tball men from the University OF Cali
fornia who are eligible, according to the
intercollegiate agreements to play in the
Thanksgiving game was completed to-day
by Manager Reinhardt and certified to by

list, which is twelve more than last year.
Stanford has foTty-two this year, accord
ing to their statement, which was received
here few days ago. Last year the Palo
Alto men sent up list of only twenty
nine eligibles, or thirteen less than this
season.
Two of Berkeley's men are from the law
college and two are special stud n.s, who
come under the agreement requiring thai
all such students shall have at least ter
| college units to their credit and be taking
| at least en- hours work. The remaining
thirty three men are in full standing in al
| their classes.
| AT the outset of the training season il
was thought that Berkeley would have
| several more men to enter than the Stan
| fordites because of the great mum ber that
turned out for practice, but it seems thai
| they have five less after all.
