DAMAGED
BY HEAVY RAINS
Prices Slightly Higher Than on
Saturday and Quality
inferior

The continued rains for fhe past few
days have caused considerable damage
to the berry crop in the vicinity Of
Washington.
The prices quoted on the locad mar-
ket today averaged from ! TO ~ cents
higher than those Of Saturday, and the
berries now being received are of a
poorer grade than any received so for

Strawberries and bIack5erries are very
soft, and can only ne kept a short time
With the exception of the berries the
produce market is in a very good con-

MISSION FIFTEEN
AWAITS PALO ALTO
High School RuggerS Are Prac-
ticing Hard for Champion
ship Game Saturday
By WILLIAM UNMACK

Mission high school rugby team was
out for practice yesterday in prepara-
tion for the championship game with
Palo Alto high which is. to be played
on California field next Saturday. The
Missionites were in communication with
Harry Renwick, who coached the Santa
Clara college team so successfully,
with a view to getting him to return
as coach for the Mission team, which
he formerly handled. Renwick found
that business would prevent him from
accepting the position. and c. Minto
was engaged TO coach the team. Mimic
had the squad out yesterday afternoon.
putting them through formations and
practicing signals. The latter have
been proved to be a waste of time in
Rugby football, and the long list of
signals that st. Mary's had worked up
for the Santa Clara game last week
was absolutely worthless. The Palo
Alto team is also putting in solid
practice this week.
The interest in the coming club
championship game is getting very
keen. Both teams are practicing daily
and they promise to be of exceptional
strength. The Barbarians will have a
much stronger team than has repre-
sented the Eddy street club in any of
the preliminary games. CoHniliSSloHet
Phillips yesterday announced the fol-
lowing lineup:
Funback G. Faulkner; three-quarters. Dono-
van Sorenson Lombard: hve-efghths Peters.
Johns; halfbsck, Phillips; wing forward, Fyfe;
forwards. Brown. Turner, Twitchell, Fairbanks,
Crawford, Sader. GlascOck.
The team is particularly strong in
the forwards, and it is on the ability
of the pack that the followers of the
team are placing their hopes. The
Olympic club also has a strong forward
bunch Of players, and the game viii to
a great degree resolve itself into a
struggle between the forward di-
visions.
Commissioner Hickey of the Olympic
club has not announced his final team
up to the present, but it will be named
before the end of the week.
The victorious Santa Clara fifteen
will probably invade Los Angeles for
post season games. and arrangements
are now being made with the Uni
versity of Southern California for a
series TO be played during the Christ
mas holidays. Three games will prob
ably be played, one on Christmas day,
another on New. Years day and the
third on a day between these two
dates.

HITCHCOCK eleven
READY FOR GAME
Lineup for Thanksgiving Cham
pionship Announced-AIa-
media Dilemma Unsettled

Physical Director Robert NJ. Bentley
of Hitchcock military academy and
Coach Pete Smith are working hard
with the Academy team in preparation
for the Academic league championship
game, which will be played on Thanks
giving afternoon at the Presidio ath
letic grounds. Yesterday afternoon.
after putting the team through some
hard scrimmages with the second
eleven. the coaches announced the fol-
lowing as its lineup for the big game:
Gill. fullback: Captain Bates. left half
back; Alldrich, right halfback; Bishop.
quarter back; Kelley, center; Madison,
left guard: Richards, right guard; Oh
son, left tackle; Wood. right tackle
Heastand, left end; Cass, right end.
There is still a possibility that there
may be a switch in positions. with Gill
taking right half and Strong going to
fullback Among the substitutes who
may secure positions are Jeffreys.- left
tackle; Atkinson, left halfback; How
itt, right tackle. and Colgan. These Is
players have been out regularly all the
season.
The matter of Alameda playing was
still in allegiance up to a late hour last
night. Sunday afternoon President
Archie Cloud of the Academic lea que
had conference with Principal
Thompson of the Alameda high school
In an effort to come to an agreement.
Both sides were willing to postpone the
game if it could be arranged with
Hitchcock. but upon being informed of
the facts of the case the latter school
representatives found that 1t would be
impossible for them to delay playing
on account of the closing of school for
vacation. This announcement was con-
veyed to the Alameda team, which will
be given until today noon to decide.
The Alameda team feels in duty bound
to go to Fresno, and 1t is doubtful IL
it will accede TO the leagues wishes.
notwithstanding the fact that it is de-
sirous of being declared league cham
pions, having gone through the season
undefeated
In the meantime Coach Sidney Hol-
man has the Lick school eleven out for
practice. He feels confident that the
Tiger team can defeat Hitchcock.
though the latter team has a 2 to
victory over the local boys. In case
Alameda does not care to play. the Lick
team will be fit and ready for the con-
test
