STANFORD PRESIDENT
APPEALS TO ALUMNI
FOOTBALL AGITATION CAUSES
NEW SUGGESTION
Data May Be Compiled From STAN
ford and Berkeley Gridiron Rec
ords for the Use of the COM
mittee to Remodel Game

A. b. Rice, one of Stanfords best
known alumni. has been appealed tt
by President Jordan to assist in re-
modelling the football rules and has
sent a communication to the Daily
Palo Alto, the student paper at Stan
ford.
Rice attacks the methods used by the
opponents of varsity football in Their
campaign against the game ard also
says he believes the game as played
upon the Pacific slope, and especially
at Stanford, is the cleanest in the
country.
Rice's plan is to secure a complete
record of Stanford football since it's in
ception at the university and obtain
full statistics from this data in order
to prepare accurate information for the
use of the committee which has in
charge the remodeling of the game
Rice says in part:
I'm the present discussion through
out the United States the opponents
of the varsity game are dealing with
generalities and using exceptional cases
of brutality and injury as adverse
criticisms applicable to all teams.
where totals of injuries are charged
to different sports the aggregate num-
ber of participants in each is not men
lloll6hs pul lOOlDdll, WIFI
its tens of thousands of players, is made
to appear more dangerous than pugil-
ism, which probably has only about
per cent as many participants, and they
not in one-fourth as many contests.
with crystallized facts from Stan
ford as a basis. a similar record car
be compiled at Berkeley, and then the
committee will have something tnagible
upon which to base it's deliberations
for the improvement and preservation
of the great game.
1.-THE records deduced by the tive
big, powerful football rivals of tht
Pacific slope could go forth to the press
of the country as actual results, show.

of the career of Ebony at Ascot this
season, but the judges were not salts
fled with the explanations and
notified Walker that in future
the entry of Ebony would be
refused and added that similar per-
formances by other horses belonging
to Walker would result in barring the
stable entry. The decision to refuse
Ebony further participation in the
races this season is in pursuance of a
determination to force horses to per-
form with some regard to form and
to eliminate the in-and-out running
of many of the horses that are pop
ular with the public. However, Eb-
ony's race yesterday was not a
startling form reversal, as the black
colt has shown a decided disposition
to go a route and is slow beginner.
His previous outs were in sprints and
on his first out he ran away back un-
til near the close, when he finished
like a Kansas prairie fire, getting
third place. On his second out, Eb-
ony was off fourth and in the scram-
BILE for positions he landed ninth at
the quarter and at the end began to
run, coming from last to seventh, be-
ing fourteen lengths ahead of the last
horse. Both his previous outs to yes
terday We're in sprints, and Walker
says he is a slow beginner and only
shows to advantage over a route. Eb-
ony was practically left at the post
yesterday and finished third, after a
slow beginning and a whirlwind fin
ish. His performance yesterday was
on a par with all his other outs and
his consistency since the Ascot meet
ing opened. by way of comparison
with the races of Myrtle ID. Golden
Rule. Vino, Prominence, Orchan and
some others, stands out in a blaze of
glory like an electric light on an owl
car. The racegoing public will sup
port the judges in an effort to elevate
the sport and force the horses to per-
form truly. yet much sympathy has
been expressed for Walker in his new
er-ending series of troubles since OPEN
ing daY.

"YOUNG CORBETT" TRAINING
and Will Do First Boxing on
Sunday

young Corbett" is going about his
training in a very systematic fashion
at the Santa Monica bath house. The
former champ" is taking things easy
during the first few days of work in
order to become used to a routine
which will be most productive of the
best results.
Road work has so far been the feat
ure of the days program and begin
ming last Monday the Denverite has
done from six to eight miles on the
roads back of the seaside town.
The first boxing of the training
regime will occur on next Sunday aft
ernoon, when the admirers of the lit
tie ring man will have an opportunity
of judging whether their old time idol
is capable of the sprightliness which
made people marvel in the days after
the McGovern fight.
Corbett will spar with Johnny Burke,
California lightweight. who looks to
be something of goer himself. Cor
bett was not working yesterday after
noon, but went six miles on the road
in the morning. The train at the bath
house quarters scott at the possibility
of Corbett not making the weight and
say that he will enter the ring without
having lost an ounce of stamina as a
result of the rigid routine which he
has promised to observe.
The interest attendant on the conf
ing fight will in great measure be
swayed by the knowledge as to whether
Rothwell is eXerting himself to the
limit during the process of training.
If the would-be conquerer of Herrera
shows disposition to make the most
of the training time he will find sup
port from great number who will not
see the Mexican, providing Corbett Is
fit for the match.
Herrera is training at the pavilion
and will leave no stone unturned
which may lead to Corbett's defeat.
Those who are contending in favor of
Corbett say that Herrera's right,
which is the only punch Corbett has to
fear, will never reach the elusive Den
yer man. and that the hitting powers
and leading ability of Corbett are to
prove the undoing of the Bakersfield
boy.

as the jockey club offering for the
