Coaches Whipple and Hall | have decided to send the following team upon the field: Kern, right halfback; Tweedy, left half- ack; Gabriel, fullback; Sell, quarterback; Haffey Jackson, right guard; Al- len, left guard; Seabury, right-tackle; Sweany, left tackle; McInnis, right end; Gillls, left end | The men who will alternate with some | of the?s men should they get Injured or | the coaches withdraw them are Crow, and | Sanborn at halfback, Schaufele at full- | back, Davis and Kleinschmidt at ends; Brown at guard and Jones at tackle. The coaches were puzzled about some of positions up to the last minute. Tweedy and Crovggere about a stand-off for left halfback ‘;’d it was only Tweedy’s good showing in the game against Bel- | mont last Tuesday that won him favor. | Crow did not have as good a chance to shine when the coaches put him in, in the second half, but he would be a credit to any freshman eleven. Sanborn is close up to these, but he hasn’t quite the dash nd fighting spirit needed to win. Davis and Kleinschmidt at left and right end, in the places of Gillls and Mec- Innis against the varsity last Thursday, showed the true fighting spirit and if the regular men fall out will be able to fill up well. Jones ran a close race with Sweany for tackle, but his injuries kept | him out of the game so much he wasn't | able to get into shape. As for the team itself there is not much that the ordinary eye can see that is wanting. The line has hardly been bat- tered backward at all in the practice games in which it has been engaged. It | has stood firmly against the assaults of such elevens as Belmont and Santa Clara, | against men every bit as big as them- { selves. The gains of the other teams ;hrough this freshman line have been ew. The line has five big men in Haffey at | center, Jackson and Allen guards, Sea- bury and Sweany tackles. About the most spectacular of these is Allen, who has acquired a pleasant habit of opening up a hole in the opposing line and then dragging a halfback or two through with him for a gain of ten or fifteen yards. The others know their business, too. In Mclnnis and Gillls, the right and left | ends respectively, the line has two out- | posts that are a great help to it and to the backs 'also. Both of them have the fighting blood of tigers running through | their veins. They are little men, and like all little men, full of grit and the never- say-die spirit. Kern is, of course, the star at the half- back position. If the team had another back like him there would be nothing to | hesitate about in picking the winner. Kern has the dash and the head and all the grit needed by the ideal half-back. He hits the line hard every time he gets a chance at the ball, and if he doea&x't make ground it is not his fault. There is talk of putting Kern on the varsity team after the freshman game. As a fullback Gabriel is not a star, but a hard, consistent player. He 18 in all the fighting and takes all the desperate chances going. He kicks the ball a good distance whenever it is passed to him. The freshman eleven has managed to go through the season so far without a defeat, or everr a score against it, though the ball has been mighty near th& cross- bars sometimes. In one or two cases it was only luck and the width of a hair that stood between the team and a de- feat or a tle. The team. has beaten the Berkeley High School, the Lick School, the Palo Alto High School, the Oakland High Schoo), the Santa Clara College and the Belmont School elevens. Stanford cannot show such a list of vic- tories, as her team Wwas beaten twice by teams California defeated—Palo Alto and Belmont. Still the coaches do not think cente: 'EXCITING GAMES ARE EXPECTED BY THE FOOTBALLERS| Seven Clubs Will Struggle( for the Championshio of| the Association League e N active and a brilliant season is in store for the assoclation football A players of San Francisco and neigh- borhood. Not only have the clubs increased in number, but each club has more members and greater enthusiasm than it had last year. In the season of 1%02-03 there were five clubs in the Cali-| fornla Association Football League. | These were the Alblon Lodge of Oakland, | the American-British Rifles, the Inde-| pendent, San Francisco and Vampire clubs. Toward the close of the season the San Francisco team became short of players and it has gone out of existence. The American-British Rifles team, which | won the league championship after an ex- ccedingly close tussle with the Vampires, has also ceased to exist. The best players | from the defunct clubs have joined ather | teams. The following teams make up the league and will play the regular scheduled games for the championship of 1903-04: Vampires, Independents, Albion Rovers, Hornets, Thistles, Pickwicks and Occi- | dentals, the last four being new organiza- | tions. As there are seven clubs and three grounds three matches will be played each Sunday, one team drawing a bye. The grounds are Idora Park, on Tele- graph avenue, Oakland; the cricket ground at Webster street, Alameda, and the National baseball ground at Ninth and Bryant streets, San Francisco. Sev- erdl other teams in addition to those al- ready named are being formed, among them being an Olympic Club eleven, a team of members of the ambulance corps of Alameda and another of Naval Re- serve men. Two high schools in Alameda are playing association football, and it is expected elevens will be made up at Stan- fd University and the University of California. The opening matches of the season will be played on Sunday, Novem- ber 1, for the league championship. On open days teams mnot included in the league will play for a cup, the games for the trophy beginning in January, 1904. The schedule of the league is as follows: November 1—Albion Rovers Hornets, vs. Thistles. ents, Occidentals Pickwicks and Thistles vs. Alblon Rovers. November 15—Albion Rov- ers vs. Thistles, Vampires vs. Hornets and In- dependents vs. Pickwicks. November 22—Hor- | nets vs. Thistles, Occidentals vs. Independents and Pickwicks vs. Vampires.

The management of Idora Park has ex- pended about $1500 in putting the grounds into good condition for play. The French club has found itself unable to make up a football team. Its best players have joined the Vampires. L e e o e e ] this counts for anything, for the reason that a freshman eleven is always the most uncertain quantity in athletics. Here is what Coach Whipple of California says: “The eleven seems to be in the finest condition. It probably is at its best just now, but it may go to pieces on Saturday. That's the way with freshman teams; you can never tell how they are going to act. The crowd and the other side must have something to do with it. Therefore I do not want to brag about a freshman team in advance.” The freshman team played a game against the varsity on Thursday of this week. It lost, of course, but managed to hold the varsity to five points, made on a field goal. The freshmen didn’t have their best team in, Kern, Seabury, Gillis and McInnis having. been withdrawn in order to avold injuries before Saturday. - | | CROCKER TROPHY TO ATTRACT THE FLEETEST HOUNDS Leashmen Eager to Win the Valuable Cup Offered by the Candidate for Mayor —_— OMPETITION will be keen among the leashmen next week at Ingleside Coursing Park. In addition to the money value of the stakes there will be valuable trophies to mark the occa- sicn. Henry J. Crocker, the Republican can- didate for Mayor, has offered a valuable cup to be competed for in the champion stake. Henry H. Lynch, the Republican candidate for Sheriff, has offered a cup to go to the winner of the open event on the same occasion. L The following week the Schmitz cup will be coursed for by grevhounds owned by the members of the San Francisco Coursing Club. Each member will be al- lowed one nomination. In each instance one victory makes the trophy the prop- erty of the winner. The English Greyhound studbook for this year is out. It shows the sport of the lrash is thriving in that country. The total registration is 3603 greyhounds. There are 1544 individual owners repre- sented. One thousand and seventy-two litters were registered, a greater num- ber than in any previous year. The nearest approach was in 1897, when the total was 1014. M. Michaelex has issued a challenge to run any dog in, Fresno with his grey- hound, Jameson Boy, for from $100 to $500 & side. The challenge is directed particular- ly against the Greichen Kennel. The California Coursing Committee, the governing body of the sport in California, has granted the San Francisco Coursing Club representation on its board of man- agers. The club was allowed two repre- sentatives, Jerry O'Shea and M. Kelly. The committee has expelled H. H. Lyon, delegate from the Los Angeles Coursing Club. He was found guilty of assaulting Judge P. M. (Mitch) Curtis by the latter club. He has been forbidden to serve in any official capacity with any club or park affilliated with the California Cours- ing Committee. G. H. Bertram of Modesto has succeeded A. W. Clark as judge at the Fresno Coursing Park. The card at Union Park this week is made up of a well balanced sixty-four- dog stake. A number of the young grey- hounds, which have shown themselves possessed of considerable <lass, are in the running. morrow, as usual, upon the arrival of the 10:15 a. m. train. There will also be a special train at 1 o’clock. The likely win- ners look to be: Mickey Free, Sempronius, Ione Hill, Vina, Master Davenport, Articulate, Anchor, Gam- bit, Remisso Animo, Red Rock, Old Ironsides, Liberator, Melrose, Charter Member, Fenil, Fontenoy, Reckless Acrobat, Fair Oaks, Belle Free, Warco.

Lacrosse, which really started in what is now Alabama, Its history extending as far back as Indian lore can be traced, has reached its highest degree of excel- lence in Canada, although in the Eastern States it is rapidly growing in popularity and some strong clubs are springing up. It is a game that must be played only by well-trained -athletes if it is to be excit- ing. So well prepared for their exertions are the best exponents of the game that they can stand the strain of elghty min- utes of the fiercest play. In fact, in the most important games, such as that of to- day, it is the rule, almost without excep- tion, that the last period of twenty min- utes is the fastest of the four. The teams that meet to-day have played together but twice before, both times in British Columbia and during the early | part of this menth. Each has a victory to its credit, so to-day's game will decide the ser! It will be a hard game from the start, as each team is going on the grounds determined to win. means the lacrosse supremacy of the world to the winners All over Canada the interest in tRe result is great. Lacrosse is the swiftest game of all out- door sports. Its great charm from the standpoint of the spectator is its simplic- ity. The veriest novice can grasp Its salient points in a moment. The play is open and swift, requiring remarkable deft- ness with the stick and unerring accuracy in placing ‘the ball. The ball flies from man to man with a brilliancy that is daz- There are raps given and raps taken, for it is no ladies’ game. Only strong young men can play it, and its spice of danger is one of its greatest attractions to the men who carry the sticks. Both teams for to-day’'s game are in the best possible condition. Yesterday they rested for the game, indulging in light exercise in the morning and car rides to places of inter- est in the afternoon. President William Greer Harrison of the first “‘face.” An announcer will keep the the game.

The coming | matches will be much more interesting | than those of a week ago when it was | the poor players against the cracks. To- morrow some of the best players will meet and close matches should result. All of the good players survived in the | preliminary and first round and final hon- | ors will undeubtedly fall to one of them. R. N. Whitney and Drummond MacGavin, two of the most heavily handicapped men, stand a good chance of winning. Will | Allen, playing from the same mark, is | probably too heavily handicapped to make | much progress. The Baker brothers, the two newcomers at the park, who won the last tournament so cleverly, are expect- ed to cut some figure. George Baker will meet Whitney and with odds of “owe 134 15" stands more than an even chance of winning. Neil Baker is on the scratch mark and his steady game will prove a stumbling block to his opponents. Baker will play Harry Rolfe on even terms this morning. Rolfe is a young California Club player, who has. been making rapid strides of late, but who lacks Baker's tournament experience. Another rising young player who will bear watching is Clarence Grifin. He will meet the winner of the Whitney-G. | Baker match and will make either of them play their best to win. The tournament committee of the Cal- i ifornia Tennis Club is busily engaged ar- | ranging tournaments for the winter | months. It Is the intention of the com- e to hold one tournament a month.

Yesterday Aloyzy Syl- vester Borkowski, who claims to be a nephew of the deceased Polish woman filed a centest of the wiil, alleging that when she made the document bequeath- ing her 330,000 estate to Charles Rickman her mind was unsound. It was only a few months ago that Maria Nachugall a trained nurse, who claimed to be & daughter of Mrs. Krzyzanowski, Mled a contest of the will. Her suit was par- tially heard, when she made an offer to compromise Ler claim. Rickman consent- ed and paid Miss Nachti; she withdrew, gall $10,000, and to
