In the first half the honors were about even and at no time was either team in much danger of scoring. The Horace Mann boys had a decided advantage throughout the second half. They worked the ball down to their opponents’ one yard line, but lost the ball on downs. The entire half was played in Horace Maunn's territory. The teams lined up as follows: Horace Mann. Position.

It is freely admitted by Hopper and by every blue and gold man that the team which California puts on the grid- fron this year to battle with the crack eleven from Stanford is what men call a “green team.” Only six out of the| eleven mgn selected to wear the sweat- ers with a big “C” on them have played 'varsity football before, a showing ex- ceeded by Stanford, according to re-| port of the personnel of the cardinal eleven sent out from the rival univer- sity. | . The veterans in the blue and gold| ranks include Captain Ben Stroud, | “Heine” Heltmuller, “Greek” Howard, | Ed Stern, James Snedigar and “Sunny Jim” Force. The last two men entered | the game with Stanford last year rath- | er late, but still they are classed as| veterans because of that taste of battle. | The team is the lightest California has | had to carry its colors for a number of | years. Despite this circumstance and | the knowledge, too, that as Coach Hop- per says, the California team is a green | team, confidence in its ability to hold | the cardinal and eventually to beat| the Stanford stars is almost perfect. TEAM WORK A FACTOR. Hopper has taught the men team | ANOTHER FAST MILE —— MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 11.—Lou Dil- lon smashed the world’'s unpaced mile trotting record at the Driving Park to- day by completing a mile in two in- utes and one second. The former rec- Lou Dillon was driven by Millard Sanders, her trainer, and was accompanied by a runner at the side. The weather con- ditiong were bad, the day being cold and disagreeable. To-day’'s meeting had been properly advertised so as to| give Lou Dillon’s performance an offi- cial rating. After scoring twice the word was given. The little mare stepped the first quarter in 30 seconds flat. When straightened out down the was held jointly by Lou| | | Dillon and Major Delmar. back stretch, Sanders célled on her for a! York on Monday. | vietory will be theirs | the handicap that attacks of measies ity to move as a machine Hopper Is conceded to be a past master. His ef-| forts have been directed to that end! and the result has gratified him beyond measure. He has seen a lot of green men get into the play with the few vet- erans on the team in perfect unison and with a surprising force as the re- suit of the good team work developed in the movement. Each man has had it drilled and pounded into’ him that if always they work together, each for the team and the team for each man. Both coach and captain pronounce the men in excellent condition, despite and minor ailments put upon the eleven during the last week. The polishing off process has been well done, and each | man of the eleven that will sally out on the new California field to-morrow will be fit. There will be no talk at| Berkeley of bad luck in the matter of poorly conditioned players. Captain Ben Stroud rates his team as points better than Stanford. Stroud does not talk much. His words cdunt | for a good deal when he does give them | out. The big captain has played three times against Stanford, and has fairly earned the honor of captainin fornia’s eleven. Stroud has alw played center, except in his freshman vear, when Overall was ruled off for | slugging and Stroud took his place for the rema °r of the game. He 23 years old, feet nine inches and a half tall and a prominent fraterr man. On the right of Captain Stroud will be Edgar Stern, who was the fullback on the 'varsity team last year. He is the heaviest man on the team except Stroud. Besides his experience on the *varsity, Stern had several years’ play as fullback and end of the Arcata High School team, which he captained during one season. He is especially effective at offensive work, many of the gains made in preliminary games this season being directly traceable to him. Prentiss N. Gray is to be left guard. He has never played against Stanford, | but despite the fact, he is not looke upon as an inexperienced man. Gra: played left guard on the freshman | team here during his first year and in his sophomore year was on the s ond cleven. At the Oakland+ High School he played for two years as guard and tackle.

Foree is from the Colorado School of Mines. He play=d on the North Denver High School team as tackle. RELY ON HEITMULLER. William ¥ Heitmuller, called “Heine,” will have the place of left tackle. He was the hero of last year's game when he got through Sprott, blocking a punt and making a touch- down, saving the game for California. Heitmuller has been on the 'varsity for three years. He does the puntiug fo the tcam, and is looked upon as sec- ond only to Overall in this feature of the game. He is from the Lick School in San Francisco, where he played for three years as a tackle. ‘Greek” Howard will be at left end He, too, has played for three years on the 'varsity. He was left tackle in 1902 and 1904, and made a fine showing against Stanford's best men. He was put on the end this year, however, be- ause good ends scarce. Force was able to take place at tackle without marring the veness of the team. Howard in t new posi- tion has made good. He is from Oak- land High School, where for three years he played as guard and halfback, cap- taining the team In his freshman year here he played guard on the fresh- man team. Roy H. Elliot, a green man, will have an end place, probably the right end. He has never played 'varsity football before. He is looked upon as particu- larly good at running Iin punts and stopping up trick plays. It has been found hard work to get around his end were his by opposing teams in preliminary games this season. “Jack™ Belknap, the only married man on the team, has played as quar- terback with marked ability. He gets the team into play more rapidly than any quarterback seen here in recent His jugdment is excellent, and though the smallest man on the team he is always In t scrimmages. He played two years at Dartmouth and has also played with Reliance on this coast. Willard Sperry is the lone freshman on the team. He had never played football before coming to the univer- sity. At Christmas last year he made a “C™ at the track and soon was put on the "varsity squad. Sperry towered above all the men on the freshman team this year, and is called “Cannon- ball” because of the great gains he makes. Claude Kern, whe freshman team last captained the year, will play Kern was the best ground gainer on his team He ruptured a blood vessel last year | and was put out of the game or he would have made the ’varsity then. His backing is hard to stop. His end running is fast, and he Is good at fol- lowing interference. Boothe, who may run the team at quarter, is from Spokane, where he e Rt TES WHO WILL REPRESENT THE UNIVERSITY i NIA TO-DAY ON THE NEW GRIDIRON AT BERKELEY IN THE STRUGGLE | FOR. SUPREMACY WITH THE GIANTS FROM STANFORD UNIVERSITY. OF CALIFOR- * and ability to stand punishment is looked upon as remarkable by his team mates, all of whom have marveled at the man’'s absolute disregard of physi- cal pain in rough scrimmages. Never a play but he is in the midst of it and always hard at work. “Sunny Jim" Force will be at right tackle. Force is a sophomore, but he made the team with comparative ease. He played substitute fullback last year and was in the big game in the last e played for three years at his “prep.” school. It was his playing in the game- against Nevada last Saturday that as- sured him a place on the "varsity this year. Lasater is from Whitman College. He is to be the fullback of the team. He had three years’ experience befor: coming to Berkeley, though he has never played ‘varsity ball before. He is a hard tackler and a brilliant per- former in his position.
