Gossip About Events of National
Importance and the Persons
Who Are in the Head
Liner Claeses.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. fi. — Presi
dent Ray Wilbur, of belaud Stanford
Junior University, in a recent state
ment put an end to any hopes that the
adherents of the American intercol
legiate football at that institution may
have had that the Palo Altans would
return t<\ the national gridiron game.
Ur. Wilbur's edict is that students
must adboia^ to the British game of
Rugby or discontinue football.
At present there are as many as
eight games on Saturdays at the Stan
ford 1 a inn." Dr' Wilburs statement
made it clear that general particip i
tion rather than concentration on
eleven men Is what In seeks, and ths
his objection to coaches is not becaus
they are paid, the Stanford Rugb
coaches having been paid for years
hut because he considers that in th
1 American game the coach works fo
i the development of the few, rathe
than the many.
Advocates and opponents of Hugh;
| on the campus—and they are said tc
be about evenly divided — seem t<
^ agree that Stanford is out of the run
I ning as an intercollegiate football fac
| lor, the more that her only consider
( able competitor, the University of San
! ta Clara is reported to be wavering
I toward the American game. Whether
more general participation of the stu
dent body will offset whatever disad
vantage this entails remains to be
j seen. With the scholastic requirements
advancing by jumps, many students
express doubts as to the ability ol
the student body to keep up and still
I break into the American game as a
powerful factor. This is particularly
t true In the far west, because of the
b tremendous distances — thousands o
i’ miles — traversed by intercolleglatr
, teams, to play a single ■game. Three
a or four such trips in a season make
r a hole in the semester,
r Dr. Wilbur's statement in part is
as follows.
r "Having set a standard after a care
| ful survey of the past, present and
, probable future, Stanford cannot and
will not vacillate. The soundness of
this position will become increasing
ly evident as time goes by.
"There has been a rapid growth in
the resentment felt by many unlver
1 sity men and university faculties to
I wards intercollegiate athletics, large
ly, it seems to me, because of the ex
traneous and the by-products that go
with him, professionalism, anything
for victory, secret practice in football,
failure to keep from interfering with
the university work of players, and
i on. American football, well known
as a coach’s game, is the greatest
menace to intercollegiate athletics.
Those of us who believe in friendly
athletic relations between neighboring
universities, and in the fine spirit
of emulation and in the breadth of ac
quaintance thus developed, look with
j much concern to the future.
"Some years ago the University of
I U»l(fn.nin_1 in. -.c i > >f
, .......V. uuu WIUIIIWI u, lull) t
| zant of the evils of the American
game, as it had developed, decided to
change to Rugby. In it they found a
satisfying substitute which left noth
ing to be desired either in the way of
a sport or a spectacle. Proper in
struction in this game is desirable and
possible, but it does not lend itself
to becoming a coach's contest. Vari
ous types of physique, strong indi
vidual possibilities and team work all
come into it. It can be played alike
b.v boys and middle aged men."
Sacramento has swung into line I
with the majority of the larger citi. s
of the United States and opened a
municipal golf course for the use of its
citizens. With the Inclusion of Sacra
mento practically every sizeable city
of the Pacific slope now is provided
with a public links. Nine holes were
recently thrown open as ready for
play. It is the intention to have a
full course of 18 holes and work on
the second half of the links is already
under way.
The course is 3,375 yards long, and
it is an easy one to play. There is
a sufficient roll to the ground and
sufficient natural hazards to make the
play interesting, but not difficult.
The distance and the par number
of strokes per hole follows:
Hole— Yards Par
First.445 5
Second .332 4
Third .299 4 I
Fourth.267 4l
Fifth.471 5 '
Fifteenth.452 5
Sixteenth.181 3
Seventeenth.474 5
Eighteenth.466 5
The fact that the course has been
laid out over a soil which is a sandy
loam will make it possible for golfers
to play at all seasons of the year, as
it is suid that even heavy rains will
be quickly absorbed. Another feature
is the live oaks which dot the course
and provide excellent natural hazards
The remaining nine holes will be com
pleted and thrown open for play as
soon as possible.
Girls at the University of Colorado
have promised to help their football
team win by refusing to permit the
players to break their training while
In their company. At a recent mass
meeting they adopted a set of rules
defining their co-operation.
Following the lead of the eastern
universities where cross country com
petition has become an important fea
ture of intercollegiate competition,
Stanford University and the Univer
sity of California will hold their first
annual dual cross country run on No
vember 17. The first race will be run
over a course to be laid out over the
Stanford campus. ^
A squad of Stanford cross country
runners has been training regularly
under the direction of Captain A. IJ.
Griffin, '17. Cross country running
has been placed on the minor sport
list by the executive committee and
the winners in the annual race with
California will be given the circle "S.'
A tour of the south by the basket
ball team of Stanford University is
contemplated during the coming
Christmas vacation. Report from Palo
Also is to the effect that there is an
unusual interest in the game this sea
son and that a record of participants
are enrolled for the various teams, in
cluding class, fraternity and university
and club organizations.

I was not president of the Mine Owners’ Association

issued.
My term of office ended September 1, 1907, when I
resigned.
While I was president of the Mine Owners’ Associa
tion it issued no such letter, nor did it discriminate in any
way against union labor. The operators belonging to the
organization were at that time paying $6.00 per day in
stead of $5.00, as mentioned in the letter published by
Dooley. JOHN RONAN.
