I, and ! am certain that the game i
!. will be a hard struggle from the T
start.-Coach Hempel Of the In +
Z dians. 4
t.FAA.F.E
The best football game Of the local
season should result at Fiesta park this
afternoon when Stanford and Sherman
meet in the second big contest of the
year.
On form the two teams are capable Of
playing a fast and open game. The
Sherman men have undergone, accord
ing to reports, a vast improvement dur
ing the week and are now switched in
manner that makes the outlook of
strong defense appear very bright.
They are strong and husky-the men
who will strive for Stanford this after
noon-but the Berkeley aggregation will
loom above them when they line up for
the great struggle November IL on the
Palo Alto field. The difference in size
of the northern elevens was apparent
from the moment the Stanford men en-
tered the lobby of the Angelus hotel
yesterday morning.
1t was grizzled Dad" Moulton that
took cognizance of the rations which the
cardinal men were getting away with
and there was a repetition of the scenes
which marked the first meal of the
Berkeley team in Los Angeles a week
ago. Here a. man was called down for
drinking too much water, and there an
unfortunate, sneaking down an extra
piece of meat, was foiled in the attempt.
Moulton is ineXorable, however. and It
is probably due to this fact that the
Stamford h1- h fl,o
greatest trainer of them ALL
Signal practice had been scheduled
for o'clock, and fifteen minutes before
the start for Fiesta forty-four corked
shoes were threatened to play havoc
with Loomis' MOSAIC floors. A big
crowd gathered to watch the departure
of the crimson sweatered squad who
jumped a Grand avenue car and a few
minutes later were trying to escape a
horde of camera men who had made
advance march to the field.
The picture work was over in a mo-
ment and would-be witnesses of the
afternoons work were invited to
make the customary scarcity of their
presence.
Dad" Moulton said yesterday that
his men were in good condition, though
admitting that they would not be all
lowed to round into perfect trim until
day or so before the Berkeley Stanford
game, which is the struggle for which
these men of the cardinal and blue and
gold exert every muscle and strain
every nerve.
Lanagan's Denial
That is not saying that today's game
will not be hard fought from the
whistle, for Coach flanagan believes in
football. mot a man of our team will
say after tomorrow's game that we
merely tried for a victory. That is
against Stanford principles and we
will go in tomorrow to roll up the
highest score we are capable Of"
said he.
Coach flanagan Indignantly denied
the interviews in which he has been
quoted as desiring to change the present
football rules as promulgated by the
committee selected to say what is what
as regards football ethics. "The state
ment crediting me with calling for ten
yards instead of five yards as the
necessary distance to be made in three
downs is the rankest kind Of tommy
rot" he said.
Regarding this afternoons contest
with the Indians, the Stanford coach is
expecting a hard game and was not
backward about saying so.
An Item giving an insight to the
system that Stanford will employ to
obtain the best possible results from
her football men was given out by one
of the squad in discussing the future
prospects of the game at the university.
flanagan, by his contract, has at
least two more years of cardinal coach
ing before him. and Immediately after
the Stanford-Berkeley game will leave
for the east to witness the great games
scheduled for the latter part of Novem-
Der and the month of December.
flanagan will be accompanied by 4
stenographer, who will note every play
of the big colleges, and the best of them
may figure in the football world of
Stanford when another season dawns.
Hempeps men will arrive this morn
ing and go to their old camping grounds
the Hollenbeck hotel.
Reports from the Sherman camp are
of the most encourag ging nature, and all
indications point to a fast struggle
when the cardinal faces the Riverside
purple this afternoon.
Roesch of high school and Haggerty
of st. Vincents are to alternate as
referee and umpire, and willie" Trae-
ger will boss the lines men.
Game will he called at 3 o'clock and
25-minute halves had practically been
agreed upon last night.
