BABY RUGBY men
ON THEIR METTLE
Competition Is Keen for Places
on Teams of the Two
Universities
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The annual freshman football game
between the baby teams of California
and Stanford universities will be played
at Palo Alto Saturday afternoon and
the interest in football next week will
center around the final teams that are
expected to be selected to represent
the different universities.
The competition for places on the re-
spective teams Is as keen among the
first year men as is the case with the
seekers of varsity honors. At Califor-
MIA there has been a host OF available
talent for the coaches to select from
more than $50 men, while at Stanford
the coaches had less than 70 men to
draw on. These men have gradually
been weeded out until the remaining
men are the best In the two original
packs. The California coaches have
had an unusually hard task to do JUS
tice to the large squad at their dis
wisdom of the coaches made by the
California officials.
For fullback at California there has
been host of good men, but the place
now rests between little O'Hara and
Drake. For the three quarter position
six. They are McNein, Hale, McClise
Smith, Clayton and Rivers. OF these
men the first four are the most likely
to fight out the final stages for the
three positions. Next Tuesdays game
against ST. Mary's will virtually decide
the team.
For the five-eighth position Lee and
Dills seem to be a class by them
selves, though Monteagle and Hender-
son have to be considered. At the half
back there is only one man and that
| is Mcmahon. The forwards are hard
er lot to select than the backs. Another
thing that makes the forward division
uncertain is the different formations
that the coaches have been using. The
men who have shown up to best adj
vantage in the eight pack are Fleming,
Abrams. Adler, Him, Allen, King, I'LL
cry, Fisher, Shaw and Emerson Should
the wing forward be used by Schaeffer
and Cert in the game only seven of the
men will be used and there is not the
least doubt that Bailey, the Long
Beach high school boy, will fill the
wing forward place.
At Stanford the team is even more
easily selected than the blue and gold
fifteen. At fullback there is no one to
displace Kaufman. On the three-Quar-
ter line there are four men for the
three positions in ,Geissler, Henry, Rob-
erts and Weber with perhaps Hall as
well. For the five-eighth positions
Harrigan and Reeves appear to have a
mortgage. AT halfback Tilton's most
dangerous opponent is Burns. Coach
Presley is going to play the wing for
ward position, and here Darsie of last
years Palo Alto team has no opposi-
tion The forwards will be found to be
among Boulware, Mitchell. Watkins.
Olmstead, Glover, Gard, Brown, Bar
man, Franceschi and Blase. Summing
the whole situation UP at both colleges
the final teams appear to be as follows:

WALTER JENNINGS
TO CONDUCT DAIRY
Prominent HOrseman VIII Not
Desert Turf, but Has
Leased String

Six horses which Walter Jennings
leased to John Givens have arrived at
the Emeryville track. Jennings was
visitor in the city yesterday and said
that he is about to embark in the dairy
business and sheep raising on his
Woodland farm. He~will not desert
the turf, however, and expects to be
at Emeryville most of the season. The
colors of jennings have always been
popular and the success of the horses
from his ranch will be welcomed.
Barney Schreiber was highly eIated
after winning the $4,000 Dominion
handicap at Fort Erie with Jack Atkin.
His share of the purse was $3.50 and
1T brought the total of the winnings of
the great horse to about $4,000 In
winning the event the son of Sain es-
tablished new Canadian record for
mile and a. quarter, covering the
distance in 2:04.
1t was generally supposed that the
route was further than Jack Atkin
cared to go and he was neglected in
the betting, going to the post at 10
to /. John Powers had the famous
campaigner. in fine shape and Jockey
Archibald carried out instructions to
the letter, getting away well and rush
Ing to the front. He held the lead
throughout and won by head from
John Reardon, which he outgamed in
the last 20 yards. After being taken
on the outside Olambala, with CLASS
in the saddle, was good third. Dom
aid Macdonald, Fauntleroy and Guy
Fisher were the other starters.
Schneider announced that he would
ship Jack Atkin from Fort Erie to
Louisville and after the close of La
tonia retire him to the farm near ST.
Louis to rest up for the winter.
The late Lucien AppIeby owned
other famous horses in addition to
Knight of Ellerslie and Henry of Ma
varre. Among them was Tristan, which
beat Raceland and Tenny and made
record for mile and an eighth. Jack
of Hearts, Carnation and Bankrupt.
were others in the stable of the we'll
known turfman. Jack of Hearts was
one OF three horses which ran a dead
heat at Sheepshead bay in the second
season of the track. The others were
Bootjack and Flo. The sketch of
these horses as they looked in that
race appears on all the stationery of
the Coney Island jockey club, and is
the Sheepshead Bay insignia
Trainer Heath is preparing the string
of Charles w. Clark at the San Mateo
farm and Will ship to Emeryville at
the opening of the season. There will
be eight performers in the Clark stable
this season, including the sensational
year old filly, Cluny. She was the
fastest of her sex here last season.
Chantilly is another that will carry
the Clark colors. There are three year
1ings by Ostler Joe In thesstring.
George Baldwin, who formerly raced
some of the best horses from the ranch
of the late Lucky Baldwin. is plan
ming to return to the turf. Baldwin
is visitor in the city and said yester-
day that he expected to race a stable
at Emeryvilie this season.

MOTORCYCLISTs TO
HAVE open DATE

The members of the San Francisco
motorcycle club, some % of whom en-
joyed a social run to Los Gatos last
Sunday, are still talking of the good
time they had. One of the most notice
able features of these runs that the
club makes a point of having every
women attend In speaking of this
yesterday DR.. /. w. Letcher said that
the number Of women who are par
ticipating in the events of the club
is constantly increasing, and further
more many of them are taking to rid
ing alone, managing their motorcycles
with an ease equal to that of the men.
Today there is no special programmed
event, but on account of the excep-
tionally fine weather of the last few
days many Will take a run into the
country for the day. Next Sunday the
club will hold picnic run to Niles
canyon. A large number of riders have
signif1ed their intention of joining in
the event.
The club Is in a most flourishing
condition, the numerous events which
are being held keeping the life of the
club up to the standard mark. Inter-
est is never allowed to lag in motor
cycle circles, this being one point which
it would be well for the automobile
organizations to emulate
