general shaking up, but particularly from
injured knees, SAID to-day that he would
come out again on Monday.
Hupp is much improved, and will follow
closely after Ransome.
Wlttenmeyer one of last years Varsity
tackles who has been practicng for the
past two weeks with hope of again max
ing the team, will probably be cut off en-
tirely from any further work this year on
account of having broken two carpal bones
in his right hand during practice game
this week.
To-day Coach Butterworth commenced
playing Captain Sherman, the star end, at
half Much speculation has been going on
among old football men as to whether
Sherman can get into proper form for half
back at this late stage Of the game, espe-
cially since he has always played end.
Wilson and Hutchinson have both been
doing great work at end, especially for the
past ten days, and since the halves are
weak just at present Butterworth will trv
to find out what eddie" can do behind
the line. Sherman's weight is against him
for half, he only tipping the beam at lao,
but his faculty of squirming through the
line may, to certain extent, counterbal-
ance that defect.
The result of the Stanford Olym pic
game this afternoon is looked upon in
Berkeley as of no little significance. since
the score made by the wearers of the car
dinal was 6 to their opponents 0. while
Berkeley scored 90 to the Olympics' O only
last Saturday.
Considering the fact that both uniyersi.
ties had a MAJ jority of their best men
pitted against the Olympics' best in their
respective games, and also that both of the
contesting teams to-day had one week
longer in which to prepare for their match,
the preponderance of favor now lies with
the Berkeley men, since accordingly it is
believed that the two college teams met
the Olympics under about equal condi-
tions.
Crescent Club Entertains.
The Crescent Athletic Clubs entertain
ment drew large crowd to Shattuck Hall
last evening. The programme was said
to have been the best yet rendered by the
organization. The Berkeley orchestra
played an overture, after which Attorney
W. H. Waste delivered an Introductory
address, in which he spoke of the value of
athletic training and of affiliation with a
good athletic club.
The first athletes to appear were Reed
and Kinne of the Crescent Club, who did
some clever work on the single horizontal
bar. They were followed by John Kitchen
of the Acme Club, who earned much ap-
plause by his club-swinging.
Messrs. McNally, Littlejohn, Leandro
and Cotton, all of the Acme Club, did
some acts on the leaping board, after
which vocal solo was rendered by Elmer
Reed. A boxing bout between Professor
Bean, instructor of the Crescents, and Jack
Kitchen of the Acme Club aroused much
interest. 1t was quick, clever bout and
was received with loud applause. Messrs.
Reed and kinne of the Crescent Club
scored success with the brother act''-
an act of tum bling, acrobatic feats, ETC.
They displayed great agility and were re-
warded by demand for an encore. Other
numbers on the programme were double
bar feats by Cotton and Leandro of the
Acme Club recitations by the Misses Will
Stagman and Toohy, Acme Club and for
the final act pyramids on ladder by the
Crescent Club.
At the close of the exercises the floor
was cleared for dancing.
Fight of Liquor Men.
The liquor men of Berkeley who were
arrested some time ago for selling their
goods contrary to the State law and town
ordinances are commencing to take siren
uous measures in their own defense.
Argument on the appeal OF George
Stricker's case to the Superior Court was
commenced in Judge Frick's derartm ent,
Oakland, this morning. Attorney Chap
man was counsel for Stricken, while j. M.
Whitworth and Town Attorney Hayne ap-
peared for the people.
Chapman opened the case. His points
were practically the same as those made
at Stricker's trial before Justice James, in
which he attacked the constitutionality OF
the Justices Court in Berkeley and the
legality of the ordinance. Chapman's ar
gument occupied the entire morning. At
torney Whilworth took up the defense of
the Justices Court and made a strong plea
in its behalf. Then Attorney Hayne de-
Tended the liquor ordinance. At the close
of his address Judge Frick gave each of
the contending parties five days in which
to file their briefs.
The case will probably not be decided
for two weeks. From indications it seemed
that the constitutionality of the Justices
Court in Berkeley would be upheld.

reared for himself when making SO mu-
njficant Gift
