UNIVERSITY TEAMS
ON THE GRIDIRON

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. g.
The varsity lined up against the second
eleven tonight for the last practice prior
to the big game on Saturday. Two halves
were played of five minutes each and dur
ing most Of the time the big team plowed
at will through the second eleven.
Although the coaches would not allow
the varsitymen to oppose the second
eleven for longer than ten minutes, owing
TO fear Of possible injury to the players
and q, desire not to overwork them so soon
before the contest for the season, the
eleven went into the game with such dash
and Vigor that two touchdowns were
scored, one in each of the short halves. A
larger score would have resulted had not
the varsity lost the ball on the second
eleven's two-yard line after bucking them
the length of the gridiron. Fumbling is a
feature Of the big teams play that is
alarming the cardinal rooters. but it is ex-
pected the signal practice and light work
OF the next Two days will overcome this
drawback.
The fact that Tarpey played on the var

would indicate that he is close to the front
in the race for left end; certainly the

AOaYerman was played at the former
position during the entire practice to-

matched; the latter, however, has had two
years varsity experience, which will

night that does not necessarily mean that
he has won the position. for Clark, Pres

ball. Cooper seems to be a fixture at right
end. Barnhisel and Thompson will un-
ooqbtedly be the varsity guards Traeger
and McFadden the tackles, Raitt QUAR-

Fisher and Hill the halves.
Ihe annual football rally occurred in the
assembly hall tonight. Students crowded
the hall as soon as the doors were thrown
open and their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. The hall fairly rang with coll
lege yells and songs and good-natured
baoinage passed freely between the root
ers. Never before has Stanford seen. such
an enthusiastic and successful rally. The
team coaches and President Jordan were
greeted WIN thunder of applause as
aisle OF the hall. The rooters called first
for DR.. Jordan. He said in response:

the preliminary games, but have been saving
