. men registering al Stanford there are
no less than four Rugby school cap
tains of last year. Mcmillan, last
years captain at San Jose high. played
on the five eight line. Darise, who
captained Palo Alto, is another five
man, and brilliant player in this po-
sition. Clarence Stafford, Mission S
captain last year, kept all the high
school teams in a state OF perpleXity
by his play at three quarter. Then
there is Gessler, the high school cap
tain from the Los Angeles high

easily the best individual player on
the San Jose high team.
