School Bond Qpposit ion.
For the first time since it was suggested
the school bonds proposition met with
open opposition last night. The objec-
tions came from Trustee Durrell of West
Berkeley. Mr.. Durrell made speech in
which he furnished hgures OF school taxes
and said that he was opposed 10 building
bigh school to induce people to come to
Berkeley for educational purposes, thereby
causing rise in school taxes.
Mr.. DurrelI spoke OF the manufactures
in West Berkeley and appeared TO think
that the board should devote their atten-
ton to the encouragement of them.
Trustee Martin replied that Berkeley had
thus far realized more good from being an
educational center than from her manu-
factories, and said that to forego a high
school or to build merely cheap one, as
desired by Mr. Durrell, would work harm
to the towns reputation as an educational
center.
Trustee Hoff, also of West Berkeley, did
not take issue with Mr.. Durrell but said
that he felt bound by the action of his
constituents in asking at their mass-meet-
ing for $12O, 900 worth of school bonds
This was the signal for the expected
battle over which election should be held
first, that for the school bonds or the one
for the wharf, which the West Berkeleyans
all seem to want.
The West End delegation advocated
holding the wharf election first, declaring
that otherwise the school bond issue
would not carry, but it was finally decided
TO hold both elections at once, Trustees
Hoff and Durrell voting in the negative.

The Football Men Practice.
The university football players met the
Olympics at Central Park this afternoon
in their third practice game together this
week. The college men Will practice on
the campus tomorrow afternoon as for
merly. Simpson and Hall, both fresh
men, have been declared ineligible to play
in the Thanksgiving game by the athletic
executive committee of the university on
account of being specials and not having
sufficient hours to their credit, as pro-
vided in the U. C.-Stanford five years
agreement.
Considerable anxiety has been created
among the students during the last few
days over the injuries which Hupp and
Ransome have recently sustained. Ran
some's knees are in bad condition just at
present, but his trainers are hopeful that
he will be on the field again in few days.
Hupp's ankle is in such bad shape that
his physician has forbidden him to plav
for the present. He seems to be particu-
larry unfortunate in his football expert
ence, having sustained I'M uries last year at
a corresponding time which disqualified
him from trying for the Varsity.
Reinhardt, '97, who played good football
in his freshman year, but who has not
been on the field since, donned his suit
last evening and will try for center. He
tips the beam at 173 pounds.
