rivals from Claremont. The Pomona eleven
outweigh their opponents, and have
strengthened their offensive work by placing
Captain Wharton at left half Rood changes
from half td Wharton's former place at left
end. They have put in the past three weeks
in hard practice, and will give the wearers
OF the cardinal and gold hard game from
start to finish. Judging from past games
the two teams are about evenly matched,
and have equal chances to win.
On the afternoon of THANKSGIVING day
the high school team will play at Athletic
park as an additional attraction to the
bicycle races. Their opponents have not
been definitely chosen.
The University team will line up against
the eleven of the First battalion of the Sew
enth regiment at Fiesta park on the after
noon of next Saturday, the Goth The pro.
ceeds OF the game will be turned over to the
monument fund of the Seventh, and a large
crowd should turn out. The members OF
the soldier eleven have been playing together
for two or three months, and some of them
are old college players. They are: First

Cox, Privates Funk, Kincher, Mort and

team.
The sale of seats for the Stanford Berkeley
Thanksgiving game opened with rush, and
the management expects to take in $4,000
at the game. The excellent chances Of the
California men to give Stanford hard game,
and probably a drubbing, has aroused un-
precedented interest in San Francisco, and
the biggest crowd in the history of the inter-
collegiate contests will watch the battle next

all veterans. The Stanford eleven have not
