WALLABIES SWIM
In WINGED @
TANK
Australians Banquefed and En-
ferfained With Sports at
Olympic Club
BY William Unmack

The Australian Wallabies were the
guests of the Olympic club at ban
quet and aquatic sports entertainment
last night.
Several races were held and created
intense excitement. In the 66 yard
dash Scott Leary succeeded in beating
McWood by short yard. The relay
race between teams from the Olympic
and Wallabies was the great event of
the evening. The Olympics just man
men kept the winged o boys going
every inch In the last lap the Olym-
pic man had a lead of nearly five
yards. The Wallabie made des-
perate attempt to overtake him and
was only just beaten.
President Humphries of the club in
very appropriate speech welcomed
the team to the city and hoped that
these visits between the two countries
would in very short while become
annual fixtures.
Manager Mcmahon responded to the
toast and stated that his team was
a. all times anxious to help Rugby
and all amateur sport in general.
The Wallabies play Stanford today
and good exhibition is expected. Nc
Murtrie goes in the team in place of
Fullback. Carmichael; three-quar-
ters, Russell, Hickey Ward. Prentice,
Dix; one-half, McKivatt, McCabe; for
wards, Row. McMurtrie. Richards, Ham
mond, Barnett, Macarthur, McCue,
Middleton.
The team selected last night to rep
resent all California in next Satur-
without doubt the strongest that
this state can put in the field. 1t in
cludes five Stanford men. three Cali
fornia. three Olympic, two Barbarian
ward position is still an open question
and rests between Schwartz of Cali
fornia and Miller of Stanford. To-
days game will determine the man.
Harry Elliot, captain of the Bar
barians. was the unanimous choice OF
the selectors for captain. Elliot is a
fine all around athlete and probably
the finest center three-quarter on this
coast. Canada included.
Manager Mcmahon of the Wallabies
viii referee Saturdays game and his
interpretations will be closely followed
by all authorities on the game here.
In agreeing to referee the game Nc
Mahon is doing service here and his
acting will be a big lesson to not only
local referees, but the players them
selves.
Tomorrow night a smoke concert is
to be rendered the Wallabies at the
Auditorium under the auspices of the
Rugby union. Tickets can be had at
Spalding's.

Names Cardinals Who Will
Oppose Wallabies

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. g.
The Stanford varsity team, which will
meet the crack fifteen of the Wallabies
of Australia on Stanford field tomor-
row afternoon, was announced late this
afternoon.
The game has attracted more atten-
tion here than any other contest, with
the possible exception of the big inter-
collegiate struggle between the Uni
versity of California and Stanford The
local team is the recognized champion
ship aggregation of the Pacific coast,
and when the Wallabies play the car
dinals they will practically be con-
testing for the championship of the
entire continent.
While the local men do not expect
to be able TO trim the visitors or even
hold them down to a tie, there is a
great deal of unexplained expectancy.
Stanford's serum will weigh fully as
much as the visitors, who are noted the
world round for their weight and
strength. In >the back field the WaIIa-
bies will outweigh the cardinals close
to 20 pounds to the man, but the Stan
ford outfit has some dodgers who are
said to be up to the standard of the
visitors.
Coach Presley has decided To nla,-
Terrill and Macgregor in the front
rank, preserving the old formation in
spite of that adopted by the visitors
crawford and Minturn at side rank
as rear rankers. Scott at serum half
to fill the vacancy of Erb. Miller q ,
wing forward. Mitchell and Ganonp
at five; Roth at center three e-auarters
and Holman and Cook as wings
