Berkeley Match With Reliance To-

Berkeley Match With Reliance To-
Day-Weights Of Two Varsities.
The first of the seasons games among
the "big four" teams Will be played at
Central Park this afternoon between the
University of California Varsity and the
Reliance eleven. Game will be called at
2:30.
The match will be interesting in COM
parative way for the line il will give on
the games to follow. 1t is thought that
Reliance has the advantage thus early in
the season over Berkeley. In practice last
week with the Stanford team Reliance
did not score or permit the Palo Alto men
to make touchdown.
Berkeley's line is yet unsteady, while
Reliance with Oliver. guard, Burnett, GEN.
ter, and Sexton, tackle, has probably the
three strongest men Oh the coast for those
positions.
Olympic has been practicing faithfully
throughout the week, and has gained two
new candidates in Conde Jones for full
back and Snowden, an ex-Stanford
pitcher, for most promising end or half.
Stickney. the old Harvard player, though
acting as coach, will play with the Olympic
team.
On MOHudy anu Oh Two OCutr evenings
of next week Berkeley will play practice
games with Olympic at Central Park.
The public will not be admitted.
Tommy Code, who was to have tried
for tackle on the Olympic team, will
coach one of the big teams OF the North
west, but hopes to be back if needed, for
the Reliance Olympic championship
match.
From the following football material
two Varsity elevens are to be formed for
the sixth annual intercollegiate match.
What are thought to be the more promis-
ing candidates for each position are
named first, but with no attempt at order
of merit in the others. As near as pos
s1ble the correct stripped weights are
given. The relative merits of the candi-
dates for each team, as well as their in
dividual weights, are, of course, likely to
change a little during the next seven
weeks of the training season, and men
now trying for one position may prove
better fitted for another:

This is the way thousands of young men
explain the matter. 1t Is serious. There
was time when nothing was exeess-they
could stand anything, but now the slight
est exertion is excess, and "plays them
out"
What is excess to-day will cause nervous
prostration inside of two years, because the
body is growing weaker every day-the
vital, recuperative force is daily growing
less, and will in time give out completely.
Mend now, before it is too late, before the
last spark is gone. 1t has been truly said
that If there is spark of vitality left in the
body DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt will de-
veiop ii to fame of healthy vital force, but
when the last spark dies all hope is gone.

and although Miss benson played first
class tennis she could not stem the tide of
defeat, Miss Foster and Mr.. Whitney win
ming the match and tournament, 6-1 Ga

The Charges Against the South End
Crew Are Contradicted.
The outlook for a regatta on Oakland
Creek on Thanksgiving day is very en-
co1raging. and although the affair is yet
in premature state crews and single
scullers are already getting in shape for
the contests.
The following is an extract from the
Stockton Record in regard to the alleged
bribery of oarsmen:
THAT it was being fixed as much as
possible to have the South Ends win out,
not the least doubt in the world remains
but on the honor of the members of the
Pacific Athletic Association it can be said
that they had no hand in the matter
whatever. The South Ends went into the
race to win honestly and fairly and that
they were beaten was only because they
had met better men,"

eliminate the feeling that has been in

A remarkable instance of affection be-
tween dog and COW is related by
suburbanitc. His little black Scotch ter
rier became infatuated with a small
Jersey COW in his neighborhood, and
every morning he would run off to the
pasture where his bovine sweetheart
was kept. He would slip out the side
way and walk along with the cow He
often missed his breakfast and often did
not taste a mouthful all day. When she
munched grass by the roadside, he pa
tLently sat ON his launches until she
moved along Sometimes he was con-
fined at home to break mp the habit. but
as soon as he was released off he would
go at a full run for the pasture, sim
Cling out his love from the herd Of cattle
and following close at her heels He
would jump up, lick her feet and show
signs of greatest joy when he came to
her. While the cow ON her part did not
appear to appreciate his attentions she
did not hook him away. Finally the
family grew tired of keeping a dog that
remained away during the day and only
came home for his supper and to spend
the night and gave him to persons live
ing some distance in the country. The
COW, who had never seemed to notice
any of his demonstrations Of affection,
missed his companionship when he was
gone. She would come to his former
home at evening, put her head over the
palings and low. She did this at inter
walls for several months Sioux City

A train always exerts greater strain
on an iron bridge when going quickly
than when gong slowly, but the differ
encc in the strain depends on the struc-
ture of tho bridge and is much moro i'll
some cases than in others. When the
train goes over the bridge, it causes a
wave to travel along the structure, ow-
ing to the elasticity of the iron.
That part Of the bridge just in front
of the train is raised little, and the
part under the train is lowered, so that
each part Of the bridge is successfully
raised ard lowered as the trnin goes
over it. AID the more quickly the train
travels the mere sudden this will be,
and consequently the more violent.
The strain produced will vary with
the square of the velocity Of the wave,
so that the train will exert four times
the strain when it doubles its velocity,
and nino times when it triples its We
locity. Mercury.
