10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDA OCTOBER 29, 1904, - Blue and Gold Squad Strong Numerically MANY MEN TRIED 0ld Players Are at Work as Coaches BERKELEY, Oct. 28.—From pres- ent indications it seems the team that - represent the blue and gold egainst the cardinal on November 12 three will consist of twenty-two or men instead of eleven. Coach Hop- per has developed that number of men and it is certain he will spare no men in the fray, as he has plenty and to spare. Berkeley's tactics in the big game this year will be to play hard end fast and use all their men if necessary. Dr. Frank Simpson, who played tackle on the '96 and '97 varsity and who coached the plucky little team that defeated Stanford 2-0 in 1901, is helping Hopper on the field. He is giving his atte n to the tackle po- sition. With Greisburg working at center and guards, Kerfoot taking care of the guarter position and Mini end Hopper at work on the ends and backs, the blue and gold has the larg- est i of coaches it has had in the boa history of football. This s the reason so large a number of good ividual players has been @eveloped at Berkeley this year and with such efficient team work. ack of the line are twelve men, none sure of a place and all likely to play. At full, Boynton have distanced titors. Both men are fierce on has a fine hurdling great gains, but m out quickly. Boynton his center drives and better than his competi- have been good for five, even fifteen yards through any m against which the blue and gold bas lined this year. At haulfback California has six re- liable men who can be counted on. Of these Sperry, the big freshman, is the most reliable He is the heaviest of the six and has more endurance. Kern end runs, as is Graves, but 1 will not last long. White 1 are beth good players. Mead y strong in backing up the line d running interference, and White’s long suit is " ucking through | kle or center. Olie Snedigar is on field again and in condi‘ion and it seems there is nothing the big half can’t do. His last two nights’ practice the squad has proved how irresist- ible his bucks and end runs are. There is little doubt that all six of these men will play scme time at half in the big game The fight for quarter is still more in- teresting Belknap, the famous little quarter, who plared on the Dartmouth tezm that defeated Harward 9-0 in 1806 and again in 1901, is on the field and Kittrelle and Booth both have to hustle. Belknap’s interference is su- perb and his generalship seldom faul- ty. Whitman. a sophomore, is making these men fight hard also. His work in the game with Oregon raised him a | notch i.. the fight Captain Stroud will hold down the center position with Stern, Gray and Haffey as guards. Stern is the heav- jest man on the line and has great en- durance. It is probable that Gray and Haffey will divide up one guard posi- tion. Heine Heitmuller and Jim Force at tackles are both sure of their positions, @s there is no one who can compete with the They have improved all season At ends, Henry, Howard, Elliott, and Caminetti will all get a cha Howard played tackle on last year's varsity and Oliver is a second eleven man. —————— ACADEMIC LEAGUE FOOTBALL. Lick and Oakland to Play for the Championship. The Academic League has developed scme strong football teams this year | and as a result the games are well at- tended. The defeat of Santa Rosa and Palo Alto last’Saturday leaves but two teams to fight it out for ‘the cham- pionship. They are Lick of San Fran- cisco and Oakland High School. The semi-final games were both one-sided and are of little value in getting a line on the two remaining teams. It is doubtful if a high school team ever played better football than Lick dig last Saturday. They started with the ball and the way they bucked the line and ran ends was a revelation. Coaches Smock and Cavanaugh have worked wonders with their material. 'Cardinal Men Do Not Show Brilliancy LACK CLEVERNESS Varsity Team 1 of Selection STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 28.— i With the intercollegiate championship | gridiron squad is scarcely as efficient as {should be expected so late in the s { son. o - | Most of the rudimentary points | jof the game the men have mastered | team has not responded to its coaching | as readily as it should. { It is a part of Coach Lanagan’s pol- | icy to not actually organize his varsity | eleven until a few days before the final game. As a consequence the players |are still being shifted back and forth | between first and second squads, and | the so-called varsity team is seldom the same as on the previous day. Judgment | of the team’s strength is thus rendered uncertain. This week one or two significant changes, which will probably be per- manent, have taken place. R. A. | Thompson, who has been playing tackle, was put back into his old posi- tion of right guard a few days ago. He was an efficient tackle, but it is thought he will be more valuable in his former | place, where his weight and experience will be of assistance toan inexperienced | center such as the cardinal will have. Shields is playing steadily at his old | position of left tackle. C. E. Hyde, who was out of the game -for two weeks with a bad knee, is playing again. He is making the strongest race for the | contested center rush position. | The coaches have devoted consider- |able time this week to trying out all | available punting material. Dole, Sprott {and Trowbridge have made the best | showing in this feature. The former | two show about equal ability, and it is| | vet doubtful which one will be depend- | ed upon for kicking in the big game. | Should both of them receive injuries | sufficient to put them out of the con- test Trowbridge will be a strong man to fall back upon. Scrimmage work between the two squads opened early in the week, with general lack of spirit and dash, but im- proved steadily during the last few | days. As a rule the second eleven has Is in State | | game only two weeks off, the Stanford | | well, but in speed at advancing the ball | | and cleverness at defense the varsity | | DUCKS RETURN IN NUMBERS TO FAVORITE MARSHES. — R CORINTHIANS AT THE LAST JINKS OF 04 After the arrival from this city of | the 6:30 p. m. ferry-boat at Tiburon this evening the regular Corinthian dinner will be served in the club- house, under the efficient supervision of Port Captain John H. Keefe. When the jolly tars have disposed of the corned beef, beans and other nautical foods they will adjourn to the main hall, where Frank Thompson and many other old favorites will give a Jinks. The closing cruise of the season will be taken to-morrow under orders from Commodore Jennings. As the tide runs out from 10:42 a. m. till 4:53 p. m. at Fort Point to-morrow the Speedwell will set a course to the upper bay, going up on the end of the flood and returning on the ebb. This is the last scheduled cruise of the sea- son for the Corinthians. To-night the closing entertainment of the season will be given in the quarters of the California Yacht Club on_ Oakland Creek. To-morrow the last cruise of the season will be made, under signal from Commodore G. M. Shaw’s vawl Idler.

The Alameda | oarsmen held a meeting in their club- | house and passed resolutions charging the officers of the Pacific Association with neglect and mismanagement of the affairs of the oarsmen and with adopt- ing tricky methods to maintain them- selves in power. Meetings have been held by the row- ing men at which the conduct of the board of managers of the Pacific Asso- ciation has been condemned, and the { oarsmen have discussed the question of retiring from the association and forming an organization of rowing clubs only. W. B. Hinchman, the president of the Pacific Association, who was for | many years secretary of the Alameda Boat Club, has withdrawn from the club. The Alameda Boat Club has sent in its resignation to the Pacific Association, but it has not heen ac- cepted, the board of managers saying charges such as those made by the { oarsmen should be sybstantiated. The | managers of the association claim the | charges are false and libelous, and have appointed a committee, consist- ling of T. I.

It seems, however, likely that several yachtsmen will seek quar- ters for their yachts elsewhere for the coming winter season. It is said that the current runs through the new Bel- vedere bridge so strongly that only a short period of slack water is left for | the boats to pass in at the entrance. Some of the yacht owners, unwilling to take the risk of damaging their craft, may decide to lay them up in Corte Madera Creek. The closing jinks of the San Fran= cisco Yacht Club, given last Saturday in the clubhouse at Sausalito were well attended. Financial Secretary A. G. A. Mueller acted as announcer, per- forming a part traditionally taken by Dr. T. L. Hill. An important feature of the evening was the presentation by Commodore W. G. Morrow to the Val- lejo Yacht and Boat Club of a large hammered copper punch bowl, silvered inside and with a silver ladle, in ac- knowledgment of the kindnesss of the club to visiting San Francisco yachts- men. “Judge” Brown, on behalf of the Vallejo Yacht Club, accepted the hand- some gift and made an excellent re- sponse. Among those who contributed to the enjovment of the evening were: Ted Greenfield, in Hawaiian specialties; Frank Thompson, stories and songs; Wilson and Miller, in a musical sketch entitled “‘Going to the Ball”; Professor H. Chiva, instructor of the Olympic Club, and K. Shiga, in an exhibition of jiu-jitsu, the Japanese art of self-de- fense; E. Phillips.and R. B. Cornell, Chris Pentony and M. Rapp, E. Me- Kevitt and E. H. Vanier, M. Vickie and T. Riordan, wrestlers, with George S. Miehling as referee; J. Gallagher and W. Dwyer, Mat Greenfield and J. McBride; boxers, with De Witt Van Court as referee. During the evening Jim Logan, who has rendered valuable services to the club as a director gen- eral of the culinary department, was presented with a souvenir and token of gratitude from his fellow members.- Next Saturday, the 29th inst., the crews of the yachts Sappho, Minne- tonka, Royal, Thetis, Ariel, Juanita, Halcyon and the launches Florinda and Sequoia will give a closing dance at the house of the San Francisco Yacht Club at Sausalito. Invitation cards have been issued and it is an- nounced that, through the courtesy of the North Shore Ralilroad, a spe- cial ferry-boat will leave San Fran- cisto at 7:15 p. m., returning from Sausalito at 12:15 and reaching this city at 12:46.

She has played in three or four tourpaments and has won them all The fair players will meet in a scratch doubles tourney to-day.

Chief of Police Wittman yesterday sent to the Supervisors coples of communications forwarded on August 11 last asking that the ordinance pro- hibiting the selling of pools on horse races be amended so that it would net be necessary to prove that the race was actually run. Wittman stated that it was impossible to secure convictions of offenders because it would be nec~ essary to bring witnesses from the Eastern tracks. He asked that the ordinance be so worded as to prohibit pool selling on racés run or purported to be run. He repeats his re- quest that the amendments be adopted so- that the selling of pools may be suppressed. Wittman also repeats his request that an ordinance be adopted prohibe iting the shaking of dice in public places to reach the bunko men who shake for money in saloons with load- ed dice and who play top and bottom and other games to fleece the unwary. Although the communications were filed with the board more than two months ago nothing has been done to comply with the request of the Police Department and the law prohibiting Lool selling is being continuously vio- ted. —_—— David Cohen, aged 12 years, resid- ing at Sixth and Shipley streets, while riding his bicycle on’ O'Farrell street at the junction of Market ran his wheel between the two horses attach- ed to the Potrero Emergency Hospital wagon, which was on its way to the Cify Hall.
