STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 10.
Nearly a whole section of the bleachers
was filled this afternoon at the last
practice scrimmage of the cardinal fif-
teen. Cheering. yelling and singing
was at its best. every man watching
with the keenest interest the final
workout of the team. There were but
a few short moments of fast struggle
between the blacks and the grays.
The blacks were fighting their ut
most in the hope that at the last min
ute Coach Presley might consider one
or two of them fit for the varsity pack
Standish Mitchell, five-eighths A. Z.
Roth, center three quarters, and Brown
Tull, stood on the sidelines in suits
throughout the practice. Presley has not
considered ii safe TO risk their playing
before the final struggle, though they
have recovered from the. effects of the
injuries received during the season.
There is not much argument as to
who shall make the final team, though
there was q strong competition between
the two freshmen, Kern and Wors-
Wick this afternoon to decide which
would have chance at making the
Dig block s. in case of a substitution
for some of the injured men. Wors-
Kern fought with the blacks. There
was small chance to make decision
on the basis of their work, as both
The campus is alive with argument
as to the prospects, the general opinion
being that Stanford has just a shade of
the advantage over California. 1t is
also the general sentiment that Stan
ford will have a still better chance IL
there is rain. although it has been said
that the turf was easy meat for the
Berkeley aggregation BECAUSE their
practice has been held for the most
part on a dirt field which was decidedly
sloppy in wet weather. Many of the
Rugby fiends have predicted victory
for Stanford with a score of 17-S,
California making two trys in the first
half and Stanford one. There is no
doubt that the cardinals will show
phenomenal burst of fight in the Sec
ond half, with their powerful serum
and fast back field.
The Vancouver men expressed the
opinion that Stanford's back field was
the strongest point, California having
superior forwards. The case seems
quite the contrary TO every one who
has witnessed the playing of both
teams and there is q verdict given by
some that Stanford will win the con-
test through the work of the forwards.
Although the picking of the team is
foregone conclusion. great satisfaction
will exist when the personnel of the
cardinal pack Is announced by Presley
tomorrow afternoon.
Stanford's final rally will take place
tomorrow night, when the entire uni
versity will give the cardinal fifteen the

DENVER Nov 10=Probably be-

in this city and suburbs and in Salt
Lake yesterday as the result of what
is believed to have been a cleverly
executed job of wire tapping near the
Latonia race track and in which the
odds on Howard Pearson, the winner
Of the sixth race at that track, were
boosted from to / to 20 and even as
high as 40 to T.
Handbook makers here and at the
suburbs OF Englewood and Littleton
heavily on the race and many Of the
local book makers today are refusing
to pay bets on the race.
According to one local book maker,
the odds apparently were changed be-
fore post time, and the boost" from
to 1 to 20 to l does not seem to
have caused suspicion. If the wire
was tapped the post odds were held
back and the false odds sent. Then
the plunge was made, and as the tip
on the horse apparently was general
nearly every book maker around Denver
lost.
1t is also stated that the operations
extended to Chicago.
