WHO'S WHOON TEAM,
IS RUGBY QUERY
Critics Puzzled to Predict the
Lineups of Cardinal and
Blue and Gold
By WILLIAM uNMACK

BY William YIN NMAOh
Wild guesses are being. made daily as
| to what men will comprise the final
/ ffteens at both Stanford and California
| for the game to be played Novem-
| Der IL. The changes In the lineup of
both colleges have been SO frequent
that it is impossible at this time to
! successfully ffrm definite opinion as
to what men will make the final team
The coaches, more than in any previous
year, have switched the players round
] enthusiast at Berkeley or Stanford can
| not pick his favorites. In previous
years the final teams were practically
known at this time. though not off,
cially announced by the coaches.
This changing of the players so much
and not having the men play together
! for few games is liable to have any
/ thing but q beneficial effect on the final
! teams, as the men are liable to lack
] that all important factor of combfna-
/ ton that is so essential to the proper
working of a winning aggregation. In
+! this, however, both teams are on an
/ equality, as neither Stanford ner Cali
| fornia has played the men together to
! any great extent. The Stanford team
/ however, has more of the .probables"
! playing than has the blue and gold
! team, and the actions of the coaches at
| Berkeley are shrouded with mystery.
| The games to be played on Saturday
! will to a very great extent have a bear
| ing on the final teams at both colleges,
and on the showing made by certain
| of the 'possibles'' rests the final solu-
! tion of the problem
| At California the constant changing
| of the back field has given rise to all
! sorts of teams being concocted The
( playing of the fullback at halfback, and
switching the f1ve-eighths to three
! quarters and changing the wing three
| quarters to the center three-quarters
! position, have all had the effect of
keeping the players and students guess
| ing as to what the coaches real ideas
are and what they finally intend to do
| Schaeffer and Cert are experimenting
| with their men in every conceivable
| direction. and in this they are taking
| a wise course and are liable to con-
! siderably strengthen their teams by
what appears on the surface to be mys-
| terious and peculiar actions. At Stan
ford somewhat the same state of af
| fairs exists, and Presley has switched
a wing forward to the three quarter
| line, besides making other changes IN
der all these changing conditions it is
| hard to pick final team, though when
| all is over with the final teams will be
found in the following 20 men from
each university:

The University of Southern California
fifteen will play the California varsity
men today ct California field. The game
is set for p. m, and Coach Schaeffer
will avail himself of the opportunity to
try out several of the "possibles' that
he has in mind for the final varsity
team. The Los Angeles men are feeling
the effects of their game against Stan
ford last week and will take the field
in a rather crippled condition. The
team had light practice yesterday
morning and state that they Will be
| able to give the blue and gold a good
game Coach Schaeffer has not an
nounced any definite lineup for today.
The southern university will be rep
resented by the following players:
Fullback Pearce; three-quarters. Foss Henry,
snsn snep Bg P2ee P Hunfef
len, olsen Trude, Maddox, McGrew; wing for
ward. Casey.
The Stanford varsity squad will visit
the Berkeley campus this afternoon.
This is the first time in the history of
football that the squad has tried out
the California field. on which the var
sity game is to be played. The cardinal
men will go through regular practice
on the dirt field in order to try to get
used to the different conditions. They
are accustomed at Palo Alto to the
green turf. The team is scheduled to be
out for practice at p. today. and it
is possible it will make another journey
to Berkeley before the game. After
practice the members of the squad will
watch the University of Southern Cali
fornia play the California men.
The sale of tickets for the game start
ed yesterday and the demand for them
was far greater than in any previous
year. Everything points to a record
attendance on November r.
The Stanford varsity was scored on
by the second team yesterday after
noon in a fierce session lasting 35 min
utes. The fierceness of the fight for
places on the varsity is shown by the
fact that 1t took the first team 80 min
utes to score on the second fifteen.
Fullback Brown was transferred to
the second team to give him some de-
fensive work. He had his hands full
at all times, but he was caught with
the ball only once. Buck" Sundell. who
has been playing a whirlwind game at
wing forward, was injured in the line
up, but will not be out of the game
more than a day or two.
The passing and drilling of both
teams was splendid. Both halves were
"smeared" many times by the opposing
breakaway forwards Erb lived up to
his reputation as half without SUI
perior on this coast by getting his
passes away with one motion in pick
ing from the ground and transferring
to the e-eighths, and his long kicks
for touch were accurately made.
The forwards and backs both showed
great skillsin keeping the ball within
bounds by Starting 1t back across the
field when the side boundary was ap-
preached.
