SANTA CLARA
PASSED Up
BY CARDS
Manager Wilcox of Stanford
Suddenly Calls Off the
Big Rugby Game

Graduate Manager Wilcox of the
Stanford varsity football team today
cancelled the game which was sched-
uled to be played Wednesday against
the Santa Clara university team
The cancellation of the contest at
the last minute has aroused the fight
ing blood of the Santa Clarans. and
they are not satisfied with the reason
given-that the Stanford varsity men
are liable to get hurt before the big
game with California
Father Eline of the Santa, Clara
team received notification from Stan
ford today that the game with the
first varsity was off. but was told
that If his team wanted to play. the
second team would take the field for
the game. To this the Santa Clara
athletic moderator objected, and
wahted the Stanford management to
carry through its end of the agree
ment made earlier in the season TO
the effect that the varsity teams of
both institutions would oppose each
other.
FATHER ELINE RUFFLED
The men in charge of the Stanford
team are said to be afraid to take
any chances of getting any of their
men hurt at this date, owing to the
eloseness of the big game. Father
Eline states the Santa Clara team has
never been noted for any rough tac-
tics and fails to see just how anything
unusual could happen.
The Santa Clara athletic moderator
efaeaeterfzed the calling off OF the
game as .'unsportsmanlike" and stated
that the game was arranged early in
the season so that his varsity could
surely meet the best team that Stan
ford can put in the field.
santa Clara has, I think shown
local football fans that we are entitled
TO meet the best that either California
or Stanford can put against u.s. said
Father EIine today. THE sudden
change of front of the Stanford man.
agement looks as though they realize
we have a good team and do not wish
to meet u.s.
AS for saying that our team might
injure the Stanford men. that is ride
4Jous. Any man is liable to get hurt
in any game, whether it is played on
next Wednesday or three weeks ago.
We do not go in to inJure players and
we are surprised at tie stand taken
by Stanford. Our varsity team will
not play the Stanford second team
as suggested"
All efforts to reach Manager Will
cox or Coach Floyd Brown of the
Stanford team failed this afternoon.
Members of the football squad, how
ever, stated that they knew the game
with the varsity was called off, but
no reason could be given other than
the nearness of the big game 1t was
also stated that if the Santa Clara
team came to fulfill the date the Stan
ford second team would be put in
the field.

members of the nobility. friends of
d 'Abruzzi. believing Hit was then In
Rome, made yigoroussearch through
all the hotels of the old capital, pre-

One of the remarkable features of
BILLY, Hits wooing was his sim
plicity. About two years ago he
startled Atlantic City society by TAX

entertaining her on moderate means
and carefully avoiding the cares of
society's whirls. Streetcar rides. in
formal dips in the ocean and the or
binary amusements of the beach at

is believed to be the beginning Of the
