LICK SCHOOL OUT
FOR old FOOTBALL
Veterans of Eleven Man Team
Hear can to Practice
on GridirOn
BY DAVID H. WALKER IR.

Tomorrow afternoon the Tigers will
again be seen in action. The call for
the old footbalirnen Of the California
School of Mechanical Arts has been
sounded. and when the last class is
grounds of the Lick school will once
again ring with the shouts of the play
ers and the call of signals.
The lads of the black and gold have
had but one week of school. and affairs
at the Utah street institution are in a
somewhat unsettled state. AS yet 1t
is difficult to determine the strength
OF the team and the possibility of some
OF the old players returning to again
take up their studies is not remote.
Captain p. S. Wetmore has decided,
however, to get his veterans and sub
stitutes of last years eleven into ac-
ton prior to the general rally and
signing up. of new men. The big rally
and inauguration of the season form
ally will take place Wednesday An
elaborate program is in preparation by
Captain Wetmore. Speeches, songs and
yells will be on the card and every
thing done to raise enthusiasm, as the
Tigers realize that this year they
face difficult situation If they would
win the high honors in the league.
Nash, the husky center, is back at
A<iSA dIlu Icd0y lOI LIE IIdy. ne Will
be f1anked on either side by veteran
linemen. Captain Wetmore will prob
ably play at right guard. while Kahrt
will be at his old place of left guard.
This center trio Is a formidable one
and speaks we'll for the chances of the
eleven as a defensive machine. The
tackles are both veterans. Stuhr. who
played at the right tackle post last
year, will make a bid for his former
berth and should o1alify while the
left tackle veteran is Westfall. This
comprises the entire veteran line ma
terfal. The end positions are open
places and it is likely that Barker
and Young, two favorfte substitutes
last season, should come close to max
ing the coveted IL this term.
In the back field Quarter Back
Wynne is the full f1edged veteran who
makes UP the half dozen vets. But
good men In the persons of Al Wetmore
at fullback, Clark at tackle and Chap
man at subquarter are to be found.

Crack Tennis Player DiSpOSeS OF
w. M. Hall With Ease on
Omaha Courts

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6.-Two new ma
9ional tennis championships were es-
tablished today, when Melville H. Long
Of San Francisco took the clay court
championship in singles and W. T.
Hayes OF Chicago and F. C. Anderson
Of Brooklyn were successful in doubles.
The contest in the doubles proved the
more interesting because Long had
almost a walkover in the singles
against w. Merrill Hall Of New York.
The doubles went five sets. Results:
Championship singles. final round
Long beat Hall. Go. 6-1. 6-1.
Championship doubles. final round
Anderson and Hayes beat Long and
Seribner. 2-6, 3-6. 6-I, 6-3, 6-3.
The match in singles was an upset
Hall had been picked 10 win by many.
and there were few who expected the
san Francisco man to secure the easy
victory he achieved.
During the entire match Hall was
sble TO take but two games, and was
easily outclassed-
The pace set by Long IN the singles,
however had its effect on the San
Francisco man. and when he went into
the race for the doubles championship
g with only half an hours rest the result
was manifest. With Arthur Scribner,
the fast Omaha player. he was able to
take the first two sets from Anderson
and Hayes. but the New York and Chi
Cago men from that time on proved the
3resher and overcame the lead. taking
the last three sets in easy fashion.

TEACHERS MEET
TO ORGANIZE WORK
Superintendent F. F. Bunker of
Berkeley Urges Cooperation
in School Department

BERKELEY, Aug. e.-A general
organization meeting of the teachers
and officials of the school department
of this city was held in the audi
torium of the high school this after
noon. Superintendent Frank F.
Bunker. School Director Roy ].
Young, Deputy superintendent NJ c.
of the teachers association, were the
speakers. Practically the entire
teaching force of the schools was
present.
At the close of the session the
various principals assembled their
teachers and discussed the organiza-
tion of work in their schools, which
open Monday.
Bunker declared that upon the
work of the teacher depended the sue
cess of the department. He said:
On her shoulders rests the chief responsibility.
for she IS the one who deals at first hand with
the children in the classroom. No matter how
much planning may be done by the board OF
education. the supervisors the principals, or
the superintendent, 1t is the teacher who
executes
How important it Is then. that we conscienti
ously seek In every thing to uphold her hands We
should see to il that she is happy in her work.
for work is most effective when the worker is
eontented. We should SEQ to it that the teacher
is kept encouraged. for people accomplish most
when they work with consciousness of success.
We must. this year, in every department. seek
to secure superior results. There are still many
places in work which be bettered and
the chief task of the coming year must be that
of internal Improvement
Our course of study running throughout the
entire department should be worked over in tho
light of the reorganization plan which is now
IN effect: methods must be devised for increas-
Ing regularity Of school attendance, particularly
in the high school. We must vigorously take up
the problem of developing in the children more
serious attitude toward their school work.

ATHLETES OF HIGH
SCHOOLS ARE BUSY
Football Is Leading Topic in
Amateur Sport Circles; Old
Game Much Alive
By, HERBERT HAUsER

Now that the schools around the
bay are open, high school activities
take the lead in amateur athletics and
every one is about looking for the
latest dope" OF course, football is
the principal topic in athletic circles.
The majority of the public high
schools will play Rugby. Polytechnic,
Lick. Wilmerding, Alameda and Stock
ton will probably be the only repre-
sentatives of the old game, which will
still be played by Belmont, st. Math-
Matthew's and Hitchcock.
The local schools are sufferers from
graduation. Mission high has lost it's
best man, Clarence STAFFORD, who will
enter Stanford university next month.
Lick has lost Margo and Dryer. so that
this seasons championships are very
much In doubt.
Track athletics also have been cut
tain Cohen will be among the missing.
Dave Brown, last years promising
freshman, has found his school duties
too arduous and quit, but the red and
white athletes are encouraged by the
news that Prof. Fred Koch will handle
the coaching end of the trackmen this
year. which In itself means a substan-
Lldl team.
Lick will remain out of track
athletics this fall as usual and will
devote its time to football. George
Middleton will coach the eleven.
Oakland high school has lost
Deming Maclise, the crack hurdler,
Mike Smith, Its star field event man.
Fred Malls, the popular miller, and
one or two others of lesser light.
Captain Heisen still has some classy
men to pick from. Frank Todd, the
star quarter miller, has returned. So
have Maker and Wright, promising
successors to Maclise.
Berkeley high will be a heavy loser
in all branches of sport, track
athletics especially. Woods. the crack
sprinter. Is now attending the Univer-
sity OF Southern California. Frank
Brophy so rumor says, has entered
Los Angeles high school. and Ingra-
ham and Steele appear to be among
the few point winners remaining.
Campbell, who was the schools star
sprinter two years ago, has returned,
but as he has been attending the Uni
versity of Utah, he probably will be
ineligible.
Oakland polytechnic has not cut
much of a figure in track athletics for
a number of years. but, according to
Physical Director Boek, the lads from
the business school intend to make a
fight for hohors this season.
Fremont high will enter good
track team this semester. The school
authorities are building a track right
on the school grounds which will give
the Fruitvale lads an excellent place
on which to train.

BIG STEELHEAD
CAUGHT IN NORTH
Twelve and a Half Founder Is
Taken in Eel River With
Artificial Fly
BY FRANK o'DoNNELL

About the most interesting bit of
nshfng news that reached the city
from anglers on distant streams dur
ing the week just ended was from the
Eel river. Authentic advices from this
popular steelhead stream said that big
trout were ascending the river in
large numbers and that prominent
sportsman of Humboldt county had
s1gnalized the beginning of the run by
capturing a fish Weighing 121z pounds
on an artificial fly. c.. j. Craddock of
Eureka was the angler who accom-
plished this feat and his big fish.
which was one of a catch of four
taken at the Weymouth resort, was
the largest taken on a fly In several
years. The run of half Founders was
Just beginning, several fly fishermen
having had a few rises. Several big
fish were also taken from the Hanson
pool. Mrs. J. M. Vance, Harry Vance
and wife. and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Maskey are on the river having ex-
cellent sport.
Sportsmen who went in for the
usual one day fishing stunt at the
close of last week were divided be-
tween nearby trout streams and the
loafing places of the striped bass
around the bay. All of the striped
bass fishermen who left the city.
however. did not go fishing for the
linear marked fish. The San Francisco
striped bass club had an outing at
Tocoloma. which most of the mem-
bers attended with their families and
guests. A special car was provided
for the club and after an excellent
dinner served in the hotel the
picnickers settled down to enjoy them
selves thoroughly. Charles H. Kewell
was there, unescorted, In the capacity
of official paying teller, and James
Sinclair Turner, also unattached, was
present, prepared to chaperone all who
needed his services. President Emil
Acceret led in the fun making, in
which he was assisted by evsry one
present. No fish were caught, but the
outing was voted the most successful
ever given by the club, which was not
surprising, considering that the women
with the men.
Some nice baskets of fish were taken
from the San Gregorio and Pescadero
lagoons in San Mateo county during
the week. Last Sunday a party of
local anglers took 80 fine steelhead at
Pescadero. Doctor A E. Banks made
a special trip to the city to replenish
his equipment SO as to get In the
going at Pescadero, where big run
was reported. Charles F. Breiden-
stein and Fred Sarcander started a
three days fishing expedition at Pes
cadero last Friday.
For the accommodation of fisher
men the Ocean Shore railroad COM
pany has arranged to have the regular
$40 D. m. train from here on Satur-
day go straight through to Tunitas
glen. Returning fishermen may leave
Tunitas at p. m, Sunday, or at 6:10
a. M, Monday. The early Monday
train Twill land passengers in San
Francisco at 8:25.

J. f. Lynch today for protection from
the unpleasant, persistent attentions
of an admirer named John Parnel1

Miss Butler said that Parnell was an
employe of the commissary department
of the Southern Pacific company and
that they made chance acquaintance
with each other while staying at the
same boarding house some months ago
but that she gave him no encourage
ment to think that there could be any
thing between them more that a
mere acquaintance. When she left the
boarding house he left also and COM

The story told by Miss Butler reused
