It is possible, though no means certain, that the Dolphins enter a barge crew in the Olympic t Club regatta at Belvedere. The Dolphins have decided to enlarge cir clubhouse &t the foot of Van Ness enue by extending the veranda. Ladies’ hzs been postponed until the pro- posed addition to the piazza shall have been made. The date of the barge races to be held by the Dolphin Boating Club hos not yet been set. The members have determined to adopt a club badge of a more expensive design than was at first contemplated.

The Olympic Club has two barge crews in training, a junior and an intermediate. They have been using the Triton Boating Club house for train- & purposes, and since the beginning of the week have been sleeping in the Triton guarters and going oul early every morn- ing for practice. W. B. Goodwin, whe coachcd the winning Olympic crew for the Ariel Club regatta at El Campo, is in charge of the crews, which are doing good work. The Dolphins, at the suggestion of Alex W. Pape, have formed a water polo team made up as follows: A. W. Pape, captain center; Lester Hammersmith and J. Farrell, forwards; W. Harris and T. Harris, backs; F. J. Sherry, center, and W. O.

AAUVERMAN = 4 ) — % V cENTER STUDENTS OF EACH UNIVERSITY . EXPRESS CONFIDENCE IN ELEVENS Stanford Shows Marked Improvement in Team Work, While Berkeley Adherents Point With Pride to the Great Game Last ERKELEY, Oct. 10.—That the Call- fornia varsity has fully recovered from its temporary slump was thor- oughly demonstrated in its game with Reliance last Saturday, when the clubmen went down to defeat to the score of 16 to 0. This was done, too, with a team weakened by the absence of two of its hardest playe More and Smith. Now that the Berkeley eleven has met both of the opposing teams in the field and demonstrated that there is no stop- ping of its speedy backs, while the line is stiff enough to withstand rushes of no ordinary severity, the confidence of its supporters In the college is firmly estab- lished. It is felt that at no similar time in previous seasons has the prospect for a victory over Stanford been so bright. The game with Rellance last Saturday demonstrated two things, which the pre- vious contest with the weaker alunmi eleven had left in doubt. These are that the team work, which is necessary to a well trained eleven, is being acquired rapidly, and secondly, that barring the one or two cases of accidents, the team is in almost perfect physical condition. Graves' run of twenty-two yards for a touchdown and Mini's thirty-yard dash along the side line were made possible by the excellent interference rendered by the remainder of the team. In the mass plays on the Rellance guard and tackle, the formation to protect the runner was in nearly every Instance just what it should have been. California is weaker on the defense than with the ball in her possession.. Though the line was. stiff enough to hold Reliance successfully, any team with stronger staying qualities could have found holes in it eventually. Coach Whipple has been paying esvecial attention to problems of blocking and boxing the ends, but there is still much to be learned along those lines. The ends, which, at the first part of the season were considered the weakest part of the team, have now teen developed into crackerjack form. Hudson at right and Demerritt at left are putting up strong games. Center and tackles now look like the weakest place on the team. Stroud at the center position is slow to get in the play. Howard at right tackle is new at the ‘game and Captain Albertson at left tackle is not playing up to form on ac- count of a persistent cold which is cling- ing to him. More, who received a stiff crack in the ribs, is back in the game again. During his absence Sherman, substitute for his position, demonstrated that he could amply fill it upon necessity. Graves, who has taken Smith’s place at right half during his week’'s absence, is an- other sub who can be relied upon in an emergency. 7 The Berkeley enthusiasts are looking forward with much interest to the game between the varsity and the old California alumni players on the 28th inst. Manager Decoto’ has been making successful ef- forts to round up a stiff combination of some of the old stars. At present it looks as if he would have Cornish, Athearn, Kaarsburg, Hall, Whipple, Ellis, Clay, Griesburg, Starr and Womble, with Smuth from this year's varsity to round out the eleven men. In the ranks of the freshman team things are looking brighter. The eleva- tion of Middleton to the captaincy was well deserved, as he is a phenomenally strong player and has an excellent chance for the varsity. With the game only a week off the Saturday Against Reliance TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 10.— | Another week of hard practice has | made many improvemepts in the varsity football eleven. The team work of the men, which Assistant Coach Slaker has been trying to instill, is better than it has’been at any time during the season. The interference gets together quickly and is well formed, while the ‘line is all that could be de- sired this early in the year. The cardi- nal players are learning to put up a fast game and will probably develop into the quickest team Stanford has produced for some time. The game with the alumni last Satur- day was unsatisfactory, from the critic’s point of view. The varsity so outclassed the “grads” that a correct estimate of the cardinal's ability is almost impossi- ble. As in the Reliance game the week before, the line men withstood their heavier opponents, often throwing them back for a loss. The ends, at the first of the season thought to be weak, could not be run for any gain. The work of the backs, especially that of Dole, full- back on last year's freshman team, has | been consistent with the fast work they | put up two weeks ago against Reliance. | Paul Tarpey, captain of the '05 freshman | team, who is one of the best men on the field at carrving the ball, has been | shifted from half and tried at left tackle. | He should make good at this position. | He has the weight and the head, is fast, |and as soon as he learns the pesition | should prove a find. Freshman Magee | was tried at varsity half in the game | with the Alumni, and will make a good | run for the position. His ability les in | his wonderful knack of keeping his feet | when carrying the ball. He can outpunt any one on the fleld. McGilvray, at full, continues to buck the line with his old terrific force. On the whole, the work of the varsity has been all that the bleach- ers could hope for. If the present form is maintained the men will give Califor- nia a hard fight. The squad of coaches has been in- creased. Head Coach Clemens arrived on | the grounds the first of the week and s been hard at work with the line. Met” Murphy and Slaker, with Cohn and Whitehouse, are assisting Clemens. With the intercollegiate freshman game only a week off, the '06§ men will have to accomplish much before they play as well as the freshman team of last year. The game with Santa Clara on Thursday was a poor exhibition of football on the part of the babes. Santa Clara forced the line and ran the ends for constant gains. The freshmen seem to lack the abllity to play together. They will have only one more game, that with Hoitts, before the final contest with California. © it O team is not yet definitely picked. Two teams are played in almost every game and it is felt that this is a mistake at a time so near the contest with Stanford on the 18th. Speaking of the general situation in both teams head coach Whipple sald to- day: *“I am satisfled with the progress which the men have made. Both elevens are in good condition and play hard ball. In the varsity the center and tackles are the weakest places. The freshman eleven is not as coherent as I would like to ses it, but has some excellent players in ir.” A L Syndicate of Oakland, which is bullding a long wharf toward the broad gauge mole.
