MACkAY TO Bring
NEVADA team HERE
M iIIiOuaire Invites Whole Stu.
dent Body to Attend Game
With Barbarians

Arrangements were completed yes
terday for the Nevada university and
the Barbarian club to play second
Rugby game this season in this city
on October 2s. This is the direct result
Of the wish of Clarence Mackay, ex-
pressed at last years game, that the
two teams could meet in San Francisco
as well as in Reno. Yesterday Graju
ate Manager Kennedy of Nevada uni
versity received a telegram from
Mackay asking him to make all ar
rangements for the game to be played
in San Francisco between October %
and October 20, and stating that he
desired that every student at the uni
versity become his guest at the game.
Kennedy at once got into communica-
tion with Commissioner Phillips Of the
Barbarians and the wires were kept
busy all day yesterday between this
city, Reno and New York, with the
result that October 20 was decided on
for the game. Mackay has been an
invalid for some time past and the
arrangements for the match have been
nsequently delayed.
October 29 was an open date for the
Barbarians and 1t did not take long
Pacific Office in Reno also received word
from Mackay yesterday to make all
necessary arrangements for one or
more special trains to leave Reno on
the night of October 2S, full details
for which would be supplied to the
railroad by Graduate Manager Ken
nedy of the Nevada university. Mackay
will arrive in Reno October 27 and his
private car will be joined to the special.
r. ha RI a ~ wi y,la Nevada
team their first game next Saturday
in Reno, and the win of the Sage
brushers last week against the st.
Mary's team has put considerable conf
dence into the whole team.
Leavitt and Bennett in the forwards
and Fletcher in the back field of the
Nevada university team are the equal
of any men playing the same positions
on the local university teams.
The Nevada university and the Olym-
pics of this city will not meet this
year. No definite arrangements have
been made for the game, up to the pres
ent and, as October % was the only
date the Olympics could give the
Navadans, the latter have now called
the game off for that date, owing to
the match with the Barbarians in this
city.
The Rugby game is gradually work
ing into eastern states. The University
of Utah is particularly interested In
the game and the Nevada university
has been doing good missionary work
in talking the game up to the Nor
mons. Coach Mayors of Nevada was
recently the guest of the Utah univer-
sity and delivered an able lecture on
the game to the Utah students. It is
within the range of possibility that
Utah will adopt Rugby next year.

LAUNCH FLOLLIE
Wins MOTOR CUP
San Francisco Yacht Clubs
Challenger Wresfs Trophy
From Sacramento

The launch Flollie, owned and built
by /. H. Cory, the San Francisco yacht
clubs challenger for the Robbins per-
petual challenge cup. carried off the
honors yesterday afternoon in the most
closely contested motor boat race ever
seen on local waters. Starting out with
a handicap of 81 minutes 4S seconds
the Sausalito boat was never headed
defeating the cup defender Jess Of
the Sacramento boat club by only a
boats length. Starter Phil Fay got all
the boats off In good time The Jess
creeping UP on the F1ollie, gained 8
minutes at Southampton light and, as
the two boats bucked into the heavy
swells around Alcatraz. the Sacramento
boat had 4 u more minutes to its credit
and running on the last leg it looked
very much as If the smaller boat would
be overtaken. Inch by inch its larger
opponent seemed to gain and for a
time II seemed certain that the cup
would remain in Sacramento Each
captain crowded on full speed as the
finish line was neared, and amidst the
whistling of the large fleet of launches
the local boat won out with 3-5 sec
onds to spare.
The big cruiser Aquatic of the VAL
lejo club, which started from scratch
did its best to overcome the % minutes
handicap allowed the Flollie, but was
not equal to the occasion. John Hax's
Liberty of the Pacific motor boat club
came in a good fourth.
The race for cruisers over 25 feet
was another very close contest Pete
Swanson's Eulalie of the Pacific motor
boat club carrying off the cup in a
close finish from s. /. Plants Wan
derer. These boats covered a short
course Of Az miles.
The semispeed boat contest between
the Glory of the Pacific motor boat
club and the Bridge of the San Fran
cisco yacht club was won by the former
with SO seconds to spare.
There were five contestants in the
small boat class, the Idler with 4 min
utes 90 seconds handicap carrying off
first prize in good style.
One of the features of the day was
the 115 mile endurance run from Sac
ramento TO Sausalito, in which Hugh
Mullins speedy little Amethyst covered
the distance in hours and 6 minutes,
thereby establishing record between
the two places. The contest was for
the auto boat special cup offered by
a number OF prominent Sacramento en-
thusiasts. The launches Elizabeth and

of the contest.
