the benefit of A. o. Gragg, the Rugby
player who suffered serious injury
in one of the games of the post-season
series, are completed. Viewed from
all standpoints this contest promises
TO be one of the most interesting and
hardest fought of the entire series The
two teams which will appear in action
are those of the Coyote and Breakers
eating clubs. These teams are old time
rivals and each aggregation is particu
larly anxious to win this game, which
is the final championship contest
A large amount of the best Rugby
talent in the university will be seen in
the game. Horton, former track cap
tain. and former varsity forward;
Bellah the present track captain, and
Babe" Crawford the best forward that
has ever played on the Stanford var
sity and a former captain, will don
suits for the Coyotes. Opposing them
such men as Brown. the fullback on
this years varsity, and Dietz, the presi-
dent of the student body, will be seen.
Jimmie flanagan, Stanford's most fa-
nous coach, will referee the game,
while Coach Presley and A. E. Roth,
a former Stanford Rugby star, will act
as f1agmen.
The Stanford band will appear in it's
full strength of 80 pieces and will give
a concert before the game, in addition
to playing all the new and old Stanford
songs during the contest. The women
of the university are making an espe-
cial effort to cause the affair to be as
successful as possible. Not only will
the fair students turn out in numbers,
but they are using their influence to
make the attendance of the males
large one.
Gragg is not the only man who has
suffered injuries on the football field.
F. Multaner. while engaged In practice
for the soccer game tomorrow between
the Stanford aggregation and the YAM
pires of San Francisco, suffered a seri-
Gus fracture of his right leg and will
be confined to the hospital for some
time with the injury.
Multaner played center half on the
soccer team and was one of the most
valuable men that has appeared for the
position this year His loss will cripple
the team in all the games to come. He
is senior in the department of chem
iStry.
Team 2, composed of men from the
Coyote club, yesterday afternoon ac-
quired the right to compete in the
final championship game OF the post
season Rugby series by defeating team
A. made up of men from the Phi Kappa
Psi, Theta Delta Chi and Sigma Nu fra
ternities. The Coyote team won by a
score of 16-0.. While most of the game
was played between the forwards and
but few passing rushes were success
ful, there were two started by the
Coyotes which swept the field. The
first was during the middle of the first
period when Crawford secured at four's
40 and with Bianchi and Chandler. ad-
vanced 40 yards for try. The second
was when Frank and Crawford put the
ball Over the line for a try from four's
20. Crawford converted.
Team 4 did not make the showing
that has advanced them so far in the
series and this is due chiefly to the
loss of such men as Darsie Belcher and
c. Smith from the backfeld. They put
up a good, gritty fight and did not
slacken up until the last two or three
minutes of play. Then, with darkness
beginning to hide the players, the
Coyotes struck through their defense
twice and added 10 points to. their
score.
