BERKELEY, Nov. 17-All Berkeley Is
thinking and talking of football. So I'M
usual is the interest manifested this year
over the gridiron, that old collegians de-
clare the university never to have known
such uniform outburst of college spirit
before.
The excitement gets more intense as
| final preparations for the great struggle
| grow apace. Cochran has decided to stop
all regular practice next Monday after
noon, thus giving the men but three more
days to put on the finishing touches
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week
will be taken up with signal practice
The same large number of spectators
continues to line the field at the after
noon games. Added to the yelling, which
is decidedly more original than in pre-
vfous years, the noise from the bleachers
has been improved by the addition of the
university band. The latter is a notice
able help in leading the football songs and
| relieving the rooters from making all the
noise all the time. Blue and Gold will not
lack for ardent support when it faces the
Cardinal next Thanksgiving day
Cochran is very reserved in his opinion
| about the men. He gives them no undue
eInico9ra az on the contrary, he in
| cnnes to the opposite course Thus far
! IN the season the team has not shown
itself to the best advantage" he says,
and 1t ought to improve at least 100
1
Thursday. I wish l could impress upon
the seniors that this is their last year in
college, and that from them at least the
very best effort possible should be forth
coming. 1 am a little disappointed IN the
! way some of the men fall when tackled
| 1t is almost impossible to keep an East
ern runner from gaining his length after
being tackled, while out here man goes
down at the least touch. 1t looks as
thrown TO defeat Stanford involves "a q
| very great Improvement in the team, and
this can "a c, only be brought about by the
most faithful, conscientious work"
To-night's reception to the football men
at Harmon Gymnasium was one of the
| largest gatherings this season. The whole
both faculty and student body. The AS,
| ISOLATED Women Students acted as host
esses of the evening. Music was furnished
by the band. the Women's Glee Club and
the University of California Glee Club

This mornings sale of seats for the
game was unprecedented. Although the
SAFE Olu NOT DeSln iii y O CLOCK, as early
as some of the students living in the

door. At o'clock the line was long

freely offered for places below the one
