Should the predictions of the most cptimistic come to pass Stanford will have an all-star aggregation of veterans, Ihe actual number of the present ning team that will return to col- lége next autumn is hard to tell. Of the star team Of 1904 many were sched- ed to be present that did not arrive, iptain-elect Sprott and Jim Weller were both gooa for -another year had the “flunk-out” committee been will- ing. Tkris state of affairs is capable of repetition. the only man who will'surely be lost and one who has been a bulwark of strength in the Cardinal line for the past four consecutive ygars is- R. A. ! Thompson, '05. He will not return to college. He would not be_eligible in any case, as by the intercollegidte agreement with California, he dis- qualitied by four s of participation and because the last one was during | his post graduate cour: “Bull” Chalmers is in his junior year. It is not known definitely what his plans are. At one time it was rumored he would not return this would .ake up work in a miedical col lege. judging from authoritative sources he will be back for his degree. Stott will be here next term and will be @ great help to the team. Vande voort, the dashing lefthalf who was re- | sponsibie for one of the touchdowns of the day, is a sophomore and with his team mate, Dole '07, are fixtures for at least another game, 5 The line will suffer little change. On it there were besides Thompson: two other seniors, Frizzell and Lyons. Neither of these men is a candidate for graduation and look good for another | year. The t.ckles are Crawford and Horton, "09 anc '08 1 to pla: three years more. This is the team of men which en- tered the game first. Besides this num- ber thégee are two others, Stanford and Slushef They have both signified thelr intentifn to return. Addef to this forniidable lineup are the rurkors of the return of Smith and Butterifeld, two ends of the 04 team. Thus:it is an easy matter to account for t confident view with ‘which Stanford adherents look forward to the game Of 1906 on the California field, with Jimmie Lanagan as coach, Dad Moultcn as trainer and “Stanford spir- it” as a backbone. —_—— Elliott Defeats Devont.

Assoclation football, or: “socker,” as it is called in Great Britain to distthguish it from the Rugby Union game, is growing in the favor of Amerlcans. Fred L. i Milnes, the captain of the Pilgrim eleven, | which recently came to this country | from England, in company with Vivian | Woodward, .the strongest player of the team, visited Prestident Roosevelt and se- cured his approval of the game. The English team also played at Boston and €xplained the game to Dr. Eliot, the | president’of Harvard. Walter Camp, the well-known American writer on sports, says that there is room- both for inter- | collegiate and Associatip: football in the | United States. At Oxford and Cambridge, the sister universities of the British em- pire. both games_ are pleved, and a man | may represent his univhrsity in either | ame. ~ Fores - Many members of the' Veteran Crick- eters’ Assoclation 6f Philadelphia have | expressed their approval of thejr game and their pleasure at tne visif of the Pilgrims, who havel shown,-as never be- fore. in the. United States, the scientific i possibilities of the game and its great mertis as an athletic exercise. Quickness, speed and great endurance, both in wind and muscle, are ‘required.. The open character of the play, the ball being ai- ways in sight and motion, makes the game exceedingly interesting to the spec- tator. The Pilgrims showed a skill that stamped them as athletes of the highest class., The objectionable features of in- tercollegiate football arc almost wholly eliminated, mass plays s. impossible and serious injuries almost unheard of. A- foul is so instantly detcted by a quick réferee and so prompti- and severely penalized that -there Is § strong induce- ment to the,player to dvold them. The ball and net thé man ory the other team is played for, and quickness, 1. and agility count for much rore than weight and brute force. Tricky:play is scarcely possible. Inasmuch as ‘no substitute is permittéd. for a player ruled off*the field by the referee for foul charging, tripping or any other lense, u. team that sat- tempts to play a “dirty” game is ef- fectually punished by the reduction of its number. back, one halfback or one forward is hopelesely handicapped against an eleven of anything like equal strength, as it is | A team lacking one full-{ A AR PLAYERS WHO ARE PROMINENT AMONG THE ASSOCIATION THUSIASTS AND WHO BXPECT THE HEALTHFUL GAME TO ASSUME IN TIME THE PROPORTIONS OF THE INTERCOLLEGIATE STYLE OF PLATY. - ARE ARRANGED Tennis Cracks Will Be Kept “Busy These Days With WRIGHT AT BURLINGAME Champion of the United States Will Take Part .in Exhibition Doubles If the weather permits, there will be an abundance of tournament matches on the tennis courts this week's end. The boys of the Junior Club will com- pete to-day in a handicap singles tournament on the park courts. On the public courts to-morrow there will be commenced a handicap doubles event. The California Club cracks will meet in a class singles tournament on the club courts at Scott and Bush streets. Last but not least, Beals C. Wright, champion of the United States, will play at Burlingame in an exhibition doubles match. ‘Wright will not be at his best, as he has had no practice for some time, but his play will prove a revelation. Joseph S. Tobin, an ex-doubles cham- pion of the coast; will play with Wright. On the other side of the net will be Percy Murdock and Grant Smith. The latter will make a strong combination and will serve to bring out the cham- pion’s game. Wright is a left-handed player Who zombines speed with ac- curacy. He is always trying. Wright proved this year the greatest sensation in the history of American tennis. He held the doubles champion- ship with Ward and was sent to Eng- land to compete in the international doubles match for the Davis cup. He was to act as substitute in singles, but caused a genuine surprise by making a much better showing than any of the other Americans. Wright followed this up by réturning home and winning the singles championship of America quite easily. Ward, last year's cham- pion, was beaten In the challenge match in three straight sets. In the first two sets Wright outclassed his opponent and only in the third set was he pressed at all. The tournament to-day will probably add another to Morris McLoughlin's long string of victories. He has won both tournaments of the kind held in ehe past and will score his third and final win of. the cup to-day. He out- classes the other boys in the club and in future should play in the men's tournaments. The handicap doubles tournament will bring together all of the teams of the park -and if the handicaps are ad- justed properly there will be some in- teresting matches. The most heavily handicapped teams will be the Baker FOOTBALL EN- weak at some point, to which the other side directs its attack. 5 It iS not at all necessary that the in- tercoliegiate game should be sacrificed if the association.game is adopted. Many athletic men of great quickness, skill and stamina, but lacking the weight nec- eskary in the intercollegiate g , will be glad to adopt an exercise at. which they are fitted to excel. The game affords opportunities for brilliant individual work, but depends mainly on. the per- fection of combination. It was expected that a match of Asso- clation football would be played this afternoon between the Oakland Hornets; and the newly organized Association foot- ball team of the University of Califor- nia, the first of its ‘kind that Berkeley has had. test has been postponed to a later day to be agreed upon. 'l'h;' officials of the California Assocfation Football Union de- sire the players from the university to register as amateurs under the rules of the union, but the undergraduates are not ready to do this. A compromise will be effected and soon. 8 —_—————————— . Attacks Saloon-Keeéper With Knife. Lawrance P.

Their Tournament Play] During the Past Fortnight | i PROMISING* YOUNG DOGS Owners New to the Pacific Coast Will Be Represented in Stakes This Winter The greyhound kennels of the coast have been strongly reinforced recently by the arrival of dogs from Kansas and from Montana. The string of dogs owned by D. K. Cartter of Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, arrived some days since in charge of Trainer Arthur Hynes. There are twelve in all. The older divislon consists of Lord Sefton, winner of the Waterloo Cup, and Patched Up and Mavis Clalr, which di- vided the John Burke cup. Bartagis and Great Northern divided the Mississippl Valley Futurity. The puppies new to this coast are Kee- ley’s Malt by Tiburon-Colonial Girl, and a litter by imported Bushman-Miss Alice. The youngsters are named: Keeley's Malt, Split a Bottle, Look at the Clock, Hudson’s Rye, Close Shave, Affection and Loose Character. Frank Essham of Denver, editor of The Greyhound, has sent Foot's Easy and Fire Echo, which are by Fire Eater- Kentucky Girl. G. H. Macdougall of Denver is repre- sented by Cranberry Sauce and Wild Turkey and by three pupples. These are Coboconkeand Smoky Hill by Barton Tag-Grace Conroy, and Renfrew, by Lethbridge-Bessi€' Conroy. R Hoffman of Enterprise, Kansas, the secretary of the American Coursing Board, is represented by Fast Mail's Brother, a black dog by Barton Tag- Grace Conroy. Mrs. Newton Bennington, wife of the well known Eastern turfman, was a prominent figure at the recent coursing meet at Kansas. She had a number of greyhounds entered which she handled with the assistance of her maid. She would not let any of the professional trainers render her any assistance. Her entries were all handsome dogs, but they were more of tlhe bench show type rath- er than of the running type. She was unfortunate in having her dogs meet some of the fastest in the running. Mrs. Bennirgton announced that she would have a strong string in the running next year. The meeting attracted an attend- ance of 10,000 spectators. The John Grace cup will be run at Union Park under tHe auspices of the Interstate Coursing Club on December 2 and 3. The draw will be held on Wed- ON THE LINKS Handicap Mixed Foursomes to Be Played at Turlin- game Country Club To-Day SILVER CUPS OFFERED Tourney Over Same Course Sunday Is Open to Mem- bers of All Golf Clubs Beginning at 10 o'clock this morn- ing, or as soon thereafter as may be found convenient, mixed foursomes, with handicap, will be played cn the links of the Burlingame Country Club. Players may enter in couples and any who may not have partners will be paired at the clubhouse. The play will | be over eighteen holes, medal score, and the winning couple will receive a | pair of two-handled silver cups, pre- lllen(ed by Mrs. Henry T. Scott. There will be a handicap over the me course to-morrow, beginning af- ter the arrival of the 9 a. m. train from San Francisco. This will be open to members of any golf club. It was at first inténded that the play should be over eighteen holes, but in order to furnish the visiting golfers with oecu- { pation throughout the day, it has been decided to make the contest a thirty- six-hole one, eighteen holes being played in the morning and eighteen in the afternoon. The player who hands in the ‘best net score, medal play, will receive a handsome silver-mounted blackjack, presented by C. O. Hooker. The sixth tournament of the Cali- fornia Women Golfers’ Association on the Burlingame links on Wednesday was the last of the first series and also the last that will be held by the asso- clation during the present year. Wherever golfers are gathered nowadays remarks are heard upon the greatly increased Interest man- ifested In the game. For the re- _vival of enthusiasm among the women the California Women's Golf Assocla- tion is almost wholly responsible. Among the men the acquisition of the new course at Ingleside has done much. Though good work has been accom- | plished on the Ingleside course, the fair green is still soft, the soll being of a light and sandy sort. Golfers are awaiting eagerly the first heavy rains, which will tend to compact the course. After a wet season or two, it is the general opinion among golfers that no course on the Pacific Coast will be so interesting and conducive to good golf.

Much enthusiasm is being shown among the mémbers of the Dolphin Swimming and Boat- ing Club with regand to the four-oared barge races soon to be held. More than thirty oars- men have declared their intention of enter- ing thelr names. After all the entries been received from four to six stroke-oars will be selected by the captain and licutenant captain. The strokes will them select their crews by lot in such a manner as to make the crews as equal in strength as possible. In or- der to prevent one¢ crew from obtaining an advantage over another by assiduous training it will be 1aid down that no crew shall go out for vractice more than three or four times a week for the two weeks preceding the races. The races will be rowed on some Sunday in December, the members of the winning crew Tecelving ‘trophies Dresented by the club. On the same day as the barge races there sented by A.

In the first contest, held last month, James Thurman proved the winner. : The contestants next month will be Oscar Mohr and Willlam Remensperger, the winner to row against James Thurman. If Thurman should win, the gold medal will become his property. It one of the others should win the final heat the of the medal will remain un- decided until similar races are held next year.

STEPHENS SHIS MALS CO FIST The article that appeared in The Call of yesterday morning relative to pestal matters in San Franeisco has stirred | up some of the officials of the Postot- | fice Department. This is particularly true of that portion relating to the raflway ~ mail servi Superintendent | A. H. Stephens of the rallway mall | service makes the following statement: | The article does a great injustice to my serv- {lce. It has been demonstrated that, with a ! little improvement, which is now in contem- plation, the transportation facilities of San Frencisco will be all that can be desired. We have not yet provided for a dispatch from the ferry to the postoffice between the hours of 2:45 and 5:15 a. m., but this matter s pend- “In! ard doubtless action will be taken within a short On only two occasions during the last thirty- two days have the mails from Southern Paci train No. 1, which brings a large quantity mall for San Francisco, arrived at the ferry too late for connection to the last car, leaving under the present authorized schedule at 12:4) a. m. On ole of these occasions the boat carry- ing the mail arrived at 4:28 a. m., and on the other occasion at 3:12 a. m. In each instance the mai arrived at the postoffice at 5:24 a. m. It would hardly be practicable to deliver by wagon before 5:24 a. m. mails arriving at 4:28 a. m., as it would be necessary for a team to go from the barn to the depat. and the malls to be loaded and carried to Seventh and Mission streets. With emergency arrangements for wagon service, the mall arriving on the one occasfon at 3:12 a. m. could probably have been advanced in delivery at the postoffice by que hour cr a lttle more. During the twelve days Drior to the pub- lication of the article train No. 1 has arrived at the ferry in time for deiivery of the mail at the postoffice on the evening of arrival. On no occasion since the main distributing force was removed from Ferry station to the new postoffice building bas any mail for Menlo Park, San Mateo, Redwood City, Sausalito, San Rafael, San Jose, or any other place, been delayed on account of the change in the manner of handling the malls.
