The San Francisco call., 1897-09-18
SOUTH ENDS SENIOR. BARGE CREW.

California Reliance will play practice
games nearly every Wednesday afterroo
on the Berkeley campus, Captain Frick
having on last Thursday made provisional
arrangements TO that effect with Man.
ager Brown at Berkeley.
Reliance will have chance to secure
far N ore good football material than it
can possibly use. II is to be regretted
that SO many good players, because of no
bona-fide amateur club to shelter them at
home, should become wandering MIN
strels' and ''crushed tragedians," toapply
two recently cele brated court phrases.
If Butte succeeds in being renstated in
amateur standing then its prospective
pame with Reliance will be played in
Montana.
Recent favorable developments at
Berkeley have done much to dispel the
fear at Palo Alto that Stanford men,
mindful of their great victory OF last
Thanksgiving and of the return of so
many veteran players, would be over
confident and inclined to neglect their
training.
At Palo Alto the past week it has been
so warm and the new grounds in such
wretched condition, owing to lack of
water and proper top dressing, that the
players have been unable to get much
profita BILE practice. All of them are stiff
and sore from their preliminary work.
Coach Brooke not only takes we'll with
the Stanford students, but he also wears
well. He is in no sense of the phrase "a
grand stand man." but goes quietly about
his work, giving his instructions 1herever
they seem most needed.
The preliminary work assigned by
Brooke differs from that of the old Yale
coaches. There is no gymnasium exer-
else, no long. exhausting runs to develop
wind, but, instead, all the work is done in
the field. First, he has every one punting
and catching. Then large circles are
formed, and the bail is rolled about and
dropped upon by each man in succession.
Later, players are divided into squads.
Certain of the backs usually get in one
end OF the field, center passes the ball to
a fullback, who punts to the backs, and
the various squads charge down the field
in relays. Their business is to tackle and
down the man running with the ball.

Some arrests have been made by the
game warden, but in almost every instance
the Police Courts allowed the offenders to
go scot free without even a reprimand.
It can be safely said, however, that the
officials who failed TO recognize the law so
far as game is concerned will not be recog-
nized favorably by the sportsmen at a
season of the year when votes are in de-
mand.
The deer-shcoting season in Marin
County closed on the 18th inst.-last
Wednesday-and the Game Warden who
resides in san Rafael Will keep close eye
out for law. breakers.
1t is learned that quail are being shipped
from some parts OF Marin County to this
CITY in butter-boxes, but that is nothing
new. However, the Fish and Game Com.
miss toner's may after all give some atten-
tlon to this illegal Shipment OF game in
butter-boxes to this city.
According to the appropriation the Fish
Commission has at It's disposal 'for the
restoration and preservation OF game,
$5000.
Some of the money may be expended
in the employment of deputies who can
now find good field for their services in
this city as game will arrive daily until
October l.
Frank Cum ming, John Siebe. Frank La
Coste, Billy Brown, G.. Domefgue and John
Bergez enjoyed one OF the grandestdeer-
hunting trips of the season few days
ago.
The sportsmen wound up the sea3on
for deer bunting on the ramalpias pre-
serve and the cracking OF rifles was some
thing startling as twenty-tnree deer were
Jumped" by the dogs and of that num-
Der only three ielI to the rifles of La Coste,
Brown and Bergez.
Cum ming and Siebe ran out of ammu-
milton early in the day and had 10 content
themselves in watching their more fortu-
nate companions bowl over the big game.
Domergue says ne missed deer as large
as mule. and he is still wondering how
he failed to draw blood.
The inanimaie-target shooters will en-
Joy great sport at Monterey during the
tournament which will commence to-day
and finish tomorrow.

Such practice as this affords very little
opportunity to judge OF the merits OF the
various players, yet already the work Of
Ray Smith 49, who took Jeffs' place at
end during the last half of the last
IT, anksgiving game, is attracting some
attention. Perhaps it is because he has
had better opportunities that his work is
noticeable.
OF the freshmen, Wilson, halfback
from Los Angeles, is showing up very
well. He has been appointed temporary
captain of the freshman team.
Next Saturday the freshmen will MAY
Belmont School. This game will afford
the first opportunity of estimating the
strength of the new men.
1t is very probable that Wyckoff will
not represent Stanford in any of this sea-
sons football games. Although COM
parativeiy light man, weighing about 15O
pounds. he Is probably the best and most
reliab Bile full lback on the coast. but unlver-
sity work and the fact that he is married
Will probably keep him out of gridiron
contests.
It is an open race for the honor OF doing
Stanford's punting during the season Of
81. "Chet" Murphy has lost none of his
skill as kicker, but there are two, or per-
haps three other men, who are possible
candidates. Forrest Fisher, the bucking
halfback, is one of them. AS vet he can
not handle punts we'll, but he has an en-
couraging way of driving them down the
field after once landing his instep against
the ball.
Beckett, the pitcher and a tackle on
last years fres hman team, is, though a
trifie slow, punting fairly good distances.
The other man is Ray Smith. Last year
he was never known to Kick ball, but he
is doing so now.

man team, and Garth Parker, sub-half-

courage to announce his opinion regard
less of the fact that i. may be Missed by

well wishes OF all thorough sportsmen.
referee of boxing contest cannot
fight by deciding in favor of any one man
unless the contest ends in knockout, and
even then some people will be heard to
remark that IF Mr.. Referee had done his
duty and separated the com batants when
they were clinched, so and so would have
won beyond shadow of doubt"
The referee of a priZe-hght has no very
pleasant position. and stated before his
decisions are invariably questioned by
some people, who are, as rule, natural
born kickers.
Instead of chiding referee for having
decided IN favor of the man whom he be-
lieved TO be honestly entitled to a de-
cision, the managers of boxing clu bs
should most assuredly encourage and up
hold him, regardless of what the sQueal-
ers who may have lost dollar or so on
the contest believe or think.
1t must not be forgotten by the sport
lovers of this city that in the Eastern
cities the death of boxing was attributed
to too many draw" fights. The sports
became disgusted with draw. draw, draw,
and they finally ceased to patronize the
game in consequence.
The story of how Eastern boxing was
killed reads as follows:
Mr.. Kill-me-q quick and Mr.. Sure-shot,
noted pugilists who were a bit anxious
about their records, could not agree on
the question OF weight-possibIy half a
pound or so-and rather than disappoint

football experience,is rapidly getting into
form.
Football Manager Brown of Berkeley
announced yesterday afternoon that in all
proba bility Frank Simpson, the tackle on
last years football team, will play again
this season. Simpson is attending the
Toland Medical College. At the begin
ming of the term it was not expected that
his work would permit him to try for
football honors.
Changes are being made daily and the
men are being tried at oltferent POSITIONS.
Percy Hall, who played halfback on last

disbanded eleven "Pete" Smith, Sexton
and Tommy" Code. And these men hope
soon to be joined by Abe Lewis and Percy
Morse.
Fortunately, the adopted schedule OF
the seasons games among the big four
teams will not be greatly affected by the
withdrawal of one of the clubs. Reliance
will play the matches that the Army and
Navy team was to have had with the two
universities.
The proposed Army and Navy match
with Reliance on November 20 will be the
only date Cancelled.
Following will be the schedule OF games
at the new grounds, corner of Eighth and
Harrison streets. All but The last will be
played on Saturday:
October 2-California- Reliance.
October 9-Stanford Rel eliance.
October 6-Californis-Reliance.
October 23-Stan o-d-Relience.
October 30-California and Stanford Fresh
men.
November California Reliance,

1t is unlikely that another Army and
Navy team will be organized, as it would
have 10 be composed of enlisted men, there
being no officers available; and privates
would not be in the playing class with the
three big teens.
The pro bable formation of the Reliance
team will be this: Center. Burnett or
Wells; guards Hobbs and "Pete" Smith
tackles, Sexton and Bert Oliver; ends,
Eddie" Sherman and Lanyon, with pos
sibly Abe Lewis; Quarter, Tommy"
Code or Platt; halfbacks, Captain Frick
and Carter, with, Percy Morse, perhaps
fullback, A. Arlett or FELTON, Taylor.

dates.

Another Small Boat Regatta to Be

At meeting of the Corinthians on
Thursday evening it was decided to mold
small.boat regatta in conjunction with
their annual games on October TO- The
regatta will be for yachts under twenty
feet racing length, and will be open to all
recognized yacht clubs on the bay.
The idea of the race is to have the boats
anchored in line at the start and at spe-
CITED time preparatory gun will be fired,
and ten minutes later the starting signal
will be given. The yachts are then sup
posed to slip !heir cal bles, host sails and
sail over the course and at the finish again
anchor. 1t is thought the race will be
sailed over the Ell Campo course, as it
proved splendid one for small boats.
The Corinthians have also appointed a
committee of seven to prepare a suitable
entertainment for their closing day on
