TITLE.
HANGS IN
BALANCE
Oakland and PaIo Alto May
Play Off for Championship
on Saturday


Palo Alto and Oakland high schools
will probably play of for the high
school football championship of north
ern California. Arrangements for
such game were practically made
yesterday by j. C. Templeton, princi-
pal of the Palo Alto team. and Charles
E. Keyes. principal of the Oakland
high school. -
The date and ground on which the
game is to be played is the main bone
of contention. Each school would like
TO have the game played. in its own
locality. and there is slight hitch on
this. point, which, however, Is ex-
pected. to be Strengthened out today.
Next Saturday may be the date of the
big contest.
Palo Alto wants the game played
on the Stanford. field, while Oakland
would like to have the game played
somewhere across the bay; probably
at the State league ball park.
Palo Alto is the Portola interscho-
lastic champion team and the Aca-
demic Athletic league champion, hav-
ing defeated Lick. school last. Satur-
day for the latter title. Oakland has
defeated Berkeley and is the cham
pion team of the Bay Counties Ath-
letic league, and last Saturday won the
right to play. Palo Alto by. defeating
the Sacramento high. which is con-
sidered the. champion Team of the
valley.
