fornias figures show a little better
than do Stanford's. Both teams came
out about even as far as the Bar
barian games were concerned. Stan
ford beat St Mary's and when Cali
fornia played the college team they
had improved wonderfully. Taking
this into account, California's per-
formance against st. Mary's was much
better than the figures show. Against
San Jose the school boys crossed Stan
ford's line once, but could not against
California.
Taking these things into account 1t
looks a little brighter for the Califor-
MIA team than for Stanford, but the
difference is not as great as last year.
Last year the California baby team
played four preliminary games, scor-
ing 81 points, and they had p points
registered against them. Stanford ba-
bies last year played two games. scor-
ing 19 points with nothing against
them.

morous situations arise through the
masquerade of young army lieuten-
ant who dons the livery of a groom
in order to win the heart of his fair
young employer. The stage version
was furnished by Grace Livingston
Furniss. The book is followed closely,
as far as the plot is concerned, but
much of the dialogue is new. Mr.. Fig
man is one of the best known come
dians on the American stage Fortu-
nately he comes here in a comedy
which has met with large success
elsewhere and supported by company
of ability.
ORPHEUM-Few men in the theat-
rical world are better known than
Charles E. Evans, who appears at the
head of the Orpheum list for the week
commencing with tomorrow's matinee.
Evans graduated from vaudeville into
the legitimate, and now he is back in
variety with one of the most laugha-
bic farces he has eyer presented on the
stage. Since the days when Evans
and Hoey kept the whole country in
convulsions of laughter with "a Par
lor Match" the comedian, it is said
has had nothing to equal "It's Up to
You, William" as a laugh getter
George Arliss, the author of Evans
comedy, is we'll known as a clever ac-
tor and was seen here not long since
in support of Mrs. Fisl1e. The Dune
din troupe of bicyclists come to the Or
pheum direct from the New York Hip
podrome, where they were the greatest
attraction in their class during the
past season. Fredericks brothers and
Miss Burns offer a musical act, with
