Gladiators Named for the Annual Football Battle Rugby Fans of Both Colors Await the Answer to the Great Query TEAMS AREEVENLY MATCHED, BUT U.C. SLIGHTLY HEAVIER 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 n, but his games have been such that he loulcl not be omitted from the tea row will find Hoskins : n Dg putting their weight ■; ; i >\v men of the i nd ■•!) the Stanford side p ait Bmitii will occupy these 4_ 13. >S'hrinpp has played in the —t Of the season, but ently he was switched to the see v and Partridge put in this The change has proved beneft to the cardinal pack.

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.

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.

Every one seemed to realize that Saturdays game would be a battle royal, but that Cali fornia had a great chance to win.
