SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. — Th
student body of the University of Cali
fornia is well pleased with the showinj
made last season by their footbal
squad. While the University of Ore
gon defeated the Californians in mid
season by a one-sided score, the dost
games against the University o
Washington, which brought the seasor
to an end, are particularly encourag
ing to adherents of the Blue and Gold
Much satisfaction is derived fron
the fact that the Califorinans scored
against both of these Northwesterr
universities, while neither of the lat
ter was able to gain any points againsl
W the other. This Is taken to indicate
that the Bears are achieving a wel
defined offensive which, with addition
al experience, will prove a stumbling
block to other teams on the Pacific
coast.
The majority of the Pacific coast
teams have shown an offensive which
was superior to their defensive and,
in this, California was no exception.
With a fast backfield and a particular
ly fast end in the person of Captain
“Brud” Montgomery, the Californians
leaned to the open and aerial form of
play, which was best suited to them
and in which they met with a fair
measure of success.
They showed weakness against the
straight football tactics of their oppo
nents, largely because the Californians
still are new to all the niceties of a
perfected interference, many of the
intricacies of which they are still
learning.
An early season weakness in the
tackling department was responsible
in a large measure for some of their
indifferent showings, but this failing
rapidly showed improvement, and to
ward the end of the season the players
brought down the opposing runners
sharply and hard.
One of the principal features of
the Californians’ game has been its
diversity, which included both the
open and close formations. Adherence
to no particular set style has kept
its opponents constantly on edge be
cause of the uncertainty of what to
expect, and for this reason the Boars,
while defeated in their principal con
tests, always were dangerous.
Unless weather conditions interfere
to make the field unsuitable for play,
the midwinter polo tournament at
Coronado will begin on January first,
with competition for the Jessop
trophy. The players will include well
known riders, who have been identi
fied with the most noteworthy colors
in the country — Meadowbrook, Bryn
Mawr, Rumson, Miama Valley, Point
Judith, Midwick, Denver and Coro
nado.
Many polo men well known here
will participate in the matches. Play
ers like Lawrence ('. Phillips, Jr,
Malcolm Stevenson, Perry Beadleston
Thomas Le Boutillier and many others
of conspicuous daring will be seen In
the tournament. Probably the most
discussed of these Is Alexander Smith
Cochran, of New York, heir to an es
tate said to be appraised at several
millions, and first rank contender for
polo distinction.
Cochran arrived at San Francisco
recently on his magnificent steam
yacht "Warrior." Some index to
„ Cochran's efforts to equip himself as
a polo player of high rank is furnished
by his purchase of the beautiful Mrs.
' O. H. P. Belmont estate adjoining the
Meadowbrook Hunt Club at Monterey,
L. 1. This he improved, developing a
private turf for his own practice, and
later making a present of the regal
estate to the Meadowbrook Club.
K. W. Hopping, G. M. Heckscher,
Benjamin Gatins, Steve Velie, Cliff
M. Weatherw'ax, Colonel Max C.
Fleisehman and Carleton Burke are
sbme of the other leading players who
will appear on the Coronado field dur
ing the season.
Twenty-six ponies belonging to Hop
ping, William P. Hulbert, Mrs. Ray
mond Belmont and Julius Fleisehman
are among the stock in the Coronado
Country club stables. Heckscher’s
string of twenty is due any day, while
other ponies belonging to Be Boutil
Her and Carleton Burke are soon to *
follow.
Major Colin G. Ross, secretary of
the Coronado Country club, said:
"We can look for polo this season
which will surpass any we have ever ,
had at Coronado. From the opening
match New Year’s day we shall have
brilliant, daring play."
MANY VALUABLE
PRIZES TO BE
h
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Cordova Volunteer Eire
Department for its annual masquerade
ball, to be held at Eagle Hall on Sat
urday night, December 30. An excel
lent orchestra has been engaged, the
hall will be appropriately decorated,
the floor put in excellent shape and
everybody supplied with an abundance
of serpentine. The admission has
been fixed at one dollar a couple.
This is to be strictly a masquerade
affair, and those who are not masked
will have to sit on the side lines, as
the floor will be reserved for the par
ticipants in the contests for the prizes,
who must be in costume and masked.
Speaking of prizes, there will be many
of them, and all have an intrinsic
value. The local business men have
responded liberally, and the commit
