SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6. - Presi dent Ray Wilbur, of Leland Stanford Junior University, in recent state ment put an end to any hopes that the adherents of the American intercol- legiate football at that institution may have had that the PaIo AItans would return to the national eridiron game. Dr. Wnbur's edict is that students must adhere, to the British game of Rugby or discontinue football

true in the far west, because of the
 tremendous distances thousands oi
 miles - traversed by intercollegiate teams, to play a single game. Thret
 or four such trips in a season make hole in the semester.
 Dr. Wilbur's statement in part is as follows.
 Having set standard after a care
 full survey of the past. present and
 probable future, Stanford cannot and
 will not vacillate. The soundness of this position will become increasing ly evident as time goes by.
 There has been rapid growth in the resentment felt by many univer- sity men and university faculties to- wards intercollegiate athletics, large ly, 1t seems to me, because of the ex- traneous and the by-products that go with him, professionalism, anything for victory, secret practice in football, failure to keep from interfering with the university work of players, and 70 on. American football, we'll known as a coach's game, is the greatest menace to intercollegiate athletics Those of us who believe in friendly athletic relations between neighboring universities, and in the fine spirit of emulation and in the breadth of ac. quaintance thus developed, look with much concern to the future.
 Some years ago the University of i California and Stanford, fully cogni, 1 zant of the evils of the American l game, as it had developed decided to | change to Rugby. In it they found a satisfying substitute which left noth. ! ing to be desired either in the way of | a sport or a spectacle Proper in, in this game is desirable and 1 possible, but it does not lend itself i to becoming a coach's contest. Vari Ous types of physique, strong indi- Vidual possibilities and team work all come into it. It can be played alike by boys and middle aged men"

Range: Breeds throughout the Unit

A SEVERE TEST,

"A deluge in the nature of a cloud
"'' =, '' covered zone Of territory in

nri''aih Fiat Sunday night. An excep-
tiohally heavy rain fall was exper-
'euceu throughout the valley at that
uate, ana the cloud burst. as is evil
uehced from the abnormal rush of
water that washed out roads and gul-
Iies very extensively, was an incident
ot that visitation. The local irrigation
system stood up under the crucial fest
iar beyond what could have been ex-
pected' AT the time of this miniature
ilood the fumes and bitches were
carrying water to 30 per cent capacitv.
me bitches are slightly higher than
the IlumeS, and while the excess ran
iall carried the fumes to overflowiny
IL mad no deleterious effect upon the
uitches, immunity from distraction
that could not have been expected IN
der the circumstances. A short section
ol Ilume went out at one place. b,I
that was no fault in the construction
An ordinary dry gulch even in wet
weather become torrent from the
contribution OF the cloud burst. and
the Hood swept away short section
flling the ditch for some distance with
silt. The damage was merely nominal
and speedily repaired. If the irrigation
dltch can stand up under such an
extraordinary strain and experience
as that of Sunday night it is evident
that it is going to endure under all
tests that it may be subjected to dur
ing its natural life time, and no better
proof could be desired as to the ex-
celleht character of the work done by
the contractors.
