FIRST OF THE BIG FOOTBALL GAMES OF THE SEASON.
WITH weekly jumps ihe football
season is rapidly aproaching its
climax, the Thanksgiving game,
that great contest when collegians
Bight of everything else on earth.
This afternoon there will be an Intercol
legiate Struggle on the gridiron, but It
■will be confined to the freshmen classes.
The first football game between the
freshmen Of the universities wrjj played
in the <arly part of December, 1894, and
was a California victory. Since that time |
the games have gone from one side to the
other, the result being, usually. Just what
was not anticipated. The absolute uncer
tainty Of all freshmen games has been
th.jr chief feature and thHr most inter
i silng aspect. Two years ago the blue
and gold was on the books to win with
out the peradventuxe of a doubt. The re
bappened, and In such a way as to
bring untold chagrin to California and ln
effable Joy to Stanford. The cardinal
youngsters piled up a score that was sim
ply terrifying to the losers. Last year
rd was picked as the winner, but
the master hand of Cochran was back of
Hi" I'alifornia freshmen, and they played
;. game that was a surprise, not only to
their opponents but to California also.
For t hi- first time since the Inception of
freshman games on this coast team work
was displayed.
Judging "from form this year, the con
test to-day should be a cardinal victory.
Much enthusiasm has been displayed
QUAIL WILL SOON
DRAW THE GUNMEN
OUT TO THE FIELD
Country Cluh Men and Others
Prepare Against the Open-
Ing of the Season,
The gunmen will scum have their choice
of quail or duck shooting, the season for
the former game birds opening in the ma
jority of counties near here on Wednes
day next. Birds are said to be numerous
and more fully matured than at the open
ing of last season. They have been bet
ter protected. The best of the sport is
looked for in Marin County and other
places to the northwest.
The members of the Country Club have
royal sport in prospect for their nrst day
in the fieldJ Secretary Faymonville drove
over a portion of the club's preserves In
Marin County recently and Is authority
for the statement that birds will be found
there In abundance. The weather cona
tions have been favorable for the raising
of large broods of birds and they all look
fat and healthy. The club lias a number
of enthusiastic quail shots, who always
look forward in anticipation of good sport -
In the field. Among those who will prob
ably be out on Wednesday are: President
Mullins, Hermann Oelrlchs, F. w. Tallaht,
Fred Webster, Dr. Vowlnckel, Dr. del
Marvllle, F. W. Van Sicklen, J. Leroy !
Nickel, the brothers Tubbs and others.
They will leave on Tuesday evening in
their special car and will be in the tield
early on Wednesday.
The conditions remain unfavorable for
ducks and poor bags are still the rule.
When winter sets In in earnest the best
shooting enjoyed in years is expected.
There were few birds near Alvarado last
Sunday and small bags fell to the men
who tried the shooting.
The nominating committee of the Olym
pic Gun Club, elected last Wednesday
evening, is canvassing the material avail
able for the new board of officers. Ef
forts will be made to give all interests in
the club t epresentatlon. Some men like
duck shooting; others prefer deer or
quail,. while .still another branch prefers
the sport to be obtained at the traps.
The desire is to bring these together on
common ground and thus insure the con
tinued growth of the club. H. H. White,
L. D. Owens and A. A. Borllnl, who have '<
done yeoman duty for the club since its !
organization, are not candidates for re
election. They will turn control of the
club over to the new officers with every- :
thing in excellent condition. It is ex
pected the new directors will be chosen
from among the following: M. C. Allen,
George Walker, F. B. Surryhne Dr. --*..
T. Derby. W. A. Marshall, R. H. Dela- t
tleld, J. Homer Fritch, \V. D. McArthur
Dr. S. E. Knowles. A. M. Shields, A. Ai.
Cummings, F. Y. Bell and C. 1-. Miller.
The election, will be held November 8
and it Is not expected an opposition ticket
will be placed In the Held. •
The members of the club had fair i
sport last Sunday. Those at the Cor
delia preserve all agree, that birds were !
plentiful but hard to hit. The heavy rain
of the previous week had apparently
scattered the flocks and the birds were
Hying about high in the air. Of the I
Olympics Marshall secured 9; George
Walker and H. F. Rose 8 each; W. D. I
McArthur, 7; S. W. Costello. 5; W. F.
Foster and Titus 3. On Wednesday Al
dimming, 11. B. Hosmer, R. H. Dela
fleld and Theo Kytka were out and en
joyed good shooting.
Achille Roos was at the San Pablo
Sporting Club's preserve last Sunday,
but did not lire a shot. A $2500 levee, re- '
cently built by the members, broke !
owing to the pressure of water which
fell during the storm of the previous
week.
L, V. Merle has grown weary of pur
chasing ducks at so much per dozen and j
is preparing to shoot what he wants for j
his own use and for his friends. Under
the mentorship of "Jim" Markland he
will make his first attack on the feath
ered game next week.
Colonel R. H. Eddy of Montana Is en
joying the shooting over the Teal Club
preserve.
K. Wenzell shot at Mowrles, near Al
viso, last Sunday and secured a bag of
ten birds. "Billy" Schendel secured
twenty, while Charles Cate bagged a
tine lot of English snipe.
A. M. Shields had fair sport at the
Pringle Gun Club's preserve, near Suisun.
The Ibis and Teal Club men had no
shooting.
Frank Maskey will, open the quail sea
son in Marin County on Wednesday.

throughout the season by the Stanford i
colts and they have worked harmoniously |
with one end in view. Long before Cham- i
berlln arrived the Stanford freshmen j
organized and were playing the represen
tative elevens of the praparatory schools.
Thpir record has been pretty much of an
unbroken neries of victories, and they feel
confident that to-day's culminating bat- j
tie will not be a disappointment.
Conditions at the University of Califor
nia have been slightly different. The ma- I
terial was none of the best and the inter- j
est none too keen. Cochran, while willing ;
| to devot* as much time as could be safely
bestowed upon the freshmen, was averse
to a sacrifice of the university eleven for !
this minor representative team. As soon i
as the freshmen came together and be- ',
gan work in earnest Cochran was there, j
and a great improvement has been
wrought in their playing. The team has
lined up every day during the week on
the campus, facing the strong representa
tive eleven of the university. Cochran
and Kelly, behind the youngsters,
."teamed and perspired as they poured
football wisdom into their willing ears.
Of course, the freshmen of California are
as confident of victory us their Stanford
rivals. At any rate the team is in fine
physical condition, and will do its best
against the cardinal, whose season record
is quite a glowing one for freshmen.
The Stanford eleven will be (he
heavier of the two. Another advantage
the cardinal team possesses is organiza
tion. The eleven has been practically
playing as a team for several weeks
while it is not certain who will make up
the California eleven. The line-up of
Stanford will be us indicated; that of Cal

SAN FRANCISCO AND
SANTA CRUZ AT PLAY
Hot Struggle for First and Third
Places hu the League
Teams.
For several weeks the San Francisco
baseball team has been threatening to
oust the Sacramentos from first place, but
while they have menaced the leaders, \
their struggles have been almost in vain. ,
They have crawled up to the heels of
Kripp's aggregation, but seem to be able
to get no farther. They had a chance to
move up a peg last week and might have ;
done so if a rainstorm had not worked |
against them, a circumstance which i
prompted Uncle Henry to remark that
even the elements seemed to be against I
him. The local team is scheduled for
five straight with Santa Cruz, and
though the Crabs have been strengthened!
by the acquisition of McCarthy and by ,
the discovery of Babbitt's ability to pitch, !
yet the Fliscos seem to feel they have a
better chance of winning a majority of
the series than the Sacramentos have of
defeating the Dudes.
An interesting feature of the series be- |
tween San Francisco and Santa Cruz at j
Recreation Park this week will be the !
reappearance of "Jack" Sheridan as the
autocrat of the diamond. He was a great
favorite in the days of the old Haight
street grounds. Sheridan Is the only man
whose decisions were always accepted
without question by the local fans. Fol
lowing is the line-up for to-day:

In the preliminaries "Kid" Johnson will

The club will promote a field day and

The fact that the freshmen will battle
for championship honors has not de
tracted a particle of interest in the work
of the big elevens. The week has brought
its usual quantum of improvement to the
Stanford team and not much for Cailfor
nia. Chamberlin has about settled upon
the likely candidates, though they are
not yet placed in positions. In another
week it is expected the Stanford eleven
will be organized and then the few weeks
remaining before the intercollegiate con
test will be utilized for team work. At
California Cochran and Kelly have been
engaged in hammering the big eleven
against the freshmen. So far there have
been no changes in the blue and gold
eleven, though the coaches affirm that the
team Is by no means formed and will not
be for some weeks. Whipple is recover
ing rapidly from his strained shoulder
and will be ready for active work within
a week.
The Olympic team has been resting on
its laurels of tie games, still hopeful of a
victory. On Saturday net they will meet
California, and if all the protestations in
which the Olympians indulge mean any
thing they will present a stronger front
LIGHTER AND FASTER
SKIFFS RECOMMENDED
Rowing Commissioner Hlnch
man Will Suggest Challenge
Cups for Championships.
That the recent championship regatta
at Xl Campo did not attract a larger
number of spectators is to be attributed
to the fact that it was not so extensively
advertised as former rowing events have
been and also partly to the fact that there
are now In the board of managers of the
Pacific Association several new members,
who are not yet entirely familiar with the
work of getting up regatta.s. Though the
regatta was not a financial success, the
successful contestants will receive their
prizes. j n only one event, the junior out
rigged skiff race, in which n.ere were four
contestants, will a second prize be called
for. it Is possible that at future regattas
there will 1... no Intermediate barge race.
It is an event that may well be dropped,
for it attracts few or no entries and ex
cites little interest.
At the last meeting of the Alameda
Boating Club, Al Rogers, the boat
builder, was present and considerable dis
cussion . Dsued regarding the proposed
changes in the out rigged skiff. It was de
cided that the Alameda dub would rec
ommend the standard length as I'l'^ feet
the beam being left to the discretion of
the builder. The craft is to be open and
to have at least three laps nearly equal In
width. The skiff at present in use has six
laps; the proposed boat might have a
smooth bottom if the three laps were
placed above the water-line. It was ar
gued in favor of the outrigge.d skiff that
it has been the means of bringing out
many new scullers, who would not have
ventured out in a shell, it is also said
that the shell | s not a practical boat for
ordinary oarsmen, as it is too fragile, and
clubs are chary of letting it be used by
Inexperienced men. The proposed boat
would be substantial, easily handled by
one man and suitable fur the use of be
ginners If a boat of greater length is de
sired, there is the wherry, which is 23 feet
long, while the shell i* .-50 feet in length.
Rogers believes the laps do not retard the
speed of the boat, except at the turn
and there very slightly. To some extent
they counteract rolling.
The Alameda club is strongly In favor
of having three del, gates from" each row
ng club on the regatta committee, be
lieving that the work would be better
done and the interests „f oarsmen better
served than by one representative. W B
Hinchman, in his first report as Rowing
Commissioner, will suggest that each club
in the association should contribute some
small sum each month toward a fund for
the purchase of challenge cups, which
would be held by the clubs from which
the winning crews came.
The Pioneer Rowing Club will hold a

row afternoon. In the morning there will
be an exhibition race between the Ariel
junior barge crew and the senior four of

ON STANFORD FIELD.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. 27.—
The Stanford football squad has received
no special attention from the coaches dur
ing the past week, as the time of the lat
ter has been spent in putting the final
touches upon the freshman team in an
ticipation of to-morrow's game. Several
of the men have been laid off until next
week on account of overwork. One of
these is "Babe" Burnett, who has not yet
reached condition since his return from
the Philippines. Hayden at center has
also been confined to the side lines be
cause of a wrenched knee. Gilman has
returned to the field after only partially
recovering from a sprained ankle received
in one or the early practice games.
Meantime some of the second eleven
men have been given a chance on the big
team, lining up against the freshman
team In these practices Huston and

line Ihe condition back of the line has
failed of any perceptible improvement.
So far only men of mediocre ability have
been tried in these positions, and it be
comes evident day by day that the fresh
man team must come to the rescue. Jost,
who made such a close race for half on
the team two years ago, has not yet had
an opportunity to prove that he retains

THE GREENWOOD TREE
Members of the Big Athletic
Club Will Gather To-Mor-
row in Marin County,
Over at ISscalles, in the country beyond
Bausalito, the men of the Olympic Club
will gather to-morrow In one of the most
notable outings ever planned for the mem
bers. It is proposed to bring together the
members interested in the various branches
of the sport where they may meet
on common ground and become acquaint
ed one with another. There will be no
party lines of cyclers, gymnasts, golfers,
tennis-players, swimmers, but all will be
of one big family.
Captain George James, J. W. Coffroth,
John Cunningham, Fred Butz and others
have been planning features for the out
ing for weeks past. In addition to all
manner of outdoor sport the talented
members of the club will take part in a
vaudeville entertainment. The singers
who have appeared behind the footlights
in the burnt cork and other adjuncts of
the minstrel on many occasions will be
present with their sweetest songs and
with stories guaranteed free from any
llavnr of the chestnut.
There are a number of boats available
to-morrow morning by way of Sausalito
ferry for those who wish to make merry
with the sturdy Olympians on this their
first big outing.
FISHING ON EEL RIVER.
Frank Maskey and Fred Leea have re
turned from the E<>l River country afver
six weeks' iishing and shooting. Mr. Mas
key brought back nine barrels of steelheads
which were preserved for distribution
among his friends. Mrs. Maskey devel
oped unexpected skill with the rod, being
;i Knod second to her husband. She
wound up one morning's fishing by land-
Ing an 11-pound steelhead. With this rec
ord Mrs. M&skey believes she has passed
the novice Mage and the next time she
whips a stream for trout she will have
the best rod and tackle to be had. '.The tish
ing improved day by day while they re
mained at the river. The Quinnat salmon
took the fly readily and a number ol 3
pounders were caught.
A story, not told by Mr. Maskey, comes
down from the north and shows how good
a sportsman that gentleman is. On the
way to Eel River he shot a buck and
shortly afterward three more crossed nis
path. A companion pointed them out to
him, but he declined to try his skill on
them. "Too easy," he replied, and then
mlded. "We have sufficient to supply our
table; leave those for the next who comes
this way."
H. M. [.amlesnerger is credited with one
of the sensational catches of the year.
On his first morning at Eel River he laud
ed with a fly five steelheads averaging
seven pounds in weight. The smallest
weighed four and a half pounds and the
largest nine and a half.
The striped bass have found their way
up to Rodeo, a number weighing from
nine to twelve pounds being secured by
persons from this city recently.
Steelheads averaging from one to three
pounds are being caught near i'escadero
and San Gregorio.

situation is in no way gloomy, for there is

positions, if there are any more promibing

that the men are well advanced consider

CYCLERS PREPARED
FOR THE CLASSIC
RACE OF THE YEAR
Representative Entry for the
Autumn Handicap of
the C. A. C. C,
The annual ten-mile handicap road race
of the California Associated Cycling
Clubs will be held to-morrow forenoon
over the straightaway course from High
street, Fruitvale, to Haywards. The race
was postponed once, a fortnight ago,
owing to the rain, but the road is said
to be in excellent condition.
There are fifty-six entrants this year,
over one-half of whom have never here
tofore competed in a road event, and the
official handicapper of the association has
been totally at sea as to what time allot
ment to give these men. He has had to
depend upon hearsay entirely, and if he
has been misled in this respect the win
ner may turn up in some dark horse.
Otherwise the men should finish in
bunches, and the scratch men are just as
likely to be in the lead as any of the limit
men. The race will start from Fruitvale
promptly at 11 o'clock, and the riders,
officials and spectators will go over on
the 9 o'clock boat. Club feeling runs
strongly at these association events, and
If the finish is at all spectacular there is
liable to be a good deal of enthusiasm.
The following are the entrants, with their
handicaps:

ARE TO RECEIVE
TEMPTING PURSES
Three Parks Offering Valuable
Stakes for Greyhounds of
All Ages,
The three coursing parks in this dis

the tidbit of the card will be the meeting
of Curtis & Son's Cash and N. P. Whit-
Ing's Minneola, in the final of the inau
gural stake. This could not be decided
last week as darkness settled down upon
the field before the dogs were ready to
run. They will meet immediately after
luncheon to-morrow afternoon. A puppy
stake and an open stake complete the
card.
At ("nion Park some high class saplings
will be run as a curtain-raiser to the open.
stake. The latter has attracted some of
the best of the local dogs and promises
excellent sport.
The men of Ingleside Park have not
been saying much this week, but they
offer a great stake to their followers.
Connemara divides honors with McEn
roe's Australian dogs and those represent
ing the kenneis of T. J. Cronin, U. Shan
non, T. J. McHugh, H. A. Deckelman
and other well-known supporters of the
park.
At the conclusion of the American
Waterloo meeting at Dallas, Texas, offi

but will be bred to Emm Pasha.
"Judge" P. J. Rellly's imported dog
Plow Boy, which was just rounding into
form, is on the retired list for the present.
He has an abscess on the jaw and in con
sequence will be thrown out of training.
He ran last week at San Mateo Park and
his handlers could not open nis mouth,
the cords and muscles being so badly
affected. He has shown himself to be a
great dog and his owner has the sym
pathies of his friends over this setback
at a time when he gave promise of doing
| good work.
Curtis & Son's have two beautiful Sky
: rocket- Vanity Fair youngsters in the
sapling stake at Union Park to-day. One
is a black and white and the other a
I brindle and white. "Charley" Griswold,
I superintendent of Union Park, tried them
out last Monday and they performed,
splendidly.

J. Horn's Bona puppies are also on the
sick list.

' owner is anxious to see them perform in
competition.

being given light work in anticipation of
being entered shortly at one of the local
parks. His dog "Victor King, illustrated

form, but has been unfortunate in get
