SORENSON TO PLAY
HALF FOR LAWYERS
Other Star Players VIII Be Seen on
the Law Schools Line for the
Game with Saint
Vincents

For the big game of the season, the
Thanksgiving day contest with saint
Vincents, the Y. s. c. law school prom
ises to have a squad in the field which
will make the Saints work for every
point earned. Many believe that the
Barristers stand an excellent chance
of defeating the Grand avenue eleven.
Not only will Coach Sorensoh put his
men through rigorous course of train
ing, but it is more than likely that he
will play one of the backs for his
team II am going in to take my
chances with the rest of the men and
shall leave 1t to them whether for not
I make good" said the coach in
speaking of his ability.
The Barristers' coach will be eligible
to play as he Is now a senior at the
university. Perhaps Sorenson does not
look like a football star on the coach
ing line, but If the word of the rest of
the players counts for anything, his 16O
pounds of avoirdupois is as solid as
that of any athlete. Sorenson was at
one time chosen as end of an all west
ern eleven.
Not only is 1t probable that Sorenson
will play with the law school, but sew
eral crack players who failed to re-
Iort the first of the year have signi-
fed their intentions of joining the in
stitution. Their names are being
withheld for the present. but 1t is like
ly- that the real article soon will be
seen in action. ru
Wednesday has been declared labor
day at the law school and all able-bod-
led mebers will turn out to repair the
athletic grounds at Third and Wilmer
streets.
Manager Richardson has secured a
practice game with the heavy Redondo
eleven for Saturday, November 10 at
Fiesta park. The members OF the squad
will practice regularly from now on.

SALTON SINK CASE is IN
HANDS OF SUPREME COURT
Proceedings Between New Liverpool
and California Development Com.
panies May Be Reviewed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-If the SUI
preme court of the United States
grants O writ asked today by the Cali
fornla Development company in the
case of that company against the New
Liverpool Salt company 1t will review
the entire proceedings between these
corporations.
The suit involves a controversy over
the question of responsibility for the
overflow of the Colorado river into the
Salton sink in 1906 by which the salt
mines OF the Liverpool company were
badly damaged. 1t was claimed by the
salt company that the overflow was
due to carelessness in the construction
of the head gates of the irrigation
bitches, and the United States circuit
court for the Southern California dis
trict held such TO be the case, giving a
verdict of $685. 765 damages.
The development company declares
the food was so great that there would
have been an overflow regardless of Its
bitches.

was caused mostly by the abuse the
car received due to the inexperience
of the operator.
With the 1908 model * 30-horse-
power, there has been no mechanical
trouble whatever. Neither car has ex-
perienced any tire trouble to speak
of, nor has ever been tied UP on the
road.
The hospital authorities claim he

factory for hospital use than { aer
makes on account of the easy riainz
qualities possessed and the lack of
noise and vibration. Either car will do
the work of three two-horse drawn
vehicles Such minor repairs as have
been necessary are made by the chauf-
feurs, and even in the case of over
hauling when the heavy machinery
was taken out and repaired, the car
was taken to a shop and the work
done there by the operators.
The first cost of the two cars was
s770O. These two cars displace six
pairs of horses, which at the present
average cost of $500 per pair, would
amount to $4,000. The cost of six am
balances would be about $1,000. This
gives a total. for the horse-drawn We
hicles displaced by the ambulances, of
$500. That figure, however, cannot
be compared to the cost of the motor
cars, as the motor cars WoIh pOtia
night and day. while the six pairs or
horses would not give a continuous
hospital service of even a day. To
make a fair comparison Of cost, one
must estimate on at least twelve pairs
of horses. which, computed on the
same scale, will swell the total to
$500. Then, again, although the
wages of the former drivers were the
same as those of the ohauffeurs, 1t
took twelve drivers for the horse
drawn ambulances, while for the pres
emit motor vehicles only four operators
are required. oo
These cars make as high as 12O
miles apiece on some days, and aver
age about eighty miles per day, which,
together with the other advantages
they have over horse-drawn ambu-
Iances. give such satisfaction that the
hospital authorities say. that were it
possible. at this time, they would do
away with the horse-drawn ambu-
Iances altogether.
