and the way they will oppose each other.
The stripped weights, which are in each
case about ten pounds less than with
clothes on. are also given. The Stanford
weights are mainly close approxim ations,
as are those for Sherman, Sheehy and
| FELTON, Taylor of Reliance; but the other
Reliance weights are, in every instance,
/ exact and Tellable:

| The result of this match will indicate
! how the two universities stand, for the
Reliance, with less powerful team, last
| Saturday defeated California on the same
grounds 10 10 0. The new additions to the
Reliance since then are Eddie Sherman,
| the former Berkeley captain, at end; big
| Gene Sheehy, of recent newspaper and
Berkeley fame, at tackle; Felton, Taylor
| at tullback and Platt al quarter instead of
| Code, who has gone to the mines.
No early game of former years excited
SO much interest among Stanford parti-
sans as to-day's contest with the Reliance
team. Until Saturdays practice game
Stanford men were quite confident, but
after seeing the second eleven successfully
buck the Varsity down the field for many
yards there is feeling that the line men
may not be able to hold the heavy Reli-
| ance players. 1t is probable that not many
changes in the Stanford lineup will be
made during the game, as it is desired to
give the strongest candidates a thorough
| trial. 1t will be the first game in which
| Burnett, Parker and DAILY of Stanford have
| taken part and their work will be watched
| with interest.
Sheehy's introduction into the Reliance
team, now first announced, practically
settles the question of his resuming prac-
tice at Berkeley. He is a big, strong,
active man, and Rice will have to employ
all his knowiedgs of the tackles position,
| gained during live years from Eastern
coaches, to oppose him and prevent big
Feiton Taylor from gaining there with his
unscientific, but remarkably successful
plle-driver style of line bucking.
Stanford will probably show the better
team work and the better kicking. The
| question Is, Will the remarkably heavy
i and powerful Reliance neutralIze these?
1t Will be worth while to WATCH
Manager Frawiey of the Columbia has
invited the Reliance and Stanford football
teams be be his guests at the theater this
| evening.
| The Stanford freshman team that is to
| oppose Caiifcrnia's freshmen on the 30th
in the annual contest will play at the new
grounds, Eighth and Harrison streets, at
1880 clock this forenoon, against The
lowell High School eleven.
The freshmen will have an advantage in
weight, averaging about fifteen pounds
more TO the man. They will also have
the advantage OF some expert coaching.
AS tor team work, however, they will pos
! sibly be inferior to their opponents.
| The freshman teams lineup is not de-
termined upon, but will in the main bs
the same as that in the game with Bel
mont School, which the freshmen won,
and as that is the more recent game with
the Y. NJ. c. z. light weights team, which
the freshmen lost by margin.
The High School players, whose approxi-
mate stripped weights are given. will line
up in this way:
ton, 143; right guard, Cook. 1872: center Jackson.
l40: left guard, stiliman, 165: left tackle Chad,
yer, los; right left Robinson (capIaln), l3S; LETT
half, Rooney, 144; full Hooper, 135.
The football team of the Horace Mann
Grammar School. weighing 135 pounds
to the man. would like to hear from all
teams OF equal weight. Franklin Nor
rison, 135 San Jose avenue, city, is cap
! tain.
| The week has brought about but few en-
! couraging changes in Berkeley football
| circles. Guiberson has improved wonder.
fully and is beginning to play the game
with an eagerness that has formerly been
| lacking in his play.
Sheehy has left Berkeley, and Califor-
| Mas chances Tor a strong aggregation at
center have fallen in consequence. Since
the trouble with Sheehy more attention
has been given to Gulberson, and every
effort will be used to make Varsity
puard of hi m for this season
Ludlow is putting up good game at
| guard. but whether he would be q Bile to
hold Fickert or Carrie is problem atical.
Hooper and Mayer are also showing UP
well, but are rather light for guards.
Another new candidate Tor guard has ap-
peared in the form of Barnes, who has
been moved from tackle.
| Giersberg con tinues to put up his first
| class game at center. Bender at quarter
| is dong good work at interfering and
breaking through. but his passing is some
what faulty. He has not as yet become
expert in the new method of passing,
! which is different from that used when he
| played quarter before.
/ 1olman is doing well at tackle. Thers
| is an abundance of cool material for this
| position, but with the exec ption of Simp-
| son, who may possibly play tackle, who
could play strong enough game to Offset
the advantage that Stanford will have In
her guards.
Collier and Kaarsberg have been play
ing on the Varsity most of this week.
Many beleve that Hopper will be back
at end again, although he is playing an
excellent game a haifback.
Most of the freshmen have been playing
with their class team, so opportunity has
not been given 10 size them up as Varsity
possibilities. Pringle, who has been laid
up with water on the knee, has come out
again and will try Tor guard.
He weighs about 100 pounds and is an
