Jack o'Brien submitted to an opera

Football Player, Awad the
Action OF the Faculty

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. S.
Coach James Laaagan OF the Cardinal
squad. who has been in the East study
ing the new rules followed by the big
universities In their annual football
games. Will not attempt to influence the
decision of the faculty when they come
TO choose between Rugby and Ameri-
can football as an intercollegiate sport
for 1907. flanagan will give his optn-
ion of the new rules, but will. draw
no conclusions.
The football situation is unsettled,
and the question is the one topic upon
the minds of all the undergraduates
here. The election of the. Stanford cap
tain was watched with closest scrutiny.
From the decision of the men the un-
to the opinion OF the players them
selves regarding retnrn to the old
game. II Kenny Fenton had been
elected the opinion would have been
unanimous that Rugby was to be the
game. s.On the other hand, IL .Stott
was HaNneo- the cuoicSs -Coul0 nave Deen
construed that either American bail
was to be played or that the men were
undecided as to what was in the air
The election Of w. Koerner has been
regarded in the same light as if Stott
was chosen. Koerner is proficient at
either game. having played on the 1905
and this years yarsities.
The decision OF the football men is
considered to bear weight because Of
the fact that in discussing the election
of captain Coach Lana gun would give
them his opinion as to the possibilities
of the new rules and the chance Of
the old game being restcrcd-
According to DR. Frank Angel, chair
man of the faculty athletic committee,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-12-09

the initiative must be assumed by. the
students In the campaign for the resto-
ration OF football. DR.. Angel says
the students will be obliged to draw
up petition, which must be approved
by the faculties OF both stanford and
California. This puts the question
up to the faculty. and specifically TO
President David Starr Jordan and the
athletic committee.
President Jordan witnessed the games
OF the great Eastern universities. but
as yet has NOT discussed the merits OF
the two games. DR.. ANGEL. the chair
man of the athletic committee, is a
strong adi1erent Of the British game.
The students. taking these facts into
consideration. have come TO the. con-
clusion that the key to the situation
lies In the hands OF the executive of the
university. II Or. Jordan chooses to
accept the new rules the students feel
confident that the old game will be re-
stored.
Prominent students state that no ac-
tion will be taken this semester. Early
next year the question will cofne up
for Anal settlement. In the meantime
Stanford will be preparing to play
Rugby. BY sending flanagan East the
students provided for the restoration of
the old game. The sending OF the

had attracted an entry list in which
were some Of the best youngsters IN

OF a tremendous play on Barney

close to definitely settle the question

colt, while L. Williams rode the Slower

was evidently saving him for the
stretch struggle, for Tony Faust got
to within a length OF him at the three
quarters. The pair came into the
stretch head and head and a grueilins
contest to the wire ensued. Both colts
showed gameness. Faust looked to
have the race easily won after pass

become trife overconident. At any
rate, Native Son ranged abreast OF him
