BERKELEY DEFEATS
NEVADA UNIVERSITY
U. of C. Rugby Team Has Easy Time
with Formidable Fifteen--Vis-
iting Team Protests the
Final Try

BERKELEY, Nov. 6.-The University
Of California defeated the University Of
Nevada today in one of the most ex-
citing Rugby football games played on
California field this season by score
of "a to 8.
A protest on the part of Nevada may
lead to the changing of this score TO
10 to s, rs Nevada, under misconcep-
ton Of the rules, ceased playing when
the pistol was fired and permitted Cali
fornia to make the final try without
opposition. According to the protest
Nevada has been playing under the
rule which declares the BAH dead when
the pistol ends the game, but California
has been observing the regulation which
allows a score to be made after the
shot is fired if the ball is in movement
at the time.
The first score was made by Califor
mia after a long passing rush, and this
was followed by try, made by Nevada
after the ball had been dribbled almost
the entire length OF the field. Califor-
MIA scored again shortly afterward, but
the remainder of the half was fought
in California territory. Nevada rushed
the California players off their feet al
the beginning of the second half and
the local colegians were so badly out
played for a time that it looked as if
the visitors would win, but California
inaugurated several passing rushes
near the end of the game that turned
the tide Of victory in their favor.

OKLAHOMA AFTER FIGHT

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Tom Sharkey
has received from Joe Miller of Ponce,
Okla, a telegram declaring that Cow

osition to hold the Jeffries-Johnson
fight in that state for any number of
rounds. Miller submitted a bid-of $685.,
900 for the fight some time ago, but
it was not considered seriously because
of the belief that the contest could
not be held in that state. The mes
sage from Miller, which also includes
the information that he will be here
next week to post a forfeit, has
changed the general opinion, and Okla
homa may be an active bidder. JEFF

deep sea fishing, has assured Sheriff
Foley, who is an old friend of his, that
he will knock out. Johnson inside of ten

PRESIDENT OF AERO CLUB
OFFERS CUP FOR CONTEST

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Cortlandt
Field Bishop has informed the Aero
club of America, of which he is presi-
dent, that he will offer a cup for a
balloon race in which all affiliated
clubs will be privileged to enter one
representative. The race, which will
be held in the fall of 1910, will be for
balloons of only about 600 cubic me-
ter capacity, as he believes it would
be impossible to obtain sufficient gas
for the balloons of three and four
times that size.
AS some doubt exists as to the cor
rectness of the official report of the
contest for the Lahm cup, in which
the trophy was awarded to A. Hol-
land Forbes, Mr.. Bishop has recon-
mended revisal. The tie rests be-
tween Mr.. Forbes and A. b. Lambert

Some of the new players who have not
rolled in league games are afraid of
going over the foul line, but have been
practicing all week, and by next series
all should be able to stay back of the
line and score a higher total.
AS was predicted at the first meeting
of this league, many of the old-timers
are waking up and want to get in, but
1t Is too late now, and they will have
to wait for the next tournament. which

Neither team was able to make
ground and fumbles were numerous
Throop line outplayed the local line,
which leaked badly. letting the men
through to stop up fully half of the
plays. The Sage Brushers' forward
pass worked better than anything
else, and Hentschke made several good
line bucks.
The only score was made soon after
the game began, when Throop kicked
a field goal from the 35-yard line.
Neither side was ever in any danger
Of making a touchdown, and the ball
was nj the locals territory most of
the time
Hentschke put up a good game at
full, while Kinsey was good in spots,
stopping several plays before they got
started.
The Pasadena team was much faster
than the Claremonters, and outplayed
almost continuously Nuels, who took
Valie's place at quarter, put up good
game for the first game that he had
ever played. on the whole, the back
field of the visitors was fast and
heady, while Macdonald at quarter
handled the team well.

sioners
Following the lively hearing in the
boardroom of the District building yes
terday the Commissioners decided to re.
ject the two bids which were made under
the previous advertisement. The bid OF
the Tolman laundry, which the board OF
awards recommended should get the con-
tract and which was S4,31325. was re-
garded by the Commissioners as being toe
high: the proposal Of the Empire laun-
dry. which was $1,S43.75 lower. was re-
jected on the ground that work done by
that company under contracts two for
mer years was unsatisfactory.
When the new bids are received, 1t was
also announced this morning any bid put
in by the Empire laundry will not re-
ceiye consideration.
In an endeavor to save the District
money on its laundry work an investiga-
ton will be made to determine whether
or not some of the work can be done in
the laundry of the Washington Asylum
Hospital. This plant is owned by the
District and is largely operated by pris-

hope to get the laundry work done at
less cost than under the bid put In by the
