Coffroth has an option on Nelson and
Mcfarland for either Thanksgiving or

Australian Rugby Men
Will Play Here
Promise to Come to San Fran
cisco i'm January or February
on Return Trip
By William Unmack

News has been received from Van
couver that had Stanford and Cali
fornia univ ersities been affiliated with
the British Rugby union the Austria
liam team which met the northerners
undoubtedly would have played here.
Woodward of Vancouver was untir-
ing in his efforts to have the team
come here, but the best he could do
was to get the British manager to
promise to have the Australians play
in San Francisco on their homeward
tour. Woodward says in a letter.
'Harnett pledged himself that the
Australians would positively play in
your city in January or February, then
come up to Vancouver"
This is good news and means the
team will come direct to San Fran
cisco from New York, play here and
go to British Columbia
Concerning the coming visit of the
Canadians to play Stanford and Cali
fornia, the union in Vancouver is GO
ing to profit by past. experiences and
vious years. To DO this they intend to
combine with Victoria and Nanaimo
Rugby unions, and the team will thus
be thoroughly representative of Brit
ish Columbia rather than a combined
Vancouver team such as has visited
here before. With this combination an
extra strong team will be put in the
field.
The Canadians have received an in
vitation from the Australian Rugby
unions to send a team to Australia
next year under the Jurisdiction of the
Vancouver union.
Woodward is not sure whether a
Canadian team strong enough could be
got together to make the trip, and if
not it is possible a combined Ameri-
can and Canadian team might be sent.
In such a case teams, universities and
colleges belonging to. the local Rugby
union will be drawn from and a spien-
did team could be selected
The British football team complete
ly outmatched the Vancouver team and
won by 7 goals and s tries (59 points,
to / goal (5 points,. Woodward saws:
