When II became known in Savannah
that United States Marshal John NJ.

ex-Postmaster Joseph F. Doyle will be
an applicant for the place, and that he
will be named by the President. Judge

made by the varsity against the Multi
nomah last Tuesday has been a source
of great encouragement to players,
coaches and the general student body
in view Of the fact that Stanford could
not score on the northern team.
The blue and gold eleven is working
more coherently than heretofore and
several new plays are being practiced.
Coach Hopper is laboring assiduously
to make his men play more rapidly.
There is an opportunity for great i'm
provement in this respect.
The players are all in excellent con-
dition and few calls have to be made
upon the doctors. Heitmuller is do
ing well with the punting and the
ends are getting down faster to nail
the man who catches the ball. The
interference is growing much better.
The men on the rush line are doing
as we'll almost as could be expected
of them, with the exception of the
ends. The quarterback position is
a trifle weak, but Kitrelle and other
candidates for the place are getting
plenty of work cut out for them. A
few tricks have been learned and are
being tried occasionally on the Sec
ond eleven.
Altogether the situation is quite sat
isfatory to those who hope for victory
for California this year.

of the California Cricket Association.
and DR.. o. N. Taylor, vice-captain of
the Pacific Cricket Club, conferred with
John McLaren, superintendent of
Golden Gate Park, recently about the
cricket ground which the Park Com
mssioners propose to provide in the
peoples playground. The site proposed
is on the south side of the Park, to the
south of the Spreckels music stand and
to the west of the polo field. When some
trees have been cut down and grubbed
out and the ground leveled fair
ground can be made. Work will begin
soon
When the great athletic ground is
ready for use. which will not be for
more than a year. there will be a
large, perfectly level space of $50 feet
by $50 feet inside the running track
and the superintendent says that this
might be available for cricket players.
Meanwhile. however. the ground to the
west of the polo field will be prepared.
This is sheltered by well grown trees
and will make a suitable spot for the
game. Cricketers resident in this city
will be delighted to have a ground
within easy reach for practice and
more accessible to spectators than any
field on the Alameda side of the bay

The yachting season on San Fran

inst 1t has been a successful and a

The Corinthian events have passed off
with the usual spirit and eclat, the

by far the largest share of the Mac

ALL AT SEA
ARE CRITICS
OF GRIDIRON
None Darss Hazard an Opinion
as TO Outcome Of Gam3
Next Month.

The championship football game be-
tween the University of California and
the Stanford University teams is only
three weeks distant and none of the
critics dares hazard an opinion to
which squad is the better. A COM
parison of scores furnishes food for ar
gument but gives no light on the situ-
alton. The average eleven from the
Blue and Gold varsity squad of six
teen men is at least a touchdown
stronger than Lanagan's average team
of from twenty-five to thirty men. That
does not prove by any menas that the
number of men who may play for
California can defeat the same num-
Der of cardinal supporters. Lana
gan's wonderful achievement last year
in bringing his men to the pink Of
condition on the day of the big game
leads the critics to conclude he will
do so again next month.
There is such a thing as bringing
men into shape too quickly and then
having them go stale. This is Cali
fornia's greatest danger at present.
Pete" Smith, "All-American" Cava-
naugh and a number of other grid
iron experts believe Coach Hopper is
playing too few men and using them
too hard. flanagan plays his pre-
liminary games exclusively for prac-
tice and gives every possible candidate
for the varsity a chance to show
what he can do. California plays
every game to win.
The Blue and Gold has probably
the best of the argument in running
backs. Kern is the best half in the
Western game to-day, according to
the men who know football and have
seen both teams play. Lasater is GER
tain to gain more ground in the big
contest than "Jim" Weller unless the
Cardinal man learns to get his head
down. Bansbach and Stott are both
superior to Kitrelle at quarter be-
cause of the latter's slowness. Cali
fornia has other candidates for the
position, however. and should be
much stronger in any event for the
big game than she is to-day.
Stroud is in a class by himself at
center, and Stern, Force and Heitmul-
Ter are we'll worthy to help him in
the line. California's ends at pres
ent are inferior to Stanford's In
breaking up plays and getting down
on punts. Up to date the Blue and
Gold line is much better than STAN
fords, but with Sprott and Thompson
back in the game the Cardinal will
make an improved showing. Stanford
needs a strong line to stop Mead,
White. Graves. Kern and Lasater.
Neither team has shown that it
possesses any particularly strong play
if exception is made of the Cardinal
outside-of-ta plunge which Cali
fornia will surely learn how to stop
before November II. Stanford needs
some one who is a sure punter to go
into the championship contest.
If the Blue and Gold detachment
does not go stale and If flanagan
makes the possible and expected im>
provements in his team. the betting
should be even for the big game.

Marked Improvement
Shown in Practice
at Stanford,

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 81.
The week has been fruitful of great
improvement in the playing Of STAN
ford's varsity squad. With the fresh
men out OF the way, the two big
teams have had unhampered posses
sion of the field and undivided atten-
tion from the coaches, a state Of af-
fairs that has shown marked results
already. Another circumstance fa-
vorable to rapid Improvement is the
fact that most of the men who were
of duty on account of injuries have
resumed their moleskins and are
again working back into form.
c. E. Hyde, a strong candidate for
varsity center. is again in the field,
after vacation of two weeks with
water on the knee. West, an aspirant
for right. and who was suffering the
same malady. is able to practice again.
Sunny Jim Weller. the Cardinal star
fuIlback. was sent to bed last night
threatened with a watery kneecap, but
escaped a severe case. He is playing
with a special knee harness imported
from the East to protect him against
a renewal of the injury.
Shields. who injured his hand in the
machine-shop several days ago, is the
only veteran player now off the squad.
II he returns before any further
casualties occur it will be the first
time since the seasons beginning that
Stanford has mustered her full var
sity force.
The advent of two more old players
this week has changed Stanford's out
look materially. W. X. Sprott, who
made his appearance Wednesday, is
one Of the strongest tackles ever pro-
duced by the cardinal The problem
OF organizing a rush line has been sim
pliied by his addition, but has brought
up pretty problem for the coaches.
1t is probable that Shields will be put
back into the center position, where he
was tried for a while recently. and
Freshman Horton substituted in his
old position Of left tackle.
Preston is the other veteran who ap-
peared this week. He will make a
strong try for right end against Smith,
last years varsity player. Preston
made his ''S'' in 1902, but was out with
an injury last season.
Roosevelt and Dole, the two varsity
men who were released from the hos
pital last week. are able to go into the
hardest scrimmage work and their
strength is being felt plainly. Dole's
pUnting is growing more effective
daily.
Twenty minutes scrimmage work be-
tween the first and second elevens has
become a regular part of the daily
routine. In this practice Head Coach
flanagan directs the work of the var
sity, while Assistant Coach Hauver-
man guides the second team. The two
squads seem almost equally strong now
and the varsity has TO put forth every
effort TO secure one touchdown in the
time allowed. Increase Of speed and
better team work mark the practice
each day,
