Two Rough Rugby Games Played on
Stanford University Field

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. g.
Two Rugby games were played on the
Stanford field this afternoon. In the
frst contest the Freshman Reds de-
feated the Freshman Blacks by the
score of 16 to G in a game repIete with
errors and bad passing. The redeem
ing feature of the game was the. clever
kicking of WorthiHgton, who scored
two goals from almost impossible
angles.
This is the last contest of the Stan
ford freshmen before they meet the
California babies. and today's showing z

RISK EXPULSION TO
PLAY OLD GAME
FOOTBALL.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. g.
AS the result of game Of good old
American football played on Stanford
Field this morning between the Lowell
and Pa1o Alto high schools the entire
Palo Alto eleven is in danger OF ex-
pulsion. AT the August meeting of the
Board of School Trustees a resolution
was passed forbidding any form of
football but Rugby at the Palo Alto in
stitution of learning. In the face of
this resolution the students proceeded
to elect captain and organize a team
playing under the name Of the School
Athletic Association. They scheduled
today's game with Lowell High and ad-
vertised it freely, going to considerable
expense to insure a good audience.
When the news of these proceedings
reached Principal Hill he summoned the
members of the team and told them
that they would play at the risk of ex-
pulsion. The boys replied that they
had already made all necessary ar
rangements with the Lowell team and
that 1t was impossible for them to can
eel the game.

Athletes from the California School
of Mechanical Arts Click SchooD scored
a brilliant victory at Berkeley oval
yesterday in the fall field day of the
Bay Counties Athletic League. The
struggle between the victors and the
representatives of Oakland High School
was waged fiercely, but with good ma
ture, throughout the afternoon. Oak
land won this meet for the last two
years, hence the delirious joy of the
Lick students.
Lick won six first places to five for
Oakland. The final score of the former
was At 1-3 points. Oakland made
AZ 2-3; Berkeley, 2S 2-3; Lowell, 1872
Cogswell, 5h; Alameda, 5, and VIII
merding, / 1-3.
Conditions were ideal for field day
and the meet attracted a large attend
anee. The fair students of the vari-
Gus schools were out in their filmy
gowns and gave a brilliant appearance
to the crowd. The center of the
horseshoe shaped grandstand was oc-
cupied by the young women of Oak
land High School. Their white gowns
set off by the blue and white colors Of
the school made a pretty picture.
Throughout the afternoon the APP
plause and cheering was like the roar
of musketry. rising and, falling with
the sharpness of the competition on
the track.
THREE RECORDS BROKEN.
Three records were broken. Munro
of Berkeley High School ran the two
miles in 9:42. The former league rec
ord was 1922. This is new Amer
lean interscholastic record and is nine
seconds faster than the coast record
held by Connolly and made on the
Stanford University track. The time
was so fast that 1t was thought the
winners had not covered the full
course It was shown they had done
so and the officials then allowed the
time to stand
Vail, the clever pole vaulter of Oak
land High School, cleared the bar at
ten feet five inches, adding one inch
TO the league record.
In the shotput Bell of Lick increased
the record for the shotput from AZ feet
1 inch to Al feet inches.
There was a question as to the fair
ness of the start in the 50-yard. race
and Read, the winner with a fine
spirit of sportsmanship agreed to run
it over. The result was not changed
Read, Allen and Rathbone finishing in
that order in both races. Photographer
Z. A. Rogers of The Call caught the
first start and the competitors were
willing to allow the camera decide as
to its fairness.
The 22O fiat race, the 220 hurdle an6
the relay race furnished struggles
worth going miles to see. In the hur-
dies Grubb and Eldredge cleared the
jumps together until the last two. when
Grubb drew away gradually and won
/ by two yards.
Golcher of Lick gave his team mate
Crabtree, a slight lead in the first LAP
! of the relay and the others were able
to hold it throughout. Oakland was
never more than five yards away until
the finish, when fifteen yards separated
first and second

WILEY COMES FOR MACHINES
Buys TunneIinE Works 10 Develop
Irrigation Facilities in Big
Horn Country.

Scion l. Wiley, formerly OF Omaha. but
now a citizen Of the Big Horn country in
wyoming, was in Omaha Saturday, enroute
to the east to purchase some tunneling
machinery for the construction Of the
Oregon Basin Irrigation cOmpany's work
In the Big Horn, OF which Mr.. Wiley is
president and general manager.
This scheme of Mr.. Wileys Is the most
extensive Of any private irrigation work
I'm the United States and equals most OF
the large government schemes In its scope.
The Oregon Basin scheme comprehends
putting water on 10000 acres Of land in
the Big Horn basin, the water supply
coming In the main from the south fork
of the Shoshone river, twenty-five miles
west Of Cody.
The first section and most important sec
ton OF the main ditch measures twenty
eight miles from the head gate TO the
oregon Basin and will be completed IN
July, 1907. The basin IL a most wonder
ful natural reservoir, being a natural for
nation absolutely water tight which will
not require the expenditure Of over 81, 900
TO put in shape. The basin Is ten miles
long by four miles wide and is filed with
the flood water in the winter and from
water rights on the Shoshone I'm summer.
The land TO be watered from this reservoir
extends from the Shoshone to the Big
Horn river.
Mr.. Wiley expressed considerable regret
at the action of the railroads in cutting
on transportation from the land agents
and said the withdrawal OF the help OF the
railroads at this time would tend 10 retard
the settlement Of the eastern slope Of the
Rocky mountains at least ten years,
