Stanford Athletic Teams Plan
Trips to Other Points
Special Dispatch to The can

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. "a
Trips to other points now seem assured
for the baseball and track teams
and the rowing crew. The base
of Nevada at Reno has been
settled for some time, arrangements vir-
tually are complete for sending the
track squad to Oregon and a fattering
offer has come from Los Angeles to
the boating men, guaranteeing all their
expenses if they will travel to the
southwark some time before the inter-
collegiate regatta. In addition to this
offer, which was made by a land COM
pany, the southerners will put up sill
YER trophy as memento OF the occa-
sion, to be retained by the cardinal
oarsmen- The only drawback is that
there are no eights rowing in the
southern waters, and Murphy would
have to break UP his crew to compete
against the boat clubs OF Los Angeles
and San Diego. However, this obtec-
tfon has been waived and as soon as
the sanction Of the executive committee
is obtained arrangements for the trip
will be completed.
new and rather unexpected factor
has been injected into the track dis
pute in the attitude which the mem
bers of the track team themselves are
taking. They are strongly opposed to
any CESSATION OF intercollegiate rela-
tions, for reasons outside OF the fact
that they are confident Of victory over
California should a meeting be held
Training on the cinders is the most
arduous of all athletic work, probably,
and the great incentive has been the
chance OF winning a varsity letter
The athletes are not willing to put in
three months training with no pros
pect of reward More than that. the
situation here this year is unusual in
that there are a number OF good men
who have worked conscientiously for
three or more years and established
their ability as athletes beyond ques-
tion, but who have never been given an
opportunity to win the honor of a var
sity letter. One of these is Nash, prob
ably the greatest varsity distance man
who has ever run on the coast He
is now IN his senior year. has won nu-
merous races for the cardinal, has set
new mark on the varsity track and
yet has never won a letter.
Friends of the sport assert that. a
cessation of relations this spring
would give athletics a black eye. The
situation is just beginning to be appre-
ciated, and the cooler heads among the
student body realize that some action
ought to be taken TO end the deadlock

ALBION R0VERs CINCH
SOCkER CHAMPIONSHIP

OAKLAND, Feb. 23.-A busy little
bunch of Albion Rovers got away with
the Oakland Hornets in an association
football game this afternoon by a score

Rovers have led the procession for G
long time with the Hornets as the
contenders.
The first eleven OF the Hornets be-
ing on a pilgrimage to Sacramento,
some difficulty was experienced in get
ting together representative team,
and when the contestants finally lined
up the red and white brigade were
still two men shy. The official referee
also was missing, but after some delay
it was decided that Bob Shand should
take charge of the game.
With eleven men opposed to nine It
is not hard to figure how the game
went. The Rovers buzzed around the
eager Hornets during the first half to
the tune of three goals to nil. In the
concluding period the insects made sun
dry attempts to reduce the leeway but
the Albions apparently knew a snap
when they saw one and kept piling on
the agony until the score read a half
dozen goals. This was enough and
the solitary point won by the Red and
Whites did not help much.
Mckenzie and Waeber of the frs Z
team were included in the ranks of
the Hornets and did their best Dono-
hue, a recent arrival from Scotland,
played a great game for the Rovers
and will be included in the first eleven
hereafter. Other Rovers who distin-
guished themselves were Russell and
Wilson.
The Hornet custodian was weak
worse than that and then someLand
had he had an elementary knowledge
of the game he could have stopped at
least three of the tallies registered
against his side.

The concluding tie in the first round
of the cup competition will be played
tomorrow afternoon. when the Inde-
pendents and San Franciscos will line
up. The game is to take place at
Freeman's Park. The Scotias and YAM
pires will provide curtain raiser.

OF the other riders DR.. W. j. Smyth and
H. Parsons each piloted one winner.
The race for the Ladies Plate was
won by Ulctma, which was named by
Mrs. Rudolph Spreckels. The race was
a renewal of the struggle between the
Spreckels mare and Midlove, the daugh-
ter of Midlothian from the Clark sta
Bile. The former won by an open
length and was full of running at the
finish. She showed first at the start
and maintained her advantage through
out. The victory of the cerise with
green feur de lis, the SpreckeIs colors,
vigorously applauded upon returning TO
the scale. Mrs: Spreckels was warmly
congratulated for having nominated the
winner in this race.
The fiesta of sports will be brought
to conclusion this afternoon. when
the final game of the polo tournament
will be played on Mr.. Clark's field. The
opposing teams will represent Bur
lingame and Santa Barbara
won a game in the tournament and in
the line obtainable on their form they
seem closely matched. 1t is thought
the Burlingame men will have the ad-
all showing marked class. The game
will be commenced at o'clock and
will be open TO the general public. 1t
is expected to attract large attend
ance from the vicinity of San Mateo.

not argue that he really is no better
than g selling platter. Selling platers,
as we have come to understand the
phrase, do not run one and a quarter

A study Of his career can produce
but one conclusion: that Voladay was
in bad hands until Cahin got him.
This, Notwithstanding the fact that he
has always paid his way. He was a
bargain for his first owner a good in
vestment for his second and a genuine
bargain for his third, yet with better
handling he might not have injured
the leg that put him in the list of
"cripplesT and it is certain that he
would have earned more money. AS 1t
is he has far outstripped the average
thoroughbred in earning capacity.

previously won at the same distance
over a fast track with 1T pounds up

winning races were in the mud. Thus
he showed early that mud running was
his game. From Z. r. Thomas Voladay

Wheeler. who sent him to the post

Remarkable Record Made
by Miller During the
Present Season
Results to Date

Jockey Walter Miller terminated his
local engagement yesterday. and with
his parents and manager James Fitz-
simmons, will depart for the East to-
day! The boy made a remarkable rec
ord in the eleven weeks that he was
in the saddle here. riding no less than
SO winners out OF 275 chances which
is about 36 per cent. Deducting the
week that he was on the ground under
suspension for foul riding. to which he
was addicted in the early part of his
engagement. he averaged about ten
winners a week. If he maintains this
average throughout 1907 it Is evident
that he will excel his own worlds
record Of 3SS winning mounts, made in
1906. Aside from the tendency to ride
roughshod over the other boys, which
he showed soon after making his debut
here, his engagement has given salts
faction to local racegoers. even though
hts presence IN the saddle has had a
tendency to demoralize betting as the
layers frequently took advantage CT
his popularity and prowees to quote
shorter prices against his mounts than
were warranted by their performances
It is estimated that Milier's earnings
during tho eleven weeks that he rode
here amounted to about $4,000 His rid
ing fees footed UP $4,000 and the re-
tainer which he received from Presi-
dent T. H. Williams Of the New Cali
fornie Jockey Club. to whom he was
under contract, coupled with a gift Of
$1,000 presented to him yesterday by
Williams in appreciation of his serv
ices, made up the balance His most
notable performance during the
gagement was accomplished during the
past week, when he set g new record
for tho season By plotting ave horses
to victory In ene day.
The boy takes East with him the
we'll wishes of The local "aeegeing pub
lie and his work in the saddle, with
the beginning % the BsnHiags meeting
or March 2s. will be followed with IN

James Fitzsimmons. Miller's mana
ger, made many friends among the
owners and turfn1en generally by hi3
fair treatment of all with whom he
came into contact and his unfailil g
courtesy and consideration. He goes
to Delaware in reaching the East TO
take up a string Of horses that he will
train during the coming season.

Charles w. Clarks polo and race pa
vilion at Ell Palomar, his country place
near San Mateo, was dedicated to sport
yesterday under the finest of auspices.
The scene was a reproduction in minia
ture of a day at a great metropolitan
racetraek, every detail being carried
out by the officials according to the
strict rules Of racing. ne artistic pa
vilion was thronged with members of
the fashionable set, while the people
of the countryside filed the public
stand and formed fringe along the
home stretch. Automobiles and smart
eQuipages were parked along the inner
fence, making a brave showing.
The sport provided was in keeping
with the attendance. While all the
races were good. it remained for the
race for the Burlingame cup, which had
been presented by Francis j. Carolan,
to provide the great struggle of the
day. The distance was six furlongs and
four went to the post. The race was

but when DR.. J. A. Edmonds finally sent
them away they were well aligned.
Marsh led off with Blue Knot. but was
soon joined by Parsons on Rusticate.
After the first quarter the ponies ran
stride for stride. Blue Knot had the
advantage of the inside position, which
was sufficient to give it the verdict at
the wire by short head.
The honors of the day were shared by
Charles w. Clark and II. Marsh. The
beautiful copper colors of the former
were carried to victory by three of his
horses, while young Marsh rode four
winners and almost qualified to have his
name bracketed with that of Walter
Miller. the crack professional race rider.
