URGE EXTENSIONS OF
STREET RAILWAY LINES
Improvement Club Representa-
tiyes Favor Sale of Franchise

Resolutions were adopted yesterday
by the Joint executive committee on
street railroad extensions. composed of
delegates from several district improve-
ment clubs, pledging the efforts of
these clubs to the bringing about of
needed street railway extensions on a
comprehensive plan. The object of the
committee is to secure the construction
of new lines into outlying districts and
the extension of existing lines into
populous sections. The basis of the COM
mittee's plan for betterment of street.
car service hinges upon the adoption of
the franchise asking for a Devisadero
street crosstown line.
The subjects of municipal ownership
and betterment of service on existing
lines do not figure in the resolutions
adopted. The object of the committee is
to have franchises offered for sale, so
that any private corporation may be
entitled to bid. Four franchises have
already been drawn up by the commit
tee and passed upon by the lawyers of
the San Francisco railways company
the corporation organized by the United
Railroads for the purchase of the Park
side line. This company has signffied
its intention of bidding for such fran
chises If they are offered for sale.
Resolutions similar to those men,
toned have also been adopted by the
Eureka Valley Improvement association
urging the immediate granting of fran
chises for street railway extensions to
outlying districts. with the suggestion
that efforts be made to induce private
capital to undertake the building of
such lines

BERKELEY HIGH
TO MEET VALLEJO
Two Fast Teams Will Play Old
Time Football Game at
Park Stadium
Up Country Lads Have Never
Met Their Match and Ri
vaIry Will Be Exciting

Two of the fastest American football
teams in the state will meet at the
stadium this afternoon, when the
Berkeley high school lads line up
against the winged VS. from Vallejo.
Although Berkeley at first arranged
high. that school has again refused, to
meet Berkeley. pleading the interfer-
ence Of the Amateur Athletic
league schedule, as did the Lick
team. AS the winged, VS. have
been victorious in all their games this
season and have already demonstrated
their superiority over the Alameda
high school team, the fast Berkeley
eleven readily accepted the offer of
the winged VS. to keep the date left
open by Alameda. and the lovers of
the American game will be treated to
one of the fastest games that has been
played in the bay region this season.
The aggregation from Berkeley is
now in excellent form and has many
open field plays that are new, being
the result of privileges and changes in
the rules that have been made this
year. Berkeley high has been going
through hard practice daily under the
direction of Coach MacAndrews. for
mer well known Dartmouth star.
SO far this season Berkeley has Deen
undefeated, piling UP large scores
against all of the teams that it has
played
The new plays that. have been de-
veloped out of the changes in the
rules will prove a revelation. Open
formations, where the arran cement of
the team stretches its members nearly
across the field. will not only prove
good ground gamers. but Will give the
bleachers q chance to see every detail
of the game and will tend to lessen the
dangerous element of the play. as was
the intention of the authorities who
made these changes.
Todays game will take place at the
stadium and the whistle will be blown
promptly at 2:30 o'clock. The two
aggregations are very evenly matched
and Berkeley will have one of the
hardest fights Of the season if it sue
ceeds in shutting out the fast clubmen
from Vallejo.
Berkeley high will be captained by
Brevard Sinclair, who is playing a
strong game at right tackle. Former
Captain 1ncell. with Wiley, Hunt and
Austin, viii handle the ball back of
the line, and from the showing these
men have pade some fast work will
be seen.
The game is being held under the
auspices of the Portola committee, who
decided TO hold the contest in the sta
dium, that the public might be granted
an opportunity TO witness fast game
