THE COLLEGE GAME.
The Stanford Team Has Gone to
Meet the Webfooters.

The Stanford football team was the first of
the eievens that figured upon going north this
winter TO play against the athletes of The large
cities to make starr for Portland, Or. As
Will be seen by the following special CORE
spOndence from Palo Alto, the college boys
an ticipate 1rst-class time:
Last Thursday afternoon the Stanford foot.
ball team, with manager and substitutes start
ed on one Of The longest trips ever attempted
by varsity team. The projected games at
Ia coma aud Seattle have not been given up, as
announced last week, This IL because the
management netted more money at tile Reli-
ance game than was anticipated, and as lack
OF funds was the only obstacle III the way pre-
vously. this is now happily removed and Pao
Alto athletes Will do battle for the cardinal
away up on the bleak Canadian border of The
State of Washington.
The first game viii be al Tacoma on Christ
mas day. The NIYieDda Athletic Cub of that
city will seek TO uphold the reputation of the
Northwest against the football players OF far
California. The score will form pretty good
basis from which TO forecast the other games.
Any estimate now would be mere conjecture
Tor nc northern eleven has ever played "A repre-
sentative California team, but there is not
man al Palo Alto who would not back the car
dinal With his last cent.
Some time during the week a game will be
played at Port Townsend with the athletic club
OF that place. AS football is yet In Its infancy
there, no very severe struggle is anticipated.
On New Years day the MultBOmaBs, the
champions Of the Northwest viii meet the

the three. HE muscle and weight OF The ath-
lelc team Will be opposed 10 The quickbeSs and
agility OF their lighter antagonists. the college
boys. Many old Yale ana other Eastern col
lege players are on the former eleven, and they
will surely play great football And yet, any
one who has witnessed the games this season,
particularly the last Reliance Stanford game
must feel That the advantage, after all, is with
the college team.
The Stanford eleven contains most Of the
veterans OF the season and is as follows: Ken
Dedy. fullback: Walton and Harrelson right
and left balfbacks; Code. quarter; T. Down
ing. center; Macmillan. LETT guard; Burnett
right guard; Hall, left tackle; Whtehouse

right end. The substitutes are Mackay, Rutan
LeadbelIer, Lewis and Spaudng Franken-
heimer was unable 10 90 and HARRISON, By
brilliant work In The Reliance game, has won
himself the position. Lewis is substitute half
back and will b. called upon In case OF acct
dent to either HARRISON or Walton. On the
whole the team is perhaps as strong as IL was
Thanksgiving day, bur az little If any training
has been done since the condition of the men Is
nor as good
The playing OF both Reynolds and HARRISON
a week ago yesterday was surprise 10 all.
Reynolds, for his first game, did remarkably
well. tackled IN good style and gained ground
when sent with the ball. Hanelson's work
was lille short OF phenomenal, and showed
