Close and Exciting Contest.

players of the University of California
and of Stanford University meet this
afternoon in their annual match. Aus
tralian experts will be much In evil
dence among the officials. william IN
mack, the referee, has officiated in a
of preliminary matches here and
has shown thorough knowledge of the
game, which he has applied with strict
impartiality in all his rulings.
1t is expected that in addition to IN
mack there will be two other Aus
tralian experts among the officials.
These are Ira Clark and Mr.. Heath
cote. The former was a member OF the
North Brisbane Football Club and rap-
resented Queensland in the great annual
match two years ago. It was intended
to have the assistant coaches serve on
the touch lines. but this was thought
inadvisable, and the Australians prob
ably will take their places.
The position is an important one. as
these officials decide where the ball
goes out Of touch and TO whom IL be-
longs. This means much to the de-
Tending team when the bail IL within

Today is the greatest day of the year
TO the undergraduates of both Stan
ford and the University of California
1t is the day of their annual football
game. The game will be played on the
new California field and those who
journey across the bay to see the game
should not only see a very fast and in
teresting contest, but also one of the
grandest spectacles ever seen at an
intercollegiate football match.
The sale of seats among the students
at the two universities has been larger
this year than ever before, and the sale
in San Francisco and Oakland has been
fully as large as in previous years.
These facts are rather surprising. Very
few people knew anything at all about
the Rugby game until this season. but
as the preliminary games have all been
well attended it has not taken the peo-
pie long to learn enough about the
game to become interested in it.
HARD TO PICK WINNER.
1t is very hard to figure the result
of the game of today. In previous
years every enthusiast had his. own
opinion as to who would win the game
because he could compare the teams of
one year with those of other years,
and in that way get a possible line on
the game, but this season one has to
work in the dark, as these are the first
Rugby teams to be turned out by the
colleges The only things one<has to
go by are the scores that the rival
teams have been able to make in prac-
tice games. From this standpoint
Stanford would seem to have the bet
ter of it. The Cardinals defeated Po-
mona by larger score than Berkeley
did. They defeated Nevada by a large
score. while Nevada managed to score
three points to Berkeleys nothing
Then in the games with the Vancouver
team Berkeley won one game by a
small margin and Stanford managed to
defeat the same team by larger score
and that later in the season, when the
Northern boys had a chance to practice
together and improve their team work
GAME SHOULD BE CLOSE.
The game of today, however, should
be a very close one The University of
California serum seems to be heavier
and little better than that of Stanford.
and unless the boys from Palo Alto
have improved in this part of the game
in the last week or two Berkeley should
have as much of an advantage in this
line as they did in the freshman game
However, l think Stanford will more

CARDINAL BEST IN PRACTICE.
Every game OF the practice season
was won by Stanford. while Berkeley
was only successful in three of the hve
practice matches Stanford opened the
season with a match with the Univer-
sity Of Nevada. which resulted in a
large score. 11-0. for Stanford. Three
days later the Nevadans defeated the
mature team of Berkeley by one try
after outclassing the Berkeley men at
every point Of the game. Berkeley
was not at her best. however. as sew
eral men were out OF the play. Cali
fornia journeyed south the day Stanford
defeated Nevada and engaged the Po-
mona lads. winning Dy the margin or
two tries. Stanford went down a week
later and took the southern lads into
camp by lOpsided score OF IS TO 0.
California met the visitors from Van
couver first and defeated the northern
ers by two tries The following Sat
urday the Vancouver aggregation
turned the tables. defeating Berkeley
by try. Stanford met the visitors
from Canada in the same number OF
games and was successful upon both
occasions. the scores being 5 to and
Is to s. This was all there was to the
practice season. and now the dope fans
are busy From these results no one
could blame the cardinal adherents
for figuring on victory.
William Unmack. the clever Austria
liam expert. will referee the match to-
morrow. Unmack was Berkeley's
choice, and was likewise a favorite
with flanagan He is a vigi1ant and
strict official

Berkeley and have more scoring abil-
ity Stott Chalmers and Fenton are
certainly three men in the Stanford
back field for Berkeley to be afraid of.
They were always dangerous men with
the ball in an open field. even in the
old-style of game, and they are lot
more dangerous In this new game
since it is all open play.
FIELD 225 FEET WIDE.
The game is played on a field 225
feet wide instead of 165, the width of
old gridirons. It is lined off with a
crossline through the center, another
ten yards on each side of center and
another twenty-five yards from either
end of the field. The game is started
by a kickoff from the center of the
field, just as in the old game, and the
teams line up for the kickoff in much
the same positions. There is no in
reference in the new game. A try
is the same as a touchdown in the old
game and Is made in the same way as
of old and counts three points. The
goal is then kicked, the same as before.
and counts for two more points After
a try the ball Is kicked of from the
center of the field again.
In the Rugby game neither side has
undisputed possession of the ball, and
when a foul or an offside play is made,
the offended side is given free kick.
which can be either a place or drop
kick or put
FIELD GOAL COUNTS THREE.
If a field goal is scored from PEN
altv or a free catch IL counts for three
points. The ball. after a field goal
has been made, is put in play by a kick
from the twenty -five-yard line A goal
kicked from the field of play by means
of a drop kick. other than from free
kick, counts four points.
These are all the points that count
in the Rugby game. A touchdown in
Rugby is the same as a touchback in
the old game and safety is the same
in both games. Neither of these scores
points and the ball is put in play by
q drop kick from behind the twenty
five-yard line.
If the spectators will watch where
the ball is put into play after a place
or drop kick and when the ball crosses
the goal line, they will be able to
keep track of the score without any
trouble.
