The strength of California’s; backs is reduced somewhat by & lack of certainty on the part of the linemen in opening holes. In team play I should say California is again superior.

Sracrar ™ RIGHT GUARD - MARTIN KERRIGAN TO JUDGE AT UNION COURSING PARK Veteran Official Will Be in the To-Morrow on the San Msdteo County Field. Martin Kerrigan, who has been con- nected with coursing, both as owner and official for many years, will act at Union Park to-morrow as judge.

Saddle | estimation of Coach Knibbs. That is why, on the eve of the great gridiron contest with the rl\'a{ university at Palo Alto, there is predominating in Rerkeley a spirit that Coach Knibbs has communicated to the California team—a spirit that insists upon re- garding football as serious business,— and the most serious part of it all, the vow that Stanford must be defeated on her own field to-morrow afternoon, in the presence of the legion of blue and gold adherents and of the cardinal. The team to-night Is resting. Its training work is over. Knibbs has put the men through their last paces in practice. They know now all the Dart- mouth man can teach them, in a season of two months’ drilling. California spirit has proved pliable to the Dart- mouth man's urging and has welded into a compact, intelligent, mighty whole, every part of which is thor- oughly suffused with Knibbs' own gal- lant soul. It is the absence of “hip, hip, hur- rah,” and the overpowering sense of seriousness, communicated by Knibbs to the men, that has helped to strike a note of something akin to solemnity in the big student body. .All of this is a marked change from the status of things in other years before the big game. PLAYERS ARE SERIOUS. ‘When Stanford meets California-to- morrow afternoon she will encofinter eleven men who know how pleasant the joys of victory are, but who will pre- sent grim, quiet faces to the foe when the ball is put into play and during eyery minute that action is called for. Knibbs' eyes—the eyes of the cold, si- lent but tremendously forceful man from Dartmouth—will be on them, and his spell will preserve_ that deadly se- riousness which has made the varsity squad this year more like a band of youths training for war than a lot of college boys being equipped for a foot- ball game. The team has a lot more to make it confident and courageous, though, than this spirit of serious determina- tion. Trainer Christy has helped to get and keep the squad in almost per- &e:t physical condition, so that the rs are in fine fettle. . The substitutes are also in perfect shape. Not an ac- cident has occurred to mar the sym- metry of the team’s make-up. Prentiss Gray has no game leg this year, as he did last, which he must carry into the game.and . writhe in i i are in'the pink of condition and only an accident can keep the Blue and Gold from scoring. The coaching has been of the best possible variety and vie- tory will be due in a large measure to Knibbs and Griffiin. The Dartmouth method is noth- ing more nor less thanm sys- tematic hard work and con- sistent training. The training behind closed doors fis mot Knibbs' idea, but was orl nated by the faculty. With California’s line and backs we should score three touchdowns. I think Stanford will cross our line once. The battle will be a hard-fought one, with clean play and sportsmanlike con- duct as the keynote.—Professor George C. Edwards, chairman Committee, Faculty Athletic University of California. LR e a0 agony while it is bruised and crushed by sturdier limbs. Gray will be there to-morrow with the traditional “gongs,” and every one in tune, and he will have company that Is trained to the hour. 2 NO INJURED MEN ON TEAM. Captain Force has not a scratch on him. Sperry is without a blemish. Snedigar, whose knee was in bad shape when he played last year, is fit to play the game of his life. So it goes all down the line. Not a vestige of an ex- cuse can California give in the way of talk about crippled men, If fortune should favor the cardinal on the field to-morrow. Captain Force declares the team is strictly in first-class shape, and he knows. S The edge of anxiety and expectation concerning the make-up of the eleven that Knibbs will put on the field in the first half of play has been partially dulled by reason of the fact that al- most every one has been convinced for several weeks that the veterans would all get their old places, so well has each man worked and so fit are they all. To be sure, as Captain Force ex- plains, they really are mot all “vet- erans” In the sense of having taken part in\a full game of varsity, ball, but they have all been seasoned to some ex- tent. and most of them pretty thor- ughly. Captain Force received his baptism as a tackle through the game last year, when he played so nobly, though against hope, to . Force years, knows the game perfectly and has helped Knibbs and Dr. Griffin gain the confidence of the players, earning his right to be called “captain.” HAFFEY A GIANT CENTER. The biggest man of the eleven is Haffey, slated for center. Haffey is built like a stone wall, weighing 192 pounds stripped and standing less than 6 feet high. He was substitute center last year and took Captain Stroud’s place when that gallant player was forced to leave the field near the end of the game. He Is from Sacramento, where he plaved center for three years on the high school team there. The smallest man of the team is Whitman, who has run the team at quarter so well that he is practically sure to go In when the whistle sounds to-morrow. Whitman played his first football last ‘year and did good work until a sprained ankle put him out of the game. He has done most of the work at quarter in the preliminary games. Boothe, the quarter last year, has been ailing this season, but still is a candidate for a bit of the honors to-morrow. In the event of Whitman being injured he-is sure to be called on. California takes greatest pride, per- haps, in her superb set of backs, three men whose speed, dash, nerve and grit have perhaps not been excelled in the history of football ‘elevens at Berkeley. Snedigar, the fleet sprinter, whase hun- dred-yard dashes and runs at longer distances on the cinder path have made him a champion on field days, is also so solid that his 175 pounds of brawn, | packed into 5 feet 10 inches of height, make him a tower of strength as a halfback. A SPERRY A GROUND GAINER. Mead is at Snedigar’s left in the line- up. He comes from Santa Cruz, where he played for three years, captaining his school team. “Cannon Ball" Sper- ry, fullback, a giant, whose first foot- ball experience was gained last year on the freshman team, is a first order. His interference and end runs are also good. He will be one of a trio of-backs upon whom California’s hopes are firmly fastened. trelle, both veterans. Elliott is from Sacramento. He made the varsity last r for the first time. Kittreile is a Santa Cruz man, with much experience and a reputation for grit and skill earned by deeds on the fleld.

Tlhre District Court of Appeal has de- cided that Judge Lucas F. Smith was not wantonly gulilty of contempt in dis- obeying its order staying proceedings in the Noel divorce case. The charge against him is dismissed, although his technical guilt is established. Theophilus Noel did not want Judge Smith to try his divorce case because he had taken part in the attempt to have the jurist impeached®at the last session of the Legislature. The Dis- trict Court of Appeal was requested to transfer the case to some other Judge. Pending a decision on the petition a stay was granted by’ the Justices. Judge Smith set a day for a hearing of the divorce suit and was immediately cited for contempt. The Court of Ap- peal says it is convinced that the aec- cused was doing only what he thought was his right and therefore refuses to punish him. —_——— Game Law Violators Caught. Two Indians guilty of killing deer out of season were arrested Monday by Deputy Fish Commissioners Warr and Sout in Amador County. The redskins were taken before a Justice of the Peace, who sent them to Nevada in company with the officers after he had learned that the Sagebrush State was their home. The prisoners were re- leased after a reprimand. F. Belleei and G. Olande have been fined $200 each at Fairfield for violating the saim- on law.

Wilding in the match between the Eagles and San Franciscos at Alameda On Saturday, the 18th inst., the Oakland Hornets will play against the newly or- sanized team of the University of Cali- fornia, the first Berkeley eleven that has ever played under association rules. For two or three weeks past several Berkeley students have been practicing each even- ing on the old football ground on the campus below California Hall. Eight of the students have become members of the Oakland Hornets, to learn the game. President Wheeler and the professors are strongly in favor of the game. Two years ago two league teams gave an exhibition match on the campus, but the undergraduates who watched it did not understand it and were not induced to take it up. Now the genmeral outery throughout the United States against the brutality and dangerousness of intercolle- giate football has provided a favorable opportunity for the introduction of asso- ciation football, which the visit of the crack English Pilgrim team -has shown to advantage. » 1ottt Princeton, Harvard, Haverford, Colum- bia, Chicago and the University of fornia have organized association tea A.

There will be little doing on the ten- nis courts to-day and to-morrow. The young ladies will compete in a “draw™ doubles tournament on the Golden Gate Park courts this merning. Nothing is scheduled for to-morrow on the park or the California Club courts. This Is the first Sunday in many weeks that will be productive of no match play. Play will be resumed in the first an- nual scratch doubles tournament at the Claremont Country Club to-morrow. If possible the event will be completed to the finals. Although the finals are not to be played until Thanksgiving day, the committee in charge realizes the uncertainty of the weather at this time of the year and is anxious to run off all but the finals as soon as pessible. So far the matches have been neither close nor particularly interesting. A good magch was expected when Perey Murdock and Tracy Crawford met Grant Smith and Frank Mitchéll. The strong wind which prevailed made 4‘ almost impossible to play good tem and the match was consequently devoid of feature. Smith and Mitchell got the balls back and Murdock and Craw- ford did the missing, particularly the latter. Mitchell played the best tennis of the four, which Is not saying much. The remaining matches will undoub edly prove interesting, as the five teams are evenly matched. The first match of the day will be between the Baker brothers and Melville Long and Clarence Griffin. The latter have never played together before, but both are clever youngsters. . The winner of this match will meet George Janes and Fred Adams in the semi-final round. On past perform- ances the two champions figure to be the best in this half. In the lower half the remaining teams are Herbert Schmidt and Har- ry Rolfe and Frank Mitchell and Grant Smith. The majority pick the latter to win, but it is by no means certain they will do so. Smith has been prac- tically out of the game for two years, and does not play as well as he used to. His service and volleying are weak- er than in former days. itchell has apparently seen his best days, and has always been an erratic player. On the other hand, Schmidt and Rolfe are youngsters who are coming to the front and their youth gives them a great ad- '\-antsla. The secretary of the Golden Gate Tennis Club has sent out notices for a | handicap doubles tournament to be | played on the park courts on Novem- |per 13. Entries close November 1. ————— I No Reward for Policeman Dow. City Attorney Long yesterday advised the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors to reject the claim of Park Policeman J. J. Dow for $50, which the Park Commissioners desired to pay him as a reward for arresting W. J. Lay- mance, who killed a peacock In Golden Gate Park. The opinion quotes from two court decisfons, which established the rule of this State that a publiec officer working for a fixed salary, or whose fees are prescribed by law, can- not demand or contract for the re- ward for services rendered in the line or scope of his publi¢ duty either from private parties or from the State or from any municipality. —_———— T e
