STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, March
5.-The baseball grounds were too wet at
Santa Clara for game to-day, so the STAN
ford nine, which had made preparations
to go down there for an afternoons prac-
tice, remained on the campus.
1t has been definitely decided that next
Saturday the team will contest with an ag-
gregation of ex-Stanford players on the
home diamond. AS most of the ex-play-
ers are first-class men it will be surprising
if the Varsity succeeds in saving itself
from severe drubbing.
The glee and mandolin clubs are de-
sirous OF making a trip south during the
short spring vacation which begins on
March 20. The proposed tour would take
the clubs throug hout Southern California
and would neces state considerable fund
for expenses. The student body decided to
allow such trips upon condition that
enough money be put up by club men,
bers to guarantee the treasury against loss
on the venture. In order to raise suffi-
cient money a concert took place this
evening which was well attended and af
forded the first opportunity the students
have had to Judge of the merits of Stan
ford's musical talent
The student committee which has charge
OF the arrangements for Stanford day at
the San Jose Rose Carnival are preparing
an elaborate programme, Already spe-
cial train has been arranged for and the

formance bail will take place. Alto
