COLLEGE OARSMEN
DISCUSS COURSE
FOR REGATTA
Stanford Men Oppose Plan 10
Hold Big Meet in Oak
land Greek

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Feb. IA
The much mooted question OF where
the intercollegiate regatta between the
crews Of the University of California
and Stanford shall be held is again 10
the fore. Many favor the course at
Richardson's bay. over which the
crews have raced for the last two
years. while others incline to the Oak
land estuary. This question was taken
up for consideration at the last meet
ing OF the executive committee of the
associated students of Stanford.
Several years ago the two univer-
stiles clashed over this same question.
While nothing of this order is expect
ed to arise this year. the course will
probably be the subject Of much dis
cussion. The Stanford contingent has
always held against the Oakland
course because OF its familiarity to
the Berkeley crew. 1t has been argued
that the California men would have an
opportunity to study the currents and
eddies to advantage and would in ad-
dit1On become acquainted with the
rough water Of the creek.
The SausalftO course In the past has
been favored by the cardinals, but now
1t appears that the local men are
ready TO consider the Oakland estuary
as the disadvantages OF SausalitO from
a financial standpoint seem to OvertOp
those of Oakland

that of the varsity team. A date has
been arranged with the track men OF

dual clash on the local oval during the
coming month. Negotiations have also
been opened with the team OF the Oak
land high school and the manager OF
the University OF the Pacific, located
at San Jose.

LONG FOR SUN

Weather Permitting" Today,
Singles Tournament viii
Be Completed
By Grant Smith

Owing to the wet weather the tennis
courts have had deserted appearance
during the last few weeks. but it is safe
to predict that they will be crowded to
their capacity when fair weather sets
in.
The handicap singles tournament
which was commenced at the park about
two months ago will be completed to-
day If the weather permits The cup
was won last year by Maurice Nc
Loughlin, and he will probably carry 1t
off for the second and last time today.
The handicap singles tournament
scheduled for last Sunday at the Cali
vile Long, Maurice Mclaughlin and
Carl Gardner will not enter the cup

1t has been so long since tournament
was held on the club courts that large
entry list will surely be attracted
The first big tournament of the year
will be held at Coronado February i q.
Mclaughlin, Long and Gardner. the
cream of the championship division
will be in the competition, and Thomas
Bundy, who has twice won the hand
some trophy which is emblemattc OF
the Coronado Country club champion
ship, will probably find 1t difficult
matter to score the third and final win.
Los Angeles and surrounding towns
will send strong bunch OF players 70
Coronado and the event this year
should easily eclipse those held in the
past. Louis Freeman, Alfonso Bell and
Harold Brady, all ex-champions OF
southern California, and the first men
toned pair eX-coast champions, have
entered and the singles event should
prove second only to the coast cham
pionship tournament.
The three ex-champions have all seen
their best day. but they are still for
midable enough to be given constdera-
ton in forecasting winner. While
the southern part Of the state will
send many entries. IT is expected the
tournament will be won by either Long
or Mclaughlin of this city. These two
players proved conclusively In the coast
championship tournament last year
that they are the superiors OF the
southern contingent
The local players will be at a decided
disadyantage in that they have hao
two Mclaughlin is a player who re-
tains his form without practice, but
the same can not be said OF Long. The
coast champion takes long time tC
get into form, and for this reason q
majority of the local enthusiasts are
of the opinion that Mclaughlin will
be the main reliance.
The first tournament was won by
Grant Smith of this city. and the sec

The latter successfully defended last
year anu Will play the winner OF Iuk
