sity the team came up early yesterday morn
ing and captured the Pleasanton.
Seventeen Palo Alto men sat down to
dinner here last night, but the doughty
eleven who are 10 do battle to-day Jared
simply as usual.
Two o'clock yesterday afternoon found
the team out at the Haight-street grounds
picking out the soft spots TO fall on. They
found very few, as in many places the
ground Is hard enough to crack the skull
that comes down on it from hard tackle.
Later In the afternoon, when the Berkeley
eleven came out to listen to Meetings. final
orders, the spots where the turf is worn off
were sOftened up by sprinklng.
No visitors were permitted to watch the
plays of the boys in red. and even the usual
small boy was ordered from the field.
The same secrecy characterized the move
ments Of the men all the morning, and when
they hied themselves very quietly to tie big
hotel on Suffer street few visitors could
reach them.
Captain Clemens looked very weary from
his days work just before the dinner-hour,
but his face lighted up when he talked of
the form of his men.
They will play in the following positions
to-day:
Center, Barnhisel; left guard, Briggs; right
guard, T. NJ. Downing; left tackle, Cochran ;
right tackle, Rich; left end, Frankenheimer:
right END Wilson; left hsf-back Clemens cap

Look out for Kennedy to-day. He is
playing in great form. and when he kicks
the ball Oscar Taylor will have to use a
long. strong punt to return 1t. But the Palo
Alto boys will not resort to Kicking much,
except when cornered for third run. They

GAELICS WANT A Go.

Those who have visited Golden Gate Park
during the year while the Sunday games of
the Gaelic Football Association were In
progress have noticed how deeply engrossed
the spectators were in the contests As
many as 700o people of an afternoon have
watched the games in Golden Gate Park
from start to finish. and this is on indica-
ton Of how the interest of the public has
been gradually awakened in football.
The Gaelic Association players, not con-
tent with contesting among themselves,
which they have previously done i'm Golden
Gate Park, admission being free, have de-
termiped 10 branch out little and see If
they are not ft competitors for the great
college teams. The Gaelic men play foot
bail simply for the love and excitement of
the sport. and that is why they have never
played where admission would be charged
They want spirited contests, and that Is
why they are DESTROYS of arranging matches
with other teams.
Already a movement has been started
toward this end. To-day. before the great
collegiate game between the teams of
the Palo Alto and Berkeley Universities
shall have met, committee from the Gaelic
Association will wait on Thomas Lee
McClnpR and Walter Camp. the managers
and coachers of the two university teams,
10 order to see If arrangements cannot be
made for series of contests between the
two teams Of the Gaelic Association and
those Of the universities. Tie committee
will consist Of ex-Assessor j. c. Nealon.
Captain r. c. O'Connor and John Purcell.
Every iDducement will be offered to ar
range the proposed matches. The Gaelic
men say they do not wish 10 make money
out of the sport, but are willing that the
proceeds of the games shall 60 to any or
ph ian asylum or charitable institution that
may be named.
One point the Gaelic committee will insist
upon, and that Is that the games shall take
place according to the rules of the Gaelic
association. " hich are materially different
from those to which the American colIegi-
ate teams are accustomed to play. The
Gaelic rules are less complicated, and being
more simple the Gaelic men claim their
rules should govern as they are very easily
learned, especially by expert football play
ers.

anything about the game they always refer

Last night the team attended the Metro
poiitan Temple In body to listen to James
Whitcomb Riley.
After the game to-day the Headquarters
OF the team will be in the Palace Hotel
and 1t is possible the coach may start from
there to-day.
The Baldwin coach will carry the sturdy
wearers OF the canvas jacket, with poofily
array Of horns and bunting as an accom-
paniment.
The streetcar and railroad companies have
made every possible arrangement TO meet
the heavy passenger traffic to the football
grounds.

said Wendell EastOn yesterday. "Tha ears
will commence running at il A. NJ, at close
intervals, and bunch at this end during tn e
morning, doing the same thing at the other
end IN the evening, so that passengers may
get seats while they wait their turn to start"
The Market-street Cable Railroad Com
pany is equally prepared.
I'VE have 1000 passengers to meet with
tie Nalencia-street cars on the 9 40 special
trains from Pa,o Alto and San JOSE" said
Assistant Superintendent Jess0p.
"These will mostly consist of the univer-
sity team and their friends, and the rush
will be for the Palace Hotel and lunch.
AT IL: 80 o'clock p. NJ we will commence
running our Haight-Street cars under a two
minute Roadway, which means a car to
every one and half blocks.
1.-THE McAllisteT-street cars will CON-
mence running at the same time on three
minute Roadway, and the Hayes-street line
will run every four minutes. We can carry
40 passengers to a car, which Will dispose
OF the multitudes."
"The Haight-street line is the favorite
line TO the bail grounds" said Assistant
Secretary G. b. Willcutt.
More passengers would take that line
than the Hayes or McAllister We fare
prepared for that emergency, however and
VIII be ready TO immediately put on extra
cars to meet the call and will run cars every
minute if required. That is a matter very
easily arranged on our system. We merely
switch off cars from our other street sys-
TEN and hang Haight-street sign over the
side for the time being"
Down at Fourth and Townsend streets
the authorities have made complete az
engagements for the exigencies of the day.
A special train of twelve to fifteen coaches
will draw up at the PaiO Alto siding at
$3.50 A. NJ, whem it will remain for three
hours undergoing the process OF elaborate

been 10 to 6. with Berkeley as favorlte,
took sudden fall and considerable money
was wagered In even bets. The reason of
the change in the betting was that it
became known that the Berkeley team,
which was supposed TO be so much heavier
than that of Stanford, averaged only two
pounds more to each man.
The Berkeley adherents are not at all
sure Of victory. They had too hard set
back last year to show any over-c0nfidence.
The general impression seems 10 be among
them that If the State University men get
the ball on the tossup they will make
q touchdown without losing it.
1t is in its defensive work that the Berke-
ley team is weak. but it is not alone in this
misfortune, for the Stanford team has the
same trouble.
For this reason each side is anxious to be
the lucky one when the coin is tossed.
How the start at the earlier portion Of
the game will be made Is a question that
cannot be answered, but from the practice
games it can be seen what each team thinks
will be its opponents play.
Both sides have usually given the ball to
the second eleven at the beginning of each
practice game, but these scrub sides have
started off in very different ways. At
Palo Alto they ordinarily formed q wedge
and gave the regular eleven practice in
breaking IT, This goes to show that the
Stanford boys expect the University Of Cal
ifornia team to form the wedge il they OBJ.
tain the ball.
At Berkeley the second eleven CON-
menced practice by trying runs around the
ends. thus showing that it Is this play that
the team from across the bay will look for
should they be SO uDlucky as not to secure
the ball.
1t Is too bad that the teams have not had
coaehers long enough to train them so that
they could show the people the famous
Deland trick. or flying wedge. which was
used with so much success by Harvard
against Yale this year. This play is made
from running start. and this gives the
wedge considerable force to crush rough
the opposing line.
However. if the teams will give Callfor.

The above weights are official and look
light only because they were taken without

team be hurt they would be replaced by

the positions of tackle and guard.
During the game the best struggles for
supremacy will be between Burr and Coch-
ran and Frankenheimer and Henry.
Being all on the same side of the center
rushes these four men will keep their side
of the line very lively. Each one of these
men is good on the offensive, but lacks in
defensive qualities.
They are all aggressive players and the
runners will suffer hard falls when they
come near.
The center OF both teams is strong. Joe
Pierce and Barnheisel met last year and
were then very equally matched.
Archie Pierce and Briggs are put up so
differently that their style of play will be
very different. The Berkeley man is heavy
and slow. while Briggs is lighter and
therefore quicker. This will give Berkeley
the advantage in defensive, but will lessen
her offensive work.
Sherman has the advantage over Down.

man.
His tackling is al times high, but his
quickness and good judgment make up
for 1t.
Hunt, the captain and right halfback of
the Berkeley team, is the best all-around
player on the coast. His tackling is sure
and hard and bis interference gains many
yards for his team.
Walton is new man. but is said to be a
good tackler and speedy runner.
1t is uncertain what Morse will do for his
team. The Berkeley boys have an idea
that he will atone for his poor playing in
practice lately by making the brilliant plays
of the day.
