very late arrival on the gridlron.
Stanford's line as. whole is undoubt-
edly, as far as material goes, far superior
to Berkeley's.
As to the backs, there seems to be no
question that Berkeley is decidedly the
better off, Stanford men themselves con-
cede this. The weakness OF the Stanford
team lies first in the work of her half
backs, who do not yet act in speedy con-
cert with each other in interference and in
backing up line attack.

Prospects for the THANKSGIVING

Only five days remain before the sturdy
knights of the gridiron at the State Uni
versity will meet the Drawn and muscle
from Stanford in the sixth annual inter-
collegiate football championship match of
The Pacific Coast. On next Thursday aft
ernoon will be broken the spell OF anxiety
and suspense that has held the students
and partisans of these two educational in
stitutions since the close of the last
Thanksgiving game and that has been
growing and growing in intensity every
day for weeks. No sooner, however. than
the UNI pire has called ''time' and the
great contest of 1896 has come to a close
than thoughts of the next years battle
and its result will be born and cherished
Three tie games and two defeats are
enough" say the Berkeley men. land we
will win this year or die in the effort"
The Stanford students say: stamford
has never yet been beaten by Berkeley at
football, and our Varsity shall hold the
cham pionship that has been ours for five
successive years"
Considerable betting on the result of the
game is said to be going on, with odds in
favor of Stanford, all the way from to
to to l. Other bets are being taken with
the same odds in favor of Berkeley.
As in the past, the Stanford students
are doing little betting themselves They
are not betting class. One enthusiast,
however, is known to have over $500 in
Stanford money deposited in bank here,
awaiting California hackers at even money.
Nothing but unwise partisanism on either
side would offer odds, for the records of
past years show these universities TO be
more evenly matched in football than any
other two rival institutions in America
and the chances this year are not strongly
either way.
The teams which will play on Thurs
day, though they have not been officially
announced on either side, are practically
selected now.
Berkeley has a light but active line.
Her center Is less experienced and skillful
and consid erably lighter than Williams of
Stanford, but is well supported Dy the
guards. They, too, are lighter than the
Stanford men and are not the equals of
either Captain Fickert, who now strips at
1913 pounds, or of the agile Carle, who
stripped yesterday at the remarkable
weight of 214 pounds. Carrie was slightly
hurt few days since, but is himself again.
What sort of big man he is may be in
ferred from the fact that although he is
the heaviest man at Stanford he is one OF
the best gymnasts and can turn air springs
with ease.
Simpson, one of Berkeley's tackles, is
superior to his Stanford opponent. At the
other tackle Stanford will probably have
slight advantage in experience and
skill.
Both universities think that at ends
they will be weaker than their oppo-
Dents. 1t is safe to sayfthat they are
standoff. Stanford's ends are their Varsity
pitcher and catcher of last year-McLaine
