Law School Lads and Pomona Also
on the Calendar for Gridiron
Struggle at Fiesta
Park
BY CHARLES JERNEGAN

Fast football, Rugby and American,
and plenty of it is the gridiron pro-
gram for this afternoon. Seldom have
Angel city football fans been treated
to as much class right here at home as
should result when the whistles blow
today.
Although the American game will
have its full quota of supporters, the
banner contest of the day will take
place at Baer field when the flower of
the Cardinals, the much-touted and
famous Stanford fifteen, goes against
Crouch's Castaways for two halves
of the English game.
How do you expect me to feed a
bunch like that at $45 per man." re-
marked Manager Burbank yesterday
as he gazed reflectiVely at half a
dozen of his proteges who stood near
by.
And truly the northern university is
represented by squad Of the husklest
men who ever invaded Los Angeles
Few of them under six feet and the
entire serum averaging 1875 pounds to
the man is the way the gamboliers
stack up. Owing to the speed and
size of the men as compared to their
opponents, many predict a one-sided
victory for Stanford. One thing alone
remains to the advantage of the Cast
aways. That is the team work of their
backs.
Have More Confidence
Daily practice has given the men
more confidence in their passing and
should the local serum prove efficient
at heeling out the ball, 1t may be that
the Cardinals will have met an oppo-
nent worthy of their Steel The Stan
ford backs have never before played
together as the team will line up this
afternoon. Coach Presler expresses
no uneasiness as to the outcome
Rugby as it should be played un-
doubtedly will be the order of the
day. Games played at Fiesta park can
net permit of the running passes which
virtually make Rugby. regulation
field at Occidental will give the famous
Stanford backs full opportunity for
displaying what three years of coach
ing will do for a varsity team. The
game will be called promptly at 8 p. m.
A broad parking assures plenty of
room for every autoist.
The Cardinals lineup will be as fol-
lows: Cheda, Horton, Doe, Minturn.

Thorp, serum Reed, half; Now Mitch

ond five-eighths; Roth, center three
quarters, COOK ana NSlH' "IHoS'
Brown, full.
AS a preliminary to the Stanford
Castaway game, the Occidental eleven
will indulge in a practice skirmish with
the Orange Athletic club The game
will begin at 1870 pa m and should
prove a romp for the, orange and
black. Under Gorton's guidance, the
bows have been doing light practice
during the past week and the entire
eleven is in the pink of condition.
Good Contest at 5ovard Field
The banner contest of good old
American football will be witnessed at
Bovard field. There will the fast st.
Vincent's eleven. the team which last
year represented the talent of the
south, and the crack nine which Crom-
well has pinned his faith to and
which will represent the University
of Southern California 1t will be an
other case of an irresistible force
meeting an immovable object.
The bright star of the Saints frma-
ment will be lacking. Ybarrando' the
speedy quarter, the man whose mead
work has time after time given the
Saints a victory when defeat was
staring them in the face, will not be
seen when the squad lines up at Bo-
ward field. e. Murrey, however who
will fill the vacancy, has Shown him
self to be a worthy successor to the
former quarter. Tortez, contrary to
expectations. will open at end but will
likely be shifted to half before the end
of the game. Following are the line
