NEVADA To FACE
MICHIGAN TEAM
Football Contest. for San
Francisco on Christ
mas Day.
Mountaineers Will Attempt
to Defeat the Men
From the East.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. 16.-
According to a personal letter received
from Reno, Nevada, by a Stanford stu
dent, football game in San Francisco
on Christmas day between the eleven
from the University of Michigan and the
Nevada State University team is a GER
tainty.
Michigan had challenged Nevada TO a
game on that day, and the sagebrush ag
gregation seemed willing to meet them.
The challenge had not peen accepted at
the time the letter was written, but the
writer said it would be forthwith. The
Nevadans realize that they are going
against hard proposition, but they nave
done so before and acquitted themselves
cre6itably.
Nevada has played both Stanford and
California this season, being defeated in
eaen game BY the score OF Y TO Q, after
victory was over the Reliance eleven by
a score of IL to 0. The sagebrush eleven
also defeated the University of Utah
team, scoring . points TO their oppo-
nentS 2.
Among the Nevada players, Riordan at
tackle has played star game all through
the season, doing as fine work at his po-
S1t1on as has been seen on the coast;
Hunter at center and Keddie and Gra-
ham behind the line play straight, hard
varsity ball.
The personnel of the cardinal eleven,
as it will line up against Michigan in
Pasadena, will not be announced by Cap
tain F1Sher until thursday, the day be-
fore the squad leaves for Southern Cali
fornia. One thing is certain-there will
be several changes to the lineup as it
met California. Traeger and Hill are
both on the sick list and it seems improb-
able that they will be in shape to play
against the men from the Middle West.
Chester Naramore, varsity hurdler and
half-back on last years strong second
eleven team, will go south with the team
and will probably appear behind the line
Naramore has not been seen on the grid
iron before this season, owing to the fact
that his left arm was fractured by fall
during a hurdle race in the intercollegiate
meet last spring. Alex McGilvray, '04,
is making his initial appearance in the
field. McGilvray is a remarkably fast,
heady player and probably will appear at
end during the game.
Joseph de rorest, Bate" Burnett and
Tom McFadden, former varsity players,
will not be in the lineup against Michi-
gan.
Captain Fisher and twenty other foot
ball players are going through nightly
practice at tackling the dummy" catch
ing the ball and running through signals.
The men are entering into the work with
the proper spirit and should be in good
condition to put up hard game on New
Years day Strict training rules are be-
ing enforced and violation of them means
expulsion from the squad

Wheel Of Fortune Will
Figure at Charity
Ball.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SPOKANE, Dec. 16.-Gambling will be
a feature of the annual charity ball to
occur in the .parlors of Hotel Spokane
on Tuesday night. A big wheel of for
tune, borrowed from the notorious
Coeur d,Alene, the largest sporting-house
in the Northwest, will be operated by
four society women, under the direction
Of Dutch jake" proprietor OF the Occur
d'Alene. The wheel will pay on numbers
as in regular play. Cash, not prizes, will
be paid, the house starting with a heavy
bank roll.
AS the wheel is what is known as a
percentage game, there Is no chance for
the house to lose. Dutch Jake" will see
that the wheel is run 'on the square, .
and the spectacle will be presented of the
most notorious sporting character in
Spokane rubbing elbows with the leading
society women. The innovation was de-
cided upon tonight and is causing much
comment.

VANCOUVER. B. c.. Dec. 16-Northern
mails which arrived this morning by the
steamer Cottage City were much reduced
from the amount that left Dawson for
the outside, and what few sacks did come
were in a dilapidated condition. While
they were being brought across Lake LIE
Barge in sleigh, with a double team of
horses attached, the newly frozen ice
broke through. The entire consignment
was soaked with water and nearly half
of the sacks were lost. The horses were
drowned and the driver nearly lost his
life. He went ashore and obtained help,
and one by one several of the mail sacks
were fished out.
The Christmas mail was coming out and
a good portion Of it is now at the bottom
ceived them the water soaked sacks were
a solid cake Of ice.
Only a few passengers came over the
ice from Dawson and they found the go
ing very rough.
Two Juneau men will travel 1000 miles
each with dog teams this winter carrying
the United States mails between Katmai
and st. Michael. They are Chauncey d.
Shaw, who has resigned as associate ed
itor of the Juneau Mining Record to un-
dertake this dangerous work, and John
Carter, an experienced frontierSman. Car
ter left here some time ago for St. Mi
chael, with the expectation of starting
from there for Katmai about December IL.
Shaw left Juneau ten days ago for Val
des, whence he will take dogs and sledS
aboard the steamer Discovery for Kat
mai. 1t will take him tWenty-eight days
to reach st. Michael. From Katmai he
will be accompanied by native Indian
guides. They expect to reach st. Michael
early in January.
Each carrier will make one round trip
and then return to the other end of the
route, thus giving him three trips each
way-one each in December, January and

New Orleans Confers
With President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16.-Arch-

is acting as his secretary. The Archbishop
went over the situation at some length
with the President, but declined to say
anything for publication regarding his in
terview. He will see Secretary Root to-
morrow and will then go to New Orleans.
He will return to Washington early In
January, when it Is expected that some
definite conclusions as to the church prop
erty will be reached.

DON GIRLS GARB
At COED DANCE
Two Youths Invade an
Exclusive College

Escape Feminine Wrath by
Leaping Through
Windows.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SEATTLE, Dec. 16.-The dornitory girls
at the university held an exclusive mask
ball on Saturday evening. During a cake
walk one or the girls chanced to glance
o6yn at the feet OF the couple Just before
he, and in an instant became satisfied
that the owners Of those feet were not
girls The pedal exuemities were too
large, the soles OF the shoes were too
thick and the actions of the dancers be-
spoke all too plainly the masculine.
As the suspicious couple again circled
the hall and passed her at the lower end
sne made q determined grab. Her femi-
nine nngerS closed around a wig. There
was 8 quick jerk and wig, false face and
disappeared the short cropped head of q
boy came into view.
Hastily running down the long hallway,
the boys reached the front door. They
grasped the knob and gave a quick, strong
pull. It was locked. They turned to start
lace TO face with a mob of femininity.
They stopped, Of course There was then
but one alternative and the boys took it.
We've got TO DO it, old man." said ono
OF them.
Ducl1ing his head and covering his face
with his arms, he gave one flying leap.
L here was a crash, followed by the sound
OF heavy fall as boy, glass and window
sash disappeared into the night. The first
crash was followed almost instantly by
another, as the second lad made a flying
leap through a window.
II was a desperate chance to take, but
the boys took IL. AS a consequence there
is much speculation among the girls as
70 who the intruders were. The girls all
vowed to keep il quiet but they also
agreed to watch the hands and face OF
every boy they knew to ascertain which
ores were cut by broken glass.

MISSING COUPLE
ARE HEARD FROM
Los Angeles Now the
Homefof Bakersfield
Elopers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WOODLAND, Dec. 16.-Relatives of Miss
Belle Kline, the Bakersfield girl who, in
company with William Martin, disap-
peared from that city on November 22
need have no further misgivings as TO
her safety. Both of the young persons
are still alive. They are now husband and
wife and are living in Los Angeles.
1t was announced here recently that
Benjamin A Martin. a brother of the
missing man, had received a letter from
the latter, announcing his marriage to
Miss Kline, and this publication quieted
the fears of the young ladys parents. But
it was announced from the Kern County
Sheriff's Office on Saturday that a letter
had been received from Benjamin A.
Martin asking for information regarding
the whereabouts of his brother, this indl-
eating that the Woodland man had not
received the reported news from Los An
geles. To-day Benjamin A. Martin ex-
planned this and declared that there need
be no further fear that the missing
living. He said the letter he wrote to
the Kern Sheriff asking for information
was mailed before he had heard from his
brother. The miSSive from Los Angeles
came as was reported and conveyed the
information that William Martin and
Miss Kline had married after leaving
Bakersfield and were living in Los An
geles.
The elopers gave no reason for their
strange move, and as there was no op-
position to their wedding on the part of
relatives, their conduct Is inexplicable.
For weeks the Kern County authorities
have conducted a diligent search for
among the living has been constantly
growing.

MISS IVES A WINNER
ON PRESIDE LINKS
Captures Trophy Offered by Direct
ors of San Francisco Golf Club
for Driving Contest.

On account of the rapid approach of
Christmas not many ladies are to be seen
on the Preside links. The driving com
petition for lady members of the San
Francisco Golf Club yesterday morning
attracted only four entries, though a
handsome cup was offered by the direct
ors for the winner. Each contestant drove
four balls from the teeing ground toward
the bunker, the total distance of the four
ence Ives won with total of 404' yards,
Mrs. R. Gilman Brown being second with
a total of 403 yards. Miss Edith Mclean
and Mrs. Laurance T. Scott also COM
peted. A strong north wind interfered
considerably with the driving, the strokes
being made right in the teeth of it.
The ladies will hold no more competi-
tions during the present year but early
in the new year a contest for the Coun-
cil's cup for ladies will take place.

Josie G, Plohn and finally FL Oriente,
with saddening effect on the talent
1t has all along been conceded that
Josie G was a spanking good fllly, but
yesterday it was scarcely thought she
could lower the colors of Botany. Then
again Howson, who rides her, is not such
a polished horseman as some of the
other boys. For this reason Botany, pilot
ed by Bullman, closed faVOrite at to 5,
while to could be had in profusion
about Josie G. Glendenning, the stanch
second choice, went out to make the pace
at the start trailed by the favorite.
Turning into the stretch Howson saved
ground with Josie G and soon had Bull

having fallen back beaten. Finishing on
the rail Josie G. seemed fittest and slowed
the favOrite away by neck. The Futuri-
ty course was covered in ITO, an excellent
run.
Owen Mounce came very near taking
matters too easy with Frank Bell in the
Introductory five and a half furlong dash.
The son of Big Henry closed a 1 to 4
chance, and at the finish had to be ridden
out to get the decision from The Miller
by a head. Ransch took the show with
Pompino.
Big things were expected of Harry Sto-
Ver's Free Lance in the mile and a, six

was meeting a very cheap batch Of plat
ers. The chestnut horse closed favorite,
and ran unplaced. Mont Eagle, Il to

Mounce made a late move with the latter,
or he would have won.
Bullman seems able to get more speed
out of Plohn than any of the other riders.
P. Ryan's entry went to the post to
chance for the seven-furlong humber and
in a drive overlook and downed Duckoy
half a length. Lee Jackson, on the ia
vorite Native, tried to run through a gas
pipe and climb one or two kopjes in the
stretch. and getting repulsed in all three
attempts finished third.

favorite, did manage to beat Merops for

Among the big winners in the ring was
George Rose, whose sheets showed a
cleanup of over $4500.
Roscoe Troxler an extremely clever boy
in the saddle, will arrive at Oakland next
Friday. He comes under engagement to
w. w. Elliott, owner of Hilee and other
horses.
Joseph Flynn received word from Texas
yesterday that his brother Willie died
last week at ST. Joseph's Infirmary, Hous-
ton, of pneumonia. The deceased jockey
had been riding over the Texas circuit
the past season, but was well known in
this State, at one time promising to de-
velop into q star.
When Lee jackson first showed at Oak
land he rode two three very creditable
races. However, with one or two more
exhibitions like those on Native and Wy
oming, those former efforts will be put
down as jokes, and Lee will be relegated
to the stable boy class.
The first hurdle race of the season will
be given at the track over the bay this
afternoon. Good things will ripen faster
now than strawberries in July.
Dick Dwyer handled the starting gate
at Oakland yesterday, Jake Hoffman re-
firing for a couple of weeks.
