The playing Of 81 Davidson as full

day was a big feature of the game.

anxious to do this. and, IL anything,

runs through the field were reminis-
cent of the wonderful work in this re-

SToLTZ IN LIMELIGHT
That playing Rugby in Rugby
country is an education in the finer
points was amply demonstrated by
the wonderful game played by Stubby
Stoltz OF the Olympic club teams
Stubby and Danny Carol of Stanford
were the two brainiest men on the
field Saturday. This not detracting
from the ability of the other men.
but these two men were in a class
by themselves at taking opportunities
and making openings.
1t is doubtful If finer piece Of
work has been seen on a local field
than Stoltz' try for the club men.
Stubby grabbed up the ball, took ad-
vantage of the opening and his pace.
The sight of the former Oxford uni
versity man making 101 gait down
the field. beating out Urban of stan
ford, and all the time watching the
fast coming Danny Carol is a fea-
ture of the game that will long be
remembered.

the best class of football that have
been seen here since the game was
started. but that the future of the
game will this season mark new era
in high class Rugby
The good accomplished by the visit
of the waratah team last year was
visible in many of the movements OF
all teams concerned Saturday, and
with the visits OF the New Zealand
team this season local footballers are
going TO learn as much If not more
OF the finer points of the game than
have been assimilated from last years
great exhibitions by the Waratah
team.
TEAMS ARE STEADY
Saturdays games were undoubtedly
the best FIRST games" ever witnessed
on local fields between varsity and
club teams. and when all the players
strike their true condition 1t is appar-
ent that the standard of the game
will show an Improvement of 33 1-3
per cent over the admitted high
standard that was shown last year.
The Stanford Olympic game was
ragged, taken as a whole, but there
were flashes in the pan which were
aptly and correctly styled by the
bleacherites as great" There was a
10 minute spasm in the second half
OF the game at Stanford that defied
comparison with any game played in
all the years that Rugby has been
seen here. That spasm had every man
on his feet yelling as only an inter-
collegiate game has been able TO ac-
complish in the past. There was ac-
ton and good football a-plenty in
those few minutes and had the men
been in their best condition the high
standard would have been carried on
for more than the 10 minutes.
AS it was that sprint took most of
the sap out of both teams and they
settled down TO a steady scramble
afterward.
NEW SYSTEM PLEASES

Barbarian teams tried out the new IA

to take place in the intercollegiate
game this year. From all accounts the

The only excuse that McCredie had
10 offer was that his team was in
crippled condition. At that it is very
doubtful II the Beavers would have
Jared any better with the regular
team in the field. as the Seals were
playing remarkable ball
The Beavers were helpless before
the Seals pitchers. In the series Of
eight games three runs which the
northerners scored off Lefty Leiaeld
last Wednesday afternoon was the
biggest effort they made.
High class pitching and superior
fielding were the features Of the game
that were responsible for the locals
victories. All Of the Seals hurlers
were working in great form. and they
were given bang up support through
out the week.
As a result Of the weeks play, Port
lands lead has been shortened TO FIVE
games, which gives the Venice Tigers
an excellent chance TO lead the race at
the end OF the season. The men un-
der Hogan are going along at a great
clip and IL they maintain their present
pace they will be right up there at the
finish.
Portland's downfall during the week
can not be attributed to the weak
playing Of the club. The team simply
ran up against a club that was play
ing its best game and the pitchers
were working in the height Of their
form.
The Beavers left for Portland last
night for three weeks stay at home
which marks the last time the Beav-
ers viii be seen on their own grounds
this season. The final three weeks
will be spent on the road.
The series this week in the north
between the Beavers and Tigers is an
important one and II will have a
great bearing on the result of the
pennant race.

Portlanders this week he Will have a
splendid chance Of capturing his lau-

amendment, it is hoped. will serve to

to be behind the Kistier bill, will not
stand for the remonstrance clause, it
is said, and the bill will probably die
