BY WILLIAM UNMACK


team this season promises to be the
strongest that has ever represented the
winged "O' organization since the club
adopted the game In 1907.
The array of high class players that
Manager Milt Haley has been gathering
around him during the last few weeks
will make all opposition sit up and
take notice.
If the men already signed up on the
club football register are able to show
the same ability that they did dur
ing their college career on the football
field then the team should make a. won
derful record
The club will need strong con-
tingent to make good showing in the
big schedule that Haley has arranged
for his men to participate In. The
winged "O' team will clash twice with
California varsity. four times with STAN
ford varsity and once with the New
Zealand team, which Is to visit this
coast in October.
Besides these games there are possi-
BILE games with Santa Clara university
and the Los Angeles Athletic club, be-
sides the annual game for the club
championship against the Barbarians
on Thanksgiving day.
Many new faces will be seen in Olym-
pic uniforms, though these same faces
will not be new to the football public.
Stanford and California graduates OF
last year have Hooked to the Olympic
banner In numbers and they are all
men of great capabilities.
One OF the most important additions
to the Olympic club lineup will be
Stubby Stolz. who has recently returned
from oxford university. where he at
tended as a Rhodes scholar. Stolz
learned the rudiments of the Rugby
game at Stanford in 1907 and 1908, and
on going to Oxford quickly showed his
ability and made the varsity He has
picked up considerable of the inside
of the game and made such a good
showing in England that he came very
near being selected on the English in
ternational team. He plays the back
field and will be one OF the brightest
stars In his position on the team.
stanford has sent a lot of men to
the Olympic club from last years team.
last years captain and halfback. Louis
Cass. will be a valuable man on the
club team Bert Rising and Gene Kern
are two other Stanford men who are
- the highest class OF back players on
the coast
other men OF last years Stanford
team who will be seen in an Olympic
uniform this year are Doc Schaupp and
Jack Partridge. the giant forwards.
The University OF California will not
be so strongly represented on the club
team, but Soggy Miller, III. Fletcher
and possibly two Others Of last years
team will make up in a great measure
in their hard work the lack of num-
bers Of the blue and gold men,
Santa Clara will also have couple
of good men in the club uniform in
Bob Flood and Irving Best.
Besides all this new talent the club
has a long list of veterans on hand.
This list includes: Tough Arrell. Bly,.
Harry Mckenzie, Steve Guerin, Milt
HALEY. Buck sundel. Pete Skov, Bruce
Sharpe Taffy Phillips and Won Man.

played against the Los Angeles Ath-
ietic club the latter part OF November
and a game with Santa Clara univer
sity is also a possibility. The regular
club championship game with tho Bar
barians will probably be played on
Thanksgiving day.
H. L. Pomeroy, the head coach of the
Porterville Union high school, has
started work on the organization OF a
Rugby union TO include all the high
school leagues of established standing
in this state.
1t is Pomcroy's idea to establish a
central council to include one repre-
sentative from each league, and to have
this council affiliated. in some manner
yet to be determined. with the Cali
fornia Rugby union.
To such q council would be referred
all disputes over interpretation Of the
rules, which would make for absolute
uniformity OF the game; questions Of
professionalism; appointment Of corn
petent referees for interleague matches,
and. finally. the arrangement OF some
schedule whereby the coast supremacy
in Rugby could be definitely determined
each year.
1t is probable that the preliminary
work looking to such an organization
will be done through the Central Cali
ifornia league, which includes the
schools OF Kern. Tulare and Kings
counties
