The Reliance and Stanford eievens will line up
for their second game OF the series on Saturday
at the Haight- street grounds, and it Is the gen.
erai belief that this will be the most exciting
and interesting game played so far this year, as
the teams have had the advantage of daily
practice and coaching since they made their
first appearance OH the gridirOn.
The Reliance team should certainly give an
excellent account OF itself. as it has had the
a dvantage OF practice under the light of cleo
tricity after working hours.
The makeup OF the eleven will be little
different from last Saturday. Nj. Oliver will
play tackle and Racine will retire TO his old
position OF end.
IL goes without saying that the Reliance
boys have surprised their opponents this year
and IL they Will only continue their daily prac.
tice and keep 10 with the times in learning
new moves there can be no reason to doubt the
success OF the team when the seasons games
draw 10 close. The game of Saturday Will be
PLAYED rain or shine, and the following players
will wear the colOrs of the Reliance Club: NJ.
guards; Whitehouse and Oliver. tackles; Sher-
rard and Racine. ends; Whitney, quarter;
Frick. Walton and WyckOff backs. The bet
ting on the result Is about even.
On Sunday next the California Football
League Will open ITS season OF schedule games
at Central Park The grounds have been i'm.
proved and wdened, and low fence Is now in
course of erection around the ball field.
The opening game will BE- between the San
Franchises and Oaklands-fifieen PLAYERS each
and much interest is being taken In the
chances Of the local team.
BY many IL Is expected that the home team
Will hold Its own with the formidable Oakland
ers; others are not so confident, saying that
though the San Franciscos may consist of the
best individual players, they are pitled against
\ well.organiZed and we'll practIced lot of kick
ers. whose team work is excellent.
Mc1nerney, the captain OF The locals, intends
placing his men where they Will do most good
IN defensive game, consequently hi. line of
def ense. which includes the full and half backs,
Will be his strongest point. He has placed
himself, Duane and Desmond with O'keeffe
and Dolly on this line and eX poets that, though
they may not succeed In altogether stopping
the charge, they will weaken cODsiderabl the
usual splendid PUSHES of the powerful Oakland
forwards-Grant, Barry and Ryan.
In the centre McInerney has some good
men, who may be depended upon to keep the
ball rolling at very lively rate, but the un-
avoidable absence OF Sloman and Robertson
from the forward end makes il imperative that
the bono Team should play defensive game.
This plan is all the more necessary for the
local team 10 adopt In the first few games IL
will play as the Oakland defense line has been
greatly strengthened by the addition OF p Des-
moDd and Kennedy. The team NAV be a little
weak In the center but II is exceptionally strong
In the forwards, where kearney, Barry. Spillane
and Grant are expected 10 make things lively
and interesting for the defense line of the on
posing team. Most OF the scoring will probably
be done by Barry aud Spiilane for the Oakla 8
and by Hdnnlgan and McInerny for the San
FranciscO'S
