STANFORD'S TRACK

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. s.
With the opening of the spring SEM
ester Stanford students are interested
in learning what track material there
is in college, and what the chances are
for winning team to meet the blue

outlook is either very gloomy or very
bright Stanford will have we'll bal
anced team, fairly strong in all depart
ments.
The return Of Elmo Cope, '0S, of San
Francisco adds materially to the car

the former event Captain mcfarland,

the weights by the return Of Crawford.

The jumps appear to be the cardi-

All That Is Required
Is a Club to Make
a Fair Offer
By r. A. Sr11ytf1

Billy Delaney's sweeping challenge
to Jack O'Brien on behalf of Al Kauf-
man has met with a ready response
Jack Cribbins. o'Brien's representative,
said last night that O'Brien would be
glad to give the young boxer a return
match, and that, to show his earnest
ness, he would allow Kaufman to name
all conditions governing the contest.
This Will include the date on which 1t
is to be fought, the division OF the
money and all the little details which
form the basis of the match.
O'Brien is matched to fight Burns
in Los Angeles, but this is not ex-
pected to interfere with any other
match he might make. Kaufman on
the other hand, has been ordered to
take a rest of two months by his care
full trainer. Billy Delaney. and he prob
ably would not want to fight before
that time. Cribbins suggests that ar
ticles be signed and that the date of
the match be put where it will not
interfere with the other plans of the
boxers.
O'Brien is at Ely, New, with Tex
Richard at the present time, and it
Cans at the middleweight limit will
be arranged before he returns here.
The match is contingent upon both
men winning whatever fights they may
take part in between now and the
Fourth of July, upon which date, 1t
is expected, they will meet. There are
many who predict that Cans will win.
although they are not allowing for the
fact that O'Brien probably will have
but little difficulty in making the
required weight IN the dry Nevada air.
Mike Riley, the Tonopah promoter,
is going ahead with his preparations
for series of four fights. the Cans
Britt affair to be the browning event
of the March boxing carnival. He
has signed Jimmy Gardner and
Honey" Melody as one brace of boxers
and will make two other matches to
complete his card. He plans to spend
100000 in purses. Down here the pre-
vailing opinion is that one big fight,
well advertised, would do better than

Races at ASCOT Park Are Run
IN Mud Fetlock Deep

Los ANGELES, Jan. s.-More like a
creek than race track was the course
at Ascot today. It rained all last night
and all OF today. The mud was fet-
lock deep and it required racers that
were good on both land and sea to
negotiate the going.
George Rose failed to appear on the
block this afternoon and viii not be
seen in his familiar place for the next
three days. Rose is i'll and has decided
70 stay out OF the game until the nexl

cut in. and two field books took care Of

new man IN the line today.

Rains probably was the better lilly.

JAPANESE SCHOOL
SUITS PLANNED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-Attorney
General Bonaparte has DECIDED that
the case Of the Federal Government
against the Board of Education of San
Francisco TO determine the rights of
the Japanese children to attend the
white children's schools will be filed
next week. Bohaparte had brief con-
ference with President Roosevelt on
this subject today.
United States District Attorney Dew
lin OF San Francisco, who has been
here for ten days consulting with the
Attorney General and President Roose-
welt on the question, has completed
his work and will return home to-
morrow.
1t is understood that the case will
be presented in both the United States
District and Circuit courts, and that
the action will be against the Board
of Education to compel II to allow the
Japanese children TO attend the white
children's public schools in accordance
with the incorporation by the admin

Jack Brien Is Willing to Give Kaufman Return Match
Phiadelphian viii Permit His
RUal to Name the Terms

a number of fights which would divert
the attention of the ring goers.
Ben Selig, who represents Cans here,
has wired him that he should be on
the ground three full weeks before the
fight. Cans is expected to make UP
his theatrical circuit in accordance
with this plan. He has volunteered
his services for the McGovern benefit,
which will be held in New York City
on January %.
The first of the applications for per-
mits for twenty round fights in this
city this year was filed yesterday by
the National Athletic Club. The date
is set for late in the month, but no
intimation is given as to what boxers
it is intended to present.
Unless the Tonopah fighters raise
an objection to fighting on Sunday.
March II, 1t is likely that Manager
Riley will adhere TO that date. In re-
ply to wire yesterday he said:
"As far as we know the fight will
come off on March IL"
The Central Club has some good tai
ent on it's card for tomorrow night.
There will be six fights In all, but
interest centers in the special events.
In the main bout of the evening Tad
Reardon will meet in Joe Long by
far the hardest man he has yet en-
countered. AS each is a mixer with
a punch, it hardly seems possible that
1t will go the limit. Both Henry Jones
and AL Emmick have trained faith
fully to get down to the required
weight of lis pounds. and as both can
fight strongly at the weight slash
ing bout is looked for. Kyle Whitney,
the colored welterweight, and Mike
Mcclure will box at 145 pounds. There
will be three preliminaries.
