this Afternoon If the snow is not deep

snow shoes. arrived yesterday adter-
noon. They are a fine looking lot of
young fellows. and while they are not
as big or heavy or as powerful a look
ing aggregation as the Reliance team.
they appear to be wen strained athletes
In perfect condition. and their manager
states THAT their appearance Is not at
all deceptive. AS usual, the Olympics
were sized ND and stared at by a big
crowd of football cranks in the Butte
hotel lobby after their arrival, but
they stood the scrutinizing process
good naturally and offered no objection
to exhibiting themselves for inspection
The Butte players called on them soon
after their arrival and soon established
themselves on q much more friendly
footing dihan they have sustained to-
wards amy other visiting team. The
smoke eaters entertain "a very high re-
gard for the OQympics. and as there Ii
no bal blood or dn ceeling of any kind
between them, bo-day's game will no
doubt be entirely free from dirty play
ing.
The visitors went oaIt to the grounds
ait 1 O'Clock and spent an hour In pri-
vate practice. On their return to the
hotel they STATED that ithe altdtude
about which the Reliance men COM
planned 50 freely. had not affected
them ITO any noticeable extent. Our
men are all In good condbuAon," aaad
Leonard Gill. manager of the Olympic
team. 10 "a Standard reporter last even
ing. land we have a good team. There
is no team in the West that has any IL
cense ITO give US a bad beating. We
may not win tomorrow, but We win
q L.
a Itoss-up as ITO which team wins. We
are weakened by the absence OF Percy
Morse. our left half back, but we have
Simpson with US. which partly makes
up for his loss. Simpson Is the best
man that Berkeley has ever turned
out. with the exception OF Hunt.
who was a wonder in his day. He
was to have played with Berkeley
against Stamford tomorrow, but was
barred out ON a tecamacahty as he had
not studied THE number of hours which
Is required under an agreement be-
tween the two universities concerning
the makeup of our teams. He has
trained right along with uhe Berkeley
team under their great coach, Butter
worth Pete Smith. our captain and
left guard, lis one of the best guards
ON the coast. Bob Porter. our full
back, played FUN back for Berkeley
hast year and is an odd Princeton man.
Like Smith he is a corker. Our men
are all old players, except Kingdom,
Middlemas. PedQar. Thierkrauf and
Sharrat."
In speaking of the Olympics' defeat
by Reliance on Saturday Mr.. Gin said:
I'VE were beaten simply Through fum-
bles. Outside of that we played as
good a game as Reliance and at the
end of the first half we were ahead of
them. 6 to 4. After that our backs
could not hold the bail and they beat
us simply on fumbles. You can say
for me-" he concluded, 'iuhat Berkeley
will beat Stamford tomorrow for the
first time. Berkeley has great team
this year."
To-day's game will commence
promptly ait O'Clock. The following
is the probable lineup of the teams:
Butte. Positions. Olympics
Hooper Center Kingdom
Perham Lent Guard. pete" smith
Weisse, Right Guard. Maddiemas
Slater. Left Tackle. SEXTON
Ellis. Right Tack Tackle. Simpson
King, Lett End. Olenburg
Richards, Quarter Back N'ahl
Brooks, Left Half Back. Thierkrauf
ellis, Right Hall Back. Pedlar
Uasswell. Full Back Porter
The average weight Of the Olympic
eleven is 166 pounds. and the average
weight of their line is 1S4 pounds
stripped. so that the Butte line has no
advantage as far as weight Is con-
cerned. Kingdom, the center. and Cap
tain Smith are both 190-pound men
stripped. Porter the full back, weighs
1874 pounds. Cameron and Porter. two
of their best men, did not come in with
the team yesterday. but they will az
rive over the Union Pacific at n:2o
he fraf In g
very late, they will be here in time for
the game. Cameron may possibly play
right end in place of Harrison. Should
they not arrive In time for the game.
Sharrat will play quarter back, Nahl
will go to left half and Thierkrauf to
fullback.
ellis and Lasswell both decided to
play yesterday. but it Is hardly believed
that they win be able to play the game
out. Captain Brooks, however, expects
to win the game In the first half. and IL
his expectations prove correct, Perham
may be given a chance to show his
prowess at line bucking in Lasswelrs
place. Smith going into the line. Should
the necessity present itself. Hartzell.
the new man from Denver, will take
ellis place. Mcmillan has not yet ar
rived. but is expected in to-day. He
will not play in to-day's game. how
ever.
