The Olympic and Reliance Teams
VIII Meet To-Day.
BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. 13.-Whateyer
may be said OF the strength, brilliancy or
weakness OF the individual PLAYERS of the
Berkeley and Stanford football teams at
the present time, there is a co-existent
feellng OF anxiety and uncertainty which
Is perhaps only exceeded during the entire
football season by the suspense which
arises on the day of the great game. when,
the two teams, with gIrded loins and full
armor, step on the field of battle. ONLY
twelve days remain before the Drawn and

big game. The training season has nro-
gressed so far that it would not be a diff.
cult matter to pick out fifteen men. from

other reasons. 1t would be practically
impossible at this late date in the practice
season to train up green man to Varsity
form, or Tor very seriously injured
player on the first or second eleyens to
recover sufficiently to enter the match.
AS the time for the final struggle draws
closer and closer at hand the work of the
team will be redoubled, and with each
harder stroke that is required of them
comes proportionate risk of being in
lured. 1t is the fear of injury which gives
rise 10 the supreme anxiety on the part of
both the players themselves and the stu
dent body, for each injury either means
mat one man less will be able to enter the
big game or TO try for substitute.
For the last three years it has seemed IN

some OF her best men laid off either en-

THANKSGIVING day. Last year Ransome
injured MS knee about two weeks before
the intercollegiate, and was forced to Law
OH for almost the entire remaining time.
Sherman sprained his ankle, and conse,
quently was not up to form, and Hupp
was only able to stay with the game few
minutes because of previously sustained
injuries. Almost the same situation pre-
walls again this year. Three of the five
Varsity players who returned are now
lald up with bruises and sprains which
NAV prevent them from entering. at least
from playing the entire time.
The injuries TO these three PLAYERS and
the danger of having still more of the
best men on the team laid off has had
tendency to put Berkeley decidedly on
the qul vive. Each time that good man
mas been laid off great harm has been
worked to the team. 1t has meant that
his experienced services have been lost

vacant place and that risk has been run

| To-day is the beginning of the end of
the present football season on this coast.
Reliance and Olympic, the great athletic
club rivals of the West, will meet at 8
o'clock this afternoon for the first time
this year to decide whether Oakland or

Both teams have gone through season
OF hard training ana both have met Berke-
ley and Palo Alto several times, with
varying results that have made it most

as to the relative strength of the two
| elevens.
Heretofore Reliance has always been the
victor in contests with Olympic, but this
season the prospects of the local club have
been very mucn better than for several
years past. To begin with, the untlring
coaching of Stickney, the old Harvard
player, has been of great beneit both in
training and inspiring the men.

plucky Stickney is 'out of it" because of

teams stand. should be close, with a shade
in favor of the maroon and white from
Oakland.
Oily mpic enters the game with remark
able collection of players. There are We'll
don and Code formerly of the Stanford
team, Smith and Porter formerly of the
Berkeley team. Ames and Nolan formerly
OF the West Point team, and Mccormick
formerly of the Annapolis team.
In addition to these Snowden is an old
Stanford baseball pitcher and Kington is
student OF the college of pharmacy of
the University of California.
The Reliance team has not drawn so ex-
tensively from outside sources for Its play
ers, but Walton and Burnett are old Stan
ford Var sity players.
The Reliance will put up a hard, clean
game to-day, and though not overconfi-
dent of winning expect to be on top by
small margin.
They have been handicapped in not
having second eleven, and therefore
were unable to perfect their team as they
wished.

fariey is not far off the mark in his
statement concerning Sharkey. The
sailor Is now as hard as nails, and all
that he apparently requires is sufficient
exercise to keep his breathing apparatus
in good condition.

moments notice. Short and sharp exer-

to bring about stiff feeling in the

George Green is angry; he has kick
coming. Yesterday he received a copy of
an English sporting paper in which ap-
peared an article concerning George. The
writer called Green fifth-rate dub and
that his fight in this City with Tom Tracey
was fake. The story was based on let.
ter written from Chicago by Colonel
Hopkins, in which the manager stated
that the latter threw the fight with Green,
fearing that if he won he would be unable
to get on match with Burge.
Every person who Witnessed the contest
Will laugh at such a statement. Green
won the fight on his merits, and it is a
very good wager that Tracey will acknowl-
| edge the same to any person who may be
desirous OF knowing the facts.
Tracey was handicapped some pounds
in weight, but SO far as the fight is con-
cerned he was fairly defeated and he ac-
knowledged taat TACT in the presence of
the writer and several witnesses a few
evenings after the battle. On Wednes-
day he received a message from the Olym-

The mem bers of the Bay City Wheel
men enjoyed a club run to Sutro's Baths
last night. Some went by wheels and
others by cars, but they all got there in

Judges Kerrigan and Dunno were as sol
emn about it as their proverbial ancestral
prototypes, though the former confided in
me that he thought the salt water would
do him good. Sandy Plummer, Walter
Sheldon, Dave Marshall, King Rhys,
George Wetmore, Harry Larkin and lot
of the old-timers were there, and alto

The next meeting of the Associated

will take place. The candidates for the
presidency thus far known are A. P.
Swain of the Acme Club Wheelmen and
e. F. Weihe of the San Francisco Road
Club. As the delegates from this City,
comprising a majority of the board of
governors, are desirous of keeping the
presidency here, Weihe seems to have the
best chance. J. f. Hancock will be re-
turned as secretary-treasurer without
opposition, as he is popular and efficient
officer. All clubs belonging TO the associa-
ton must elect three delegates apiece, and
