Your able editorial in The Star OF May
=; as basis for the following sug-

This would mean more to peace

speeches and resolutions. or the shouting
of an army on whose banners was writ

gineering and must have had experience

sary to appointment as is the ability to

nometry. geography, worlds history, the
Constitution of the United States. physics.
grammar, composition, English literature

WOULD STAGE GAME
DURING FESTIVAL

The California Rugby union is anx-
ious to help boost the Portola celebra-
tion, and with this end in view d. w.
Burbank and w. Donald, representing
the union, waited on the Portola ath-
letic committee last night and offered
to play the New Zealand and Santa
Clara game under the auspices of the
Portola committee without any ex-
pense to the Portola.
The .Portola committee was inclined
to accept the offer If the game was
played as a free game at the Golden
Gate park stadium, but the union offi-
cials asked that the game be played
at the ST. Ignatius stadium. where a
gate could be charged. To this the
Portola committee objected, giving as
their reason that the game at ST.
1gnatius would be a counter attrac-
tion to the free game already ar
ranged for the park stadium. The
Portola committee then offered the
Rugby union sum of 5000 to play
the game at the stadium, and Burbank
and Donald will place this suggestion
before the union at a special meeting
next week.

afternoon. The rowing association
pointed out thta 1t would be impossi-
BILE to get the best crews for a re-
gatta on Thursday morning, October
%. and requested that the date be
changed to Saturday afternoon, which
was done. The motor boats Will now
have the course to themselves and a
2 " mile straightaway course, extend
Ing from Folsom street to Twenty
second street and return, was laid out
by the motor boat committee and ac-
cepted by the general committee.
Tom Halpin, one of the best quarter
milers in the country, and Tom Power,
the eastern Canadian champion mile
runner will both be brought out here
to participate In the Portola athletic
meet, which is to be held at the park
