California viii Be Represented
by a Strong Team i'm the
Coming Tournament

A national shooting organization,
which will embrace pistol and revolver
clubs in every part of the United
States. has been formed by the United
States revolver association. California
will be represented by either the Shell
Mound pistol and rifle club or the
Golden Gate rife and pistol club and
probably also by team from Los An
geles.
This is one of the biggest movements
in the interest of shooting ever initi
ated in this country, as it is expected
that teams from every large city in
the United States will enter. st. Louis,
New York Chicago and Philadelphia
have already entered teams and the
middle west states are also repre-
sented. Spokane will represent the
northwest, with the prospect of Seattle
also entering a team. The conditions
call for indoor shooting, with arti-
fetal lights, five men to a team and
five substitutes allowed. The various
cities will shoot against each other
the scores being exchanged by tele
graph and the results issued from the
headquarters of the United States re-
volver association in New York.
Official scorers have been. appointed
to act in the various parts of the coun-
try, William A. Siebe of the Shell
Mound club having been elected the
western representative. The matches
will be tabulated and a percentage
kept in much the same manner as a
baseball league is conducted. The
winning team will be presented with a

the most consistent scores. The first
match will take place December 2.

able.
from the clubs, but in the interests of
the game and also to make the best
showing for the state, only one team
will be selected. The reason for this
is that such men as German, Arm
strong and others belong to both clubs
and would have difficulty in deciding
which one to join. The Golden Gate

men who belong to both would prefer
to shoot with the former organization.

Mound lads will be among the COM

At the monthly shoot of the Possible

Thursday, Henry A. Harris came
within one point of equaling the
worlds record. Harris rolled up a to-
tai of AGA in 90 shots with the revolver
On account of having won all the
available percentage trophies of the
United States revolver association the
Oakland man will not receive any
prize for his phenomenal work.
The Golden West revolver club and
the Nationals will hold their regular
monthly medal shoots at the Emery
Vile pleasure resort today. The
usual prize turkey shoot, which marks
the closing of the picnic season, will
be the leading feature of the day, and

SANTA CLARANS TO MEET
STRONG RIVALS AT RUGBY
By WILLIAM UNMACK

be a cool man, but his GOODNESS is too
overplayed, and against the Reliance
team the forwards got him before he
got the ball away. His other fault is
waiting for the ball to bounce before
he takes it. Detels is in the fight for
the position. He is a good punter and
generally uses his lines to good ad-
vantage.
Gallagher and Kelly are also fight
ing for the halfback position Both
are good, men and Coach Mckenzie will
have a hard job to separate them. The
Santa Clarans are going to play seven
men in the pack with wing forward,
and for hookers Degnan and Hogan
are practically conceded their POSI-
tions. They are said to be two of the
best hookers in the Santa Clara DIS
trict
wards that look as if they have made
their places on the team. McHenry has
been in the hospital. He is one OF the
best defensive players on the team, but
his illness will probably keep him out
of the game. Taddick will probably be
seen as wing forward. Reams is man
who has a great reputation at Santa
Clara and will be seen on either the
five or three quarter line. Barnard is
making a strong bid for a position and
his playing has caused considerable
surprise Porterfield is a great player
and may prove a sensation on Thurs
day. Barbour will probably be on one
of the three quarter wings. The for
wards have a good, hard worker in
Tramutolo. (Of the St Mary's men

the backs. and Hughes, Bell and Sheehy
and Bonetti appear to be the only GER

others who are virtually conceded
places. Simpson has been playing the
game but two weeks. He gives much
promise and Coach Howe has him in
hand and is training him personally.
with the idea of playing him on one of
the three-quarter wings. Donnelly and
Riordan are working for the three
quarter line. Both are fast and partic-
ularly good on the defense. Lenhardt
is trying ont for the fullback position,
quarter line Lenhardt is the only logical
man for the defender of the goal
line. Pantosky and Delahide should
make the forward division. Smith and
Greedy are two more useful men in the
serum.
The visit of a combined oxford and
Cambridge university Rugby team here
next year is the next Rugby visit that
is promised us. The cost of the trip of
$4,000. There could be at least eight
games arranged locally with the pro-
posed team, and to make the venture
pay games would have to be arranged
with Los Angeles, Reno and a series
of at least three in Vancouver. This
extend over seven weeks. From these
games. provided practically all the gate
receipts were given, the visitors ex-
penses would just about be covered.

have seen the Santa Clara and the
St Mary's teams in action. The team
from the Oakland institution strikes
me as being more businesslike and
aggressive than the rival fifteen from
the prune district, and it has a greater
knowledge of most of the finer points
of the game. Everything considered
at the present writing it looks like an
easy win for the st. Mary'S team. How
ever, ! do not make this a prediction
at this time. During the week | will
look into the merits of the two teams
and make a prediction as to the win
ner. The valley college players seem to
have a manner of holding the ball
after being tackled instead of letting
il go, which will undoubtedly prove a
not discontinue this fault.
One thing L like about the Santa
Clarans is the way they pack their
serum. There were times. however.
when it looked to me as if the front
rankers We're trying to shirk their
work and by some means continually
opponents back. Another fault with
the serum was the front men forming
sometimes three yards ahead of the
place the referee desi ignated as the
spot for the serum. This only wastes
time and brings no results.
Santa Clara's front row men are also
fairly good hookers. l think they will
need considerable practice to offset the
advantage that 1 have noticed the St.
Marys have in this respect. The st.
Marys team has some excellent ma
terial both in the backs and the for
wards The St Mary's forwards must
be considerably heavier than their op-
ponents probably about seven pounds
per man. This advantage of weight,
together with an advantage in hook
Oakland boys. The Santa Clara team
has time enough yet to improve it's
serum work.
This is the first year since 1898 that
these two Catholic colleges have met
on the football field, and naturally
enough both are making extraordinary
efforts to bring home a victory to their
alma mater. The teams are very keen
for the conflict and both are playing
better Rugby this year than in any
games both teams have practically
played the same opponents.
Santa Clara has number of cripples
Roberts. who is probably one of the
best forwards, was out of the game for
week, but resumed practice on Fri
day; The giant forward, Barry, is a
doubtful player. Gallagher and Por
terville, two of the best backs, have
been seriously indisposed. The last
two men will be able to take their
places on Thursday, though their con-
dition has caused a lot of anxiety
