ATHLETES PROVE TO BE
BEST COLLEGE STUDENTS
STATISTICS SHOW THEY MAKE
FEWER FAILURES
appointment of Prof. Wlckson Means
Upbuiding of Agricultural College.
Proportion of Men in ENROLL
ment Increases

BERKELEY, Sept. 20-The authorities
of the university have made an investiga-
ton of the scholarship records of the ath-
letes of the university for the past two
years, and have found some very interest
ing facts. In the two years ninety-seven
freshmen have played on freshman teams,
which include football, track and rowing.
OF this number but five have failed to
come up to the scholarship requirements,
which makes better showing than that
among non-athletic students.
In the two years 100 men have been
either on varsity or freshman track teams,
and of this number not a single case of
failure in studies has been recorded. The
failures of football men have not been
any greater than that among the average
students of the university.
To sum up: The total number of cases
| Investigated was over 200. and the per-
centage of those who failed to meet the
| scholarship requirements of the faculty
was little less than five, which is
slightly better than the usual record OF
students in the university.
| A very significant thing regarding tht
student enrolment at Berkeley this years
| is the continued increase In the percentage
of men as compared with women. This
year 81 per cent of the regular under
graduate body are men. Last year the
! percentage was SO, and the year before 81
| The total enrolment at the University
of California, graduate and undergradu'
ate, is 259S, as against 2474 year ago al
this time. The Increased number of mer
does not seem to be due to any disinclina'
tion on the part of women to attend the
university. but rather to the new fields
opening up to men. In the last few years
the university has developed new course:
In commerce, architecture, irrigation
forestry. sanitary engineering. electricity
| and mining engineering.

Directors of A. A. A. Gather In Force,

to Head Committee
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-William K. Van
derbilt, jr, attended the directors meet
ing of the American Automobile associa-
tion at the office in Fifth avenue today
and fifteen directors were present, the
largest number ever brought together in
one of the regular meetings.
The most important fact, in the opinion
of President w. H. Hotchkiss, was the
adoption OF a resolution appointing a
committee to bring up prominently the
question for final decision whether or not
the association should continue to sane
tion automobile contests of any kind on
circular tracks.
In view of the presence of Mr.. Van
derbilt and the general anxiety in motor
circles to learn something definite about
the Vanderbilt cup race for 1908 and the
prospects of the Long Island motor park
way, it had been expected that some for
NAL statement would be forthcoming.
Neither the question of the Wander
bilt cup race for 1905 nor that of the
Long Island motor parkway was dis
cussed." said President Hotchkiss. I'VE
were busy with other matters of import
ance for the future of the association.
1 can only say that 1 fully believe the
cup race will come off next year.
President Hotchkiss will head the spe-
cial committee on automobile contests.

n 1ya;tb of Vancouver has given to
NJ varcouver Rugby union q magrihcent
perpetual challenge cup to be compe.su
for each year by the winning team Oh tne
union and Stanford and California uiii-
versities.
Vancouver expects to send team oowli w
to san Francisco some time during the
coming season; but the donor of the cup
desires that the contest for 1t be held IN
british Columbia. Both of the universi-
Ties should under this arrangement seno
teams up there, to play the vancouver
Victoria or Nanaimo teams, which make
nm the Rugby union. The rules TO govern
the contest have not yet been drawn up
but a committee for that purpose mas
been appointed in Vancouver.
both stanford and California are work
ING hard to develop their Rugby teams
for this years contests. 1ne series OF
class games at Stanford are being played
off The first scrimmage work or the
season took place last Saturday, when the
juniors lined up against the seniors ana
the freshmen against the sophomores.
The juniors won their match, 80, while
the sophomores were victorious by a
score of to 0. The students are becom-
ing more interested in Rugby than they
were last year, and the oieacners are wen
filled at practice games. The players VINO
showed up best in Saturdays games were
Vandervoort Terrill Rogers, Reynolds,
Cook, Cline and Reed.

the capacity of advisory coach, mas peen

al
very confident about breaking the hoodoo
that has hung over their camp during the
last few seasons.
A strong agitation is on foot at Cali
fornia to abolish the rule excluding fresh
men from participating in intercollegiate
athletics.
Stanford freshmen are not excluded by
any such rule and the players at Califor-
mia believe this gives the cardinals an
advantage. AT the last meeting of the
academic senate of the University of
California Prof. Magee made a strong
plea for the abolition of the rule barring
freshmen from intercollegiate athletics.
He produced statistics to prove that var
sity athletics did not interfere with the
scholastic standing of freshmen.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of
California favors excluding freshmen be-
cause he believes they should devote
themselves to work during their hrst
term at college and because 1t Will tend
to discourage men from coming to college
for the express purpose of playing foot
ball or taking part in some other branch
of college athletics. Many of the coll
leges Of the middle west exclude fresh
men from varsity athletics during the
| first six months of their college career.
| This insures the university against pro-
| lfessionalism In athletics.

cause of the heavy condition of the
field caused by the rains of the past

there was good attendance, and the

that with bright day and dry field

VISITS DENVER
Made Speech to an Immense and Appreciatve
Audience at the Capitol Grounds, Made
Statement Concerning Labor Trouble

Denver, Aug. 2s.-The chief event of
busy day for Secretary Taft was a
speech at the capitol grounds at 1890
to an immense ana appreciative au-
dience. His speech was a repitition OF
the one he delivered in Columbus, Ohio
last week
This was Taft DAY in Denver ana
the big secretary WAS given reception
which left no doubt as to his welcome.
1t was strenuous day from the time
his private secretary stepped from the
Pullman and announced that the dis
tinguished guest was putting ON his col
lar until late in the afternoon. There
were auto rides, conferences with poll
tical leaders, luncheon, reception,
speeches and everything else that could
be crowded into busy day and the
man who most enjoyed all these was
Secretary of War, William H. Taft.
Just as the train came to stand
still tile reception committee lined up
and waited the appearance of their
guest.
"Good morning, Mr.. Taft said
Chairman Vivian of the Republican
state central committee and then be

Mr.. Taft shook hands and the secretary
recognized in our congressman his for

incident but replied that he had met

be called out.
President Small was reported today
tC have been in conference with Off
cials Of the Associated Press but noLh-
ing could be learned as to the result.
The big news gathering concern is
known to be badly crippled outside Of
the big cities. Appeals are being made
to all operators to return to their places
but the operators generally treat these
appeals with derision and say they will
stay out till Christmas if necessary.
At the strike headquarters it was
said that the prospect for winning the
strike was never better than at pres
ent. President Small says the strikers
have sufficient funds and hand and
guaranteed to enable them to hold out
till the first of the year.
