COLLEGE FOOTBALL
IS POPULAR.
High School Boys Prefer
Old and Rough Game
to Rugby Substitute
School Principal Favors
Dropping Gridiron
Contests This Year

Within a few weeks the athletes OF
the San Francisco high schools must
decide upon the form of football they
intend to play this fall.
The question, If left to the student
bodies. would not invite much discus
sion. as all seem united in wanting
the old intercollegiate game. How
ever, when the time comes to reach a
decision it is expected the principals
OF the various institutions will be on
hand to see that things are carried on
10 their entire satisfaction.
Mr.. Poobar of the COgswell College.
who has always figured prominently
in Academic Athletic League matters,
when asked on the subject said:
Personally am strongly opposed to
any football in the high schools this
fall The universities of the State
have decided upon Rugby and if the
high school athletes adopt the same
game the spectators as well as the
players would be at sea. due to igno-
rance Of the playing rules. Lack OF
coaching material would also make II
difficult for the boys to learn the
game.
I'm my estimation 1t would be far
better to decide the unfinished base
ball championship and await the re-
suit OF the Rugby game in the col
leges-
Track athletics will be more active
than ever this fall. as Lick, Lowell.
Wilmerding and Cogswen have tracks
of their own for the athletes 10 train
on, and L am satisfied the San Fran
cisco. the Bay Counties and the Aca-
demic Athletic leagues will have no
trouble obtaining the Berkeley cinder
path"
Arthur Hall. who has played on five
of Lick's championship football and
baseball teams. is opposed to any
change In football. He said:
Taking il from the players stand
point it would be folly to change the
game this year at least Ignorance
falling Off in attendance, which in turn
would mean the failure of the league.
The league at best was never sup
ported to an alarming degree. If the
rules were modified and the requisite
number of yards to- gain in the three
downs be increased to ten the game
would resolve itself into a kicking
game. If a team has difficulty gain
ing five yards in three downs it GER
tatnly would not be easier to gain
ten yards in the same number OF
downs. With those conditions a team
would have to kick on almost every
third down Hence team with a
good kicker would win every time and
the game of football would be more
like ping pong match than a good.
closely contested football match. OF
which the local sub-league has seen
many.

CANS DRAWS COLOR LINE.
After Meeting Dave Holly at Seattle
He VIII Fight No More Negroes.

SEATTLE, July 11.-Joe Cans of
Baltimore, champion lightweight pugi-
list of the world. arrived in Seattle late
last night to prepare for his match
with Dave Holly, which will take place
at Pleasant Beach the latter part of
this month. Joe announces that his
fight with Holly will be his last with
a negro. He wants above all things
to get Battling Nelson into a ring with
him, and that was one of the first
things he said to Manager Daley, who
met him a the train.
Billy Nolan. Nelson's manager, said
recently in New York that Bat had
never drawn the color line on Cans,
and that if any one would show him
the money Bat would take on Joe.
That pleased Joe. Now he will keep
after every promoter in the country
until he gets Bat in ring with him.
Offer him purse of $4,000, Bill"
said Joe to Daley last night. Daley
nearly dropped dead. IF he accepts
an offer of $4,000 l will go in for
half that amount" said Joe. so If
/ win you will only have to come
through with $4,000" That shows how
anxious Joseph is to get a crack at
Nelson

different kinds of canned meats from
every possible source, as we'll as the

In a general way the results of the
Investigations are favorable to the
manufacturers, both IN the East and
in the West, but IL was found that
many of the preparations contained a

a Western firm the report states:
This was found to consist of a
small amount of normal muscle, con-

OF another Western potted ham the
report says:
Abundant muscle fiber, considerable
epidermis, much granular debris, some
fat and cornmeal. Quality fair. but
inasmuch there appears to be no
excuse for the presence of cornmeaI,
1t must be regarded as adulterated."

Board of Health says, contain corn

Several brands of prepared meat

JOE THOMAS WILL FIGHT.
Californian WelterweiEht Meets Joe

PHILADELPHIA, July. H. - Joe
Thomas, the welterweight sensation of
the Pacific Coast and who is touted
by his manager, Harry Foley, as the
coming champion of his class, will
receive his first Eastern try-out to-
morrow night in this city against Joe
Grim at the Broadway Athletic Club
Thomas has impressed the sports ia
vorably in his training stunts. Willie
Fitzgerald and Maurice Savers have
both boxed with him, and their opinion
is that he can make the best welters
in the East hustle over any route The
bout with Grim is not expected to fur
nish thorough line on Thomas
ability, but a general idea can be
CLEANED regarding his fitness to clash
with such men as Willie Lewis, Cans,
