.-'" After an Interchange of ideas in the
different cities Mr. Lanagan had
visited in- Australia, and which are so
'well known to me, I asked him the fol
'. lowing question:
"You have seen some of the best
teams of the world play, what
is your opinion of Rugby as "compared
'\u25a0to the American game?"
•"From many points of view," replied
"Lanagan. "Rugby is far superior to
• bur game and better adapted for our
" colleges. That is. I mean comparing
• Rugby with the\>r«>sen't state of Amer
ican football. Again, Rugby gives the
;\.'individual more of a chance than, the
\u25a0•.old game, as each man has to use his
: .:Own head and think and act quickly.
"In the games I witnessed I was sur
v prised at the agility and quickness of
°-/Ah« players. In one branch of Rugby.
••;• however, we are far superior to the
,/nagb'y players of the South seas — in
".tackling. That Is, of course, to our
/•\u25a0benefit. I think if the Australian and
•."New. Zealand players were to practice
'.'. taukling with a dummy as we do they
:\u25a0 -would find a big difference in their
I'P'ay in this particular department of
•the game.",
" The next question I asked Lanagan
.was in reference to the packing of
tlio scrums.
.' ' "Throughout Australia the- ficrum.s
'.pack up three, two, three, with no
.-wing man," said Lanagan. "The New
•\<2<- - a landers pack up two, three, two
..•and a wing. Both combinations have
•\u25a0 iiieir advantages. It would be awk
'..svard for the Australians 10 pack up
.--.-two, three, two, as they are used to the
ptlier system. The same applies to
:. New Zealand. l
i.v Taking everything into considera
:.\u25a0 frfr; . I really think the New Zealand
of two. three, two is the best
•.JirTd most serviceable, and we will in
""\u25a0ali probability play that^ system at
'•"\u25a0"Stanford."
:< \u25a0 •'•'"What is your opinion of rule 11,
','\u25a0*\u25a0> vtion B?"
" : ."- ;"Tliat is tne iriest rule in the Rugby j
.•%ouc. and this y«ar we do not intend j

\u25a0\u25a0;.-: Australia ai:d New Zealand, of]
'.v<'jU!He. ii:e;c are quite a few scrums''
si. a. g-amc. hut not ,a quarter of the |
'aumler we had. This Is cirtctiy due
to llislruls you liavi- quoted, and iilso
to sections <l and D. When a ir.an is
tackled in Australasia, if he cannot j
jc:ss the ball, he immediately drops it j
:i'id plays it with his foo.t. If on the
other hand a player is tackled and
falls on the ball it is the tackler's
place to let his opponent rise and play I
the. ball. The ball cannot be picked
up again until' it lias been played with
the foot. For any infringement -of
these rules a "free kick' must be
awarded against the transgressor.
Tiiepe points are covered in rule 11,
sections B, C and D. and without a
jj»jb£ they open up the game and
n}^ '<\u25a0:•? Rugby what it is today."
'\u25a0"What is your opinion of the teams
that represented New Zealand and the j
different states of Australia?" |
"Without a doubt the New Zealand
ers are the champions of the world at
Rugby, but the New i?outh Wales and
Queensland teams certainly make them
play from start to finish.
:'• "The New Zealand backs are prac
.trcally invincible, but the forwards met
'.-their match on more than one occasion.
"In the game that New South Wales beat
••the 'All Blacks,' the game was prac
jiically won by the forwards. The
= : Queensland back combination is very
"pxior this year as a whole, but Individ*
.""'uiilly there are some fine players. The
Jvew Zealand players tell me they never
liave any trouble with the Queensland
backs^ for as a general rule they
are forced out of touch' by their o*-n
..five-eighth. The Queensland fortvards
-are better than Wieir backs. Oxlade
and Flanagan are two of the finest
"•forwards playing Rugby today." j
"What is your opinion of the Rugby
" grounds In. Australia?" .
"They are beautiful grounds in all
- "respects and thoroughly adapteu for
.-the game. They are turfed. The Syd
ney cricket ground is about the finest
one I /caw. Every suburb in
.Brisbane and Wellington has \u25a0grounds
.."of Its own, on which the district's club
.plays Its games. The Woolloongabba
"ground In Brisbane and the exhibition
ova! are splendid grounds.
"The Sydney university ground is
.-.also a first class one."
"In reference to the three-quarter
•system, which do you consider the bet
s*,< r, the three or four combination?". I
\ *T: have --.seen both combinations
.played and each has its advantages,
but for all round defensive work I
•think the four combination is the best.
However, we intend to try out both
"styles at Stanford this year, and will
select the one which gives us the best
* results/ !
"As regards the social side of your
"trip, how were you treated?"
"As a representative of an American
paper I wish to tender hearty thanks to
Australia and New Zealand through
" The Call. We were treated in these
lands of the 'Southern Cross" as I never
di earned of. We were given free en
trc<" to everything. We were made
honorary members of all the different
grounds and unions. Everything was
done for our special benefit and com
fort. We were received with o"pen
arms. Really Ido not think'there is a
country in the world where people are
so open hearted, lavish and genuine
with their hospitality as in Australasia.
Our executive committee is, of course,
\u25a0writing- our thanks and gratification to
Australasia, but I am glad to have this
opportunity to express 'my feelings
through The Call.":*"
"What is j-our opinion of the future
for Rugby in California?"'
"I think and hope the game is here
to stay. But to bring that about suc
cessfully tre will have to get the'high
*jk-ools to take up the game. I 'have
lifjard there are several colleges . going
tty play the game this year,, and next
ytax I feel certain most of the academic
league schools will be playing, Rugby.
As for Stanford,' the students have a
srreatcr opinion of the game this year
Motor Car Experts Make Successful Tests of Alcohol as Fuel
than previously, and I, believe the ma
jority of them are for Rugby. As for
California I hear the students are just
as enthusiastic over the game ajs-we
are. If this is the case then Rugby is
here to stay. _
The proposed almagamation. of the
I Oakland Hornets and the Barbarian
j Rugby football clubs Js a project which
i should meet with the hearty support of
1 not only these clubs, but of all true
j lovers of all branches of amateur sport.
lAt present . both Clubs are In need
jof suitable training*quarters. Neither
team is strong enough financially to go
I into such an undertaking single handed,
but with the club's amalgamated the
matter should be easy. * ---:
The idea is to join forces and adopt a
suitable name for the club. Those who
have paid their entrance fees to either
clr.b will become members of the new
athletic club. It is proposed to charge i
small monthly dues. ; \u0084
• \u25a0 '. •.; . : \u25a0" "•"/'•'
There is one 1 point which the uni- '
versity authorities should takj? under:
consideration — that is, the continu- I
ance of football after the big game. At
the colleges there is practically only
two months of football.
' The climate in California Is perfect
for football up to the end of January
and even longer. It is a pity the season \
is so short, and it Is to be hoped that
some plan can be devised to give us I
football at least four months a year.
• • •
From present appearances it seems
that Rugby football is here to stay.
[Last week The Call was the first to
announce that Santa Clara college was
going, to play "the good .old game."
Last Wednesday The Call was the first
to give out the information that St.
Mary's college in Oakland also had de
cided to, adopt Rugby.
Now comes the announcement that
the University of the Pacific at San
Jose Is .going to play Rugby. Last
week the representatives pf the uni
\ versity were in the city learning what
, they could at the Berkeley 5 campus.
'.It is also announced that it is the
intention .of the officers at the Presidio
to form a club.
With these colleges taking up Rugby, !
and persons outside' the colleges form- j
ing teams ft seejfiS to me that Rugby is
pair.ir.gin favor daily. It is a deserv
| ing g-anie and one which should ap- !
\u25a0 peal to all lovers of amateur clean
It is to be regrettefl that the Aea-
J«mle league does not take it up. To
the writer it seems that if the prin- !
cipals of all the schools concerned in
ilip League were to take a stand on the !
subjt*t. Rugby would be played here
next year by the Academic league.
A well known "-Rugby authority re
cently told me that the, Academic
league, in his opinion, should overcome:
its prejudlcosin this case to "anything
English," and play Rugby. .
"It isagam«\"' he said, "that is full of
sport and fun. At the same time there is !
more life and go to it than our old
| game.- I am an American," he con
cluded, "but Rugby has our game j
"beaten a mile.' "
Let the Academic league consider the
above remarks. \u25a0 They are from an au
thority on both games and can .cer
tainly be rolled on and acted on wisely
by the league.
'• In the resignation of Dudley 'D.
Sales as graduate manager of ath
letics. Stanford university has lost the
services of as indefatigable a worker
aa ever held the position.. Dudley Sales'
name is known in every city in the
west, and he was held in high esteem
by «;very Stanford student. He leaves
Stanford to enter Harvard,' where he
will complete his law stuciog. •
v Guy Knupf has been elected to the
vacancy caused by "Sales' retirement.
Knupf is a hard and has tlio
interest of his varsity at heart.
The freshman souad at Stanford this
year is bigger than ever hcfore. Among:
the freshmen are several who p!nyert
Rugby* In the southern high schools
last season. .With the knowledge they
sained there they are almost certain
to make the freshman' team:
Another '"baby'Viikely^to be heard
from in Rugby, is 'K. S.,Do!e. This, lad
brings with him a good record from
his school, and if he goes in and trains
he Is almost a certainty for Octo
ber 12. ;
One of last year's freshmen, a man
whom I then prophesied was a coming
Rugby three-quarter, is Cook. He was
selected as "sub" on la-st year's var
sity team. This year I am sure, he
will be seen on the scpring line, and
I have no hesitation in saying he will
make the varsity team.'
Heinly. Gay. Fitting, Terrill, .. Rog
ers and Faulker, all of whom made
strong bids for /the varsity team last
year, «re out again and expect • . to
make things lively In their several
positions. Crawford, who played
tackle in the old game, and Vander
voort. halfback in the 1905 game, are
out for Rugby this year, and should
be able to dp well. "Strong, a Univer
sity of Idaho man. Is at Stanford and
will try for Rugby. " ; „,, "
It has been/ reported several times
that Horton was to be. back at college
and take up Rugby, but from what
I hear his return is doubtful. "•\u25a0 .
Miller, the vanity trackman. Is out
for Rugby. He- should .make a good j
