Reed suddenly got out of the tangle and
carried the ball over the opposing line
for a try, which was converted by Fen
ton into another five points for the cardi-
nal, giving them good lead and making
things look bad for the Castaways, who
by this time had been developing hopes
Of winning the game.
Again Higgins got away with the pig
skin in an open field and evading four of
the cardinals back fielders carried the
ball a third time over the goal for his
team. Galley again tried for goal, but
the ball was nearly in the middle of the
field. and the score stood 10 to II in favor
of the Stanford players.
Thee Castaways had no team work to
speak of. while the cardinal players
showed splendid system and cooperation
in every play. The mastery influence of
Coach Lanagan's training was evident in
the playing of the cardinal team. But
in individual playing, which counts for
more in Rugby than in the old game, the
Castaways made up for their lack of
team work.
Referee Crouch governed the game ac-
cording to rules of play and system of
penalties different from those taught the
Stanford boys by Coach flanagan, who
has been giving them the latest rules Of
the game as played by the New Zealand
team, probably the finest aggregation of
Rugby players In the world. The boys
became disgruntled over the various de-
cisions of the referee and the game be-
came sluggish. neither team playing with
much vim in the second half.
While the game was rot great sue
cess it was clean, sportsmanlike con-
test and nothing but the most friendly
of feeling existed between the players on
both sides from beginning to end of the
contest.
The Stanford men were hustled into au-
tomobiles as soon as the game was fin
ished and were rushed to the Lanker-
SHIN, where they changed their costumes
and were again whizzed down to the Ar
cade depot in time to catch the o'clock
train for San Francisco. A number of
the Castaway players went to the sta
tion to hid the visitors good by, and
there was some talk of return match to
come Off before Christmas. If this plan
is carried through the Castaways will
gather together one of the strongest
teams of southern Rugby players and will
play against both Stanford and the Uni
versity of California.

! TEAM VICTORIOUS OVER LOCALS
HY HAINEs w. REED

N the first game OF the season tne
Cardinal Rugby players from STAN
- ford university were victorious over
the local Castaway team at Fiesta park
yesterday afternoon by a score OF Is to
IL. Every one was delighted with the
playing of the Castaways, for 1t was pre-
dicted the local team would not be able
to score against the collegians, who have
been training for over month under the
competent direction of Coaches flanagan
and Presley
Brilliant individual playing scored the
points for the Castaways. Pat Higgins
was easily the star of the day, and made
all three touchdowns, which gave the
Castaways their score. 1t was beauti-
full sight to see Higgins running with the
ball in an open field. Even speedy little
Fenton, fu1lback on the Stanford team,
missed him twice when he was running
for the goal. Higgins is probably one of
the best Rugby players on the coast, and
IL the strongest man on the local team.
From the standpoint of the audience
the game was dull, slow and sluggish.
Southern California has never been
treated to real game of Rugby, such
as is played farther north, when the Van
couver players come down to meet the
teams from the two universities. A real
game of Rugby played by an English
team is as pleasing a spectacle as an
audience could wish to witness, but the
pOOT lHitdtlOHS OIL Nlue EIlSliSH game tudt
have been forced upon the public of
Southern California are sufficient to ac-
count for the general apathy for the new
game.
Yesterdays game demonstrated the we'll
known fact that Rugby match depends
for its success too much on the referee.
There are almost no players on this coast
qualified to referee a game. Yesterdays
contest was marred by wrangling with
the official from beginning to end.
There was a fairly good crowd out to
Witness the contest, notwithstanding the
unsettled and threatening cndition of the
weather.
Stanford Well Supported
big bunch of Stanford supporters
gathered on the bleachers at an early
hour, among them a larCe portion of the
local Stanford club, which went out in
body. These men supported their team
throughout the game with college yells
and roofing
Kennie Fenton, the plucky Stanford
fullback, did some of the best work in
the back field. Fenton was a star player
at the old American game, holding the
position of quarterback when the STAN
ford varsity last played against Califor-
nia.t Fenton has acquired the Rugby
form of punting the ball, kicking with
either foot and while on the run.
Captain Koerner of the Stanford team
also did some brilliant playing for the
Cardinal. Contrary to expectation the
Stanford serum held together better than
the serum of their opponents, but the
university men were weak in their back
field work
The lineup OF the two teams was as

CLAREMONT, Oct 5.-The annual
reshman-sophomore football game took
place here this afternoon before crowded
bleachers of loyal class adherents. When
the game finally ended the score stood 0
to o. This is practically victory for the
second year men, because by keeping the
freshmen from winning the lower class
men lose the right to spring canes as a
sign of superiority.
Not since the class of 1902 were fresh
men have the first year men won.
Great rivalry has been manifested of
late owing to the loss of Waldin and Col
Inns to 1910 and an unusually large amount
Of material in the incoming class

pupted out of danger, and the half ended
with the ball in the ffeshmen's territory.
Neither side was able to score or make

slight advantage in this half.

COMMISSION SENDS
REPORT TO CONGRESS ON
OIL INVESTIGATION.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The inter-
state commerce commission has sent
to congress report of the investiga-
tions made by it under the Tillman-
Gillespie resolution concerning the re-
lations of common carriers by rail to
the production and distribution of oil.
The report covers the distribution OF
petroleum and it's products east OF the
Mississippi river and, incidentally, the
Kansas and Texas fields. The report
points out generally the methods by
which the Standard Oh company has
built up and perpetuated it's monopoly
and the relations of transportation
agencies to that monopoly" It is as
serted that "the ruin of its Compel
itors has been a distinct part of the
policy of the Standard Oil company
in the past, systematically and per-
sietently pursued"

Declared Void and the Payment Of
Dividends on That and Other Wa.
tered Stock Be Enjoined.
st. Paul, Jan. 25.-Suit against the
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba
railroad and Great Northern to for
felt the charter of the Manitoba road
was brought during the day by r. T.
Young, attorney general
The petition In the suit, papers In
which were filed by Sheriff Gerber,
asks that the stock issued by tho
Great Northern on the assets of the
Manitoba road be declared void and
the payment of dividends on it en-
Joined. Mr.. Young made tho follow
ing statement concerning the suit:
1.-THE suit to forfeit the charter OF
the Manitoba is instituted for the rea-
son that since Feb. 1, 1890, when 1t
transferred it's railroad property to
the Great Northern, it has ceased to
perform the functions for which it
was created and for the further rea-
son that the latter company has Is
sued a very large amount of watered
stock, which We claim Is void.
Claims Tax Exemption.
1.-THE Great Northern has all along
claimed that it is exempt from the
operation of the increased gross earn
tngs tax because it claims that the
original charter of the Minnesota and
Pacific provided it immunity from any
increase. The Manitoba road claims
to have acquired the same immunity
by purchase We are convinced that
the speediest way to dispose of this
claim to exemption is to wipe out the
Manitoba charter and compel the
Great Northern to pay the per cent
tax the same as other companies.
! 1--WE are also of the opinion that
the Great Northern should not be al
lowed to continue to pay dividends on
watered stock heretofore issued and
that it should be required to show
whether it's large amount Of stock
; which appears to be fictitious, has any
right to further recognition as part OF
its capitalization"

historic episodes in his speeches.
BY nature Gen. Logan was inclined
to be heroic, and so after the war,
after reading much about the beauti-

honoring their dead heroes with cere-
monies and flowers at annual fes.

inspiration that it would be a patriot.
ic and popular thing to likewise honor
the dead soldiers of our own country
in a similar way. He held that to
decorate the soldiers graves once a

It was fact, as he well knew.

and his movement was soon organized
and made of national Importance.
Grand Army postss were established
