closer the outlook for botn lue
coIser the outlook for both the
4A Rugby and American games APP
pears to be much brighter than lHat VI
any previous year. Already PldCtiSo
bas bee11n. schedules have been ar
,.or7oe6 ,.s'1 and +be majority of the coaches
oau even now tell the probable llueup
of their SQUADS Owing to the 1act tlat
4be outlook for the American game
with many of the colleges is exception
al1y bright. and as many new players
will be seen in the field, every coayii
believes his eleven will surely WIN @ lue
championship. This is especially true
of the University of Southern Cautor-
MAS law school, the st. NlncelIs
eleven and the squad which will play
beneath the orange and black OF CGcI-
dental Sorenson Of the law SchOol pe-
lieves that his lineup will be strohseI
than that of any other local eleven anu
the majority of fans are inclined TO
s11Dport the coach in his opinions. Al
though many do not believe that the
ST Vincents players will be able TO
nrasent the strong lineup which squat
fed behind the pigskin during last sea-
sons play. Rheinschild is working hard
and saying little. 1t is known now
ever, that there will be number OF
new stars in the line, and desp!te lile
fact that no outside players Will De
imported, a fast eleven will undoubted-
" uphold the honor of st. Nlncents
college upon the gridiron.
oxy Eleven Looks Good
Prominent among the squads who
will get into the game this fall with
vengeance and which will play under
the capable coaching of that general
Maecenas of football tactics, Frank ii.
Gorton, will be the Occidental eleven
and a better showing than that made
last year is confidently looked forward
to. with our present material ana
the large number of fast and heavy
men who will join the college this fall
there is no reason to believe that OXy
will not, to say the least, give the Win
ners of the Southern California foot
ball championship a close rub for the
honors," said Gorton yesterday in
speaking of the prospects of the team.
Occidental is perhaps more fortunate
than the majority of colleges of Cali
fornia del Sur which will play the
American game, in that this institution
has retained a large number of the
best players whose brilliant work won
for them their letters during last sea-
sons contests. Prominent among these
are Arthur Collins, captain of this
years squad, and one of the best half
backs in this section of the country,
and Fred Thompson, who will try out
for fullback or end, and is not only
considered as being one of the best
men who ever booted the oval, but is
an all around first class athlete. In
addition to these boys Ink Weiman,
last years captain, and a fast end,
Jim Smart, crackerjack guard, and
r. Hopkins, who covered end during
the memorable scrimmages of 1903, will
more than likely be seen in this years
lineup. Harold Landreth, tackle, and
II. Patterson will doubtless wear the
Oxy colors. Patterson, while making
a first class showing last season, is
in much better condition this year, is
faster heavier and stronger and may
develop into a phenomenal player.
New Players for oxy
In the tryouts which will soon be
held Kenney Gordon, Henry Scoonover,
Raymond Hunt and Lysle McKenney,
all of whom attended the college dur
ing the last season without winning
their Co." will make every effort to
gain a position on this seasons squad,
and at least two Of these boys should
make good.
Another quartet of new players, all
of whom may make the varsity, is
composed of Alfred Robertson, George
Baer, Bradbeer and Weiman. All Of
these boys show every indication of
developing into star players, and the
majority will try out for the line.
Much confidence is placed in the pros
poets of Baer, and Gorton confidently
predicts that before the last game of
the coming season has been called this
player will have earned his letter a
dozen times over. Waugenheimer will
be another candidate for the back field
and is considered as being an excep-
tionally speedy acquisition
HolIister an Acquisition
But the man in whom more conf
dence may be felt before the eleven
has lined up for the last time and
the last goal has been kicked is "Chet"
Hollister, than whom there has been no
faster man on the squad of the Santa
Barbara high school and whom GOrton
feels confident will develop a tower of
