Coms | STANFORD MEN GROW JUBILANT: BERKELEY ADMIRERS ARE GLUM Cardinal Team Gains in Speed and Offensive Work, While Blue and Gold Eleven Is Reported in an Unsatisfactory Condition From Various Causes ERKELEY, Nov. 1.—With but a| week's time before the intercoi- legiate game California’s eleven is still in an unsatisfactory con- | dition: The work of the team as a whole has not come up to the expecta- TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 1—That the cardinal eleven IS gaining the much desired speed was cvidenced by their work against Reliance last Saturday. | In practice during the week the big team S i T T i £ j a(' = | Y 3 »‘:5 L i !W‘ L il I A { ’1 l has made a better showing than at any time this season. Their offense is faster and the defensive work is fair, although there is still considerable room for im- provement. Coach Fickert expresses him- self as well satisfied with the play of | the big eleven, but complains of ‘the lack of second eleven material which is so necessary in order to develop the varsity, especially In their defense. However, the second eleven, although there are not many players from which toghoose it, Is a strong aggregation and has shown well in the practice this week, even holding the varsity on downs on several occasions. Butterfleld, who has been playing half and end on the second eleven, has shown a remarkable knack in breaking thsough the varsity and tackling benind the line. If he can keep up the improvement in his game he wi'l give somebody a hard fight for the va- cancy at right end. Several of the fresh- men have come out on the fleld and have been lining up on the second, notabiy Sefton, Paul Tarpey, Bartell, Monzingo and Van Sickle. Either Parker or Ken- nedy, who have been alternating at full- back’s pesition on the second eleven, will make a good substitute full should Slakes not last through the big game. & The greatesi grawback in the cardinal line-up at present is the lack of good men at the ends’ positions. The loss of Boren, who was looked upon as a fixture at left end, has materfally weakened the team and Stanford’s chances on November 9, as California’s specialty appears to be end running. Cooper has returned to the “grid” and is lining up regularly at right end, but the condition of his spranied ankle will not allow nim to play his usual fasc Clark, Kuhn and Freshman Tar- pey seem to be in the lead for,the pos. tion at the opposite end of the lfne. Lu Sefton, Preston, W. Dole and Wilbur are also fighting hard for the pesition. In Traeger and McFadden the cardinal has two tackles that would be hard to im- prove on. McFadden advances the ba: as well as Traeger, aithough this is h first year at tackle’s position. “Bill's place kicking, nowever, makes him th most valuable man on the eleven, w the possible exception of Raitt. Hauver- man at center is aggressive and has | little the better of the fight, but Lee i | & close second. At guard Barnhisel ani Thompson seem slated for the intercolle- giate game. Roosevelt of Lake Forest is playing a hard game at guard, sand will undoubtedly be substitute guasrd if he does not succeed in beating one of the other men out for the position on the var- sity.

In turf quarters last night_the following firms were mentioned as almost sure to cut in: Caesar Young, Jim Davis, Willle Sink, E. T. Martin, Barnett & Co., D, Mitchell, Jack Atkin, Joe Rose, Johnny Coleman and Hughey Jones. Jack Newman, the well-known St Louis plunger and owner, got off the overland at Oakland mole.

Crowninshield Boat of the Independence Type Is to Try for Challenge Cup Despite the heavy Tain which fell last Saturday night the dance of the San Francisco Yaeht Club at Sausalito was 4 quite successful and well attended. It was | the last social event of the yachting sea- son. The fleet of the San Francisco Yacht Club is now scattered in varfous places in winter quarters, Commodore W. N. Mc- Carthy’s schooner Ramona being almost the only boat now at anchor off the club- ouse. The Crowninshield-designed yacht which is being built for the San Francisco Yacht Club was to have been completed on Octo- ber 26, but the builders asked for twenty more days, in which time it is expected that she will be launched. Her sails have been in this city for some weeks and wiil be bent as soon as the boat is ready. A crew of members of the San Francisco Yacht Club will then be made ug to try the sailing qualities of the boat. She is of a type almost new to this bay, the sloops ris II and Discovery being the only finkeel craft here. She is of the same general type as Crowninshield’s Independ- ence and is expected to win the Perpetual Challence c%p. now held by the Corir- thian sloop Presto, next year. After she has been tried she will be laid up for the winter, either to the north of the ferry- slip, on the ways at Benicla or on the beach at Old Sausalito. FAST GREYHOUNDS MAY BE MATCHED —_— D.-J. Healey Endeavoring to| Bring Sisquoc and Beacon ! Together at Union Park D. J. Healey, the Petaluma coursing man, thinks he has in Sisquoc the fastest greyhound in America. He makes this declaiation, having in mind the defeat of the crack from his kennel by A. R. Cur- tis’ great blue dog Beacon in the John Grace cup stakes. He offers to place $100 in a sweepstakes, the owner of Beacon Lo put up a like amount. The management of Union Crursing Park has offered to add $50. it only remains for Mr. Curtis to de- clare himself in and the match will be complete, In the John Grace cup, which Beacon won, Sisquoc ran like a champion until just before the semi-finals. In this he and Charta re slipped to a hare which ran them ffi ver three minutes. Sisquoc won by a score of 28 to 12. In the next round he met Beacon and suffered defeat. It is to wipe out this, if possible, that his owner seeks the proposed match. If ar- ranged it will be best two out of three courses. James Sweeney has returned with the Pasha Kennel dogs from the meetings at Madison, 8. D., . Louis, Mo., and Friend, Nebr. Rural Artist and Rocker are in good shape and will start this week. The open stake will be run down once to-day at Union Park, leaving the re- maining rounds and all the special stake for to-morrow’s card. OLYMPIC TO MEET RELIANCE ELEVEN Athletic Club Teams Will Play Thanksgiving Day on Sixteenth-Street Grounds The Thanksgiving day football game this year will be between the teams rep- resenting Olympic and Reliance Athletic clubs. For a time it seemed there would be no game on the day which for many years Jpast has been marked by the annual meet- ing of the rival coliege teams in this city. The Olympic Club airectors ciinched the matter 1ast night and tne men will resume practice at once. The choice of the Olym- pians lay between the Oregon Indians and Reliance. They wisely cnose the latter and more formidable team. It Is expected each. team will be strengthened by the addition of some of the men who will represent Berkeley and Stanford one week from to-day in the in- tercollegiate game. For the first time since 189 the Olympic Club assumes the expenses of the team flyinf the winged *“O.” The colleges, find- ing it necessary to have outside teams which will afford their men practice be- fore the biz game, have guaranteed the expenses each year of two teams. The necessary practice having been obtained, the guarantee lapses. The Olympic direc- tors at their meeting last night assumed these obligations when the collegians abandoned them. Both teams have played some good games this year and much interest cen- ters around thelr meeting. i gard to the outcome of the big game on November 9 that there was earlier in the season. The line-up to-morrow will be practically the same as it was in the game with Rellance—center, Hauverman, guards, Barnhisel and Thompson; tackles, Traeger and McFadden:; quarterback. Raftt; halves, Fisher and Hill; fullback. Slaker, and at ends several men will g> in at different intervals, Cooper and Clark probably at the beginning. It 1s not expected that the varsity will be able to run up a larger score against the sage- brush eleven than did California, judginz from the victory of the Nevadans over Rellance and the showing the clubmen have made against the cardinal eleven. @ ieieieiniieieieieie il @ from getting stale at end and the other to scare Whipple into working hard for half. Womble's play improved after the change, although old-timers who have watched his work since he made the var- —_— tions of its supporters, nor has the eleven reached the degree of proficlency its Coaching would seem to warrant. Condi- ilons have been against California. From the start there nas been a lack of mate- rial, and this reity of players has been augmented by a series nf unfortunate ac- cidents and deiiberate desertions from the ranks. At present the squad is made up of but thirty men, and on occasions it has been reduced by temporary accidents to barely two elevens. Such citcum- stances are discouraging alike to players and coaches. California’s cleven weighs under the average. It will not reach Stanford's ht by nearly ten pounds to the man. is a condition that cannot be helped, but the team’s lack of aggressiveness as a unit is something which will tend tc- ward defeat unless overcome. Not that aggressiveness is an unknown quantity to the team, for the men have shown in | sity in his freshman vear declare that he Jast gam t they can be aggressivs | is not up to the form he displayed during it they will. There are individua! men | his second season for California. His Wwho crash into opposing lines with all the | work, although high in standard, lacks spirit and determinaticn that any man could have. Several men have already secured their positions beyond a doubt, but other places are being contested for in a manner which will puzzle the coaches to pick the suc- cessful candidate. Particularly is this true at quarterback, where two men of practically equal but different kinds of abllity are oppesed to each other. Barring _accidents Gendotti will play cénter. Early in the season he had More. as an opponent of dislocated shoulder put head, the freshman, ability, but a Morehead out, leaving the present center the only available candidate. Gendottl light for the position, weighing only 165 pounds. He is a good player ior his weight and is given credit for trying Gard. Overall at right guard is big and strong and has all the physical requisites, His steady ani reliable playing could be improved by more aggressiveness. His punting has oveen good, and during the past few games he has averaged forty yards. In spite of much practice his place kicking has not improved like his punting nor as it should. His position on the team is assured. Stow at left guard has been handicapred by a bad shoulder. His playing, however, has heen a, disappoint- t in ull games which have been held this year. FHis strength and experlence would seem ts warrant better support than he has given the team. Larry O'Toole had a splendid chance make left guard, but recently he macc] in his sult ‘and ieft the field. Hendricks is a steady sub-guard. Lack of welght and stgength are against him. Stroud is a heavy freshman who is coming to the front for guard. He played center on his team this vear. and was being tried out for that position on the varsity when the coaches shifted him to sub-guard owin to the scarcity of material there. Strond stands a chance of beating Si e & Stow out for Albertsen has his the grit of Womble of old. There comes a story from Stanford that Womble is a marked man. For real or fancled wrongs which Womble has done Stanford men in past games the present team, so the story goes, is determined not to let him play out the first half. tan- ford has always held a grudge against ‘Womble since Murphy, the Palo Alto idol, played with a broken rib, for the cardinal men have claimed that Womble pla: bad ball against Murphy. Berkeleyans have always denied the charge, but the prejudice against Womble was never ef- faced. Hudson has been playing at both left end and quarter and may play either in the big game, although the latter positi will more likely fall to him. Starr a Dibblee put up practically equal ball at end. Both are light. Dibblee plays hard, but a wrenched knee has put him from the fleld and ‘is likely to keep him out of the game. Starr’'s sin is loafing. _His play is flerce when he gets at it. Buchanan was a promising end candidate when ill- ness, caused by an injury, took him from the gridiron. Willlams, on the second eleven, is a good end man, considering his light weight. Who wjll play quarter is a puzzling question. More and Hudson are the rival candidates. More played last year at Quarter and Hudson at end. Hudson is the stronger man of the two and More passes the ball better. Hudson's forte 's backing up the line, while More's strong point is playing in the back fleld and in running in punts. The question to a cer tain extent resolves itself into -whether the team needs a good man in the back fleld or a strong man to brace up the line in defensive work. Should Hudson play Mini will go to the back fleld. Minj is sta tloned at left half and is likely to remain He starts fast, bucks low and is quick to take an opening. His light weight is against him. Duden will play fullback if mishaps do not keep him off the grid- iron. arly in the season he was out three weeks with a sprained ankle and one week with bleod-poisoning in the for The last two weeks he has been handi- capped with a muscle bruise on the thigh. and on Tuesday he twisted his neck to such an extent that he had to leave the If he is not able to work up in time More. the candidate for quarter, will place at left safe. He is not a brilliant player, gftk{; . steady and uses his brain to good ad. vantage. He i~ particularly useful when it comes to interfering for Mini in the lat. ter's runs.

The former is the heavier man, and when he makes up his mind he bucks hard. He is apt to shy and does not handle punts any too well. Sherman runs in punts well, and his running substitute.
