tered Rugby and show great knowl-
edge OF the finer points OF the game.
ALL IN READINESS
The New Zealanders have up to the
present not been defeated In the
games played in this state. The
Santa Clara team has proved itself
TO be one of the fastest teams playing
the game locally. and last week held
the California university team to the
low score of to 8.
This Is the lowest score that any
team has held the strong, husky blue
and gold men to this season, and
emphasizes the siren 9Th of the Prune
Valley boys.
The Portola committee has made
elaborate arrangements for the
games. The field will be kept clear

CHICAGO. Oct. 22.--The announce

CHAMP SAYS
HIS WEIGHT
IS RIGHT

NEW YORK. Oct. z2.-willie
Richie. lightweight champion of the
world. who makes his first appearance
in this city at Madison Square garden
a week from tonight in 10 round
bout with Leach Cross. 10 the first
holder of the title since the late Joe
Cans was champion to raise the
weight limit Ritchie found time yes
terday to explain why he Is not maxi
ing matches at 1873 pounds ringside.
He discussed the matter today:
Il have never considered 1873 pounds
ringside the lightweight limit" he
said. In fact. there is no rule, Amer
lean or English, under which cham
pionship contests are held that fixes
this limit The history of boxing
shows that Jack McAuliffe. the first
American who held the worlds title,
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-22

defended himself at 135, 1877 and even
lao pounds. Kid LAvigne. who sue
ceeded McAulifre. lost the title ON a
decision to Erne at 135 pounds,
weighing four or five hours before
the bout. Erne was Knocked out by
Cans at 1s6 pounds, weighing at 8
O'Clock.
Battling Nelson made poor Cans
do 1873 pounds for the title and the
latter was physical wreck VOL
CAST played the same trick on Nelson
and also made me fight him at the
133 limit. But since I've become cham
pion have the right to dictate the
weight and have fixed the limit at
135 in order to let challengers who
can not make 13s have crack at the
title.
I'm England the limit Is 1s5 at !
o'clock, seven hours before ring time.
But believe that 1876 at tho ringside
ono hour before a bout is fair enough.
II defeated at 1876 my title will go to
the winner, either by referees de-
cision or by a knockout: but. of
course, I am going to try hard to
avoid such a calamity"

c. N. Weaver of Studebaker
Corporation Tells of Unusual
Chance for Experiment

Through the unintentiohal kindness
OF two transcontinenta1 railroads the
engineers Of the Studebaker corpora
tion have been able to compile. during
the last few days. an array of abso-
iutely unique data regarding the re-
sistance to shock, embodied In the
materials which go to make up a
modern automobile.
The laboratory wherc the expert
ment was performed is a railroad sn-
tersection at an obscure point in
Kansas.
The equipment featured two
through freight trains. one on each
OF the intersootfng tracks
The experiment took place one au-
tumn night when both trains tried
to use the intersection at once, ono
ramming the other squarely in the
middle. At the exact point of col
dsion was car carrying a shipment
OF new Studebaker automobiles
Backed by a force of thousands of
tons. the charging locomotive cut its

used 1t as a battering ram against
the further side of the car, and tossed
1t so feet into a cornfield.
In due time the wrecking crews ar
rived and the damaged automobile
was shipped back to Detroit.
LOOKED LIKE TOTAL WRECK
Specifically, 1t looked a total
wreck. Its body. running boards and
tenders were crumpled and torn. It's
radiator was in pieces. Three wheels
were demolished clear down to the
hubs. The new tires were cut and
Jagged The frame was so bent that
the axles rested at widely varying
angles.
Under the direction of the engi-
neers the car was stripped to the
vital parts of the chassis. The result-
ing inspection was amazing.
The rear axle and transmission unit
was still perfectly true and tho
pressed steel housing showed not
even q dent The drive shaft was
bent and twisted at the point of first
impact. but did not even crack The
same was the case of the pressed
steel torsion arm. Even the frame,
bent. buckled and battered, wns still
intact. cross members and ALL while
the motor and it's internal mechanism
remained good as new The wheel
was gone, but the steering gesr was

mountable rims were undamaged, the

Sir:-In regard to the controversy
in connection with Nj Mason, what
ever may be the merits or dement's of
the divining rod. Mr.. Mason does not
use it to locate water. but believes
that some force generated by the NOV
ing water underground affects his
body whilst his arms are in an eX-

Mr.. Mason is himself deceived and Is
only affected by imagination, how
does this imaginary feeling tell him
that there is water in the most unlike
ly places, where anyone using judg-
ment would not expect to find it? For
instance, when he located a supply for
a small town on the side of a small
volcanic hill on a narrow isthmus, a
gravel quarry occupying the opposite
side of the hill to where the water
lies, and in another case where the
bore was put down over one hundred
feet, three feet away from his peg,
failing to get water, and got it near
