College Oarsmen Principal At
traction at Water Meet
in Naples

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. rs
Stanford university will be represented
in the big midwinter regatta to be held
at Naples. Southern California. Thanks
giving day, at which the best oarsmen
of the coast will be entered. This was
decided today by the members of the
boat club in response to a telegram re-
ceived recently, in which the southern
authorities offered to meet all expenses
incurred by the cardinals; stating that
the Stanford crew is regarded as the
main drawing card at the regatta and
we are anxious to have you represented
by four"
The southern regatta is an annual
dHdlr. Two years ago Stanford was
represented by crew which captured
hrst place honors. The varsity men who
are not engaged in other athletics have
already been in light training, and from
now on will put in some hard work on
the track and rowing machines. Coach
Turner will probably have charge of
the crew and may go as coXswain. The
regatta will contain representatives
from the Los Angeles rowing club, the
San Diego rowing club. the Dolphin
club Of San Francisco, besides several
other minor organizations. The Stan
ford rowers who have been training
be picked are as follows: Gay, Cole,
Wondries, Reynolds, Malone, Vose,
Chamberlain. Killian, Day and Dole.
Twenty-three members of the varsity
Rugby squad, together with Coach Pres
ley, Trainer Moulton and Manager
Stewart, left Palo Alto this morning
for Berkeley, where they will witness
the first Rugby game between the blue
and gold fifteen and the Vancouver
team.
Tickets for the rooters at the varsity
M mn
system this year which differs ma
terially from that attempted in the
past, and corresponds very closely with
that of Harvard. Under the new plan
the tickets will be disposed of upon a
lottery basis and in lots of ten as a
maximum. Deposits Will be made and
the number of tickets desired given.
In case the purchasers desire less than
10 tickets the seats can be taken from
the package and the broken packa ge,
properly labeled, will be returned to a
separate grab baA
do away with speculation upon the part
of undergraduates and outsiders. AS no
tickets are returnable, the chance of
others will make ''scalpers'' hesitate.
The sale of the tickets will probably
begin the last of the week or the first
of next. depending upon the arrival of
tickets from Berkeley.
The chain of injuries which has fol-
lowed tho varsity squad during the last
weeks of practice still continues to
harass the efforts of the coaches to
get the best fifteen together in suits at
one time Last night ex-Captain w.
Koerner, the star forward of the front
rank, sprained his ankle so severely
that he will be kept out of the game for
at least ] o days. This will mean that he
can practice but one scant week prior
to the big intercollegiate struggle.
Last night Ganong joined the squad. for
active practice, and Scott was out for a
short time and is rapidly getting
stronger. Cadwalader. who wrenched
his knee last week, is not able to play
yet, but will probably be in shape for
the Vancouver games.
Due to the fact that several men of
the team which was picked to compete
in the p. A. A. meet in Oakland Satur-
day are on the probation list. which is
constructed to apply primarily to in
tercolfegiate affairs. the faculty COM
mittee on delinquent scholarship has
sent letters to three of the most prom
Using of the athletes. The letters sim
ply call the attention of the students to
the fact that they are on probation and
that they are warned against competi-
ton. The notices are sent out over the
signature of DR.. G. H. Gilbert, chair
man of the committee. and were re-
ceived last night. The men have de-
cided to withdraw from the meet, and
the Stanford team will be crippled as a
result.
