The Woodland Company.

WOODLAND, CAL, Jan. S.-The first
drill of the year took place last Wednes-
day evening. About forty men were in
attendance. Close and extended order
drill were gone through in very cred
liable manner, which goes to show that
the boys have not grown rusty during the
months lay off. Everything in and
about the armory is in good shape. The
only thing lacking is flag to run up on
the new pole. What the company needs
most is suitable place for 800 and
500 yard ranges. The only place
available is in the tule land about four
miles east of town, and that is covered
with water at the present time. So we
don't know exactly what to do. The foot
ball team of the company played its first
game Christmas day with an aggregation
OF Berkeley students and was beaten 10
the tune OF IA to 0. The boys are not dis
couraged though and are ready TO nego-
tate for game with q team from some
one Of the OF er com panies.
The company is going to give a grand
annual bail some time in February and
wants soldiers from everywhere to at
tend, be they militiamen or regulars.
Two new member were admitted to the
company at the last meeting and several
applications are on the board ready 10 b,
acted on ct the next m aeting.

OFFICERS PLEASED
Now There Is Talk of Send
ing a Football Team

An Effort to Be- Made to Build Up
Strong Eleven for Next
Season.

There is happiness in army and navy
circles over the victory of their football
players in Saturdays society game with
the University Club team. 1t is likely
that as result of the match football will
become regular annual pastime with the
young officers stationed here, as it has
long been with the undergraduates at the
universities. And next season team
may go north.
The spirit has been aroused all right,
and the only obstacle will be the uncer-
tainty and the paucity OF good material
from which to build team each year.
The location of naval officers is so unre-
liable; the good football players among
them may be in port one day and ordered
to sea with their ship the next. The pos
sibilities among the army officers are more
stable. The different posts about San
Francisco will have to furnish material
that may generally be counted on to be
here on the day of a game.
There are probably about severty-fve
commissioned officers from which to
choose an eleven" said Lieutenant Nolan
yesterday at the Preside. The Univer-
sity Club team may be picked from hum
d-eds of men, all Of whom have played
the game. Only few of the officers have
played. We had but two extra men in
case of accident TO our team yesterday.
This Army and Navy team Is, be-
lieve, the first combination of the kind
that has ever been known in the United
States service. Those of US that had play ed
before had always met on the field as
rivals representing West Point and An
napolis.' 1t was novel thing for us all

News From the seventh.

SANTA ANA, CAL, Jan. Wednesday
evening was an eventful occasion with
Company L of the Seventh Regiment,
n. 6. e., of this city, the seventh ami
versary OF the organization of the COM
Dany being celebrated on that date with
public drill and company banquet. The
armory parlors and Surgeons Hall,
which is Immediately adjoining and used
as a drillroom. were thrown open 10 the
200 invited guests who assem- bled to enjoy
an evening with the soldIer-boys.
The company drill, which occupied
about an hour and a half, was a splendid
exhibition of NJ Hilary discipline and was
fatteringly received by the large audience.
Captain tiney's command never ap-
peared to better advantage than on this
enjoyable birthday occasion.
Following the regular company manual
drill came a com etitive drill in the school
OF the soldier, in which eight men par
ticipated, Corporal John Abbey Icing
awarded the medal for the best drilled
soldier of the squad.
The visitors then spread through the
spacious ana comfortable quarters of the
company. becoming acquainted with the
commanding officer or the regiment.

Colonel Shredder, who were the visitors of
honor, and all being we'll entertained by

At 10 O'Clock the company marched 20
the Hotel Brunswick, where, with a few
press representatives and ex-mem bers OF
distinction. splendid banquet was en-
joyed, followed by happy after dinner
talks, which lasted far into the night Cap
tain S. II. Finley acted as toastmaster,
and responses were made by Colonel
Berry, Lieutenant Colonel Schneider. ex-

nah.
Following these speeches, which were
all of a pleasurable and soldierly vein,
Corporal Dresser arose and in few we'll
chosen remarks presented Captain Finley
with a handsome chain and charm as
token of the esteem in which he was held
by the com any and its high appreciation
of his efforts for the past two years as
commanding officer. The captain was
surprised and nonplused for a moment
at this turn OF affairs, but soon recovered
himself and accepted the gift in grace
full speech.
The evening was great success through
out, and the seventh anniversary of Com
pany L will long be cherished in the
memory of those present. Colonel Berry
paid the boys many fiattering tributes,
particularly commencing the company

Society Game.

demonstrating to them how much better
they feel for being in good athletic condi-
ton.
Zone thing we hope to have next year
is strong football team made up OF the
enlisted men. There is already some talk
OF arranging series OF games between the
represen tatives If the army here and those
in the Department of the Columbia. The
Vancouver barracks have had good team
for several years. The officers play on the
team with the enlisted men up there. 1t
would probably be the same way here.
lone of the games would likely be played
here and one In Portland, while if a third
were necessary to decide the winner
place could be decided upon for the final
game. We would like to work this thing
up. The only objections would be the
difficulty probably of obtaining the con-
sent of the commanders to a trip"
Lieutenant King. who was the star of
the game on Saturday, came here from
Fort Grant Arizona, on short leave of
absence, granted especially that he might
take Part in the football match. He will
leave the Presidic to-day for his station.
After Lieutenant Nolan, captain of the
Army and Navy team. had very literally
permitted the Introduction into the Uni
versity Club team of university veterans
that were not members of the club he then
arranged for Lieutenant King to come up
from Arizona. The original challenge
had, however, been from the University
for game between it's members and the
officers of the army and navy stationed
here.
King was graduated from West Point
only last summer. He was then assigned
to the Seventh Cavalry stationed at pres
ent at Fort Grant in Arizona. He is
native of Massachusetts and was a men,
Der of the West Point team during his
whole four years at the academy. He
captained the team the last two years.
His record as kicker in the Army and
Navy and University Club match has
probably never been equaled in game on
this coast. He punted thirteen times for
a total gain of 524 yards or an average of
a littl over forty yards for each kick. He
was given the ball nineteen times and
gained a total of seventy-nine yards by
runs. Only once did he fail to gain and
that time he was tackled behind the line
for loss OF three yards.

The Teachers, Convention.

Washington, the natural meeting place
of ali national organizations. will doubt
less extend a hearty invitation to the teach
ers of America to hold their annual session
of 1898 in this city. 1t Is highly appro-
pirate that this should be done. for the
national capital has already become one
Of the great educational centers Of the
country, and possesses many features that
are attractive to men and women engaged
in this noble enterprise. 1t Is estimated
that while the normal attendance upon the
sessions of the National Educational Asso-
citation ranges from 10000 to 10000. there
will be no less than 10000 teachers from
all parts Of the country present at the
meeting of 1903 If 1t Is held here. 1t ap-
pears that the first formal step must be
taken by the Board of School Trustees.
This will probably be done. and it Is quite
certain that in such q matter all other or
ganizations whose voice will contribute to
the heartiness Of the invitation will speed
lily Join, and that the Commissioners will
be enabled to extend the welcoming hand
to this great body Of teachers. 1t Is to be
hoped that q strong delegation Of WASH
ington educators will go to Milwaukee In
July to indorse the invitation and to work
for its acceptance. though 1t now seems
certain that the association will gladly ac-
cept IL it is made plain that the capital
city desires its presence.
