Department moved in the right direction
when it inauguarated q scheme which
viii be productive of much good mentally
and physically to the soldiers. The fol-
lowing letter from representative of the
army is self-expIanatory:
After centuries of investigation it has been
found that something more than mental cram
ming Is necessary for the body polite. All the
colleges of any note in the world and
especially IN America, have adopted various
iorms OF physical training for the develop
mens OF young men and women, so that their
movements might be easy aud graceful; and
10 remove as lar SIS possible the slovenly
methods and awkward gaits one sees among
the People OF our time. Men OF middle age ad-
nit that their daughters are better equipped
mentally and physically than their fathers
were; and our style of New Woman would
have amazed the men of the last generation.
The War Department, ever watchful for any
thing useful that may appear on the scientific
horizon, discovered that physical develop
ment was practical and beneficial elsewhere,
and, after mature consideration adopted it in
the service. It has been proved that men of
nigh mental attalHments with undeveloped
physical powers were not the best on pitched

NEW FOOTBALL CAPTAIN.
fanager Gil OF the Olympics
Wants Advics.

cAN EEANClSCO, august u 1850.
Editor The Call: Next Wednesday evening
at o'clock the first football meeting of this
season win be held in the Olympic Club build
ing for the purpose OF eleeting captain for
this years team.
All the Olympic players and football en-
thusissts are expected to be present. A par
tieular invitation, however, is extended to all
other persons in and about this City who are
interested in the grid1ron game.
There are many old players and college en-
thusiasts in San Francisco whose presence
sugges tioaS and advice would do much in the
Way OF laying the foundation for a representa-
tive San Francisco eleven. Upon the strength
of the athletic club football teams depend TO
great extent the skill and development of the
Varsity eleTens. Stanford and the University Of
California are materially aided by outside
teams IN preparing for their great Thanksgiv-
ing game That football OF this coast may
hold its own with the Eastern game it is only
necessary that college alumni, whether they
be players or not, snail encourage whatever
may foster the maintenance and pefection of
Western football. LEoNARD GILL;

FROM the East and NOrth-lhe
American Team Abroad.
The Haverford eleven met an eleven OF
the Cambridge (EngIand) University on
tbs last day of July. It was anything but
a representative Cambridge team, how
ever, for it did not include any member of
the Varsity eleven proper. The result of
the first day was all in favor OF the Ameri-
cans. Cambridge was out for 2U2 runs
and Haverford had 1877 for three wickets.
The Australians on the same day met
II. C. c. and Ground at Lcrds. The visit
ors put up 202 runs and the EngIishmen
367. Captain Wvnyard of Ham pshire
did most of the batting. In the second
inning Australia had lib for two wickets.
The famous Indian player, Ranjitsinhji,
who has been pil1ng up centuries during
the season, was dismissed IN this match
for single.
Kent beat Surrey by 81 runs. Score:
255 TO 194
The hitherto all-conquering oregonian
eleven, the MuItnomahs, met their first
defeat last Saturday, playing the Port
land Athletic Club. Local reports of the
match suggest that the umpiring was
somewhat erratic. This is q charge hap
PLY unknown on the California grounds.
To-day the Multnomahs, led by the
doughty chief Charley Lawrence, are TO
play return game against the Associated
Banks.
s. B. Martin Of the Bohemian Club
leaves shortly for Australia. His loss will
be keenIy felt by his colleagues, for be-
sides being q capable wIcket-keeper, he is
q reliable bat and general all-round crick-
eter.
