SEVERAL COAST
GRID STARS TO
BE ON CARPET

PALO ALTO, Cal, Oct. IA. {U.p)-
The status of several leading college
football players hung in the balance
today awaiting a meeting of Pacific
coast conference members to decide
the definition OF q semi professional
baseball player.
The meeting will be held in Port
land tomorrow attended by repre-
sentatives of all the colleges and
universities, Prof. w. b. Owens CT
Stanford, the conference president,
said.
The question of eligibility of Joe
Lillard. University of Oregon star,
brought about the meeting. Lillard
said he received no money for play
ing baseball in Illinois but was paid
as the team chauffeur.
An exciting meeting was expected
because of the controversy over the
conference rules specifying semi pro
baseball players are Ineligible for
college football. The rules, how
ever, do not define the semi-pro.
Liberals hold that a semi-pro who
receives no definite salary can play
football Others hold that a play
er receiving money even indirectly
for playing any sport IS automati-
cally ruled cut of amateur compe-
tition

COUNTY HEALTH
OFFICER TALKS
TO LIONS CLUB

DR.. Warren F. Fox, county health
officer, was speaker of the day at
yesterdays meeting of the Lions
club, held at the Barbara Worth
hotel
tuberculosis, the chief cause Of
death in the United States, was the
topic of his address. He spoke Of
the menace of tuberculosis, of the
ease in prevention if the disease is
caught in time, and of the value in
having tests of suspects made.
DR.. Fox pointed out that X-ray
examination is often the only means
by which traces of the disease may
be detected. In this connection he
suggested establishing a central
point where suspects might be
taken for X-ray examination. At
present Imperial Valley has no ade-
quate facilities for examination.
Charts showing the death rate
were displayed and DR.. Fox stated
that the rate in Imperial Valley as
far as tuberculosis is concerned, is
somewhat lower than that for the
United States as a whole.
Estelle Livingston delighted the
club members with two excellent
piano numbers.
Charlie Burke was chairman Of
the day, and visitors we're z. s.
Elder of Riverside and Hoyt Strick-
ler, while special guests Of honor
were Sam Maggie, Ernest Sanders,
Bob Roberts and Harry Horton. The

JUNIOR COLLEGE
ELEVEN TO PLAY
BORDER ALUMNI

Facing a real test of strength
against a team known in Imperial
Valley, the FL Centro Junior Col
lege football squad today was sched-
uled for strenuous practice pre-
paratory TO a game at o'clock
Friday night on the high school
field against the CalcXico alumni
squad.
The junior college second team
this afternoon was to journey TO
Holtyille for a contest with the
high school there. Since one of
the greatest weaknesses of the local
ccllegians in the past has been
lack of substitute strength, the
game this afternoon should prove
important in that it may develop
the reserves.
The junior college this year has
the strongest team IN its history.
Three regulars who were out of the
contest with San Bernardino last
Saturday will be back in uniform
for the CaleXico alumni game.
Since this is the first contest
played by the Central collegians on
a local field this year, large
crowd is expected to witness the
clash. Another item fayoring a
lerge crowd is that the high school
team will remain inactive this weel.

COAST GRIDIRON
TEAMS ROUNDING
INTO REAL FORM
BY ALANsoN w. EDWARDS


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA. U.E
"A helter-skelter Pacific coast
football season that has seen al
most everything and proved prac-
tically nothing will settle down to
mid-altumn form next Saturday.
Preseason and intersectional
games were relegated to the back
ground as western football teams
prepared for the crucial tests
which very likely will determine
their prowess for the remainder of
1881.
Most Of the big time squads have
played conference tits already, and
the addition of California and
Stanford this week will complete
the list.
None knows for sure strong a
collection of Golden Bears has been
amassed by Sailorman Bill Ingram
But there are strong suspicious that
Orin HollinPbery's Washington State
Cougars, titlists in 1880, will give
them a good argument. In fact. it
is the general concensus that the
will be fortunate to hang up the
Union Jack when the final whistle
sounds in Portland.
But the Sailorman has no corner
on the mystery market. Glenn War
ner's Stanford Cardinals, who boast
chiefly that their goal remains un-
crossed this season, have left the
t,p
won all four of their games thus
far, including the one with Mime
sofa U. But their success is ques-
ticnable had Minnesota showed
anything above the rudiments of
football knowledge, which they did
not.
Paul Schissler will bring his Or
egon Staters to Palo Alto for the
Cards first conference game, and
they will be even heavier than the
braWny Minnesota crew. Also they
are smarting under a 300 plaster
ing handed them by University Of
Southern California, which augurs
none too we'll for Warmers men.
Trojans Strong
The Trojans, unbeaten in a con-
ference game this year and downed
only by the heroic Gaels of St
Mary'S, will meet crafty "Doc''
Spears and his Oregon University
players at Los Angeles. Headman
Howard Jones feels Oregon T.,
| Washington and Stanford are the
ones to beat this year, but he left
no doubt as to his belief in the
strength of Troy.

a great day for the Bruins and
probably a good workout for North

Doc Spears, expect to vent their

few plays for the Stanford gamc
