football teams both open their foot
lban season on Saturday with contests
,against the University of California

s'The present been able TO get enough
practice work TO strike the best con-
dition.
Commissioner Phil Johns of the
Barbarians will have big squad
from which to pick his men for the
coming season. Johns intends 10 in
stroduce a lot of new blood into the
ranks of the Barbs this year, and
states that the old players are going
TO have a hard time to hold their
positions on the team.
The new blood has been recruited
from the best high school players OF
last year, from the University OF Santa
Clara, College of the Pacific, both
Stanford and California and also in
cludes one of last years Nevada var
sity stars.

while his brother, Harry, who made
such a good showing against the
waratahs last year with the Barba-
rians. will be out TO retain his old
berth at wing three quarters.
Jack Glascock. something of a bird
of passage in the Rugby world, has
come back TO his first club affiiiation,

his Rugby at the University of Cali
fornia. back in 1906 and 1907. Then
he migrated to England. where he
learned q little more. Then he made
a dash for gay Paree. where he repre-
sented the gesticulating nation as an
international player against England
Returning to sunny California he
Joined the Barbs and made great
showing with the original Rugby
club team in 1911. Last year he
ipIayed with the Olympics. and now
the old Barbarians will have him on
their lists once more.
Girls Momson, who played interna-
tional football for America against
Australia last year, will be a break
away man for the Barbs. The Uni
'versity of California will be strongly
represented on the Barbs with Merl
Price, who will hold down the full
back position for the black and white
team.
Charlie Perkins. one of the best
last year. has signed up with the club
men, and will have little trouble in
handing a berth in the serum.
The College Of the Pacific has con-
tributed Turton and McNair, two
husky forwards. and Withrow. a five
eighths of ability. Berkeley high
will be strongly represented with
men who last year helped win the
interscholastic state championship
for the cross hay school team.
Bill Knowles, the crack hye-
eighths: Norm Slater, a serum half;
NIicky Forbes, the dashing center
three-quarters; Dave Shuman, a front
sranker for the serum; Irwin Reimers,
a husky forward and Spider
Haynes. another forward. are all
Berkeley boys who viii try out for
sthe Barbs' team.
OF last years Barbarian veterans
on hand who will be a big asset to
the team are old reliable Fred Brown
who is the only original Barbarian
man stil1 playing the game; Dave
Boulware. the scrappy forward. and
Fairy Fairbanks

tend to let his team be idle. He has
