strative send off than the Stanford Var
sity received tonight on the eve of its de-
parture for Congress Springs where 1t

and trust in the stalwart champions who
on Thanksgiving day Will battle for the
honor OF the car final.
The glee club led the singing and the
band was or hand. Speeches we're made
by Captain Cotton Coach Brooke and the
football squad. Archie Rice OF The CALL,
HARRISON and Code OF the alumni were
also forced on the rostrum and warmed up
viii The old spirit. DIR. Stillman spoke
the faculty's word Of good cheer and Pro-
lessor Duniway gave an enthusi site adj
dress. Manager SwiIzer and other repre-
sentative collegians gave brief talks.
Every one sang the praises OF some one
else and at the conclusion the honors were
well distributed. After all was ended
within, the band, followed by the stu
dents, took the rounds Of the quadrangle
on a jolIifcation promenade, and long
rings of shouting and singing coilegians
cire ed and danced around the flower ovaIs
until quite late. The following men were
selected bv Coach Brooke tonight for Sc
cret practice at Congress Springs.
Cotton Carle, FIcEert, r ce, Thomas,
Jeffs, Parker, Rea Smith. Murphy. Da.v,
Fisher. Burnett, Woodruff, Hill Bailan-

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-According 10 a spe-

Diedrch. commando of the German

at Klao-Chau on Monday morning notified
The British, French ami Russian admirals
of his intention, and it Is said that the
Russian Admiral expressed approval
The Chlnese do not appear TO be much
distressed over the matter, declaring at
| Russia, Germany and France are prepar-
| ing to attack Japan, and Will use kiao-
Chau as a naval base.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
| Times says: Two steamers have been
chartered here to convey stores and ma
terial to the German feet in kiao-Chau
Bay. The occupation Is apparently to
bs more than temporary. Inc Chinese
general in command of the forts decided
to retire because he had no ammunition.
| The Berlin correspondent OF the Time s
! says: In the absence OF official intelll-
| gence as 10 the relation between China
! and Germany, which, II Is said, Is still
! due at Reriln, the Cabinet is undecided
| what course to pursue. There have been
| deliberations between the Departments of

| Gee ding, but nothing definite has been de-
| termined as 10 the course to be pursued in
the event of Oh mas refusal 10 accede to
the German demands. Probably in that
case a prolonged occupation would be
necessary, even ii II I'd not belong to the
original intention Of Germany. The act
i've hostility OF the Chinese must be reCk-
oned with as possible factor, ana in that
case the cruiser division in Kiao-Chau

STAMFORD VARSITY.

Stanford team has greater weight and
generally longer experience in college and
on the gridiron.
The Stanford players are undeniably
but gu ely confident. They think they
can win; they believe they ought to be
the victors.
The California representatives. generally.
are possessed of a desperate, dogged, but
not very hopeful, determination to battle
TO the end. Not man among them is a
qutter. They seem to be looking rather
10 the unexpected chances OF the contest
TO give them opportunities they hope for.
Though neither captain intends for sew
eral days yet to announce finally the men
that will compose the team, the accom-
panying lineup is the one now prac-
tlcaIly and definitely decided upon, and
conceded by the players themselves TO be
the correct one.
In punting Murphy should average 80
and 40 yards to the kick, while Hall can
not be relied upon to do more than 30
yards.
No man on the Stanford team, however,
should equal Hail at handling kicks.
In mass formations esIeca ly in the
powerful and destructive guards back
play, Stanford should have a great ad-
vantage in storming the California center
OF lighter and less experienced men.
Aside, l hope, from any individual pre-
judice, it is my opinion, after numerous
opportunities to observe the playing and
the men OF both teams, that Stanford
should win by considerable margin.

harmony with the rich tints and fresco
of the walls, were of a golden hue, while
the strings of smilax. which fell in pro-
fusion. gave a freshness to the room
which was certainly most delightful.
The library was in pink, and in the
corner great, generous banks of pink
chrysanthe M ums were held in place by q
netting which hung in graceful folds and
extended along the wall.
Green pred ominated in the dining room,
and with the soft and subdued inean-
descent light, the coors were most well
come. in a contrast that was com plete, yet
harmonious.
A little tower, built on the back veranda.
various clusters OF flowers, was where the
tea Ia bles were arranged for the con-
venience of corps of beautiful young
ladies who served refreshments
At 2 O'Clock the music from Neils or
chestra came floating through the meshes
of plants and flowers ana palms. while
Mrs McCiatchy and those who assisted
