interesting Game Is Expected To-Day on Stanford
Campus---Few Changes in Berkeley Team.

- ERKELEY, Sept. H.-The lineup
x of the football men at the Univer
- sity of California this week gave
the enthusiasts their first chance
TO see of what material the varsity team
viii be made. Taking it altogether. there
does not seem to be any great difference
between this years team and last. The
list is filed with the names of men who
made the varsity last year and with those
who nearly did So A number Of really
good men will be kept out of the team
this year for this reason. there being too
many old-timers left over to give any
body else a chance.
Stroud, center; Overall, right guard;
Stow. left guard, and Howard, left tackle,
are men whose positions are already as
sured. They have had the experience that
comes from intercollegiate playing and
besides are big men and clever. Howard
was varsity substitute last year. He
went into the intercollegiate game after
Albertson had been injured early in the
play.
It is a "toss up" between Heitmuller
and Forse for right tackle. Heitmuller
however. was so confident that he would
get the place that he did not begin prac-
ticing until Wednesday Of this week.
Forse is a big man with good head and
would have played last year had he been
eligible.
Hudson is a candidate for his old posi-
ton of right end but as he has been i'll
for a week with malarial fever he may
be prevented from playing altogether. In
HIS place the coaches have been trying
various men of the second eleven
The left end station will probably go
to Demeritt. though he has a sturdy op-
ponent in Craig. who is playing against
him on the second eleven. Demeritt was
a substitute last year.
Jack Whipple and Graves will fight It
out for the honor of playing right half.
Whipple played full back last year on the
varsity. This year he is making a try
for right half. Graves played for a time
last year, but got out Of the game early
in the season when other matters en-
gagged his attention.
Three men-Muther Risley and Snedi-
gar-are out for left half. Muther and
RSsley were varsity substitutes last year
and had the advantage of playing in
the preliminary games. Snedigar is play
ing a good, stiff game now on the second
eleven.
Boynton and Stems are rivals for fun
back, with the chances leaning toward
Boynton Boynton was full back and cap
tain Of last years freshmen team. BY
some Of the critics he is considered a
better player in that difficult position
than even Whipple was last year.
More finally got into the game again
Wednesday after flirting around for a
week or so making up his mind whether
he would play or not. He has played
three years with the varsity and knows
the game thoroughly. Belknap, who has
played with Dartmouth and last Sears
alumni team, and Geary. who was a var
sity substitute and captain of the second
eleven last year, are Mores opponents.
1t is hard to tell just how the fresh
man team will line up There are eighty
freshmen on the field every day, all de-
termined to win a place on the team by
exhibiting immense amount of dash
and fight. so that it is no easy Job to
pick out q team.
Barton is the freshman most likely to
! play center. He is a big fellow. weigh
ing something like 230 pounds and with
considerable speed notwithstanding the
avoirdupois. Allen will probably play
left guard. His weight is 2O5 pounds
Jackson, another big man, will play left
guard. The candidates with the best
! chances of making the team are: Cen
! ter-Barton, Haley; guards-AIlen, Allison
Killian. Jackson; taclxles-Eggers. Swee-
| ney, Clark. Lachman; eIds-Camanetti
/ ellis, Kleinschmidt, Stevens, Willard
! alf-backs-Tweedie Kern, Taylor. Crow;
! fullbacks - Gabriel, Booth, Schaufele;
! quarter backs-Sell, Hanna.
