OLYMPIA FOOTBALL TEAMS
HANDILY WIN TWO GAMES
First Eleven Finds Y. M. C. A. Easy,
and Reserves Had No Trouble in
Routing the Emersons.

After the first team of the Olympia
Athletic Club had scored a signal vic
tory over the Y. NJ. c. A.. IL to 0, on
Saturday afternoon, the Reserves con-
tinued the good work ON Monday by
downing Emerson Institute IL to 0. Both
games were holly contested and we'll
played. The teams were evenly matched
as TO weight and experience, and. al
though the Olympias were hard pressed
at times, the result was never in doubt
The best ground-g gamers in the Y. NJ.
C. A. game were Kerr, Kennedy, Hoover.
and G. Evans. On defensive work Dodge
played brilliantly. Hoover scored a
touchdown in the first half after max
ing fortytive yard run. His interfer-
ence was Kerr. Kennedy scored a
kicked the two goals. For the Y NJ. C.
A. Sutton, James, and Catchings did the
best work, the latter making several
fine tackles and holding the winners
back.
In Mondays game the Reserves were
outweighed, but despite that fact they
piowed through Emerson's line for long
gains and also skirted the ends at will
Hoover scored a touchdown in the first
half and Ford did likewise. Hoover
kicked one goal. but failed on the
other. The FXlersons were unable 10
make any gains owing TO the strength
of their opponents line. Garrett, Kirk
man. and Diamond played a strong
game for Emerson and Magruder's work
at right half was also clever.

.|NGLES|DE RACE COURSE
TO AGAIN Be OPENED
'Frisco's Mayor Signs Ordi-
nance Authorizing Move.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 21.-Ma-
yor Schmitz yesterday signed the ordi-
nance authorizing the reopening of the
/ Ingleside track.
| Under the terms of the ordinance no
pool selling on any of the races is to
be permitted at other places than at the
track, women and minors to be barred
from the betting ring, and the period OF
racing Is to be limited to forty days, a
decrease of twenty days from the time
allowed under the former racing or
dinance.
To supplement these regulations Ma
yor Schmitz on October 10 obtained from
the New California Jockey Club, through
Thomas H. Williams. jr., the president.
written agreement in which it is stip-
ulated that if the bill should be allow
ed to become law not more than $50
days of racing in the aggregate shall lie
held on all the tracks owned by the
club, in this city or elsewhere. The
limit of forty days for Ingleside is also
to hold in the event that the club or its
successors should acquire other tracks
IL this city.
In giving his reasons for approving
the ordinance Mayor Schmitz says that
he is not in favor of making San Fran
cisco a wide open" town. nor is he
in favor of putting it in a strait
jacket" He expresses the opinion that
forty days of racing will not endanger
the morals of the city, while being a
reasonable allowance for the patrons Of
the sport. Furthermore, he adds, the
ordinance is simple license, revokable
at any time should such action be con-
cidarad nocassarv

M7dd1es Hope to Beat
Out the West Pointers
Game With Pennsylvania Today VIII
Furnish Cadets Good Practice.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct 21.-Annapolis
was never before so anxious TO defeat
West Point at football as this year, but
the bare fact is that the chances were
never poorer.
The navy has not played really
strong game this season. The score oil
Princeton, II TO 0, was creditable on the
face of it. but it was played in storm
of rain, which made the field sloppy and
prevented the fast play necessary to run
up score.
Everybody agrees that something must
be done. Although there are hardly any
stars, material is as heavy as ever
before, and of fair quality, but it is
realized that, barring a chance. every
thing looks like West Point this year
Belknap. Carpenter. and Fretz. the CEN
ter trio, form an average team, but
average only. Grady and Aiken. the
tackles, are new men. and are better
than Rogers and Schlabach. who were

first. tried, ard in Whiting and Soule the
navy has two ends who compare favor
ably with most of the visiting teams.
1t is back of the line where a change
must be brought about. In Smith the
navy has a really brilliant player, the
only absolutely frst-class man on the
team, but he is very liable to injury.
With Smith in the game the team is
half again stronger. Decker may not play
again, and this is unfortunate, as he
was showing up better than any Of the
ground gamers.
This leaves Strassburger, who is a
rather good back. and Halsey, who is
strong and shows much Improvement by
practice, as probable permanencies in
the back field, with the other half to be
filled by Doherty. Howard, Shoup, or
McNair, none of whom appear to be very
strong players. The regular coaches,
and Edwards. are hard at
work. however, and have had the as
sistance of Nat" Poe.

In an interview yesterday with a
leading official of the Santa Fe pass
enger department, he state0 that the
late winter and early spring home
seekers excursions to the Southwest
had been remarkably well patronized.
Hundreds OF persons took advantage
of the low rates. While some merely
went for a visit among friends. many
we're so delighted with the country
that they will soon return to settle on
farm, engage in mercantile business,
run a stock ranch or pick out loca.
ton for their boys.
The greatest rush was to Oklaho-
ma; but Kansas received a large
share of travel and a goodly number
were attracted by the rich mines ana
irrigated lands of Colorado New Mex
leo, Arizona and California. The
Pecos, Arkansas and San Joaquin val
leys attracted great interest and sew
eral large colonies win settle there.
The Santa re freight department re-
ports an unusually neavy traffic In
emigrant moyables.
Similar excursions will be run over
the Santa Fe the first and third Tues
day of May. fhe round trip rate Will
be one fare plus 81. 1t is expected
that similar rates will continue for
the summer months.
