Berkeley has backed out of it's game
with Butte. which was scheduled to
come off at Los Angeles on New Years
day In preference to taking big chances
on defeat. This has made a change in
Butte's programme for their coast

les. They will play Reliance on Dec.

game at San Francisco with Stanford
for the 2Sth, with strong hopes of sue

Is the only construction that can be
placed on Berkeley's back down. Some
time ago. H. II. Lang, the manager of
the Berkeley team, wrote to Manager
McStay of the Los Angeles Athletic
club, offering him two dates, Dec rs
and Jan. 1. McStay arranged for the
University of Texas to play Berkeley
on the 2Sth and Butte on New Years
day. Berkeley also telegraphed Man
ager Stivers several times asking for a
game at Los Angeles about the first of
the year. and although their offer, from
financial standpoint, was not entirely
satisfactory, 1T was accepted. Yester-
day Manager Lang telegraphed that he
was compelled to annul the arrange
ment, as the college faculty refused to
allow the team to play Butte. This ex-
cuse is regarded by all the members of
the Butte team, however, as being only
subterfuge. The Berkeley team does
not confine itself exclusively to games
with other colleges, as ii would now
have people to believe. They have
played Reliance and Olympic and other
athletic clubs, but the truth of the
matter is that they are afraid of Butte

people out there cannot understand
how mining camp can support a team
that can win by playing football alone
and they think we must be a lot of
sluggers. We will show them that
they are mistaken"
Jim Hooper missed TUESDAYS train
at st. Paul, and did not arrive yester-
day morning, in consequence of which
there was a great deal of disappoint-
ment, both in and outside of the team.
In order to relieve the general depres-
sion and anxiety, City Ticket Agent
Mccormick of the Northern Pacific.
telegraphed the conductor of the
westbound train. last evening, inquir-
ing II handsome young giant with
auburn hair and a football look in his
eye was on the train with a ticket for
Butte. The conductor wired back that
ne had a passenger for Butte answer
ing that description. and Big Jim will
positively put in his appearance this
morning. His reception will be In the
nature OF an ovation.
Captain Brooks is practicing regu-

and he will fill that place most of the
time during the coast trip. There has
been a great improvement in team
work since he went TO ouarfer ana he
finds that he can captain the team
much better from that position and
that the play is faster. No disparage-
ment is intended. however, of Rich

earnest and clever player and he is in
the game all the time. Brooks will
occasionally drop back to his old posi-
