Jeff Roberts, who was formerly a
citizen Of Versailles, was conducting
a rcfreshmcnt stand on West Newton
street during the Horse Show last
week, and it seemed 10 Constable

rather hilarious outfit, so set a trap to
see if it was a ''blind ,igcr'' captur-
ing the proprietor and a supply Of

Tuesday, but owning to the absence
Of Mr.. Roberts attorney, Dan Wray,
at TusCumbia, the trial was postponed
until next Monday. In the mean
time Jeff is boarding with Sheriff Will

Freshmen Ready for the
Big Rugby Battle
Chances of California and STAN
ford Varsity Babies Are
Considered
By William Unmack

The intercollegiate Rugby struggle
between the freshmen of California
and Stanford universities Will take
place saturday Last year the blue
and gold freshies defeated Stanford
babies by 1s TO 0. The blue and gold
team was admittedly one of the finest
first year teams at either Rugby or in
tercollegiate that has ever gone into
the field. They played excellent Rugby
and their combination was all that
could be desired. This years baby
team does not seem to be quite up to
the standard OF last years team. but
II is formidable aggregation and one
that viii give a good account of itself
Stanford has good first year team
this year, and the students at Palo
Alto place greater faith in their team
this year TO bring them their first baby
Rugby victory.
Last year the Stanford babies went
into the field determined TO do their
best, and they had the enthusiasm.
MORE EVENLY MATCHED
This year the teams seem more
evenly matched. and the Stanford boys
are by no means backward in say
ing that it looks like an even break
this year for the freshmen game"
That Is as far as their confidence
