in the East-The Texas Re-
gatta.

On Saturday afternoon the Reliance
football team will try conclusions at
Haight street with the Berkeley eleven.
This match is creating a great deal of in
terest in football circles, owing to the
teams being considered on an equality. so
far as their playing is concerned. 1t is
hoped that to-morrow'S game VIII result in
anything else but tie
Walter Camp, the famous coach, who is
now instructing the Stanford team, was
not disguised, as many people had sur
missed, over the beating the college boys
received from the Reliance athletes. When
asked what he thought of the game and
the playing of the students he said that
had it not been for the fact that the boys
lost courage in the last half the result
would not have been so damaging to Stan
ford. He thought that the ends were too
slow in getting down the field under
kicks; that the tackliug was not low
enough and the defensive play, though
yet very weak. Mr.. Camp sees lots of
room for improvement in the team and
also plenty of hard work for the boys.
