AMATEUR FOOTBALL.
Some Points About the Members OF IL,
Olive Team.

Olive Team.
The Olive football team has been in
organization for over year and is COM
posed of number OF very nice young
men. The majority OF them have
played together since it's organization,
and they are now able to put up a fair
game OF football.
The recent game between the Stan
/ ford and Athletic club teams has given
impetus to the game in this city, and
the Olive team has doubtless profited by
watching the play of the Stanfords.
The style of play of the Palo Alto men
can well serve as model to ambitious
young football players. The personnel
of the Olive team is about as follows:
George Wright, the right half back, is
one OF the star players of the team, and
was also one of the substitutes of the
Athletic team. He is sure tackler and
makes great runs around the ends, and
is also one of the best interferers in the
team. He was full back in the team
last year. and played end rush the first
part of this season.
Merle Manning, the left half back, was
| formerly prominent in the game, but
| dropped out for short time. Recently
he has taken it up again, and is better
| player than before. He is strong at
bucking the line, and runs we'll with
interference, and is sure tackler.
| George Spence is new man, this be-
| ing his first year as foot ballist. He
/ is good kicker, runs around the ends
well, is fair at interference, and seldom
let's man get by him. He plays full
back.
Don Frick is the captain, and plays
quarter back; passes we'll; is sure
tackler, and generally gains wherever he
runs with the ball; played the present
position last year.
Ed Winston is the fastest end on the
team. He tackles hard and sure, and
can be depended upon to make gains
when needed; was of the guards last
year also half back part of the time.
Harry Heffner, the left tackle, is q
sure tackler, and bucks the line we'll !;
runs low and hard, although not very
fast.
Joe Patrick, left guard, played with
the Athletic men in the Stanford game.
He will probably show to some advan-
tage in the games the present team will
play.
George McKeeby, the center is the
heaviest man in the team. He ia
good blocker but is very slow on his
feet; works we'll with the present quar-
terback.
Louis Lockhart, right guard, blocks
well, is very slow at the start and is a
bad tackler. He does not work we'll
with the team.
Sam Polkey, right tackle, is very fast
on his feet, tackles hard and sure and is
fond of bucking the line.
Charley Wright, right end, is sure
tackler and good inter!erer, but is none
too fast. This is his first year at the
game and he is playing well.
Walter Mcintosh, substitute quarter,
is sure tackler, but is too light for the
regular team. Is good at passing, and
plays with vim.
Willie Stephens, substitute end, seems
to lack the abandon necessary to make
brilliant player.
Tom McCrea, substitute guard, is bet
ter known as a baseball player, this
being his first year chasing the pig skin.
With more ineight Of the game he will
probably be. placed on the regular team.
