SPORTSMEN
WILL MEET
THIS WEEK
EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF GAME PROTECTORS
MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS ARE
TO BE CONSIDERED
Public Invited to Open Meeting in
Chamber of Commerce Tonight.
General Program for
Three Days
The eighth annual convention of the
California Game and Fish Protective as-
sociation opens in Los Angeles at the
chamber of cemmerc* today.
Following is the program: The flrnt
business meeting will be held this after
noon at the chamber of commerce; Satur
day morning the delegates will start at
9 o'clock from the Paoiflc Electric station
at Sixth and Main streets for a trip to
Mount Lowe; this evening an open meet
ing to which the public is invited will be
held at the chamber of commerce, when
several prominent speakers will make ad
dresses, including President H. T. Payne,
Judge Rose and A. R. Orr of Vlsalla,
•who will treat on the protection of game
and flsh; Saturday evening the final busi
ness meeting will be held In the chamber
of commerce; Bunday will be given ovur
to the entertainment of the visitors.
¦ Several important questions will come
before this . convention. , Numerous dele
' gates are prepared to make a nght in
favor cf making the open season on doves
synchronous with the open season on
quail. ; Doves breed nearly all the year
round, and to allow the continual murder
of young birds, as has been the case in
the past, Is little short of criminal.
¦ President Payna yesterday afternoon In
an interview declared himself for the pas
sage of a new law making a closed sea
son on striped bass. / There was a law
once protecting striped bass, but it was
repealed about five years tgo.
Season on Shrimps
The head of the association also de
clared himself in favor of placing a closed
season on shrimp, not for the purpose of
protecting the shrimp alone, but more
for the object of saving the young flsh
which are inevitably caught with shrimp.
The Chinese and Japanese fishermen
catch and ship these young flsh to Chlnn
for fertilizer by the hundreds of thous
ands of pounds every year. President
Payne desires to re-enact the law pro
tecting shrimp, and incidentally young
fish, which was repealed three years agD.
The convention will consider the im
portation and breeding of various species
of game birds, such as the wild turkey
and the South American tlnamus, the
latter being famous both as a gams bird
and as one of the finest table birds In
the world. 1 1 is similar to the quail or
the grouse.
This will be one of the most important
conventions in the history of the associa
tion, and probably will be attended by
th« greatest number of delegates. There
are matters of weight and urgency thn.t
must be settled without delay, and Issues
of vital importance that affect the futur
ity of sport will be discussed.
One of ithe topics of great interest is
the expenditure of the fund of nearly
$100,000 per year accruing from the col
lection of hunting license fees. The
sportsmen accumulate this fund for the
state by their own volition, and it is
their right to dictate absolutely how their
money shall be spent.
Many delegates strongly advocate a
seasonal bag limit, to be placed on the
number of birds and fishes that may be
taken In any one season by one person,
this, of course, being an adltlonal re
striction to the present daily bag limit. It
Is thought that this plan will appeal to
all true sporsmen. There is already a
seasonal limit on deer, and many author
ities are clamoring vigorously for a sea
sonal limit on ducks, quail, snipe, trout
and bass.
Stop Selling Game Birds
Frank H. Mayer, who has great Influ
ence among clean sportsmen, says: "In
the name of the people of California w;
demand at the hands of our legislature,
at its next session, the enactment and
embodiment in our game law of a statu
tory clause prohibiting the sale in this
state of any game bird of any description
whatsoever, and fixing a commensurate
penalty for any violation thereof."
It appears that many of the delegates
of the association are in favor of going
clear down the line for the real protec
tion of game and fish, and with this idea
In view they are preparing to demand tho
election of a committee in the convention
for the express purpose of going before
the legislature and demanding that the
thousands of dollars being paid into the
Btat» game fund ba profitably expended
and accounted for, and to demand the
appointment of commissioners and war
dens because of special fitness and apti
tude for the positions. The convention
promises to develop a warm fight in sev
eral quarters because of the alleged po
litical policy which It is claimed has gov
erned the appointment of commissioners
and wardens up to this time.
A prominent sportsman and a member
of several organizations said yesterday:
"The laws protecting the birds In closed
season are not enforced. I know that
valley quail were shot ahead of the sea
son, but how many sooners were arrest
ed? I shall certainly take steps in this
convention to compel wardens to enforce
the laws against poachers and game hogs.
"In my opinion, and in the opinion of
thousands of clean sportsmen, the Cali
fornia game laws are crazy patch work,
and some slashing should be done by tint
legislature, and It will be done if our in
fluence can accomplish anything. It >s
a disgraceful condition of affairs when
a country presents such, a spectacle cs
now is open in this state. The cheap
sport can shoot doves during the nesting
season and deer when their horns ara
Jn velvet. He can go afield and kill quail
-which wear a long single crest but not
those with a short double one. He may
go for ducks Oct. 1, but can not shoot
phoro birds, such as ibis, curlew and
plover until Oct. 15. Why all of this
poppy-cock? Sportsmen demand open
season at the same time In the fall, at the
logical and natural time, on game such
as reed, doves and quail. Then a sports
man can get enough fun. It Is certainly
peculiar that these open seasons are so
•widely distributed. Who gets the benefit?
The game Isn't protected any better, nor
does the hunter get fuy sport. It is
only too evident that certain financial In
terests, with private axes to grind, are
responsible for the present chaotic state
of California's game laws.
"Another thing, if that $85,000 collected
for hunters' license fees is applied for
fame protection, sportsmen will feel bet
ter regarding the conduct of the state
commission. We demand that the sooner
shooting be stopped."

HIGH SCHOOL AND
U. S.C. AT OUTS
STILL DISCUSS GAME CLAIMED
BY VARSITY
Eastern Coach Says Score Should
Have Been 0 to 0, but Referee's
Ruling Was Not That
Way
Los Angeles high school and Univer
sity of Southern California are wrapped
up In a bitter row over their game played
a few weeks ago. Involving two peculiar
plays which are puzzling the wisest foot
ball fans. Several gridiron authorities
have been consulted, with the result that
they differ in opinion radically. Coach
Sorenson of Los Angeles high says that
he wrote to a celebrated eastern coach
stating the circumstances and that the
latter replied yesterday with the flat
statement that in his opinion the score
of the game should have been 0 to 0.
Los Angeles high claims the score
should huve been 2 to 1 In Its favor,
while U. S. C. claim they won the game
by 6 to 0.
Following is an exact statement of the
circumstances surrounding the two plays
which have aroused ail the trouble:
The First Play
The first play was an alleged safety.
Mitchell of Los Angeles high punted to
U. S. C. The ball was touched by a
TJ. S. C. man, who did not gain posses
sion of the oval, which bounded on over
the U. S. C. goal line, where the TJ. S. C.
man fell on it.
The Second Play
The Becond puzzling play was an alleged
touchdown. High school kicked off to
U. S. C. and the ball was caught by a
TJ. S. C. man, who returned the kick.
But the ball struck the ground and was
caught by another TJ. S. C. man before
a high school man had touched It. The
TJ. 8. C. man then ran the ball down for
a touchdown.
In regard to the second play it may be
stated that, according to the rules a man
haß a right to return a kicked ball, but
the team that kicked the ball cannot
recover It until It has been touched by
some man on the opposing team. From
this viewpoint It Is evident that instead
of being a touchdown it should have
been second down for the U. S. C. team
after it had been penalised flve yards
for being offside. It seems that Traeger,
painstaking and conscientious as he usu
ally is as referee, was mistaken.

CLARBMONT, Nov. 7.— Arrangements
are under way lor the flrst annual tennis
tournament lor girls at Pomona. The
tournament will be in the nature of a
home day, with visitors from outside
points. It Is hoped that a feature of the
day will be some sets with the Sutton
Bisters. The affair will be held two weeks
after the regular annual Invitation tour
nament for the boys, scheduled for the
aoth of this month.
Athletic enthusiasm Is now centered In
the big game with the Indians on bat
urday. The advance list of rooters for
the special is a long one and a bunch
of about two hundred, at least, wi»- ac
company the team. The lineup at tue
game will probably be the same as for
the Whittler college game. Thomas
Gore, a promising athlete of the fresh
man class, will be taken along as a line
si.ostltute with the varsity team.
The Junior men's basketball team was
defeated 6 to 33 by the sophomore team
last night. The game was one-siUed,
the upper class men not being able to
find the baskets with any great facility.
A game scheduled between the freshmen
ufld seniors was called off, as several
on the 1908 team play on the varsity foot
ball squad. It was deemed advisable to
postpone the game until after* football
season. Captain Tangeman of the Juniors
stayed out on account of the coming
fooiball game and his place was taken
by Crook.
Captain Williamson and Hayes, soph
omore forwards, played a star game.
Williamson was particularly strong in
throwing from the foul line.
Ferris, who registered this year from
Oberlin college, put up a strong game
at center on the Junior team. Benner,
Junior forward, played well. He was
responsible for four of the six points
chalked up by the Juniors.
The game was watched by a good
sized crowd of class partisans. The
freshmen Joined the Junior rooters, while
the preps In the gymnasium Joined their
voices to the sophomores. .Every play
was greeted with enthusiasm. The line

Will Issue Bids
Invitations are about to be issued for
the annual tennis tournament which has
been sot now for the 25th. The tourna
ment for a while promised to be marked
by the presence of the Sutton sisters of
Pasadena who offered to play some ex
hibition games here. As only one day is
available for the tournament and there
art but three contests it was determined
to limit the tournament to men players.
The tournament will not be limited to
school players of any nature, invitations
being issued to the best players of the
valley irrespective of their collegiate or
academic affiliations. Among the players
expected are Lacy of Pasadena, the
-.ogers brothers of Los Angeles and
other well known cracks of the courts.
The prep girls' basketball team went
down to decisive defeat Tuesday night
when they met the sophomore girls. The
score, after half an hour's play, was
-fi to 12 in favor of the sophomores.
.liss Blssel of the sophomores was the
star of the victorious team. She made
nine of the fifteen goals. The preps'
scoring was evenly divided between
Misses Humphreys and Bacon, the for
wards.
Seventeen fouls were called on the
preps and ten on the sophomores. Miss
Humphreys and Bacon, prep forwards,

JACKSONS MANAGER
GOOD PRESS AGENT
Jack Russell, Young Peter Jackson's
manager, claims to be the advertising kid,
but according to Little Lord Faimtleroy
his work is all to the sandpaper. The
toupeeless ono states that he called Rus
sell good and hard yesterday and Jack
has nothing to say in rebuttal or what
ever else they call it.
Rusßell came to town from the San
Pedro training camp yesterday and stat
ed that he did not want Eyton for ref
eree. He gave no reason for his talK,
but was emphatic In objecting to the
regular club official as the third man in
the ring when Langford and Jackson
get together.
The articles of agreement were brought
forth, and Russell was shown where he
had signed to have Ejrton as the arbiter.
Jack Immediately withdrew his objections
and the matter was hushed up.
After It was all over Lorn Fauntleroy
said that Russell was trylng'to get away
with a little free advertising, all of
which would go to help the receipts at
the meeting of the coal -dust twins Tues
day. The Lord assumed a virtuous air
while telling it, and according to his lit
tle spell such things were never thought
of around the Pacific Athletic club.
"I . told him," said the lord dramati
cally, "that we never did such things
out here, and that everything that went
must be on the level. We don't look for
advertising from such a source." All of
which goes to show that the litle one has
a short memory.
Langford and Jackson are going right
ahead for their meeting next week, and
while but little interest is being mani
fested In the contest the principals are
expecting a fair house. Some way or
other the sports fail to show the right
amount of enthusiasm over the mill, and
the Indications are that ai» who come can
be accommodated without straining th»
seating capacity of tue Naud Junction
pavilion.

The Harvard football team leaves for
Stanford this afternoon to get into, prac
tice for the game with Belmont on the
16th. The boys have been working hard

contest of season, aa Belmont Js
known to have a strong team.
The local boys are going up a we?k
early so as to become acquainted with
the Stanford grounds. The lineup will be:
Otis, left end; Heath, left tackle; New

HARVARD IS
VICTORIOUS
TRIMS U. 8. C. TEAM BY HARD
AND FAST FIGHT
Cadets Have All Best of Opening
Period, but University Men
Rally at Close of
Game
Men's basketball season at "U. S. C.
opened yesterday afternoon with a fast
contest between the Harvard Military
school flve and the sophomore class team
of the university. The game was ex
ceedingly cloße throughout and when the
whistle blew at the conclusion of the
seconu nfteen-minute period the score
stood 24-22 in favor of the cadets.
A goodly number of team supporters
were in evidence In spite of the inclem
ency of the weather, and were rewarded
with many exciting incidents.
Tho feature of the game was the field
throwing of Preston oooorne, the crack
forward of the Methodist flve, who in.
the thick of the fray threw a difficult
goal from the center of the field, the
ball landing squarely in the basket, us
bornc was formerly forward on the cham
pion Whittier college flve and was con
s.dered the best player at his position in
the Southern California league. His play-
Ing throughout the game yesterday was
of a high order, and tho scoring of the
university was largely creditable to the
accuracy of Osborne.
Richard at center also did excellent
work for the Methodists, while Wirsch
ing at guard played rings around his
opponent and had Schleber held up his
position as well the score would probably
have read differently at the close of the
game.
Harvard showed better team work and
had less tendency to foul than the col-
Kgians. Operations commenced with the
visitors making n grand spurt, which
lasted until the end of the first half,
netting the cadets eighteen points, as
against six for the varsity.
College Players Rally
In the second period the collegians
braced considerably and by rapid and
accurate goal throwing quickly annexed
six baskets from the field and four points
from foul throws. Harvard seemed to
weaken a good deal in this half and
barely prevented the stronger opponents
lrom winning out. Harvard's strength
lay in her forwards, Jones and Davids,
who displayed a good knowledge of the
game and were very fast in throwing
the baskets.
The contest yesterday marked the first
game of a series of games to be played
by the collegians. The various classes
of both the college and academy depart
ments will organize lives and a regular
tournament will be pulled off, beginning
next week. A large number of former
prep school stars are enrolled in the dif
ferent classes this year, and a strong
team will no doubt be« selected to rep
resent the varsity In the intercollegiate
contests later In the year.
Jußt what colleges will be played by
the Methodists Is not yet to be ascer
tained. Two games have been arranged
with the Quakers, the first to be played
January 29 at the university court and
the return game to be played at Whlttler
on February 7. Preston Osborne will
probably coach the varsity team in con
nection with his work with the girls'
squad, and with the nucleus of fast
players anxious to enter the game the
university should turn out a creditable
flve. Lineup:
HARVARD. U. B. C. SOPHS.

WRESTLING WILL
SOON HOLD SWAY
STUDENTS AT U, S. C. PLAN TO
HOLD TOURNEY
Organization of Club First Step, and
Then Matches W-111 Be Arranged
With Other Colleges
Here
Wreßtllng will shortly occupy the cen
ter of interest In athletic circles at the
University of Southern California, the
plan being to organize a wrestling club
and hold a tournament for the purpose
of selecting representatives to meet other
colleges for honors in the three classes of
lightweight, snlddleweight and heavy
weight.
Already Manager Hunt of the univer
sity student athletic association has en
tered Into negotiations with Whlttler col
lege, and the two institutions will meet
on the mats on the evening of Friday,
December 6, at the university gymna
sium.
This step marks an innovation in the
line of athletic endeavors among the
southern colleges and promises to attain
widespread popularity. Already a large
number of aspiring candidates have sig
nified their intention of entering the lists
and will try out for places on the teams.
Quite a number of the candidates are at
present engaged on the football squad,
but as the season will in all probability
wind up on Thanksgiving day enough
time will elapse before the Whlttier date
to give the men ample time to get in
trim for the matches.
Coach Holmes will instruct the men in
the rudiments of wrestling and with his
knowledge of the sport should turn out a
strong team. The husky coach was the
champion wrestler of the middle west the
last two years he was at Wisconsin uni
versity and Is well 'able to lead his
pupils. Just who will make the teams Is

DONOHUE IS
NOT COMING
WORD RECEIVED THAT HE HAB
BACKED OUT
Effort Being Made to Match Burns and
Kid Farmer, but the Former
Holds Out on the
Weights
There will bo no Jimmy Burns- Young
Donohue fight this month. As has bern
contended In these columns almost since
the match was talked of, Donohue never
was properly approached on the subject
of the match, and when it came right to
a show down he did not know where he
stood.
Up to yesterday the Pacific Athletic
club professed to have information to
thte effect that Donohue was on his way—
or else Just about to start. This dope
was secured by telegrams from Eddie
Keevln, supplemented by Woodman,
liangford's manager. Woodman was
probably sincere In his statements, but
Keevln was actuated by a desire to put
the match and get his "cut" for
promoting 'it from the eastern end. Yes
ter"day a wire saying that Donohue had
backed out ended all the talk of a match.
Since Donohue will not come another
opnpnent will be found for Burns, and at
ihe present time Kid Farmer Is beins
pushed to the frnnt as the logical on'i
didatc. The Kid wants to meet Burns
at 138 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of
the battle, and if Jimmy will consent the
match will be closed. If arrangements
are completed the battle will be staged
on or about Thanksgiving day.
Both men are on the ground, and no
long distance communications will be
needed to get them together. Farmer his
already stated that he would like nothing
better than a chance to fight Burns, but
Jimmy has to be shown a few things be
fore he will put Ills O IC to a set of ar
ticles.
"I don't know about this match," said
Burns last night. "The weight mentioned
will give Farmer all the best of It, and
as long as I can make the lightweight
limit I don't care much about tackllns
welters. Still, if the money is right I
will think it over."
Burns will go out to Sierra Mndre til's
morning to interview McCarey and se-?
what's stirring- In the financial line. A
percentage of the receipts or a fixed sum
no matter which way the fight terminates
might sweep away Jimmy's objections to
the welterweight division, and there is
a chance that the match will go through.
CUP WINNER TELLS
OF BALLOON PERIL
NIGHT SCENES FROM UP ABOVE
ARE MAGNIFICENT
Aeronaut Who Won the Lahm Cup
Says He Was Shot at Thirty
Times in One
Journey
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. — Oscar Erbsloh,
the German aeronaut, who won the St.
Louis balloon race by his trip from St.
Louis to Asbury Park, was tho guest
at the second day's session of the third
annual International aeronautical con
gress at the rooms of the Automobile
Club of America.
"Wa, made up our minds to go up
5000 feet," he said. "Our charts showed
railroads, but not mountains. We
¦were under the impression that by
going to a low level the people would
tell us where we were, as asked by the
newspapers.
"When we tried this, however, and
got close enough to the earth to be
understood, everybody wanted to know
where we were going before they an
swered our questions. So we were out
of hearing. before we found out where
we were.
"Thore was one woman we shouted
to, who ran in. and slammed the door
of her house. When a farmer finally
told us we were near Washington, Ohio,
we got our bearings, and afterward
managed to keep them. Our great
concern was that we might be carried
out to sea.
"One of the beautiful sights was
when we passed over Pittsburgh about
7 o'clock on the second day. The lights
twinkled far below us; there were fires
from the mills and the moving street
cars; the whole city was spread out
before us like a panorama and the
whole lighted by the beautiful moon
light.
"Another magnificent sight was the
crossing of the Alleßhany mountains
about midnight, with the moon shining
over the sleeping hamlets.
"The following morning we were
over Philadelphia. A church steeple
forced us to go higher. Then we tried
for a northernly current, hoping to
reach New York, pass over it and make
Massachusetts or Connecticut, but as
we could not we landed at Asbury."
Herr Erbsloh said he looked forward
to another trip to America, as he felt
that next year America would wrest
tho cup from Germany.
Captain Charles De F. Chandler,
winner of the Lahm cup, told a few-In
cidents of his trip, and said that he
was shot at twenty or thirty times.
A committee was appointed to ar
range a meeting 1 in this country next
year and report on affiliation and co
operation with foreign organizations.
It consists of Cortlandt F. Bishop, Wil
liam J. Hammer, August Post, Profes
sor A. Lawrence Rotch, Charles M.
Manley, O. Chanute and Albert F.
Zahm.

PICKWICKS JAKE
GAME FROM ANGELS
By Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 7.— The Pickwicks
of this city, champions of the Southern
California league, defeated the Los An
geles team, holders' of the coast pen
nant, by a score of 1 to 0 today. Score:
Los Angreles 0, hits 3, errors 6.
Pickwicks 1, hits 5, errors 1.
Batteries— Burns and Easterly, John
son and Myers.
HALL WOULD LIKE
TO CANCEL GAME
HOLMES BACKS OUT OF OFFER
OF PERCENTAGE
No Other Holiday Date Left Open for
Sherman Indians and in
All Probability Will
Play
Superintendent Hall of the Sherman
Indian school stopped in Los Angeles yes
terday on his way to San Francisco,
where he will spend a month in an en
deavor to regain his health.
' It is rumored that Superintendent Hall
is sorry that lje ever entered into an
agreement with Holmes to play the In
dians against U. S. C. on Thanksgiving
day in this city. It appears that Holmes
originally promised a big guarantee, but
tho U. S. C. coach is now trying to back
out and he wants the Indians to play for
a percentage of /he gate receipts only.
But it is picbable that the Riverside
contingent will have to go through with
their U. S. C. game Thanksgiving, as no
other college team has an open date.
Hempel plays Oregon Agricultural col
lege Thanksgiving day' in Los Angeles,
so it look's as though Superintendent Hall
was up against it.
Incidentally, Oregon Aggies play Ore
gon university tomorrow and the result
will serve as good dope on St. Vincent's
chances against the northern rubes. The
farmers are touted as fast, heavy play
ers, and if they put away O. U. it is a
safe bet that St. Vincent's won't score
very often against them.
ST. VINCENT'S TO PLAY
TWO GAMES SATURDAY
Hempel's Teams Will Meet California
and Los Angeles Military Colleges.
Sorenson Refuses to Butt in
Against Holmes
St. Vincent's second team and Los An
geles high second team will not play
Saturday, as was scheduled early in the
week.
Coach Sorenson of the high school
learned that U. S. C. will play Whlttler
tomorrow and that the latter will bo tho
only big game in Los Angeles on that
date. Sorenson said last night that it
was for this reason that he called off
his game against St. Vincent's.
Cci:ch Walter Hempel of St. Vincent's
is aore and claims that Sorenson's action
puts the college in a bad position, as his
team -as made all the preparations for
Saturday's game.
But Sorenson is right, nevertheless.
The high school coach is square, and has
shown it clear through. Soronson has
never played favorites between the big
ger teams. It is remembered by football
fans that Sorenson turned down Coach
Holmes of U. S. C. dead cold when he
approached the Los Angeles high coach
and Captain Stan Mitchell in an effort
to Injure Hempel. Holmes wanted the
High school to play U. S. C. on the same
day that St. Vincent's played Utah, so
as to spoil Hempel's fun by a counter
attraetlon. Sorenson saw through
Holmes' game and refused to enter Into
any such questionable methods. Now
Hempel evidently tried to get Sorenson
to do the same thing against Holmes,
and Sorenson refused.
It is certainly relieving to at last find
a coach in local athletics who is manly
enough to play a .straight, clean game.
There has been too much nasty work
all around in Los Angeles and the man
agers ought to wake up to the fact that
they are not only hurting the schools
but queering their own game as well.
This business of wrecked schedules
ought to be ended by the authorities.
Holmes first started the row by refus
ing to meet St. Vincent's, and then, after
the college had hammered Denver, he
turned around and asked St. Vincent's
to play U. S. C.
As long as Holmes and Hempel con
dnue this personal bickering, so long
will St. Vincent's and U.. S. C. suffer.
Some people never know when, they have
had enough".
Hempel is particularly sore over Soren
son's refusal to come through with th»
).os Angeles high game Saturday be
cause he had planned a treat for all the
grammar school kids in the city by hav
ing printed 5000 complimentary tickets
and having them sent to all the schools
for free distribution.
Hempel is going down the line with his
game Saturday, however, and has ar
ranged in lieu of Los Angeles high to
take on a double. St. Vincent's second
team will play against California Mili
tary college and the St. Vincent's juniors
will play against the Los Angeles Mili
tary college '
It Is hard to see any sense in Hempel s
retaliation. He has gotten everything he
went titter this season in football anrt
it seems that he should be satisfied with
his present outlook of the Sherman In
dian game November 16 and the Oregon
game Thanksgiving without going out of
his way to keep up the old feud with
Holmes, who certainly has gotten the
worst of tho fight so far and has had
to swallow several bitter doses.
SHERMAN SHOULD WIN IN
GAME WITH POMONA TEAM
As far as dope goes the Sherman Indiana
should beat Ponoma in their game at
Riverside tomorrow.
The redskins have had a weeks hard
practice knee their defeat at the hands
of Occidental, and Coach Sholder. who
will also play end, reports that his men
are in prime condition.
Sherman started the present season with
a poor team, but the return to school of
such old, fast players as Boles, Craw
'ord Coleman, tackle; Lugo, tackle; Lubo.
tackle; Heury Coleman, center; Magee.
full' Charles Coleman, end; Sholder, end,
and Bullock, quarter, promises to not only
beat Pomona but even give the Indiana
a good chance to play St. Vincent's to a
standstill.
MAN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION

man wanted, but after a thorough exam
ination It was discovered that the wrong
man had been taken in charge. The

At the last regular meeting of the board

was not sufficient to cover the price of
any of the cars which the sheriff had
been considering. He refused to take ad

Yesterday the board came around and
raised tho fund to tho price required
