FOOTBALL MEN TURN OUT
Large Number of Players Prac.
tice on the Berkeley
Campus.
Annual Gathering of the Woman
Suffragists' Society of the
University Town.

three football men turned out this alter
noon for three-quarters of an hours prac-
tee on the field. This was the largest
number that have come down from the
gym" for practice together at any one
time this season. Most of the aspirants
for honors on the gridi iron were new men.
That is. they have never before played
under the blue and gold, but some of them
evidently have had considerable previous
experience with the pigskin.
The players were divided into three
squads-one under Bender, another under
Hopper, and the third and largest squad
under Captain Ransome. The first two
squads spent the entire practice period in
running after and falling on the ball.
while Ransome's squad practiced catching
the great fuIlback's kicks. The ground
was IN poor condition for practice, not
having been wet down sufficiently long.
Mudholes were in abundance. Half the
university turned out to witness the first
Dig practice OF the season and to size up
the new material.
