flanagan AGAIN SELECTED
TO COACH STANFORD MEN
Signs Contract to Handle the Foot
ball and Baseball Teams for
Three Years.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb II.
James T. flanagan, head coach for
the Stanford football squad signed a
contract to-day with Athletic Manager
r. w. Barrett to remain at Stanford
for the next three years as head coach
of both the football and the baseball
teams. Lanagan's salary for this work
will be $4,000 a year and expenses for
a trip to the large Eastern univer-
stiles each year, in order that he may
study football as 1t is played at Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton and Pennsyi-
vania. flanagan graduated from STAN
ford in 1900 and has since been an in
structor at Belmont Military School.
His development of the Stanford foot
ball team during the past two years
has been so remarkable that his re-
tention was deemed advisable.
From present indications 1t seems
likely the new athletic agreement re-
Gently adopted by the intercollegiate
athletic committee and which proposes
to abolish the graduate coach system
in football at Stanford and at the Uni
versity of California will be ratified by
the Stanford executive committee at
its meeting tomorrow night. Presi-
dent David Starr Jordan favors the
retention of graduate coaches at both
universities, Dul II Is unlikely that he
will interfere If the students ratify the
agreement. In an interview this aft
ernoon DR.. Jordan said: Il am unal-
terably opposed to the employment of
professional coaches in football. I
prefer to see the intercollegiate foot
ball game dropped rather than return
to the conditions that existed at Stan
ford and California a few years ago.
when outsiders were hired to win
games. There are two classes of pro-
fessional coaches; the one is a profess
sional pure and simple, as prize
fighter while the other has the inter-
est of the university as we'll as the
winning of the game at heart In case
the first sort of coach is employed
either at Stanford or California / will
interfere and there will be no inter
collegiate football games played on the
Stanford campus, but if the coach
comes from the second class of men I
do not know that / will interfere The
purpose of football is not to organize
a team to win regardless of other con-
siderations. It's function is that of
honorable sport in which decent men
do the best they can for their college
colors, do it decently, and let it go at
that"

mark. The Battler in former sieges of
training has always reduced with lit
tie difficulty to the required weight.
but on this occasion the problem of
making $50 pounds is beginning to have
a serious look. Instead of reducing,
he seems TO gain in weight. and harsh
measures have had to be adopted in
order to get off the surplus flesh
The Dane donned two heavy suits
of fiannels and four heavy sweaters
yesterday morning and logged about
twelve miles on the road. This siren
uous method of reducing, however, fail
ed to perform its work. In the after
noon Bat spent an hour in the gym
nasium punching the bag, skipping the
rope, tossing the medicine ball and
wrestling. A couple of fast rounds
each with Rawhide Kelly and Fred
Landers completed the days work.
Billy Nolan, Nelson's manager, has
sent for a professional rubber, who
will arrive at the camp to-day. Every
effort will be made to reduce the Danes
weight considerably within the next
few days.
A large crowd of sporting men visit
ed Billy Shannon's villa yesterday in
order to see Young Corbett work for
his coming battle with Nelson. Cor
bett spent more than an hour in the
gymnasium going through his usual
PAGES, and his many admirers, who
have not had the pleasure of seeing
him perform lately, were surprised at
his condition. The little fellow is as
fast as bullet and does his work with
q will. Those present were treated to
an eight-round bout with Joe Cans.
The pair went at it as though their
lives were at stake, and many a sting
ing blow was given apd taken. In the
morning Corbett went eight miles ON
the road and returned looking as fresh
as a daisy. brisk rundown followed
Frank Mcdonald, Corbett's trainer,

Oakland Organization Elects Officers

and Prepares for Coming Season.
All the boating clubs having quar-
ters on Sessions Basin, East Oakland,
recently received formal notice to give
up their clubhouses, the land en- which
they stand being required for manufac-
turing purposes. 1t seems likely now,
however. that the only club that will
be disturbed for some time is the Co
lumbia Rowing Club. which has al
creek by piling driven in front of it's
landing float. This organization has
taken no active part in regattas or
other rowing events for several years
and its members have so nearly aban-
doned the recreation of rowing that it
is likely the club will be disbanded.
The Oakland Canoe Club viii remain
undisturbed for a season or two at
least and has offered the University of
California Boating Association permis-
sion to put it's clubhouse next to the
Canoe Club quarters and use it's float
If the present site of the Berkeley
boathouse becomes untenable.
The annual meeting of the Oakland
Canoe Club was well attended and re-
suited in the election of the following
officers for 1905: Charles Stewart,
commodore; F. B. Balm. vice. commo-
dore; Frank Paul, secretary and treas
urer; S. A. Hackett and r. B. Balm Jr,
committee on membership. The COM
modore was appointed committee of
one to consider the plan of selecting a
new site for the clubs quarters. The
prospects of the club for an active and
pleasant season are good.

BY FRED e. MULHOLLAND.

Rockaway, from the stable of w. B.
Jennings, did not shine to any particu-
lar advantage in the six-furlong handi-
cap yesterday at Oakland. Possibly
the chestnut horse does not care for
muddy going. At any rate he enjoyed
first call in the betting and finished
third.
Andrew B. Cook, the fast but un-
lucky bush champion, piloted by Frank
Otis, earned the biggest slice of the
5000 purse. Rated to the far turn. he
was gradually forced into the leading
position, and at the wire defeated Rec

nothing in the run home.
The major portion of the fields had
an open look and picking winners was

ties were Bucolic and Fair Lady Anna.

In the evening spe- cial exercises will be held in Carnegie hall. On February 19. 1895. a dozen citizens met and discussed the quest ion of public schools. It was the sense of these gentlemen that the poor children should be given "virtuous education" as they were inheriting vice from bad example. The inror- poration of the New York free school society of which De Witt Clinton was the first president. was the outcome of this meeting.

KANSAS MAY GET
 AFTER THE STANDARD

Topeka, Kan, Feb 20.-The state of Kansas may investigate the Standard Oil Cos operations in this state. The legislature may also make inquiries of congress regarding Indian Territory oil leases. State Senator Smith has prepared q resolution providing for the appointment by the legislature of a committee to investigate the charges flied with the commissioner of corpora. tiCns at Washington by the represen- tatives of the Kansas oil producers as- sociatiOn. The leaders in the legisla. ture have planned also. it is said. to demand of the Kansas delegation ih congress that the Foster lease on the Osage reservation in Indian Territory he annulled on the ground that ths Standard intends to discriminate against the Kansas field by securing rom this territory all oil the company needs. The anti-discrimination bill. which was passed by the senate Iast week and made a special order fin the house for this afternoon, probably will be the last of the antitrust measures to he considered by this session of the legislature. This bill is designed |. prevent the Standard Oil Co from un- derselling the state in any locality un- less the rate there should be the rate throughout the state.
