Both Hogan and Burns have been in
training for nearly two weeks in prep

at Millett's training under the watchful
eye of his manager. Walter Franey,
while Burns has been getting in condi-
ton at Whites place, Oakland.
Hogan has been one of the sensations
Of the four FOUNDERS since the days of
Jimmy Britt. He has won great popu-
larity among the fans by his willing
ness to fight and his ability to knock
an opponent out with a punch. His
record shows nearly all knockouts. He
is fighter of the Terry McGovern or
der. who keeps milling from the sound
of the gong until the finish.
He is opposed to a sea soned ringster
in Burns, for the Oakland lad has been

COACH FAULKNER'S
STA7UsQUESTIONED
Athletes Right TO Play Again
on Stanford Team Doubted
i'm Some Quarters
By WILLIAM UNMAcK

There is considerable difference of
opinion among foOtballers as TO the
amateur standing of @. Faulkner and
his right to play on the Stanford foot
ball team this season. The Call an
nounced this week that Faulkner would
return to Stanford this term and that
he would try for his old position of
fuIlback on the cardinal team. The
announcement Immediately started con-
siderable discussion as to whether or
not Faulkner having been the coach
at st. Mary's college last year had for
feited his amateur standing.
There are those who take the side
of the argument that Faulkner was a
teacher in the academic departments of
the st. Marys college. and others are
firmly of the opinion that he was a paid
Rugby coach.
seph. the we'll known athletic director
of ST. Mary's. he said:
I'VE are at bay just at this point in
regard to a coach. The many faCul-
ty changes here have eliminated Faux
ner as teacher in the academic
classes, and because of his amateur
standing T feel that he would not come
solely as athletic director or coach"
The above statement seems to imply
that Faulkner has never broken his
amateur status while at ST. Marys and
that he was paid for services rendered
as a teacher in the academic classes
and that no remuneration was given
him for his services to the football
and other teams.
When the Kansas university decided
a few DAYS ago. that it would be i'm
practicable for the football team TO
play Rugby this season the ST. Mary's
authorities Immediately got in COM
municatiOn with ID. p. Crawford who
had been asked to coach the Kansas
team.
