RUGBY DOOMED
ON WEST COAST.
California Universities to
Sound Death Knell Of
English Game.

New York oct cas- a leading
branch of intercollegiate sport the
same Of Rugby appears to be doomed
on the Pacific coast its only strong
hold in this country. The death kneu
of the English game on this side OF the
water was practically sounded during
the past summer when the University
Of California broke off athletic rela-
lions with Stanford university. and the
former turned back TO the American
form Of play.
The action Of these colleges came
about presumably over the question OF
admitting freshmen TO the athletic
teams Stanford held out for playing
graduates. and disinterested parties
have So far failed TO bring the colleges
together so that a RuEoy game could
be played this fall
schools Adopt American Game.
Following the action of the Uni
versity OF California many high schools
in all parts of the state and especially
in the south, have turned back TO the
American game Rugby is declared abb
solutely dead in southern California
There the University Of Southern Cali
fOruia discarded Rugby last year. and
her example has been followed BY
nearly every high school and club
team.
Stanford university stands alone as
the survivor in the attempt to main
tain Rugby. At the university the
faculty Is determined that American
football shall never be resumed Lead
ing students assert that even If the
student body demanded the American
game the authorities would not permit
it. so strong have they been prejudiced
against that style Of play
The resumption OF the American foot
ball game on the Pacific coast and the
bringing Of eastern competition TO this
territory will bind the east and west
more closely. The Pacific coast col
leges which are going back TO the
American game cannot. of course. eX-
pect to draw eastern competition the
first year OF play. but with two or
three years development. hope to be
able to furnish competition worthy of
the eastern teams.

Sir: ! am in receipt Of your letter Of
October 7th relative to hunting IL
ccnScS and written permission. 4
landlord in your county can give
written permission to any resident Of
the county to hunt upon his land
This written permit then takes the
place of the county license, and no
license is needed by the holder to
hunt upon the particular piece of
land in question, bat, of course. the
hunter would be confined entirely to
the land upon which ho had the writ
ten permission. On the other hand,
ii person has Il hunting license he
needs no written permission, but is
in position TO so ahead and hunt
Just as he always has done previous
TO the enactment OF the license law.
| may call to your attention that
any South CarOlinian not living in
OCOnCe county is required to have Il
State license in order to hunt in the
said county. and no written pcrmiS-
sion can be substituted for this IL
