could wish for, excepting the bruises incidental to falling on the clods and hard ground. The second eleven have been putting up an article of football that some members of the big -eleven would do well to imi- tate. During the practices this week the second team has been playing star ball, making the big eleven fight for every inch of ground. .

John. T. Carrier’s sloop Jessie E of the California Yacht:Club is for sale. She was designed and built by her owner and is constructed with great strength. She took second place to E. F. Sagar's Edna in the 36-foot class at the last annual regatta of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association. It is expected that F. A. Hyde, the weli& known attorney and president of the Au- tomobile Club, who is now in the Eastern States, will bring back with him plans for a new yacht, to be fitted with an auxiliary engine. She will be, bullt here and wiil be ‘enrolled in the fleet of the San Fran- cisco Yacht- Club. NG - BOXERS TRAI FOR BIG FIGHTS Jeffries.and Ruhlin are leaving nothing undone which will place them in the best of condition for their meeting at M:- chanics Pavilion on November 15. Each @ay at Harbin Springs the champion takes his turn, at boxing, bag-punching, handball, skipping tke rope, on the row- ing machine, the pulley weights, medicine ball and in road work. The nature of the country is so Irteresting he can always fall back on the latter to relieve him of the sameness of indoor exercise. Ruhlin is boxing all comers at Blank- en’s, thus getting. the advantage of their varfous styles of going. He is a hard worker and is on the go all the time. T. J. McCarey, president of the Century Athletic Club, Los Angeles, has asked to have 100 seats 1eserved for a party he is organizing. The railway officials have granted a one fcre rate, which is expected to induce a large attendance from th= south. The prices of admission fixed by the management e: Gallery, $2; reserved seats, $5, $7 50 and $10; boxes, $10, 31> and $20. The men will enter the ring at 9:30 p. m. for the championship fight. The pre- liminaries will be short, scrappy affairs between boys whd will fight from the sound of the gong. Ed Gay White, the well known turf reporter, who is hLere for the winter, was authorized by Lou Houseman of Chicago to challenge the winner of the proposed Carter-Gardner -fight in behalf of his protege, Jack Root. Next Tuesday evening Al Neill - wili meet Mike Dorovan in a twenty-rounid bout before the ‘Acme Club, Oakland. Donovan is cradited with having fought a draw with Rube Ferns_which entities him to consideration. ~Neill has. not fought here for some time and there 1s considerable curlosity as to his physical condition. A goodly attendance .is ex | pected from this side of the bay. Dole at tackle, Preston, Kuhn and Sefton at ends and Fullback Kennedy have been starring for the second. The addition of several of the freshmen players to the second squad has_strengthened it consid- erably. oung” Dole, Wilbur and Sefton of the ’05 class are in the fight for the vacancy at left end on the big eleven. Boren, fullback on the '3 team, is on the fleld again after an absence of three weeks, due to a disabled knee. He and Clark, '04, are also candidates for end po- sition and they, with the freshmen men- tioned above, are making the hardest fight on the fleld centered around the end's positions. At center Lee, former varsity center, apd Hauverman are put- ting up a pretty struggle, with little to choose between them. Back of the line things are lively. In the fight for half- back positions Hill and Fisher seem to have the lead. Hill's punting will certain- ly secure him his position. “Bill"” Traeger continues his place kickingand if the big fellow kicks as well on November § as he does in practice the cardinal rooters will have a chance to cheer “Fluffy” even more vigorously than they did last | Thanksgiving day. Raitt’s playing of the | quarter’s position cannot be improved on. His presence behind the line holds the | team together in a way that no other man | in the squad can hold it. | The Reliance Athletic Club team will | play the big eleven on the campus to- | morrow. This, date was originally sched- | uled for the game with'the University of | Oregon, but the latter declined the issue, | deciding not to send down a team. = L 2 OLYMPIANS | WANT TANK TO ROW IN | Alameda Boating Club Abandons Annual Regatta at Oakland. HE rowing season of 1901 came to an end with the ladies’ day of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club on the 13th inst. The Alameda Boat Club intended to hold its regular regatta for club championships in barge and out- rigged skiffs early in “November, but it has been found impossible to get the crews together. Some of the oarsmen are employed at night and so the crews can- not get regular practice. In December the club will give its annual variety en- tertainment in Armory Hall, Alameda. The _directors. of the Olympic Club are still - consldering the question of an ath- letic field within easy reach of the city. If the tract in East Oakland is ultimately chosen the propinquity of San Antonig estuary and the opportunity for training rowing crews will help the: cause of oars. men greatly. Though some Olympic men are In favor of retaining the Belvedere boathouse' the. facilities offered by the smooth waters of Oakland Creek cannot fail to excite enthusiasm for rowing. The Olympie Boat Club ‘proposes to hold regatta on Sunday, November 3, at which races will take place for the club cham plonships. -Aleck Pape has presenteq s pair of sculls and other prizes will ba given by the club. There will be barge and outrigged skIff races. It was at g proposed to give a ladies’ day, but that event has been postponed till next sprin, George James, captain of the Olympic Club, and S. J.

HE class singles tournament held last Sunday on the courts of the California Tennis Club was the largest that club has ever held. The en- try list, thirty-four players in all, was fully twice as large as usual and the matches were nearly all close. The one match in the championship class was disappointment, as George Whitney withdrew after the second set and the match went to his brother at set all. g * Fred Brown, the University of Califor- nia crack, who carried off first-class honors, played a steady game throughout, and his victory was a well-earned ome. Collier was a slight favorite, but Brown was a trifle too strong for him and re- tired him in the final round. As was expected Frank Stringham wert through the second class with little diffi- culty. Cornell was considered to have a even chance with him, but was _bad beaten through lack of practice. Strin ham, who formerly represented the N versity of California, has been Improving rapidly since he took yp the game and will probably be near the head of the first class in a few months. By winning the third class without les- ing a set Charles Kuehn showed he is easily the best man in that class. Kuehn did not take to the game readily at first, but of late has shown improvement. He will probably remain in the same class for the present. The fourth class, composed of the new members of the club, was won easily by G. N. Armsby. He won his matches in straight sets, none of which were deuce sets. This was Armsby's first tournament. He will hereafter play in the third class. The five class winners will play off to- morrow for first honors. The drawing and handicaps are as_follows: Brown, first class, a bye; R. -y tney, cham- pilonship class, will allow Armsby, fourth class, odds of “half forty”; Stringham, second class, will allow Kuehn, third class, odds of “fifteen.” 'he members of the tournament com- mitee are in favor of having a continuous tournament again. There have been two events of this kind in the past and while they are popular at first they are short- lived. This is not a good time of the vear for a ntinuou urnament. as there is a tournament scheduled for every other Sunda Affairs of this kind would be more successful in the summer months. There will progably be a class singles tournament on the park courts to-morrow. An event of this kind would prove inter- esting, as the players are evenly matched Routh and Dunlap, the park champions in doubles, have challenged Collier and Crowell of the California Club to a match to be played on the park courts. The park experts are anxious to have the match played to-morrow, but Collier and Crowell are not in favor of this. It will probably be played next Sunday. PLAYERS OF GOLF AGAIN IN ACTION The San Francisco Golf Club will open the winter season this afternoon at the Presidio links with a tournament over eighteen holes. The gross scores will count as thetqualifying round for the council's cup competition, the eight low- est scorers to qualify. The net scores, after the handicaps have been deducted, will count for the handicap match tourna- ment which begins to-day. After the play- ers have qualified the matches will be played off, each contestant receiving three-quarters of the number of strokes that made his handicap in the qualifying rounds; the handicap being applied at ce tain holes in accoradnce with the scheme of handicapping adopted by the tourna- ment committee. A player who receives a handicap of one stroke has an extra stroke on the ninth hol One who re- ceives two has an extra stroke omn the ninth and eighteenth holes and so on. All the local courses are in a hard con- dition and nothing can be done to im- prove them until after the first heavy rains. Though the Sausalito course was formally opened last Saturday, it is not yet in proper condition for play, the first and third holes not being in playable or- der. The new clubhouse will be a great comfort and convenlence to the golfers, who have hitherto had no shelter from the winds and storms which sometimes sweep down the canyon around which the course is laid. Miss Ruth Miller was lucky last Saturday in winning the ladies prizes for driving and putting after ty ing for the driving contest with Mrs Mason and for the putting contest with Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Mays. Her victor- {es, however, were popular. Among the visitors to the San Rafael links last Sunday was John Lawson, who played with Bell, the San Rafael professional, displaying good form. The captain’s cup of the Oakland Golf Club, which is emblematic of the medal play championship of the club, has now been won six times—twice by E. R. Fol- ger and C. P. Hubbard and once by W. P. Johnson and F. S. Stratton. W. P. John- been necessary either to live at Belvedere or to secure the privilege Q?lphln or South End Bialgzug:mlfi :g: city. son was beaten in the recent contest by only one stroke, while E. R.
