ways. It is a matter on which very
few of the experts Will agree. Stan
ford men can sum up their own stars
10 their satisfaction and show you ex-
actly where one is better than the
other: yet the California boys can
come right back at you and show you

10 the bad. and there Is nothing to 1t
but the California True, there are
one or two positions on each team
which the opposition comedies to the
other. but the work of the men in
these positions has been so prominent
that the merit must be handed out to
them. The teams as a whole on first
sight look to be evenly matched. but
man for man il is a hard thing TO
Judge Just how they stack up.
Take the fullbacks. for instance. and
there are a lot OF things to consider.
stanford is virtually sure of using An
drews in the position. and he has
shown in the last few weeks that he
has all the earmarks of heaoy
PLAYER. Andrews is not a Benny Ero
nor are there any Benny Erbs play

FULLBACK IN DOUBT
This same lad Peart is a stumbling
block and the California fans are
waiting to see just where he will be
placed. should he be put in at full-

Skinner or Bogardus be used IL looas
as though Andrews will have trlne
on either. Skinner has been worked
and coached considerably, and 1t looks
as though he might get the posltioh
over Bogardus. though the latter has
three good seasons as memper ol
the varsity squad. Skinner Is snow
ing good kicking for touch. ana An
drews is doing equally as good, with
Bogardus not making such long gains.
Bogardus and Skinner are both good

good as these lads at this work; anu

get off the ball and retain possession

Carroll A REAL STAR
On the quarter line there is
not a man on the California team 10

will play center for California, is a
good lad, but is not in the class with
Carol.
aptitude for lodging and running that
promises to puzzle the CaliIorhla
team. but the blue and gold man as
defensive PLAYER is there, and this
will probably have considerable
weight on the question OF Urban
lodging.
Reeves. the other Stanford wing. is
8 dangerous man Z he gets away IN
the loose. and so is Hunt of Califor-
MA. Taken as a three-quarter line
the Dresence Of Carol certainly gives
the stanford team the best OF the
argument, as the work Of this expert
enced rugger is bound to influence tne
entire Stanford back field
As fves on the work up to the pres
ent Peart is tower of strength TO the
blue and gold. He is man with more
experience than Austin, lacking IN
nerves and able TO go through hard
and strenuous game. Austin IS good
tricky player and can play a great
game He swerves to perfection, but
likes to play too much for himselI'
rather than feeding his back field.
Hazeltine. the other California five.
has the signs on Lachmund, though
there is not a very big difference. All
in all. the blue and gold looks to have
a shade on the fve-eighth line
MORRIS HAS THE EDGE
Garfield at halfback has made
good showing for California in the
preliminary games, but the finish is
lacking in his play There is not the
L oh a r I q
that Of Monty Morris. and this will be
a big thing in Saturdays game. Til
ton will probably be the Stanford half
and he has shown 70 the best advan-
tage Of the Stanford serum men, AT
that he is not over brilliant. and un-
less he can get his passes out to his
barkfeld and open up the game, It is
hard TO saw whether Tilton or Can
k field will prove the better. On their
rehowing to date there is nothing SEN
sational about the work of either.
In Gard and Darsie. Stanford has
two breakaways that are the class.
Roth men are quick and agile as
tigers. and around the serum ready TO
nip a pass the minute the ball is lost
II anything these two have IL for
break work on their rivals, Fleming
and Brant
In the front row Of the serum Hall,
Peck and Wines are a trio of hookers
that are said by New Zealand front
rankers TO be slightly better than the
California trio. Abrams. McKim or
Fenstermaeher McKim is a fast
hooker. but If the other men fail TO
support him 1t is not expected that
he can outlook three good men,
I8 the loose McKim is better than
either Of the three Stanford front
rankers, and II is a question Of who
IS the best on the lineout. II is really
2 hard matter TO judge OFF hand. but
the actual contest between the men
will tell the tale.
MIDDLE RANK Is CLOSE
Glover and Blase the Stanford mid
die rankers. are two huskies who can
use their weight to advantage in the
serum. Lockhardt or Fish and saun-
ders appear the men most favored Tor
fhe same positions in the serum of the
California team. There is no acvan-
tage Of any account on which either
sets Of men can claim superiority in
the serum positions they play. but
their work in the loose is what counts.
Plase and Glover have both SHOWN
themselves better dribblers than the
California men. and their work on the
line has been more consistent in the
games played.
These are a few comparisons OF the
men as their work has been seen IN
the various games played. II is COM
parison that simply analyzes the
plaving Of each man. Just whether
the men can live up to their play
ing in the early season games remains
10 be seen tt is the rule rather than
the exception that the players at both
universities show TO best advantage in
hhe big game. If this Is the case.
then the playing Of the men should
be even better than the comparisons
indicate though. of course, there Will
