STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 10
Stanford university will be represented
in a series of games during the summer

the men of the varsity fifteen want to
spend their long vacation in this man
ner. Manager j. e. Stewart of the stu
dent body said today that the financial
end of the trip was fully insured and
that 1t was practically up to the men.
Stewart wrote to the unions in the an

ing proposal from the Australians but
has not received reply. He expects to
hear from this source daily but from
Vancouver comes the strongest encour-

has received an invitation to take a
team to the antipodes during the sum-
mer, with all expenses paid. This will
be impossible for the northerners, as
most of the men are in business and
could not leave their positions for that
length of time. Woodward, who is a
to Stewart that Stanford could travel
on the Vancouver invitation, and Stew

PLAYERS themselves.
Captain D. p Crawford said today
that he did not know what conclusion
would be reached by the players, but he
would call meeting soon and the pro-
