ATHLETICS At W00DsIDE.
The Varsity Eleven in Hard Training
for the Great Match on Thanks.
giving Day.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nov.
23.-Athletic life seems dull IN the campus
now that the football men are at work IN
the hills. The daily routine OF the player
at Woodside is not one OF ease by any
means He must be up at O'Clock
for breakfast Work on the field
begins about o'clock and lasts good
share of the morning. Signal practice
takes place and Camp explains the various
plavs which the men are to use for Berke-
lev's surp rise on Thanksgiving day. The
work lasts until nearly noon, for several OF
the players having little else to do spend
the time in practice kicking before and
after signal work.
Dinner is served at the small hotel about
noon and the food given the men IS only
such as will develop and strengthen them.
The chef is a man who understands his
work, and as the team spent week at tins
same retreat last year the management
did not have to break in new servants or
spend any time teaching the cook what
team in training needed and how it should
be prepared.
At O'Clock in the afternoon the hard
practice game between the first and second
down. s sprint to training quarters and
a rundown put the men in fine condition
for the evening meal and a nights rest.
Every one of the players must turn in
before 10 o'clock.
Between practice the players are at lib
erty to do anything they please. Most of
them spend it in reading and few in
studying to keep up their university work,
for they are all obliged to make up the
work which is missed.
Camp is with the men at all times, and
it is at this time he gets in work that
shows perceptibly in the mems play. He
spends some time with each man who
needs coaching, points out the weak places
in his play and shows him how to over
come them. Having the men so directly
under his supervision, unhampered by the
watchful eyes of spectators, he can ex-
plain the intricacies of the game 10 the
team.
In his coaching Camp is assisted by
HARRISON, last years quart erback; Down
ing, captain and tackle of the team last
season; Walton, the star half-back, and
Mcmillan, captain of Reliance and
former Stanford player, will aid In coach
ing the men after to-day.
The play of the men has improved
noticeably already. The line is more ag-
eressive and the backs can be coached.
Dole, Fisher and Reynolds are doing first
rate work at half-back. Frankenheimer'
ankle will be strong enough to permit of
his entering the game in earnest about
Monday.
The students met in body last evening
nd
college songs and college yells for two
hours. Enthusiasm is being worked up to
a high pitch, and by Thanksgiving will be
intense. Two more evenings OF practice
singing will be INDUCED IN next week be-
fore the eventful day.
The new college songs, written specially
for this year, are becoming all the rage
here, and are more catchy than usual.
The following portion OF a song, written
by Charles K. Field, '95, is fair sample of
the music now in vogue at Stanford, and
is one of the most popular of the uni
versity's airs. 1t is entitled The Glitter
of the Glamour" and is sung to the tune
of 1.-The Band Played On:
From the foggy shore Of Berkeley came the U. C.
the fray.
Her banners cleaning bright with blue and gold
Alas! those gsudy coors were bedimmed at close
OF day
And Berkeley's atmosphere was blue and cold.
In the foothills they hiding as blue anything,
All melted is their gold, so hot the score;
But they've given Stanford voices exultaur song
to sing,
And the glitter of that glamour is no more.
For
Berkeley came cut for a football game,
And the band played on;
Her tackles sick and her halfbacks were lame,
But the band played on;
The cardinal foated, the Stanford crowd gloated,
The Berkeley girls wep: in alarm,
But we never let slip Of the championship
And the band played on.
Then sing the song they've taught US and proclaim
our victory;
They've laid their gaudy coIors the shelves
Wen wake the gloomy silence that now saddens
all their glee
with a little apt quot alton from themselves.
Then hide yourselves, oh, Berkeley, nor ever be
TOO bold:
Your prehistoric leadership is DER;
The cardinal has burned your blue and furnished
all your gold,
For
Frisco came out with her strawberry girls
And the band played on;
The fog did things to those cardinal curls:
But the band played on
The gridiron was reeking, the girls were all shrek
ing
For Joy when the cardinal won. For
We never let slip Of the championship,
And the band played on.
The executive committee of the Asso-
ciated Students appropriated $40 at its last
meeting for decorating the special train OF
fifteen cars that will take the Stanford stu
dents from the campus to San Francisco
on the day of the game.
