FOOTBALL RALLIES ARE
IN ORDER AT BERKELEY
GRIDIRON HEROES CHEEREI
TO THE ECHO.
Sickness at Training Quarters Neces-
states Their Abandonment for
Few Days.

BERKELEY, Nov 25.-wIth the near
approach OF the big Thanksgiving game
football is the all-absorbing topic at the
University OF California. All the students
10 say nothing of the members OF the fac
ulty, are looking forward eagerly to the
one great day of the college calendar, the
day on which the blue and gold lines up
against the cardinal for the great annual
tussle with the pigskin.
While the utmost enthusiasm and ccn-
fidence seems to prevail there has not
been the slightest relaxing of the strict
discipline which the men have to undergo
in preparation for the battle. Regular
systematic practice is kept up. The only
noticeable change since last week is the
almost eXtraVagant degree TO which the
enthusiasm OF the whole student body
has grown. This afternoon IL broke out
stronger than ever; on the eve of battle
IL will be intense.
Monster rallies are the order OF the day
and they are carried out on a scale far
exceeding anything in the traditions of
the college.
This afternoon as the team lined up for
a short, snappy practice the bleachcrs
were packed. and yell after yell went up
to encourage the men on the gridiron. AS
soon as play was over the whole mob
surged up to the gymnasium TO listen TO
impromptu speeches. Cochran, Kelly,
men Of the team. not omitting some of the
instructors, mounted the rostrum in turn
to provoke unbounded applause for the
prospects of the blue and gold. The same
was done last night. and will probably be
repeated until Wednesday.
Cochran has decided 10 give his men two
more days of work. Monday afternoon the
varsity lineup. the same that is TO face
Stanford in the big game. win have a
Their last day will come Tuesday
Wednesday is TO be devoted TO light signal
work, and then the last touches will have
been put on.
Cheering at the game will be led this
year. as last. by the college Rooters' Club
Some 500 of the students, decked in blue
and gold caps, are to have a section spe-
cially reserved for them. A yell leader
will direct all the cheering. as well as the
number Of rooters' songs which have been
composed for the occasion.
A temporary abandonment of the train
ing quarters on the campus was made
necessary to-day owing to the sickness OF
one of the helpers IN the kitchen The
man came down with typhoid pneumonia
this morning. and as precautionary
measure the quarters have been thorough
ly fumigated and will not be ready for
use again until Monday morning In the
meantime arrangements have been made
for the men to take their meals in Oak
land.
