First Appearance Here
Tom orrow.
Sheehy Will Give Berkeley Only a
Day More of Grace-0ther Games
and Items.

Tomorrow afternoon the Stanford Var
sity will make its nrst appearance of the
season in this city. 1t will play the
heavy Reliance team, recently strength
ened since its game with California
last Saturday by The addition at end of
Eddie Sherman, the veteran Berkeley
PLAYER and one-time captain.
Reliance has a remarkable line OF
heavy giants. Its team work, however,
is yet undeveloped.
There should be battle royal between
these big fellows and Stanford's veteran
and power full line.
At present Stanford has the best team
work of any of the eievens and is already
playing in something approaching Var
SHY form
Sheehy has given the foot ball manage
ment at the University of California just
until tomorrow to restore him uncondi-
tionally 20 the training squad. He refuses
10 apologize TO Assistant Coach Archie
= cree, as he declares that in telling him
10 mind his own business he said what he
meant, what Pierce deserved and what he
still believes does not merit an apology.
II the big fres man guards case be not
satisfactorily settled by tomorrow then
Sheehy Will, he declares, quit the Berke-
ley football squad for good, and on Mon
day will begin training with Reliance.
Though unpleasant to the student body
al Berkeley il is not denied that, as stated
III The CALL Wednesday, Sheehy may
have facts back of his threat 10 ''glve
something away concerning himself and
the management if harsh comments on
his conduct did not cease.
When Sheehy entered Berkeley the
Daily Palo Alto OF Stanford, commenting
on the fact remarked that it presented a
rornhlp in halt oil n ha cOix l,xr
Sheehy's attendance or non-attendance at
college after the football season should be
over. II ii has not done anything else 1t
has promoted the greatest disturbance
known in B rkeley's football history.
The STANFORD freshman team will play
the Lowell High School eleven on the
new grounds, corner of Eighth and Har-
rison streets, tomorrow forenoon. The
game will be called at 10:30 O'Clock. The
collegians should win with a liberal
margin.
Reliance and the Stanford varsity will
meet on the same grounds at 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon. The result is problemati-
cal. An unusually good contest is ex-
pected for so early in the season.
The Belmont California freshman game
scheduled Tor Tomorrow has been called
off. Some of the Belmont School players
are down with the mumps.
The second crop nominal Army and
Navy team, organized Dy enIlSieQ s0ldlerS
after the original olympic aggregation
had dlsbanded and lef,, was to have
played the thiru eleven at Berkeley to-
morrow, according to Coach Motifs plans,
but Manager Brown himself has can
celed the game.
Berkeley football enthusiasts are at
present busy commenting on the great
i'm pl ovement in the work of Nat Guiber-
son, the big freshman guard. Guiberson
has developed remarkably in the last fe w
DAYS and IN Tuesdays contest between the
freshmen and st. Matthews played a star
game. With half dozen of the San Ma
leo players upon him he succeeded in
dragging McCabe, the freshman captain
and aifback, for distance of ten yards.
He exhibits dash and energy, previously
noticeaply lacking in his play.
If Guiberson continue TO improve as
he has for the past few days be will be
formidable candidate for the Varsity. His
chances of max ng the team will be
especially good if big Gene Sheehy does
not succeed in being reinstated.
Simpson, last years star tackle, is ex-
pected on the field shortly. He will try
for halfback. At present Hopper and
Thane, both light men, are playing halves
Sim pson's 1S5 pounds would materially
streng hen Berkeley's contingent OF
backs which at present is very light
Bender and Haskell are making spirited
contest for quarter.
Several changes have been made since
Percy Hall took Haske!l's place as cap
tain. Kaarsberg who had played as full
back on the third ana fourth elevens,
has been tried as lett end on the Varsity
