e TANFoRD UNIVERSITY. Oct.
SszsM Improvement in the football
%zaa& teams, particularly the fresh
man, has been quite marked this week.
While the weather has been decidedly
warm for hard work, the men seem to get
into the game with much more snap than
they did last week. Undoubtedly the i'm
proved condition and spirit of the men is
due in a large measure to the strict train
ing rules enforced since Monday and to
the fact that they have been eating at
the training table under the supervision
of Trainer DAD Moulton during the
week. After the game with Reliance Sat-
urday the coaches decided that something
must be done to put more life into the
players. AS result an order was issued
Monday that candidates for the football
teams must refrain from attending dances
and other social functions during the foot
ball season.
The freshman team is gradually round
ing into FORM and the cardinals hopes for
q victory over the California youngsters
on the 18th inst, are rising corresponding
the season showed so little class spirit
and interest in the game that the coaches
became discouraged at the outlook,
On the big eleven Fluffy Traeger is
the particular star, his place-kicking be-
ing feature of the practice, The coaches
have been trying him at end, and the big
fellow may play that position instead of
tackle.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1901-10-13

AzzzdW Of the individual and team play
ing on the University of California eleven
has been decidedly marked. The men
have increased in ability in a satisfactory
way, although there is of course still
much to accomplish before the big game,
less than a month away.
In the Olympic game Of last Saturday
the CaIifornians several times failed to
concentrate their efforts at critical mo-
ments. After playing in splendid style
until the goal line was within their reach.
they would go to pieces and fail to score.
This lack of united effort was noticeable
throughout the game. Recent practice is
eliminating this.
Gendotti now has Freshman Morehead
as an opposing candidate for center, The
new man is heavier than Gendotti but is
less certain in passing the ball. He is,
however developing into a promising
rival for the older man. Overall, at right
guard, is playing a steady, reliable game,
When opposed to Cadwalader in the
Olympic struggle he was able to play even
with that veteran in spite Of tho club
mans superior weight. His punting Is
strong and reliable.
More and Hudson are trying out for
quarter and are making an even race for
it. Hudson is playing remarkably we'll,

Manager Decoto has been instructed TO
look carefully into the financial side of
the matter and if necessary funds can
be secured the team will go. An early de-
cision is wanted as the men wish to make
dates soon possible for meets next

would like also to take part IN the Mott

Give Him a Chance.

Give the old soldier chance. The
old fellow won't be with us long. Let
him have a show for Office. Don't kick
and thump him around so hard. He'll
not stand in your way long. Once he
stood between your homes and its en-,
emies. He drove them back and
preserved the nation; now give him q
fair chance with the stay-at-homes,
You owe'it to him. He deserves it. He
generally stands aside for the machine
politician and hardly ever complains.
Let him into Office where he can earn
his bread and butter for those depend
ing upon without bending his back be-
meath load of toll all the time. Show
a little gratitude. We know the old
soldier vote is not as potential as it used
to be, and is becoming less every day,
but this ought rather to be in his favor
than against him.

Valdez Business College and Normal
School.


The above schools offer to its patrons
well rounded education that prepares
students for the practical side of life;
they are for the common people, they
are truly the peoples college. Their
history is one ofunbroken progress and
achievement. AT home and through
out the northwest young ladies and
gentlemen who were educated in these
schools are making grand successes and
good citizens. And why should they
not? The policy of their management
has been, and is now, to employ only
the very best talent. Whenever va.
cancy occurred the position vacated
was filled by equally as good, if not by
better talens. Never in the education.
al history of our country, were there SC
many applications from teachers as
now. Able college men and women
are seeking employment. There is nc
excuse for not employing first class in
structors We are pleased to note that
no backward step has been taken by
Prof. Valdez in his selection of his corps
of teachers for 1901 and 1902. Professor
Colleen, the Normal principal, as is
well known, is worker, practical,
Jealous and earnest, and possesses extern
sive experience which no young teach.
er can command because first efforts
are largely experimental. We venture
the assertion that during his regime as
city superintendent of the DEBORAH
schools, he was instrumental in educat-
ing more young men and women who
have distinguished themselves in the
different walks of life, than has any
other incumbent either before or since
his superintendeucy, Notwithstanding
the advanced educational facilities OF
recent years. And it is well known
fact that DEBORAH has had number of
strong men at the head of her schools.
Prof. Thompson, the Business G l.
lege principal was a teacher in the Val
uOi ASuoiuCSo SVitCSc duu 4NOIuldi
School eleven years ago. AT that time
he commanded the confidence and es-
TEEN of his pupils for the marked abil-
ity he displayed as teacher. He was
considered the most available man
among SIS applicants for his present po-
sition. During his absence from the
Valdez schools he has com pleted the
four years scientific course in the Min
neapolis Academy, and the two years
Teachers course in the University at
Minneapolis, and has had several years
experience in the Normal and in Gem
mercial work. He will teach three
classes daily in the Normal. That he
is modern educator, fully abreast of
the times, and an instructor of unques-
toned ability will be verified as soon
as he enters upon his school duties.
The other instructors have rendered
the highest satisfaction wherever they
have been employed and all have been
selected because of their ability and
worth in special work.
We congratulate Prof. Valdez upon
his business judgment ia selecting his
faculty and we bespeak for him contin-
ual success in his school work.
