CALIFORNIA RUGBY
FIFTEEN A HUMMER
Veterans Of State University Squad Play
Like Great Machine
Bv WILLIAM UNMACK

The California team TO play the
Stanford varsity is practically known
and the men to form the team repre-
sent the pick Of the players from an
original squad Of over 100 men. Coaches
Schaeffer and CERT have welded the
men into the finest machine that has
ever represented the blue and gold and
the ability Of the team is so superior
to anything previous that the students
At California can see nothing else but
a victory for their team.
The team viii include 13 Of last
years varsity team. Captain Dwiggins
viii again assume the role of fullback
that he so ably filled last year. Dwig-
gins has wonderful boot and his
kicks for touch and long gains are the
feature Of his play. On the three
quarter line Watts is assured of his
Fplsce on the right wing and the other
wing will be filled by Peart At center
three-quarter Chet Allen viii possibly
fill the place. unless Schaefer decides
70 play him at fve-eighth back with
Elliott Should Allen remain at center
three-ouarter. Stroud and Elliott viii
be the five-eighths. For halfback Monty
Morris has a decided lead and Evans is
his only opponent. Norris has con-
siderably improved over last years
form and he has shown TO great advan-
tage in all the games played this year.
IN the forwards there has been a
large array Of talent to select from.
The front row of the serum viii have
three men Of proven ability in Cap
Phleger. Markwart and Pauly. They
have made life miserable for all their
opponents this season and their ability
~ hooking the ball is OF a high stand
ard. Hardy and Ashley were the
second row men in last years game
and appear TO have the same places
cinched this year. In the rear rank
Tiny Jordan viii be a strong acquisi-
tion with his great weight. Harris and
Swsrtz Will complete the team by tax
ing the break away positions in the
rear rank. The men who viii be on the
substitute list Will be H Phleger, Han
sen, Emerson, Dills. King and Evans.
The serum formations of California
a nd Stanford will be entirely different
and the formation adopted by the blue
nd gold is liable TO be of great advan-
taEe TO them over the two, three. two
and wing formation Of the Stanford
team. California will use the three,
two. three formation after thorough
coaches.
Referee Jenkinson of Vancouver ar
rived at Berkeley yesterday afternoon.
The noted authority on the game de-
clared the new hye yard THROWN rule
at the local universities to be a step in
the right direction to gain public favor.
The rule opens up the game consider
ably and Jenkinson is OF the opinion
that the public wants and demands a
fast open game Jenkinson viii go to
Stanford before Saturday and go over
the rules with Presley.
California field was a qHagmire yes
terday afternoon, the result Of the
rain during the day. The second var
sity football team was sent to the field
with canvass and the entire field was
covered. This is intended TO keep the
ground from soaking up any more
water and in this manner the playing
surface will be in fair condition for
the game on Saturday.
The varsity squad had light practice
on the old field sesterday afternoon.
