FOOTBALL FEVER At STANFORD.
Enthusiasts Await the Coming Season
With Lmpatience-A Wealth of
Material on Hand.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
8. 3.-Football enthusiasts are slowly tegin-
ming to feei the fever and enthusiasm OF
the approaching season. Such old veterans
as Harreleson '95 and Sheehan '95 say that
no former entering class has brought in
such a wealth of football material as the
one that has Just registered. The follow
ing is a partial list of the freshmen players
and their positions so far as known:
Dole, half and full back on the Riverside
High School team. He is a big, strong, active
man and can be depended upon.
Wilson, h aliback and captain of the Los
Angeles team, also played at Boone's Acad-
emy He is built somewhat after the style of
enheimer, and comes with good record.
Phil Wadsworth, captain and halfback OF the
undefeated Belmont team. Although light
man, he has unlimited grit and is an adept at
lodging and end-running.
Wyckoff, fullback on the oakland High
School team and one of the best punters in the
business. He is also good half or quarter
back.
Russ, halfback on last years Oakland High
Beckley, end on the Belmont team; a very
gritty and sure tnckler.
Manley, halfback on the San Mateo School
team.
Naples. tackle on the Pomona College team
Naples comes from Fickerts town, and is
spoken of as good man by Fickert. He is
hard worker and q conscientious and consist
Phil and Ed Gilman. both over six feet tall
ard heavy men. They were center and guard,
pectively, on the Manzanita Hall team last
year.
Voss, quarterback on the Troop College
team.
strout. captain and tackle on the Santa Rosa
High School team.
Besides these men who already have
good prep" school regulations there are
any number of men who give promise of
developing into good players. From the
list given above it will be seen that the
class has wealth Of material for positions
back of the lire, while the known candi-
dates for line positions are not so numer-
ous As result of this condition, spe cial
attention will have to be given to the prep
aration of new men who have the neces-
sary "beei" and headwork for active and
aggressive linewo1k.
Considerable uneaslness is felt concern
ing the return OF Burnett 100, who is STAN
ford's hope and pride for the position of
center rush. So far nothing has beeL heard
from him, but it is hoped that he will re-
turn, as there seems TO be no other avsila-
bic m an for the position.
The subject of grounds Is still the cause
of much discussion, but 1t will proba-
bly, be settled upon at the Friday meeting
of the student body. The general senti-
ment seems to be against the proposed
plan of moving them TO the arboretum.

Lmf0i's Party.
SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 2.-Alaska's s
silent city has emerged once more from
its mysterious hiding place and yeaied
its presence to five mem bers of the party
which panied Prince Luigi up
Mount ST. Elias.
In the early morning of July 13 the
party, while returning from the ocean
with supplies, suddenly saw the city mir
rored in the clear atmosphere. The vision
was so clear that G. w. Thorn ton, who
6rst noticed it, wrote in his notebook as
follows:
'It required no effort of Imagination to
itken it 10 city, but was so distinct on
the plain that it requited instead strong
faith to believe that it was not in reality a
CITY,"
Whereas the silent city of which Miner
w. Bruce wrote was seen from Muir
Glacier, the one observed by Mr..
Thornton and his company was noted
from Malmspima Glaciers, over 100
miles distant. 1t remained a perfect inn
ave for thirty minutes and then slowly
iaded away, while in its place appeared q
rocky ridge.

Cuesta and Walter Elliott, and William

zation to-day as representatives of Santa

in land values from one end OF 'he

year, but the majority had been forced

EQUALIZER Arnold asked about this par
ticularly and remarked, after the Assessor
had said it had been reduced, that he
thought the reduction was fully Justified
Mr.. Newhall then read letter from
number of Santa Bar bara landowners who
live in Santa Barbara. The letter re-
uuested the board not to raise the assess
lnent of the county, and declared that to
the knowledge of the signers the county
was assessed higher, in proportion to its
xslue, than were other counties in the
State. In speaking of the assessment on

$14 per head was fully all they were worth,

Equalizer Arnold wanted to know if
NewnaIl thought he would prefer higher
tax rate and lower valuation.
Newhai answered that he believed as
sessments should be nearer their own
value. ~
When asked If he thought that his prop
erty in San Francisco was as we'll assessed
as his property in Santa Barbara, he said
that he thought it was. but was unable to
state accurately, as his brother had charge
of his San Francisco property. ~
When Slskiyou had its innings, during
the afternoon session, its representatives
simply requested to be left alone. Their
interests were mainly mining, cattle
raising and lum bering. The timber area
had greatly decreased of late years and
this accounted for the decrease in the as
sessment roll of the county.
Morehouse then asked: ''If there were
ten counties to be equalized. and three of
them were too low and seven too high
how would you equalize? Would you
favor raising the three or reducing the
seven?'
Newton replied that he would favor
raising the three, but declared that no
matter how many counties might be re-
dGced, and how high the tax rate might
be forcad up, he wanted no decrease or
other interference with his roll. -
