The following communication from the
Leland Stanford Jr. University on general
athletics is self-expanatory:
The footballers have shown their appre-
citation of Guy Cochran's fine work in last
Thanksgiving game by making him cap
tain of the team for next season. Last
evening those eighteen men who had
PLAYED in any match game this season
met at Z O'Clock and elected Cochran unan-
imously. One or two other candidates
were in the field up 10 the day before,
prominently among whom was AL Spald-
ing, Stanford's clever end; but they all
Withdrew in favor of Cochran, who is ex-
tremely popular here and has fine record
as good, steady player, firsi-class stu
dent and a representative Stanford man.
Guy Cochran was born in Farmer City.
Ill, September 4, 1873 He first played
toms preparatory school. Cochran entered
Stanford with the '96 class and is taking
English as bis major study. He has cap
tanned his class team during the past
season and the showing 1t put up was ex-
celIent.
Guy Cochran is now resident of Los
Angeles, and well deserves the honor and
confidence placed in him by making him
captain of the team.
Football excitement, which underwent a
relapse after the Thanksgiving game. is
reviving again, now that it is certain Stan
ford will meet the university of Chicago.
This big game will be played In San Fran
cisco on Christmas day and the boys will
at once go into practice again. Another
game between the two teams will pro baby
be played in Los Angeles some time be-
tween Christmas and New Years.
Ten carloads of cuders for the new
track arrived yesterday and will be used
Immediately. The track is rapidly being
put into shape and Will be when completed
one of the finest on the coast.
