Several Veterans viii Be
on Next Years Team.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Nov. IL
The first Rugby intercollegiate match
on record between the universities Of
Stanford and California has been
played and the tickle bird OF victory is
perched upon the standard of the car
dinal. Now the undergraduates of both
universities are wondering what the
game will be next year and, if Rugby
is played. who Will win.
At Stanford the outlook is rosy. Sew
en- of the fifteen men who played
against California yesterday will prob
ably graduate. Eight Of the total num-
Der are of the lower classes and should
remain. The seven who belong to the
senior class are for the large part
registered in the law department and
may return to take post graduate
work. in which case they will add TO
the strength of the squad next fall
Captain Stump" Scott and Bull
Chalmers viii be the two most appre-
ciable losses. Both of these crack
players at the old game who made good
yesterday are in their senior year and
are not expected TO return. Chalmers
has played four consecutive years and
is no longer eligible under the inter
collegiate agreement to compete. Stott
has played in three successive games
and would be able to take part in one
more.
MOLFINO WILL BE ABSENT.
Molfino, who played center for the
varsity last year and who worked in
the front rank of the serum yester-
Cay, is a senior and is counted as
loss TO the cardinal as is Stanford
who played in the rear rank. Both OF
these men are hard fighters and vet
Grams of two games.
G. J. Presley, the crack baseball
player and captain-elect of the nine for
1907. who played a wing forward in
the Rugby clash, is a senior who prob
ably viii leave the ranks of the cardi-
nal athletes next May. Presley was
the lightest man on the team yester-
day, but played a star game against
his heavy opponent, Tuller of Cali
fornia-
L NJ Edwards, who played one Of
the center three quarters with Chal-
mers. graduates along with Laumeist
er. who played at right wing. These
two players are veterans Of but one
game, but demonstrated yesterday that
they have the material for star Rug
by players. Their passing and running
were noticeable
SUBSTITUTES ARE CAPABLE.
But for every man that leaves the
university the coaches have trained
competent substitutes. The men left
are fully as clever as the seniors.
Among the number that will remain is
Kenny Fenton, the best individual
player Of the game, and Holman, who
showed more Of the genuine Rugby in
stincts than any other man. Fenton
is a junior and is eligible for another
year Yesterday was the first time that
he ever donned the uniform of a var
sity football player. but he has a rec
ord Of two years standing as a base
ball player, having held down the DIFF
fcuIt position Of third base for that
length Of time. He stands directly in
line for the captaincy Of either team
and probably viii lead the cardinal
football team next season.
Holman is q sophomore and has two
years more to shine. He is q speedy
runner in the short distances. Yester-
day was his initial step into the inter
collegiate varsity limelight- Holman
was star in the intercollegiate fresh
man track meet last spring.
Among the forwards Pemberton and
Koerner are not eligible for gradua-
tion for at least one year Koerner
is a veteran now of two contests, hav-
ing played last year at right end. Min
turn, who played center of the for
wards, is a sophomore and will be at
Stanford for two years.
