 Liner Glasses.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3t.-An i'm pressive array of eastern football coaching talent will be on view when the University of California football candidates make their initial appear ance on the gridiron. The Californians are determined to get back into the American game as quickly as possible and in order to achieve this no ex- pense has been spared in employing the best available instructors.
 Head Coach Andy Smith, of the Uni Versity of Pennsylvania, will be in supreme command of the coaching staff. His assistant will be Eddie Mahan, the famous Harvard star. and Robert Vaughan, an all-American se- lection who played with Princeton. The average college would consider any one Of these men as sufficient, but California is under the necessity of unlearning Rugby as well as learn ing the American game. and when these two things are accomplished, the coaching staff would be reduced to normal
 Tomorrow is the date set for the first day of practice. and present in- dications are that more than 250 men will report. Class games, designed to develop material, will be a feature of the season. According to the present plan, the varsity squad will be re, duced to fifty men as soon as practi- cable. The remaining men will then be made up into class teams. A sche- dule of games will be made up and there will be regular competition. Men who are selected for the varsity squad will not be eligible for the class teams.
 California will start the season with only three of its last season veterans missing These men are Captain Can field, Saunders Ctacklel, and Hazel tine (endD.
 With the advent Of Mahan, who will have charge of the back field, it is expected that California will start ir at once and practice it's plays from kick formation, which tend for an oper game.

According to the California state fish and game commission, the pres ent hunting laws will permit of a steady increase of deer throughout the state. providing these laws are ob- served. and the animals are not slaughtered out of season. This in crease will keep pace with the in crease in population and the conse- quent growth in the number of hunt CTS.
 To insure this condition which will result in good deer hunting" the commission asks the cooperation of the people, Some idea of the range over which these wild creatures roam is given in the following facts:
 California has a thousand peaks over 10000 feet high. and 136 over 13,000 feet in height. There will remain 50,- DOC acres of government land, 26,000.- O00 acres in the national forest re- serves into which sportsmen and campers are welcomed by the govern ment employees as long as they ob- serve the fish and game regulations. This immense area of free hunting, fishing and camping grounds is large ly augmented by the liberality of the farmers and range owners, who will rarely object to the use of their raw land if the proprieties are observed.
 The great increase in deer is entire ly due to the laws that, first, prohibit the sale of deer hides and meat; sec ond, the killing of does; third. the right and short season; fourth, the limit; fifth. the protection of spike" bucks. The protection of spike bucks does not only help to increase the deer, but it compels the hunter to wait until he is sure that the moving object is a deer with horns, thereby saving human life When the law per mitted the killing of does, many hunt cts were killed by careless shooters. Now he must wait until he sees the horns.
