standing the fact that he has not been
playing for some time past. In the
games he has taken part in Otis has
shown great ability and as a halfback
his work is snappy and clean cut He
gets the ball away 70 his fiVes quickly
and neatly ard is also very smart in
getting around the serum For wing
forward there are two competitors,
though Csran seems to have mortgage
on the position. The other is Moore,
and should Graf get the position
Moore viii no doubt be found IN
the serum. Of the other men who ap-
pear TO have the best chances for the
forwards may be mentioned Moody.
Zuil, Wiley. Silent. Laine. Stack, smith.
Stahl. Stroud and Watkins stroud
seems to be the only man who can
actually be sure of his position i'm the
pack at the present time. Silents
greatest asset for a place is his great
weight
Down at stanford there is the same
superabundance of good men as at
Berkeley Mitchell seems TO have the
fullbaek position all 10 himself The
cardinal team has more experienced
Rugbyites than has Berkeley. and this
might in measure account for the fact
that the PaIO Alto team has not lost a
game. Duryea is a man who has shown
up to good advantage an through tne
season. WOrswick. the san Jose hign
boy, is another who looks like a sure
one for the team. Arrell is the surprise
packet of the freshmen, and he is aD-
solutely certain of making the babies
and stands splendid chance or also
gaining his big this year.
Kern has also made good and will no
doubt be seen in the final lineup. Baum
gartner is another man who has put
his knowledge Of Rugby to good use
He is a splendid forward and probably
one of the best at either of the two
colleges. Ellis and Case are also to he
considered by the coaches when select
ing the team, their work all through
being of high class
The Nevada team has caused cOnsid-
erable surprise here, and through the
am able TO give some interesting COM
mentS on the men and the team In
general. In the team there are about
dozen or last year veterans, and
with the recruits. a really strong team
has been turned out Captain Bennett
has been out or the game temporary
owing to a slight accident which he
me- in a practice game week or two
ago. Ellsworth Bennett is showing
dribbling and head work at critical
moments are feature of his play

OF the finest three-quarters on the
coast. They are both fast men and
very adept at both delivering and tax
ing ~asses. As kicks they have no
equals in the Reno team and both men
nnd touch we'll at an times. Kennedy,
who il will be remembered played such
dashing game at half tor Nevada here
last year. is again 9sck in college and
played his first game yesterday against
ST. Mary's. Leney and Folsom are
also members Of last years team and
their combined work in their position
is one of the features Of the Nevada
play.
CurnOw, at wing three quarters. is
a new recruit and has shown great
aptitude and ability at the game.
Fletcher at fullback is a tackler OF
great strength. and is gOOd on finding
touch. Leavitt is a Scrumer OF whom
the sagebrushers are proud. and look
20 him TO be picked out in the games
here as one of the best forwards on
the coast. Sears, Anderson, Hardy and
Miller are also old men who have
shown UP we'll andein the serum these
men are considered to form as strong
if not a stronger formation than any
of the teams that viii visit Reno.
A new man who has caught the eye Of
Reno critics is a six fOOter with enOr-
nous strength named Settlemeyer.
Mackay and Harris are~twO new COM
ers who are also making good Mackay
halls from Australia and had consider
able experience there as q Rugby
player. \ second team has been put in
action at the Nevada institution and
the men on il are Of almost as good
caliber as the first team.
