WITHDRAWS BAN ON
FOOTBALL IN SCHOOLS
Oakland Board Decides to
Permit Pupils to Play
American Game ' %
NOW APPROVES SPORT
Exhibition Given to Show
That Injurious Features
Are Removed
• OAKLAND. Dec. 4. — The board of
education has withdrawn the ban on the
American game of football in the public
schools. This action was taken after
City Superintendent of Schools J. "W.
McClymonds had reported to the board
that under the revised rules the game
had become one fr<->m which former
objectionable features had been elimi
nated. The board will recommend to
the academic athletic league that um
pires and referees be chosen from
graduates of Oakland schools.
The Oakland high school has been
permitted to play under the new rules
for the purpose of convincing the board
and the superintendent that the game
could be played without serious injury
to the youths.
Eight new classes have been opened
in the Longfellow school, which was
recently completed. A ninth class will
be organized soon ard the tenth and
last room In the building 13 expected
to be occupied in the near future.
According to School Director Charles
H. Redington the cost of supervision of
construction work on the new Prescott
school is greater at present than the
material and labor which are being
used on the structure, so slowly Is
the work moving. Redington facetious
ly declared that at the present rate
of progress 1910 would pass out before
the building was completed.
The board has ordered the purchase
of forges and equipment for the in
stallation of an iron working shop Jij
the manual training and • commercial
high school.
Residents of Emeryville will not be
permitted after the Christmas holidays
to send their children to the Oakland
public .schools unless upon request of
the Emeryville board of education and
approval by the Oakland board, and
the same rule will apply to Oakland
school children attending the Emery
ville ecjiool, with reverse rule as to
request and consent of boards.

DENIES THROWING ACID
INTO GLOVER'S FACE
Cross Examination of Olive
Scully Brings, Out
Contradiction
THE DEFENSE
AIDS
Dr.H. S/Buteau Says He
Believes Woman on Trial
Not Sane
OAKLAND, Dec. 4. — The cross exami
nation of Olive Scully as a witness for
herself In her trial for the murder of
James F. Glover- was concluded during
the afternoon session today. Assistant
District Attorney Hynes allowed the
weary woman to go after he had
slightly confused her and had secured
from her a denial that she had thrown
acid into Glover's face. She said today
that some one had taken, the. glass con
taining the acid from her and that she
\u25a0was positive she did not throw it. On
direct examination she said she did not
remember any of the events directly
preceding the affair.
Dr. H. S. Buteau was called by the
defense and proved a strong witness.
He said he believed any person insane
who macle an "honest" attempt to com
mit suicide. He -elso said he had
found scars on Miss Scully's head such
as might have resulted in mental de
rangements. One of the scars had
grown fast to the skull beneath It, he
said. The prisoner was suffering from
aphasia, he testified, which rendered it
difflcult for her to put syllables of
words together. He considered a
younger brother and sister, who were
present, as imbeciles and believed their
mental condition had been inherited.
Attorney Phil Walsh was propound
ing a hypothetical question to the doc
tor when adjournment was taken. The
question covered five typewrlten pages
and summed up the facts of Miss
Scully's life as they had been given in
the testimony. Walsh was trying to
get the doctor's opinion regarding the
sanity of a woman Jn her twenty
eighth year who haa suffered at the
hands of her father and other men
what had been described as. the experi
ences of the defendant. The question
and the trial will be resumed tomor
row.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec 4.—
Dr. Edward Robeson Taylor, mayor
of San Francisco, was given a most
enthuslsatlc reception by the under
graduates of Stanford university when
he appeared upon the varsity, rostrum
this morning at the big assembly
which winds up functions of this na
ture/for the semester. His remarks,
purely In the nature of advice to stu
dents interspersed with a few touches
from the metropolis, were cheered to an
echo. He was introduced to the stu
dents by acting president J. M. StlU
man as a fair example of the scholar
who enters politics. Dr. Taylor said
In part:
"The unlversfly Is the means to the
end. If you consider knowledge gained
here as an end, then It Is all wrong
and you might as well have stayed
home. The vanity of knowledge la
just ! as bad as the vanity of clothes
and riches and other kinds of vanity.
If you think you have gained some
knowledge here do not look down upon
those who have not had the same ad
vantages. You do not come here to
pick up scraps of knowledge. You
come because the university creates the
best environment, which should draw
out the best that Is In you. You must
build a moral foundation,, or else you
are worse than the structure built on
a sand foundation. That man la not
so much fle^h and bone, muscle and tis
sue, but a spirit and an Immortal spirit,
is the great Idea, and if you have
failed to grasp this principle you have
failed to grasp the great fundamental
of education." V;
Dr. Taylor touched on the situation
in San Francisco In illustrating a point
in his address.
"Everything must be cared for."
said he. "Everything will go to rack
and ruin unless watched. In San Fran
cisco It has been much this way In
the past and we hope in the future
it will be different. For Instance the
streets should be Inspected. If not
daily or weekly, at least monthly.
Things should not be as they have been.
We have laid new streets, and then
left them and they have gone to ruin
for want of attention. This is an ex
ample of what is to be corrected and
is applicable to you collegians. If
you do I not watch yourselves and
govern your habits, the same as we
must everything else, you will come
to ruin. , .
"Your knowledge gained here should
make you better men and women. If
your . knowledge does not. then It Is
all rubbish; rubbish I say. There are
plenty of people of knowledge serving
terms in penitentiaries.
"Science has become a fetish. ". "We
worship it as a god and look for it
to deliver us from all evils. I do not
believe It will in all senses of the word,
but It does help to make the environ
ment better. It rids the country of
plagues and famines."
Dr. Taylor touched upon the labor
situation. "This Is the age of the com
mon peopled* he said. "Never before
has the common man come so promi
nently to the fore. You college men
must meet him, and you should Judge
him by his dealings. A man who is
true to himself, to his state and his
city— one' who Is kind and loving to
his family and kind and considerate of
his fellow men — Is my example of a real
man. I do not care a whit whether or
not he Is a university man of whether
he doesn't even know his alphabet, he
Is a real man Just the same."
The gathering of students cheered
Dr. Taylor to an echo upon the com
pletion of his address.

IpSLJREFUfiE SUBSTITUTE^
TO ELIMINATE COEOS
IN STUDENT AFFAIRS
First Step Taken at Berkeley
at the Semiannual
Meeting
BERKELEY. Dec 4. — The first step
toward the separation of the men stu
dents* from the women students* organ
izations at the university was taken
this afternoon at the regular semi
annual meeting of the associated stu
dents, when John Tyssowski Introduced
an amendment to prohibit the coeds
from membership in the men's student
body. Absence of coeds from the meet
ing prevented a Cght being made on
the question by the leaders opposed to
the movement, which, they assert,
means to ostracize them. When th«
motion was carried President Burks
announced that the present semester
was too ivar a close for a vote on the
question. Ha said that the proposed
amendment would be considered during
the spring term.
The action of the n\sn students at th»
meeting was a surprise to the women,
who, although they . first started th«
agitation for the separation of the
men's from the women's student bodies.
asked that the matter be settled on
t»rms equal for both sexes. They said
that the amendment proposed by Tys
sowski would be defeated at the polls.
Should the amendment of the men ba
carried at the polls entire control of
student activities will be in the hands
of the nvsn to the exclusion of the
women. The proposed amendment ex
cluding the women students from mem
bership in the associated student body
places them In the position of outsiders
who have no port in the control of all
the affairs of th.» students.
Under existing rules only a man is
eligible for the position of president of
the student body. The coeds, should
the new rule be adopted, will be dis
franchised from voting for the pres
ident.
It is likely that a mass meeting of
the women students will be held In a
few days to consider ways and mean».
for thwarting the purpose of the men.i
Miss Annie Biddle will call the meeting*
