Interesting News.

BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 3.-Berkeley's
football season practically opened to-day.
Captain Ransome posted q bulletin this
morning requesting all candidates for
positions back of the line to report at the
gymnasium for suits after military drill.
Nineteen men responded to the call and
carried away their quota of jerseys. stock
ings, trousers, shoes. shinguards, ankle
protectors and noseguards.
Following are the men who were sup
piled with their seasons equipment for
work on the gridiron: Kennedy, Sher-
man, Haskell, Hopper, Ludlow, Hutchin-
son, Greisberg, Kaarsberg, Ransome,
Bender, Hall, Julian, Carr, Anderson,
Toland, Thompson, Birdsall, Powers and
Ellis.
The thirteen first mentioned of these
men are old players under the blue and
gold, while the last six are new men, all of
whom have had previous football expert
ence. Tomorrow afternoon suits will be
dealt out to candidates for places on the
line, and it is anticipated that at least
fifty men will apply for playing garb at
that time.
The first practice of the season will be
held tomorrow afternoon, when the backs
ing attire.
Practice for the line men, however, will
not begin until September IA. In the
meantime they will engage in gymnasium
work of q general character. Just what
policy will govern the training OF the men
Throughout: the season has not yet been
decided upon by the advisory Committee,
which was appointed by the Athletic Asso-
citation last week, but it is generally under
stood that less vigorous work at the begin
ming of the season will be one of the main
features of their accommodation to the
management. The prevailing idea in foot
ball circles at this time seems to be that
the work of the season should be very
light at first, then more vigorous and
finally hard and fast.
Last year but little gymnasium work
was done, but this season the chances are
favorable for decidedly great amount.
A letter was received by Director Magee
yesterday from Oscar n. Taylor, the
veteran varsity player who is now at Bel
mont. Taylor suggested, as member of
the advisory committee, that much gym"
work should be done, and that the men be
given ample opportunity for strengthen
ing their muscles and toning up their sys-
TENS before commencing hard line work.
From now until the end of the season
the candidates for places on the team must
give up smoking and drinking and place
themselves under strict training rules.
Junior Day Affairs.

Everett Brown of the junior class has ap-
pointed the following committees on the
class day performances and the class
debt:
On class debt-W. Star, L. M. Parish.
w. Smith. On junior day muscle. G.
day farce-J. Hopper, Miss McCleave, A.
Chlckering, Miss Barto, E. Stadtmuller,

committee this afternoon that all farces

No Lights for the Campus.
BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 3.-Neither
the library at the State University nor the
campus will be lighted during the coming
year because of lack of money for paying
the expenses of running the dynamos. No
money was allowed by the regents on their
last budget to pay for lighting the library,
but $3.50 was set aside for operating six
arc lights on the campus.
II seems that blunder was made in the
fnanciering concerning the lighting. 1t
was estimated that if three arc lamps
could be run year for $50 apiece six could
be run at the same ratio of expense, or for
$780, In reality it would cost nearly $500
to run even the six lamps.
