BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 30-The quota
of football men now in practice at the Uni
versity of California had to-day three valu-
able additions in the way of heavy-weights
who are built for the center or guard.
They are Foltz, U. c., '94 and Deahl and
Wallthall, from the law department.
Foltz, it will be remembered, was sub
center to Archie Pierce in "a, and would
doubtless have taken that place on the
varsity eleven had Pierce been unable to
play. Deahl, who weighs in at 100 pounds,
will try for guard, and is said to be very
promising man, having had some previous
experience on the gridiron.
Wallthal tips the balances at 200 pounds
and will try for center first ard then prac-
tice for guard if not found suitable to the
requirements OF center.
Plunkett, '94's big guard, and Wilson,
right end, appeared for practice this after
noon for the first time during the season.
They expect to be out regularly from
now on.
Thus far only rudimentary work, such
as kicking, starting and falling on the ball,
has been ordered by Coach Butterworth
but it is understood that the team will
line up for the first time on Thursday and
Friday.
A practice game between a team to be
picked from Berkeley's forty-five PLAYERS
and the Reliance eleven will take place on
the University of California grounds next
Saturday afternoon, in which short, prob
ably ten-minute, halves will be played.
Pacific Coast Championships.
Thus far no entries have: been made
under the U. G. colors for the Pacific Coast
championships, which are to be held next
Saturday, the 9Th inst, on the Berkeley
oval. This seems to be due to the fact that
so many of the university athletes are not
in training, and to enter onlya small part
of team would mean an almost certain
defeat. In consequence, those who have
signihed their purpose OF coming out will
do so under the colors OF other athletic
clubs. Dorm will appear with the Olym-
pics and Edgren and Hilborn with the
Reliance men. Torrey and Chick, the two
remaining men who are in training, have
not as yet decided whether they will enter.
The entries will be open until Thursday,
and during the intervening time some
more U. G. men may file their blanks, but
the present conditions point to the oppo-
site.
Sophomores Will Give a Hop.
The sophomores held a meeting this
afternoon and decided to hold their annual
party on the evening of Friday, October
25, in Harmon gymnasium. f. w. Grim
wood of Fruitvale was elected floor man.

Thieves in the Gymnasium.
Petty sneak thieves are again at work in
the university gymnasium. Every year
the same trouble arises, and students lose
property of all kinds, from towels to gold
watches, without the least claw to the
offenders. On last Saturday a member of
the class of '98 lost an entire suit of clothes.
even his hat and shoes, and this morning
a gold watch was taken from the locker OF
a 1913 man.

indignant over the matter, and has sue-
gested that those taking gymnasium work.

Bogus Coin Circulating.
The railroad ticket-sellers and some of
the merchants of Berkeley have been VIC
timized within the past few days by per-
sons passing counterfeit money. A trick
