LICK TO PLAY POLYTECHNIC.
Sensational Game Expected When
These High School EIevens Meet.


The football atmosphere OF the
Academic Athletic League has been
cleared and from now on there will
be less squabbling and more playing
Lick's protest against Polytechnic was
not sustained and these two teams
will have to play off their tie game
Lick will appeal, but in the meantime
the game will be played and the ques-
ton Of supremacy between them set
tied. The same thing happened last
year. Polytechnic protested Lick and
in the meantime played and lost to
the latter school. Subsequently the
protest was sustained and Polytechnic,
although beaten decisively by Lick,
was declared champion OF the sub
league.
Polytechnic played Berkeley High
in the finals and was beaten. The
score was close and many figured that
Lick would have beaten Berkeley.
One thing was proved last year, and
that was that the best team did not
win. The rivalry between the city
teams is even more keen than that
between the teams from different
sides of the bay.
Lick and Polytechnic are undoubt-
edly the best high school teams in the
city and that they are evenly matched
was demonstrated when they met two
weeks ago. Neither side scored and
neither had a perceptible advantage.
The game must be played or not lat
er than the 18th inst. 1t is needless
to say that coaches and players will
do their utmost next week to put the
strongest team possible in the field.
When these two teams come together
probably the best academic game ever
played in the city will result. Neither
team has lost a game. Polytechnic
was scored against by Mission, but
won easily.
Lowell has lost twice and Mission
and Wilmerding have withdrawn. so
that the game between Lick and Poly
technic will decide the local suprem-
acy. Mission, although beaten only
once and then not badly beaten.
either. got enough and would not play
Lick during the week. The default
ing team should have been fined for
not sending word beforehand OF the
intention not to play.
The fine Of $25 imposed upon Polv-
technic will undoubtedly have a ten
dency to make the teams live up to
the rules and be less Independents
Stringent measures are needed and
that they will be resorted to was
proved at the committee meeting.

INTEREST SHOWN
IN COMING GAME
Meeting of the Olympic and
California ElevenS To-Day
Should Prove Exciting

BERKELEY, Oct THE football
players and enthusiasts of the Univer-
sity of California are looking forward
with a great deal of interest to to-mor-
rows game between the varsity and the
Olympic team. The eleven from the
club across the bay felt sure of winning
the contest scheduled to take place Sep
tember "A, and would surely have put
up a warm fight if the game had not
been called off. California will be much
stronger tomorrow than she was two
weeks ago, and if the visitors win they
viii earn their victory we'll. The ground
Will be wet on account of the rain, and
a considerable amount of fumbling may
be expected.
Last Saturdays game with the Sher-
man Indians has raised the spirits of
every one who hopes that the blue and
gold will carry off the championship
this year. The varsity played admira-
bly,, and if the squad can continue i'm
proving as fast for the next five weeks
as ii has for the last three Stanford
will have a run for its money. In spite
of the fact that several of the best men
of last year are not playing this season.
there are some new boys who are likely
to perform wonders before the last
game is over.
Sperry stands a chance of becoming
a splendid back. He has the strength
bulk and speed which go to make up a
crackajack. Mead is another man who
will help make the scores look big
Stern and Force are doing finely in the
line, and from present indications they
will not be so easy for Stanford as some
Of the center men were last year. oliver
is good for one end and Howard for the
other, although Caminetti or Henry
may crowd one Of them out Heitmul-
Ter is, of course, a tower Of strength.
Gray is doing well at guard, and White
and Lassater have good chances to
start in the big game if they keep at
work.
Competition for nearly every place Is
keen, and that is bound to raise the
standard of the team. Practice has
been going on regularly all the week
Every aspirant with any kind of abil-
ity is getting show, and the lineup
for the supreme struggle will consist
of the eleven best men.
The men are getting plenty of falling
on the ball, catching punts, stopping
line and end plays and breaking inter-
ference. Every day there are large
crowds Of spectators. and none of the
men are allowed to forget that they are
working for California. During the
week the men who are most likely can
didates have been sent to quarters and
the training table, where they will get
all the care a good athlete needs.
The rumors that some men were
breaking training have subsided, and
with the close watch that is being kept
by the coaches little further trouble of
that variety may be expected. The in
juries suffered by the men thus far
have been slight, which goes to show
that their condition on the whole is
good. After tomorrow comparisons can
be made with the team that supports
the cardinal. and coaches and prognos-
ticators will find their way a trifie
lighter.

Her Identification Mark.

A charmingly dressed young lady
with certain knowing air about her
was seen to enter a Chestnut street
bank the other day. The writer
was just behind and, having bust
ness at the same financial institu-
ton, followed this attractive daugh-
ter of Eve. She hurried to the first
window, only to be told to take her
place in line. AS she had entered
the building first, the writer allowed
her to take his position. The lady
showed certain amount Of impa-
thence owing to the delay in getting
TO the head of the line, but once she
had the paying teller's attention she
offered him a check.
"But," said the officer, "you must
get some one to identify you"
The lady looked at him a mo-
ment, but solution soon presented
itself to her, and she replied:
ooh, certainly; you can identify
me by this mole under my lip"
And when she left that window
after five minutes of useless argu-
ment her face had lost that charm
ing smile which it originally wore.

A DRAMATIC INCIDENT.
Tho Climax Of Banks Night at a Mas.
querade Ball.

querade Ball.
When Banks, who had been mar
ried only q few months, went home
and told his wife he had accepted
an invitation to a bachelor dinner
he expected her to object. Instead
she urged him to 60.
The dinner over, one of the party
remembered that the Arion ball was
being given and proposed that they
all 60. The proposition was ac-
cepted, but not without hesitation
ON the part of Banks. Once at the
ball, however, Banks became as gay
as the gayest, His scruples were
forgotten, and he enjoyed himself
to the limit until he saw in the gay
crowd woman who seemed strange
ly familiar. She was masked, but
she wore the costume his wife late
ly had purchased for an approach
ing private masquerade ball, He
could swear to the costume,
1t suddenly dawned on Banks
that this really was his wife, whom
he had supposed to be home asleep.
The woman was leaning on the arm
of tall stranger, who appeared to
be devoted to her.
To make certain of his suspicious
Banks passed the domino and placed
himself so that the couple must pass
close ia him, On they came, arm in
arm, chatting, but when the woman
caught sight Of Banks she started
like guilty thing and, dropping the
mans arm, fled.
Banks hurried after her, and
when he finally eornered her she
covered down on q seat and, unable
to utter word, extended her hand
as if begging for mercy.
Torgive me" she pleaded, "and
/ promise YOU
Before she had completed the SEN
tence Banks tore the mask off her
face. Then he gasped. The wom-
an was his wife's maid. She had
pnrloined the costume of her mis-
tress and worn it to the ball.
Banks did not tell his wife, be-
cause she might inquire why he was

Magic Milk.

One can create no end of amuse
ment with this magic milk. 1t can be
made to tell fortunes, disclose wheth-
er one is in love or not, make known
secrets, and divulge hidden things
in general; and yet it is founded up
on a scientific principle that is well
worth knowing.
Lime-water is transparent, and as
clear as drinking-water; but if one
breathes into it the transparency
will be lost, and it will become opales-
cent, and as white as milk.
To prepare this lime-water one
must put powdered quicklime into
a bottle full of cold water, shake
it well several times during the day,
then allow the bottle to stand until
the next day, when the water
can readily be poured off from the
sediment
