STANFORD'S RUGBY
TEAM MAY GO TO
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Jan. lG-
prominent Rugby enthusiast Of
New Zealand has written to President
David Starr Jordan asking as 10 the
possibility Of the cardinal Rugby team.
which lately made a successful tour OF
Canada, journeying to Australasia the
coming summer for series OF games.
While the writer makes no definite
financial offer he infers that ne repre-
sents the united interests Of the islands
m his proposition and that the fnanc-
ing OF the trip would be the least of
the difficulties. Many games in New
Zealand and trip 10 Australia. four
days steamer trip distant. are suggest
ed, and the writer asserts that en-
thusiasm would overrun all bounds at
the prospect OF a series Of games be-
tween the leading collegiate Rugby
team OF America and the all-star
aggregation which a year ago last
autumn made a clean sweep Of the
world in Rugby matches.
There need be no fear Of a handicap
from climatic conditions, adds the New
Iealander. stanford could leave
American shores late in May, imme-
diately after the close Of college, land
the cardinal team would then arrive
here just about the middle OF our win
ter season. Our stormy months, too.
49, f~Ae rAAAAAcA 70 ALOSt OA the winter
season in California, and your team
would not be even so seriously handi-
capped by climatic conditions as it must
have been in Vancouver"
Inc proposition has been received
with enthusiasm on the campus, and
II is expected that correspondence viii
be entered into at once with the view
OF consummating the plan il possible.
president Jordan believes the trip not
al al out Of the range Of possibility.
and sees no reason why Stanford can
not take the islanders at their word
The most serious question which pre-
sents itself is that OF practice The
Rugby team has now broken up for
the year. Many Of the players are de-
Naing themselves 10 other sports. and
coach flanagan is engaged in the de-
Nelopment OF the baseball squad. To be
IN mt condition 10 meet the New Zea-
landers, the cracks of the world at
Rugby, the collegians would need any
amount Of hard training and team prac-
tce, and il is feared that in the busy
Whlrl or the spring semester il would
be impossible 10 obtain this.

Mr.. McGill said he thought the proposed
measures were designed to drive the small
dealers out of business and concentrate the
meat business in the big dealers in the mar
ket houses. The small butchers were put
out of business some years ago by the
health office regulations. he said: and now,
he thought, 1t was proposed to stop the
sale Of meats by grocers.
From Consumer Standpoint.
Dr. Charles Allen addressed the meeting
giving his views from a consumers stand
point. He started out by saying that the
proposed law seemed to try to say where
the consumer shall buy his meats. and for
that reason he was opposed to 1t. He drove
few hot shots at DR.. woodward. declar-
ing him to be an alarmist along the bac.
terra line, and declared his judgment is
wrong in many matters. Other speakers
were A. 8. Trundle, treasurer Of the Local
Milk Dealers Association; A. H. Gregory
the new secretary Of the Retail Grocers
Association, and President Otterback.
The objects Of the Retail Grocers' Asso-
citation were presented to the audience In
a speech by Mr.. Gregory, and many mem.
bers were added to the rolls.

side. Resolutions against this clause were
adopted and steps were made to bring the
views of the local grocers to the attention
of Congress.
While the meeting was called for the spe-
cihc purpose Of protesting against this
clause the occasion was taken to denounce
many other things. The proposed broad
fire bill the new chicken regulations, the
district Commissioners, Health Officer
woodward and other subjects and person
ages were discussed with good deal OF
Animation. The general trend OF the dis
cussion was to the effect that there is too
much legislation for the District Of Column
bia and too many regulations with which
to restrict the residents VI the city.

Situation Explained.
p. B. Otterback, president of the grocers'
association, called the meeting to order and
acted as its chairman. At the opening he
presented Charles F. Diggs, attorney for
the association, who spoke on the proposed
clause in the bill now before Congress. Mr..

proposed was amended in the House so
that retail dealers In meat would not come
