Hudson will go in as right end, if he is able, and Demeritt as left end. Hudson is not any better than Olivéer, who is his substitute, ex- cept that he has had more experience. ~The trouble with both Demeritt and Oliver is that they do not get in and break up interf-rence. The biggest danger we stand in, however, i from the ends Josing sight of the ball on some trick play The new rules give chances for lots of trick plays that may turn out to be costly for the team if the men do not look sharp. The efficiency back of our line_if we have any, lies in unity of action. e men are £00d on the offensive and much better on the defensive than Jast v though ‘they still have & good deal to learn.” Mini, the left half, is the best of the four. Stern at full is fair, but he does not use his strength as he should. Whipple is a little slow. More at quarter is not as good as he was last vear, though he { should have heen better. His strength lies in | his_coolness and generalship, The backs Wil not do any end running be- cause of the superiority of the Stanford ends. At present it seems our play is to break down the opposing line. By straight smashing men out. As the game progresses. if things | 8o as wish, their efficlency will grow less and less, The smashing game will be necessary on ac- count of the new rules, which force playing @against the line. The new rules were designed to make the play. more open, but they have had the opfbwite efect. Heretofore there was in- terference behind the line, but the rules forbid that now in certain parts of the field, so that line-bucking is necessary, team work has improved greatly within the last two weeks, and I think will compare well with Stanford’s, We have been trying out halves all along in order to get the pick of them. There has been a good deal of talk about our not having selected our backs and perfected team work, but we could mot -do It. We have had a veteran line all the time, but not veteran backs.

So you see | 1t has been uphill work getting the team to act | like a machine ! There has been a about lot of talk, too, California’s offside play, has been little of that It has been more un- hands and interference with center and ing than offside play, for which | violations the rules are much more rigid this year.

Wheeler. vie” Over- ]’nll and the rest of the football heroes all made speeches, or tried hard to do so, times the *“Oski! wow! | afl California” and the * were shouted with the con- centrated power of those thousand lungs. | “Ovie” Overall, captain of the eleven, | struck the first note when he said the | team was out to win and that its per- | fect condition and team work would carry | it across the line to victory. He.said: “I | am glad to say that every man is in per- | fect condition. At the beginning of the | season we were slow, but the men have awakened. I cannot see anything but vic- tory. I propose three cheers for the coaches and for the second eleven.” The cheers were given and then John R. Glascock of the class of '65 said some things that brought out the last of any latent enthusiasm that might have been lurking around in dark corners. The col- lege was small in his day, he said, but what there was of it fought hard. That is all that is left for California to do Sat- urday—fight hard. The cheers burst ‘Wheeler when he said “The blue and gold must and shall win.” He aid not believe in boasting, but he did not mind bragging about this game. “Not onlvy the 5500 people at the game next Saturifly,” he said, “but the million other souls of this State will be looking in upon it. Thou- sancs will be there to contribute their yells, but a million will be there by proxy and you are thelr proxies.” Coach Whipple was escorted to the plat- form by a howling crowd of: “rooters.” He sald: “It has been said the players did not work hard. This is all rot. The men have been bruised more than usual this year. any of them have been laid off. They 1l want to win. I don't care whether we win or lose, you ought to be proud of them. If we lose it will not be because the boys did not try or are not in condi- tion, but because Stanford has the better team.” " Walter Christie said if Stanford is faster than California back of the line they will “have to show him’ next Saturday. ‘Warren Olney Jr. induiged in some rem- iniscences of early football days, going back to the time when ‘were first brought into the West from Eastern Uni- versities, .

TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 12. —Sixteen hundred people, half of | them composing the Stanford root- ing section, crowded Assembly Hall to-night in a monster rally for the varsity football eleven. The enthusiasm of the assemblage, had it needed encour- agement, found sufficient incentive in the speeches made by President Jordan, | | Coach Lanagan, Trainer Moulton and others. President Jordan and Coach Lanagan were outspoken in their praise of the spirit shown by the football squad this year and of the careful attention which the men had paid to training rules. “The way to win,” sald President Jordan, “is | to deserve to win, and the team this year deserves to win.” Coach Lanagan thanked the student body for the support given the coaches and the team and expressed his confi- dence that every man on the eleven would do his best on Saturday to win a victory. Dr. Frank Angell of the faculty ath- letic committee, Professors Lewers, Duni- way and Whitaker and “Dad” Moulton also addressed the meeting. Every song | and yell that will be given on Saturday was thoroughly tried out until the hall | fairly re-echoed with the cheering. Afterward the rooters danced serpentine | around a bonfire, placed in the center of | the inner quadrangle. In attempting to | take a flashlight picture of the serpentine an assistant in a Palo Alto photograph gallery had his hand badly crushed by the explosion of a flashlight cartridge. ; @ il el @ SOME LATE FACTS ABOUT OUR BRAINS Obcervations on the Relations of Skulls to the Mental Powers. Man's curfosity is naturally boundless cohcerning his brain, which is believed to be the seat and the token of that mental power which makes him the undisputed | king of the earth. If the brain were really such a box of drawers as some phrenologists have assumed, with every- thing in its place and all possible faculties | accounted for, human heads could be clas- | sified as readily as plants, and nobody | could fail to distinguish between them | any more than.one can fail to elect roses from lilies. One might predict absolutelv from a glance at his head that a given young | man must become a great financier or a poet or a philosopher, with no more dan- | ger of a mistake than in asserting that one tree will produce acorns and another apples. But the shrewder sort of phrenol- ogists see that this will not do. and so they endeavor to modify the bases of their sclence. to suit the infinitery varied facts of human nature and development. The real progress in brain study is made by those who undertake the work as far | as possible without any preconceived and pre-perfected theory to 'lead or mislead them. Dr. H, Mantiegka has recently published in the ‘“Proceedings of the Royal Scientific Soclety of Bohemia” some remarkable observations on the re- lations of the weight of the brain and the size and shape of the skull to the mental powers of man. These investigations show the impor- tance of good feeding to brain develop- ment.. The brain cannot do Its work without an abundance of pure, well-nour- ished blood. Other things being equal, a heavier train implies greater mental pow- er, and Lr. Mantiegka finds that persons employed in industries where the nourish- ment of the body is apt to be insufficient and the muscular exercise slight show, as a rule, higher brains than do more fa- vorably circumstanced persons. Blacksmiths and metal workers in gen- eral have heavier brains than coachmen, but the latter exceed carpenters in brain weight, and carpenters exceed persons employed in clothing industries, while at the bottom of the scale stand those who are engaged in the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks, who are apt to do mere or less drinking tnemselves. It would also appear that the weight of the brain may be increased by the direct exercise of its own function, men of men- tal training showing, as a rule, greater brain weight than others. It should be remembered that the size of the head cannot be taken as a trustworthy index of the weight of the brain. The organic quality is the mai nthing.—London Ex- press. ———————— Labouchere Walked Home. Henry Labouchere, as a young diplo- mat, was fond of amusing and bewilder- ing his superiors. For instance, it is sald that once he was instructed to come home to London from Constantinople. He wasn't heard of for some time, and apparently lost in the midst of the Black Forest, or some of the other lands that intervened between him and home. He was at last traced; and then caimly wrote that he was obeying orders, and was making his way homeward: but that as his chief had forgotten to send him any money to pay the expense by the ordinary methods of traveling, he was working his foot.—Argonaut | [+ Men Do Not Line Up but Are Kept TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov.| 12.—The varsity eleven appeared on the gridiron to-night for the last practice prior to thelr contest with California on Saturday.

At the conclusion of the races the floor was cleared for dancing. ———————— Wives of Great Men. Lord Salisbury’'s death has brought to ! mind the great influence exercised upon both his private and public life by his wife. The most unassuming of women, Lady Salisbury possessed the great facul- ty of giving encouragement to and inspir- | ing enthusiasm In others, and her tact and judgment were unerring. As a wife she proved a helpmeet indeed to the man | who risked his father's ire in marrying, as a younger son, a lady who possessed neither beauty nor wealth, and, more- over, was not of his own soclal rank. She made an ideal poor man's wife, for at the time of their marriage Lord Salis- bury, then Lord Robert Cecil, was work- ing hard to earn an income, and she was equally successful as the wife of one of | England's greatest statesmen. A womun‘ ho can have played two such parts so as to win the sincere approval and devo- tion of her husband must indeed have possessed high qualities. When one comes to think it over, great Englishmen have in many notable instances possessed wives of strong and sweet character, who in most cases have not been women of great mental attainments. A-man of dis- tinetion, whether he is a statesman, poct, painter or scientist, does not want a blazing star by his side. It is the gentte, tactful, . resourceful woman who stan Fim in good stead, whose value is not patent to every chance acquajntance, who | destres not glory for herself save only | that of keeping her husband true to ms best self and of making her children worthy of their father.—London World.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—Eight out of the nine horses which started i e Union handicap, for all ages, at six furlongs, at Jamaica to-day, passed the judges heads apart. It was the most sensational finish seen on a Metropolitan race track in many days and was a high tribute to the skill of W. S. Vosburgh, the ofcial han- dicapper. Incidentally, Sweet Alice, 8 to 1, which in spite of numerous victories of late, has been generally underrated, won by a head. It was an open betting affair, with King Pepper a favorite at 3 to 1. E. E. Smath Irene Lindsey, carrying a $5000 commission from her owner, closed second choice at 9 to with Gay Boy, top weight, at 5 to 1, and Elsie L backed down to 6 to 1. It was a terrific drive all the way down the stretch, Sweet Alice getting the verdict by a head from Lux Casta, 15 to 1, which rushed up from nowhere and would have won in another jump. Lux Casta was a head be- fore Irene Lindsey In the last race Pass Book, owned by W. C. Fessenden, in a field of thirteen horses, won at 50 to 1. By placing his money in small amounts Fessenden was able to get most of it down at 100 to 1, after which the price graduaily dropped to 50 to 1. ssenden, it is said, took about 330,000 from the bookmakers.
