coach Faulkner OF st. Mary's college
football team yesterday announced the
varsity team that is to meet the Santa
Clara college team in the annual game
70 be played on Saturday The Santa
Clara college coach will not announce
the Mission town team to the students
al the college until this afternoon. but
The Call is able to give the definite
line up today and the team appearing
on this page is the same as will be an
nounced at the Santa Clara rally today.
Both teams are formidable machines
and the game viii be a well contested
one from start to finish. The names of
the men on the teams represent the
result Of a wedding out process tha {
has occupied some weeks Surviving
players have proved themselves to be
possessed OF considerable ability and
their playing all through the season
has been Of a high order. Both teams
have fast and tricky back fields and
II is on the ability of their backs that
the teams are relying
Just which team is strongest in the
forwards is a matter of conjecture.
The three, two three serum formation
must have the advantage over the
seven pack always. all other things
being equal In the matter Of weight
there Is not a great difference in the
Two teams, though st. Mary's has a
slight advantage in this regard This
sdvants ge, slight though it may be,
row forwards, viii be a big help to
the men from Oakland and on the
serum ability will depend the ability
10 get the ball out TO the back field.
Half Of each team are veteran play
ers from last years teams and the Santa
Clara team has an extra advantage in
having two men, Best and Yabbarran-
do, who have had considerable expe-
rience at the game in Los Angeles.
Both these men are particularly fast,
and Best is said to be one Of the best
wing three quarters ever seen in the
southern city. He was a member of
the CsstaWays club there and has
played with the team for a. number of
seasons. Yabbarrando has also dis
tinguished himself and his defense is
said TO be equally as good as his at
tacking ability.
TrsmutolO. the crack wing forward
Of the Santa Clara team. is still in bed
suffering from the effects of a severe
cold that has developed into a slight
fever. Doubts were expressed last
night as 70 whether the wing forward
would be able to take his place and
there is an undercurrent OF disappoint-
ment among the students that they win
be deprived OF the services OF so goo0
q man. At st. Mary's Roth and Hughes
arc both doubtful starters on Saturday.
Hughes is a particularly brilliant man
in the back field and his absence would
practically demoralize the working of
the men all through the back division.
George Presley. the Stanford coach,
has definitely accepted the position of
refereee and he should make an ideal
Official This Will be Presley's first
public appearance as q referee and his
great knowledge Of the game and his
long experience should make him fitted
to preside in a very able manner.
Both colleges viii hold rallies today
and the names of the teams viii be
announced to the student bodies at
both places.
The weights Of the teams show the
sdvant 10 be St. Mary's IN the for
wards, the avera ges per man being st.
Marv's 173 and Santa Clara l67.
IN the back field the Santa Clara
team has much heavier men. The
weights per man are St. Mary's 155,
Santa Clara 161.
