In California when football enthu-
siast wishes to get a line on the ability
of two respective teams he resorts TO
a comparison of the scores made by
the teams In question, and then ar
rives at his own conclusions from the
deductions he makes. This way OF
reckoning works we'll in most cases
with the intercollegiate game. but with
Rugby no definite basis can be formed
Still the great majority OF the pubic
follows this procedure. so that dls-
cusSion of the freshmen teams al bOth
Berkeley and Stanford Will be appro-
pirate along these lines
Up to LAST Wednesday the Two fresh
men teams had played practically the
same teams. California played both
the Barbs and Olympics. which teams
the Stanford babies did not meet
Leaving these teams out OF the argu-
ment, we have to compare games with
Lowell, San Jose and Palo Alto high
leges, that each varsity freshmen team
has met.
The only game in which the blue and
gold shows superior to the Stanford
men is the game against the Lowell
high. In that game California simply
wiped the floor with the Lowell boys
to the tune of 40 TO 0. Playing against
the same team the Stanford babies
could only just manage to win by two
points, the final score being Is to IL.
As California made such an easy walk
Stanford make the same easy wins with
most of the other teams that their
rivals did not score heavily against
Stanford has not lost game and the
worst argument ii got was with the
Palo Alto high team when neither side
scored. In their next meeting. how
ever, Stanford trounced the Palo Al
toans to the extent of II to 0.
California played only one game
against the Palo1 Alto team and lost
by 5 points to 3 In justice to the
be said that this game can not in any
manner of means be taken as a cri-
teron ter Of their 6t abilty The game
In the games with San Jose high,
Stanford again exhibited big amount
of class. California won this game by
a score of 10 to o. Stanford played
skittles with San Jose to the extent Of
% to O.
Against Santa Clara college the Stan
ford babies won both games played.
The first game was won by a small
margin Of 5 points to nothing, but in
the second game Stanford showed real
class and romped home a winner by
% points to nothing Both universities
have played two games against the St.
MaryS college team. Stanford won
both with scores of % to nothing and 8
to nothing. On the other hand, the blue
and gold team has lost one game to
the same team to the extent OF Is
points and was unable to cross it's Op-
ponent's line at all in this game. The
first game played by the blue and gold
against the st. Mary'S resulted in
win for the California freshmen by IS
points to 3.~Therefore, judging by these
games against St. Mary's, the cardinal
team again showed up TO much better
advantage than the blue and gold.
The lack of practice for the last 10
days at California has made the men all
the more eager to do full justice to the
work they will get in the remaining
week In regard to points scored fer

"M0THER" HOWE MAY SELECT
TEAM TO co TO AUSTRALIA
By WILLIAM UNMACK

It is not generally known that
Mother" Howe has another mission to
perform here besides that OF coaching
the California varsity football squads.
From private information received by
the writer the New South Wales Rugby
union has instructed Howe TO report on
the sdvissbility of inviting an all
America Rugby football team to visit
Australia next year. II depends on his
report whether the team IS invited or
not. AS the Australian season opens
about the first of MAY and finishes
about the first of September 1t will
enable men from both universities who
may be selected on the all star team
TO make the trip, the team will leave
here about the beginning of May, play
in Australia all June and return to Cali
foTnfa at the end Of July.
Howe has visited Los Angeles and
seen the teams here in action and at
the end OF this month will have an op-
portunity of witnessing the perform
snce Of the crack team from Vancouver.
He has seen all the local clubs play
The San Francisco call., 1909-10-10

and before the season finishes here
viii have seen all the colleges and
universities in action Howe's position
as selector for the New South Wales
Rugby union and his experience will
enable him soon to pick out the weak
spots of our Rugby and none can saw
better whether our combined team will
have possible chance with Queens
land and New South Wales.
The tour would include at least IL
games and from the writer's own per
sonal knowledge of Rugby in Australia
America would have very little diff
games to be played. There would pos
s1bly be three matches against com
bined New South Wales, three against
combined Queensland, as well as games
against the universities and combined
country teams. The latter are very
strong in Australia and produced such
men as McKivatt Woods, McMurtrie
and all of the Wallabies
If team is to go Howe will remain
in America and coach the team that
will make the trip.

demurrer to the indictments on the
ground that the Hart-Agnew law is
