STANFORD LOSES
CRACK HURDLERS
Kuhn, NaramOre and Weller
Will Not Sport the Cardinal
in the intercollegiate Meet

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. s.
The track men have already begun Sc
rious training for the contest with the
University of California in April and
from now on the strictest of training
rules will be observed by ali candi-
dates for the varsity team. The rainy
weather during the latter part of the
week has interfered with work on both
the track and the diamond, but at this
early part of the season a few days
Of idleness will have no apparent eff
feet on the ultimate condition of the
teams.
Stanford's track team this year judg
ing from present indications, will not
be the strong aggregation which every
one expected it would be after the in
tercollegiate meet last year. Many of
the men who were expected to con-
tinue at college have LEFT and in other
ways the team has been so crippled
that Trainer Dad" Moulton faces the
proposition of building up almost an
entire new team.
The three hurdlers who were in col
lege last year-Kuhn, Naramore and
Weller-have left leaving both the
hurdles open events. Crawford, who
won first place in the hammer throw
is not eligible because he is acting as
a paid assistant in the chemistry de-
partment With Weller out of college,
an entirely new bunch of men will
have to be tried out for that event
Thomson, who won the half mile with
ease last year, has also left college.
Hawley, the crack sprinter, graduated
with the class of 1903, and Captain Nc
Caughern viii also be missed in the
sprints.> Pie" Smith, quarter miller
and relay man, is another of the car
dinaFs point winners who has been lost
by graduation.
The only men at present on the track
who have won their varsity emblems
are Captain Holman in the distances,
Dunn and Crossman in the 440-yard
run, Dole and Beach in the pole vault
Bell and Henley in the jumps and Hyde
in the shot put.
Unless the weather is much improved
tomorrow and the diamond in condi-
ticn to be played on the game between
the varsity nine and Cliff Ireland's In
dependents will be Cancelled.

LADIES TO GOLF
At THE PRESIDE
Last Competition of Present
Season for Councils Cup
Commences Tuesday Morning

On Tuesday morning, beginning at
$3.50. the qualifying round over eighteen
holes, medal play, of a competition for
the Councils cup for women will be
held on the links Of the San Francisco
Golf Club.
1t is so set down on the schedule of
the ladies' annex, but it is more prob
able that the qualifying round will be
dispensed with and that the ladies VIII
proceed at once to the opening round
OF match play. In that case the sec
Ond or semi final round will take place
on Wednesday morning and the final
round on Thursday morning. This is
the third and last competition for the
ladies' trophy during the present sea-
son. The winners of the two contests
already held were Mrs. z. S. Miller
and Miss Alice Hager
It is an interesting thing to compare
the expense of golf two hundred years
ago in Scotland and at the present day
in the United States. The details are
derived from the diary of Sir James
FOULS, who lived in the seventeenth
century. Balls cost about 10 cents
apiece, a wooden club could be bought
for so cents and the hire of a caddie
for one round of a 36-hole course was
8 cents. OF course money was scarcer
and went further in those days than
now. Nowadays the expense of golf
in England is said to be pretty much
what the player chooses TO make it.
Once he has Joined club and has pro-
cured his outfit the chief expenditure
is on golf balls and on travelling TO and
from the links, items which careful
man may keep down TO low figures it
is said, however, that the English
golfer who belongs to half a dozen
clubs, travels about the country to take
part in various competitions and has
nice taste in Haskells, must have a
fairly long purse. In this country
man who did these things would have
10 be a millionaire or something like
one.

SCOTCH B0WLERS
ARE PRACTICINC
Hope to Be Able to Use the
New Park Green for TOurn-
ament Play in Two Weeks

The announcement during the week
that the new green at Golden Gate
Park would be opened on the 22d inst.
was a welcome piece of news to the
Scottish bowlers. The green has been
closed for several weeks and large
number of the club members have had
no opportunity to bowl.
About fifteen or twenty enthusiasts
have bowled on the old green every
Saturday afternoon. 1t is expected
when tournament play is resumed on
the 22d there will be many surprises
in the first round. Those who have
not been practicing will probably find
falling off in their games. The few
who have been playing once a week
have been improving and the result
of their practice will be apparent in
the tournament
The old green is a fair substitute.
but is not nearly as good as the new
one, which is better sheltered and more
central. The former is long way out
and the weather at this time of the
year is disag agreeable. The men who
have kept in practice with the idea of
carrying off tournament hOnors are Y.
C. Lawson, T. G. Aiken, T. Mcknight,
j. c. MCffatt. NJ. L. Grove, w. H.
Stewart, DR.. Gum, r. Park and ]. T.

Several good players drew together
in the opening round and close matches
will result. Aiken has improved prob
ably more than any other man and
is expected to get well along in the
tournament. Y. c. Lawson, the win
ner of the first tournament, is bowling
a strong game and many expect him
to win. His chief cGntenders will be
]. C. Moffatt, John McLaren and T.
Mcknight. These players are all about
equally skillful and their chances of
winning are about even.
The members of the San Francisco
Scottish Bowling Club will meet next
Thursday evening. at which time the
time limits for the different rounds will
be fixed. Another object of the meet
ing is to hold the drawings for the
