Charles A. Thomas, '97, will doubtless

strong aggregation. With Butterworth
for coach Stanford feels that her rivals
have had the best drilling they have ever
had, and, furthermore, there have been
less unfortunate, untimely accidents to
players at Berkeley than at this insttu-
ton.
On the other hand there is an unbounded
feeling of confidence in Camp and in the
Stanford men, who are all game. There is
recollection of football prestige in the
past which will make the wearers of the
cardinal fight to the last moment. If
Berkeley wins it will be only after hot
struggle, and there are plenty of STAN
fordites who assert that Berkeley will
again be beaten. The fact that Franken-
heimer was again injured in practice

The Court Says the Murderer Should
Be Glad That He Can Live

MARYSVILLE. CAL, Nov. 26-Jack
Brady, convicted of the murder of Sheriff
Bogard, received his sentence of life i'm
prisonment to-day with the same COM
posure he exhibited throughout the trial.
Brady's attorneys made but one request in
his behalf-that the bandit be permitted to
choose San Quentin as his future home.
Judge Davis demanded of Brady his
reasons for preferring San Quentin to Fol-
SOM. Brady stood up and in a low voice
that showed the depth of his suppressed
feelings replied that from what he had
heard San Quentin was healthier place.
The Judge answered that he had antici-
pated the request and given the matter
careful consideration. For certain reasons,
which he preferred not to mention, he
would be obliged to refuse. Sentence of
life i'm prisonment at Folsom was then
pronounced.
After Brady had left the courtroom in
charge OF the officers, Judge Davis gave his
reasons for refusing to commit the prisoner
to San Quentin.
First" he said, che belongs to the
worst criminal class, and is one of the most
desperate OF his class; second, l am in
formed that Folsom prison is conoidered
q more safe and secure place Of confine-
ment than San Quentin, partially by reason
of its location, and that Sontag and Evans,
who belong 70 the same criminal class as
the defendant are sent there for that
reason; third, am informed that the de-
fendant has served a term in San Quentin,
and for that reason 1 think 1t better that
he should not be returned there; fourth,

He bucks and punts well, but is a poor

Jackson Reynolds. '96. is an Illinois boy

His strong points are his line-smashing

His major study is law.
Julius Frankenheimer, &c. the left half,

Oregon. He is q years old, weighs 14S

He has played halfback with great success
on his class team. Jeffs is hard worker
and a wonderfully swift runner. He
tackles low and hard and shows a knack
for getting in and interfering for the run

punt and a tendency to get drawn in by
the opposing line.

SLAIN ON A LODI RANCH.
The Body of a Murdered Man
Found Hidden in the
Brush.
While Still Conscious He Had Been
Left to Die Beneath a Mass of
Grass and Leaves.

LODI, CAL, Nov. 26.-The body of a
man believed to be Peter Soderberg was
found this morning on the ranch of N. A.
knight, two miles north of here. Every
thing indicates that the man had been
murdered and robbed.
Knight discovered blood on straw on
his farm, and upon investigation found a
straw hat with blood on it and roll of
blankets, inside of which was a sailor s
bag. The receptacle contained letters ad-
dressed to P. A. Soderberg in Danish, a
certificate of deposit in the Polk County
Bank at Thief River Falls. Mimi, dated
Decembe 10, 1894, for $50, in favor of P A.
Soderberg, and other small trlnkets. A
slip of paper contained the name OF II. P.
Iverson, Littlefeld, Arizona.
Mr.. knight came to Lodi and party
was organized to search for the body as it
was apparent that murder had been done.
In short time corpse was found in the
brush on the Mokelume River bank, a
hundred yards from the strawstack. There
was hole in the skull over the right eye,
made by blunt instrument. The flesh
was gone from the face and hands, but the
rest of the body was state of fair preserv-
alton although it was evident that the man
had been dead nearly month.
Sheriff Cunningham and Coroner Clark
arrived and an inquest was held. The Coro-
ner's jury found no clew.
Soderberg was Dane, about feet
and s inches in height and of light
complexion. He wore overalls and jumper
and black double breasted vest. He had
apparently been murdered when he was
asleep in the blanket and his body carried
to the river bottom and hid in the brush.
1t is evident that he recovered conscious
ness after being taken to the brush, for he
had attempted to remove with his foot the
covering of grass and leaves the murderer
had heaped upon him.

Charles Dole was born in Honolulu and

Dole is feet II inches tall and brings

round athlete of the Young Mems
Christian Association in this State. Dole
played his first football last year and was
made substitute on the team. He is
very speedy player and keeps his head in
hot game At backing up the line he is
as strong as any back except Franken-

HESPERIA'S LACK OF TALESMEN.

A Condition That Leads to the Abolish
naent of the Township.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. 90
AS a result of the water trouble at Hespe-
ria between the settlers and the water
company. new feature has come to light.
TIE Supervisors will probably abolish
Hesperla Township, as it is impossible to
secure jurymen enough in case in the
township should the defendant exercise his
peremptory challenges.
This was verified last week when settler
was arrested by the water company. He
demanded full jury trial. The constable
got every voter in the township to the
number of seventeen and on the trial
twelve were disqualified. Consequently
the case was dismissed, and for this reason
R. G. Cook was arrested on Friday by a
warrant sworn to in Ontario on the advice
of the District Attorney. The Board of
Supervisors will at once abolish Hesperia
Township and combine it with neighbour
ing township.

too much for their studies. With the
spectators l don't think this is the case, !"
added the president of the university,
laughing.
The boys did not get down to business
soon enough this year, and a number of
unforeseen difficulties have arisen that
may have a detrimental effect upon the
teams play. l hope, however, to see
our boys win."
Walter Camp is very non-communica-
tive on the probable outcome of the game.
AS word of advice to the players he
said:
duty and to go in to win. If the men
play as hard as men of their weight and
strength should play every inch of ground
will be contested and the exhibition will
be highly interesting. About the result
no one can tell"
Speaking of his coaching, Camp said:
ave done all l could for the men, but
have had no great amount of available
material to choose from. Injury to three
of the halfback candidates early in their
training, and no other men to draw into
their places, has made it rather difficult to
get backs. Frankenheimer' recent injury
also did its share in Gripping us; but 1t is
the business of coach to be prepared for
such emergencies and to have men on
hand to take their places, SO / don't believe
in complaining of our hard lot in that
respect.
II would never have come out West,
however, to coach just few men for a
single years game. What l wish to do is
to prepare the way for good football in
future years. With the proper university
spirit, the noble game has great future
on this coast, but it must be kept free from

sional baseball"
Regarding the lineup, Camp remarked
that the captain wonld probably announce
it the day preceding the game. With
Eastern colleges, the names of men who
have made the elevens were seldom an
nounced before the game, on the SUPPOSE
ton that they would work harder where
they were uncertain of their places.
A few facts concerning the men who
will support Stanford's colors may be of
interest, for while the team is not made
known yet it is pretty generally under
stood who the Varsity men and substi-
tutes will be.

Cochran is nearly six feet tall, weighs 172
pounds and is very active. He learned
football at the Lawrenceville Academy
preparatory school for Princeton), where
he PLAYED left tackle. For three years past
he has occupied that position on Stanford s
team. His career of study at the uni
versity is English literature, and he ranks
as one OF the best students in college,
Cochran's fine showing last year in the
game against Berkeley made him an easy
iavorite for captain. This is his last year
at college, and his long experience at the
game makes him an invaluable man. He
