California's Advantage in "Beef,**
However, Is Not Enough
to Upset Balance
Only One Sensational Surprise
Sprung — ln Placing Evans
as V. C. Fullback
WILLIAM UNMACK
The coaches at California and Stan
ford universities yesterday set the
minds of the men on the respective
squads at rest as to who would take
the field in the big , game tomorrow
. .fHcially announcing the personnel
of the teams.
There Is perhaps only one surprise
of magnitude, viz: the placing of Evans
of California in the fullback position.
The choice does not appear quite log
ical, and rumors were heard yester
day when the lineup was announced
that it would be no surprise if he
should fail to ko into this position
in Saturday's game, or that if he
should go in he probably would be re
placed.
Evans never has had experience as
a fullback, and it does not seem pos
sible that the coaches will take such
chances at the eleventh hour. As a
three-quarters he has shown to great
advantage, and last year he scored two
tries for the blue and gold as a wing
man. There are times when Evans is
not sure at fielding the ball or taking
high punts, so if he is used as fullback
it is plain that the blue and gold is
going to take chances.
The playing of Peart in the full posi
tion last year was compulsory, and it
lost the team the services of his bril
liant attacking capabilities. It is no
Ibt the intention of the coaches to
use Peart on the three-quarters line
tomorrow if possible. Young Bogardus
la ft handy lad as fullback, but has
been passed up in place of Evans—at
least temporarily.
VI \>, FORD SELECTION
This is the sensational part of the
selection ot the teams. Down at Stan-
I there has been nothing so sensa
tional sprung:, though the placing of
~ T'rban on the three-quarters line has
\ given cardinal fans something to talk
about. The wing three-quarters posi
tion was a three cornered fight between
Urban. Thoburn and Reeves. ,
Ueeves has not yet recovered from
severe kick he received in the
game against the Australians, so the
hing committee did not like to
take any chances with him. Thoburn
: pie, having a bad leg that
I fieiirsst his final selection.
srarprtee lias : be*n
1 at Stanford through the choice
i'arsie as breakaway in place of Al
Frank. The latter is still on the in
jured list and will be unable to get
Into the game.
The selection of Xoble as the right
wir.g at Stanford was a foregone con
t'- ] there is not a man better
mited fnr the position. He is one of
the hardest tacklers on the cardinal
f<l uad, and is safe as the rock of
Gibraltar in taking his man. He will
oppose Dills of California, who will
v on the left or scoring wing for
the blue and gold.
DII-LS \O SPRING CHFCKEX
Dills is a fast and tricky player and
JVoble will have his work cut out to
mark him. Dills has made a great
showing in the preliminary games this
reason. He is no newcomer on the
varsity lineup, having gone into the
game in 1910 on California field.
in the center three-quarters there are
two crackerjacks, Allen of California
!f playing his fourth game in a var-
Eity contest. He is an opportunist of
first grade and his wonderful
playing at center in the last game with
Amos Elliott on the five-eighths line is
Ptill fresh in the minds of the Rugby
fans. As a center, which position he
played in the last game, he is one of
best men on the coast. He is fast
on his feet, runs straight and draws
his wings well. His swerving runs are
always the feature of the games he
piays in.
Geerge Kern, like Allen, is an op
portunist. He is always in the right
place when needed and is one of Stan
ford's best men at intercepting passes
and breaking up the opposition back
field play.
THE FIVE-EIGHTH JOBS
The five-eighth places will be occu
pied by Risling and Harrigan for Stan
ford and by Captain Stroud and Hazel
tine for California. Rialing and
Harrigan have played a consistent
game all through the season, and their
selection was conceded by the follow
(>t Stanford for some time past.
■>ud played the same position for
* Jifornia last year, and Hazeltine is
making his first appearance in a big
gime.
The forwards of both teams are a
fast, heavy bunch. Hall, Sanborn and
hett form the front row for the
cardinal, and they will be opposed by
three first class hookers in Douglas,
M. Kirn and Miller. The last is a fre^h

that he loulcl not be omitted from the

more than the backs that the extra
weight will be felt.
The California forwards average
pounds per man, while the Stan
ford average is 174% pounds. This will
mean that California will have a gross
weight of 20 pounds better than Stan
ford. This weight is not of very great
advantage, and from all appearances
the scrums will be pVetty evenly
matched in the matter of beef.
In the back field California has a far
greater advantage in weight, having
about 81 X ,4 pounds per man more than
Stanford. Weight is an asset in the
scrum men. but with the back field it
is of very little importance.
Summing up the teams on their
weight, it can therefore be seen that '
what difference there is is so slight
that it can be said the teams are evenly
matched. Now it remains to be seen
just how nearly matched they are in
regard to knowledge of the game, put
ting this knowledge into practical use
when pitted against each other, and
display of fighting ability. AH this
will have to be proved tomorrow, and
22,500 people will anxiously watch for
the answer.
No Chances Taken as
To Ticket Speculators
The graduate managers of California
and Stanford universities yesterday de
cided that no chances would be taken
with ticket speculators, by selling the
pasteboards at the Southern Pacific and
Key Route windows. The only places
where standing room tickets can be
obtained tomorrow will be outside the
California field playing area. These
tickets will be put on sale at 12 o'clock
and only two will be sold to each patron.
The ticket booths will be located at Col
lege avenue and Bancroft way and at
Barrows avenue and Bancroft. Only a
limited number of tickets have been
issued, and the gates will be opened as
soon as the pasteboards are put on sale.
S.F. Scrapper Still Sure
He Can Best Sailor
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
VALLEJO, Nov. 7.—Walter Coffey and
his corps of trainers left this afternoon
for Santa Rosa. Coffey stated before
leaving that he still believed he could
defeat Sailor Grande and as soon as his
left arm was in shape he would like
nothing better than a return match.
He also said that he would have liked
to continue the scrap last night, but on
account of his injury it was a physical
impossibility after the third round.

PRESLEY CAUTIONS
CARDINAL PLAYERS
Coach, Speaker at Big Rally, Is
Alive to Stardiness of
U. C. Fifteen
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
STANFOftD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 7.—
Twenty minutes of continued, spon
taneous cheering greeted the 1912 var
sity football team at the big football
rally held in the assembly hall this
evening. After the yell leaders had
succeeded in quieting the enthusiastic
undergraduates a few varsity yells
were given and then the speakers were
called on. The men to address the
rally were Prof. F. C. Woodward,
Prof. D. M. Folsom, "L«aup" Laumeister,
a former student body president;
Trainer H. W. Maloney and Coach
George J. Presley.
The consensus of the speakers' opin
ions was that the team would have to
fight to the last ditch to win, but that
the cardinal wouM be returned vic
torious, as the 191- fifteen is in better
physical condition than for years.
Coach Presley made the longest!
speech he ever delivered at a rally. He
said in part:
"Throughout the entire season the
team has heard poor reports from
California, intended to cause over
confidence among the cardinal players.
Fortunately, the men have had the
goo.] sense to take the reports at their
full worth. They know'what they are
!up against. The Berkeley fifteen's de
fense can't be beaten, and they are
not what would be termed a weak
scoring team.
"We ask of the rooters to stick be
hind the team until the final whistle."
After the rally in the assembly hall
the students serpentined to the Inner
quad and the soccer football field,
where a big bonfire blazed.

U.C. ROOTERS GIVE
TEAM GREAT RALLY
No Overconfidence at California,
But Students Feet Sure
of an Even Break ,
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
BERKELEY, Nov. 7.—The California
varsity was given Its final sendoff by
the blue and gold rooters at the
smoker rally held this evening in Har
mon gymnasium. .The building: was
crowded to overflowing with student*
and alumni, and their cheers and root
ing almost made it rock upon its foun
dations.
Coach Jimmie Schaeffer said of the
team that they were ready for the
game of their lives. Assistant Coach
Cerf spoke in the same strain. Trainer
Volz said that the men were in fit con
dition, and that those who had been
injured had all recovered.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler and
John R. Glasscock of the class of 1865
were the other speakers. In addition
there were a number of musical num
bers.
The spirit of the California student
body, as shown at the rally, was one
of confidence in their team. Every one
seemed to realize that Saturdays game
would be a battle royal, but that Cali
fornia had a great chance to win.
The fact that Stanford has 13 vet
erans was fully appreciated, but the
