STANFORD TO OPEN BERKELEY STADIUM It is definitely assured that the California Memorial Stadium will be completed in time for the California-Stanford Big Game this year, according to an announcement issued by L.A. Nichols, general manager of the Associated Students of the University of California. With the assurance that the Stadium will be completed the announcement has also been made that the applications for Big Game seats this year far exceeds the applications received in the like period of any other year. With the increased seating capacity it is hoped that the majority of the football enthusiasts can be accommodated with seats. Six-sevenths of the work on the California Memorial Stadium has been completed and the concrete pouring will be finished by October 15. The erection of wooden seats has already commenced on the southern and western sections. The first excavation was started Jan. 1, and 225,000 cubic feet of dirt were removed before actual construction could start. Today the Stadium stands a reality against the hills, majestic in dimensions and grand in its simplicity, visible from the campus and from San Francisco across the bay; withdrawn but not apart. The Stadium is architecturally beautiful. It is colligal in form and closed at both ends. On the west the inner or lower half of the seats is carried on earth; the outer or upper half on a concrete super-structure which has for its support a wall that from the exterior has the appearance of a true Coliseum of dignified and stately proportions. Along the eastern rim there is a seventy-five foot driveway that winds WILLS UNDOUBTED HEAVY CONTENDER NEW YORK, Oct. 12—Harry Wills the giant negro heavyweight dispelled a note of uncertainty today as to whether he is a logical contender for a match with Champion Jack Dempsey. He is. The big black tucked away Homer Smith, the Kalamazoo heavy, in five minutes of fighting at the Qunsboro stadium last night and made a most impressive showing. He was in superb condition and he worked on Smith like a good tailor, cutting his goods to suit his fancy. Homer recently gained a lot of fame by sticking ten rounds with Luis Angel Firpo. Wills was faster on his feet than Firpo, for he succeeded in catching up with Homer and plastering him all over the lot in slightly less than two rounds. Homer was running most of the time except when he was in a reclining position on the canvas. In New York City there are now 125 central offices connecting approximately 1,200,000 telephones in the greater city. THE WRESTLING BLUES (With apologies to any one that writes blues and dedicated to Roy Mabee.) O this monotony, day by day. The breezes through the orange trees blow, Duck and chicken cackle in their play, The kids shout and yell you know. CHORUS But I have got the wrestling blues. To grab and hold and tare and bruise. To twist and turn and to dare and take. To hold them tight, ones and twos. O I have got the wrestling blues. First it was Big Al Sparks I threw Then I most broke Vic Baden in two. The Jap, Mondt and Padillo I threw But throw Ad Santel I could not do. CHORUS Next Tuesday evening Johnny Adams will face a clever fighter in Joe Avery in the main event at the Orana boxing show. Joe has made a decided hit with the fans and his bout with Billy Darnley’s flash will pack the house. STAR ATHLETES SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 12—An American Olympics in fact as well as in name will be staged in San Francisco and bay points during the American Legion national convention. The convention athletic committee has whipped its program into shape with the assurance that some of the best individual and team stars in the country will compete for national trophies during the period. Jole Ray, Clarence DeMar, Brick Muller, Wm. Tilden and other high lights have definitely given word they will appear.

The Trojana are the favorites, but the Wolves are LOSE SO MANY BALLS SERIES MAY BE LOSS (By John P. Medbury) (Written for International News Service) NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—While there were over 45,000 fans at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon both teams lost considerable money as so many foul balls were knocked into the grand stands that all the profits went to the sporting goods companies. McQuillan was delivery clerk for the Giants and the Yankees signed everything with their bats. Huggins buys his baseballs at retail, but McGraw's men knocked them away wholesale. There wasn't any excitement until the second inning when Ward borrowed one of Babe Ruth's cigarettes and then walloped a home run into the left field stands. And the Yankees kept right on getting home runs until Mr. Ruth ran out of cigarettes. Mr. Ruth also got two home runs and could have got more but McGraw sent word to him not to send the ball over the fence as the Giants couldn't afford it. Babe sent word back that McGraw ought to be glad they weren't playing with alligator tears. The next ball he twirled was be tween first base and home. The umpire thot it was close enough to the plate to call it a strike. The crowd booed him for this decision, but it isn't his fault if nature cut his eyes on the blaz. By this time the Yankees were hitting everything McQuillan had. One player suggested to the umpire that he let all the members of the home team get on the bases and save the pitcher's arm. McGraw finally told McQuillan he was wanted on the phone and that Bentley would take his place. Bentley turned around and looked at the clock on right field fence and then wound up. But he took so much time doing so he probably thot we still had daylight saving time. The first ball he pitched hit Pennock in the hip. Pennock, however, didn't get cut as he wasn't carrying anything in his back pocket at the time. The Yankees had walloped the Giant pitcher out of the box so Bentley evened things up by knocking Huggins' batter off the plate. Schang made a beautiful drive which Young muffed. He handled it about as carelessly as tho he were picking ornaments off last year's Christmas tree. Bentley by this time was bouncing balls off the umpire's chest but got discouraged when he saw they were not having any effect. They didn't even break a button on his undershirt. He finally began to throw such wild balls that McGraw was thinking seriously about putting an extra catcher at third base. STANDING OF TEAMS W. L. Pet.

Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—With the situation returned to its pre-series status of Wednesday, the thinkers of the Giants and the deep hitters of the Yankees will resume in the third game of the world's series at the WOLVES DANGEROUS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12.—The Wolves of Nevada will attempt to accomplish a stunt performed only by the California Bear during the past two years when they trot out on the gridiron in the Los Angeles Coliseum tomorrow and try to take the measure of "Gloomy Gus" Henderson's University of Southern California Trojans. The Trojans are the favorites, but the Wolves are dangerous and mean business. Last year Nevada held U. S. C. to a 6 to 0 score and Coach (Corky) Courtright claims he has a much better eleven this fall than last. The Trojans have done nothing sensational in their two appearances to date and unless they show more than they did in defeating Caltech and Pomona, they may find themselves in a ticklish position before the four quarters roll by tomorrow. Coach Courtright and twenty-five players will step off the train here tomorrow morning, so the Wolves will not get a chance to get used to conditions in the Coliseum until just before the game starts. Courtright has announced the line-up which he will send against the Trojans. Capt. Scranton, Jones, Monahan and Gutterin will compose the starting backfield. Harrison and Hobbs will hold down wing jobs. Gridley and Carlson will be at the tackle positions, Baalam and Gillberg are to be at guard and Dubey will hold out at center on the opening kick-off tomorrow. This is the same bunch that held Andy Korr's powerful Cardinals to a 27 to 0 count last Saturday at Palo Alto. Henderson plans to play Capt. Chet Dolley, Campbell, Riddle and Newman in the backfield, Plythian and Stark at ends, Anderson and Cummings at tackles, Hawkins and Earle at guards and Rice at center as his starting eleven providing this bunch is able to run up a safe lead he will shoot in a lot of substitutes for "Gloomy" wants to save his regulars for the Washington game, which comes off at Seattle a week later. However, according to the advance depoe on the Wolves, the Trojan regulars are liable to have to play the full game. In a preliminary contest to the Nevada-U. S. C. tilt, Coach Leo Calland's Trojan peagreen eleven meet Long Beach High. The Jackrabbits held the California Frosh to a 20 to 7 score last Saturday at Berkeley and will furnish the strongest opposition Calland's Babes have run up against this season. The Fresh will be outweighed about five pounds to the man by the Long Beach Preps. ALUMNI HOLD H. S. TO 0 TO 0 SCORE STANDING OF TEAMS W. L. Pet.

HUGGINS IS HAPPY AND McGRAW GRIM NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Miller Huggins was hilarious, John McGraw grim but calm, as the Yankees and Giants prepared for the third game of the world's series this afternoon. "We have the best club in the world and we'll prove it in this series," said Huggins. "The victory what we needed. My players now feel that we have the Giants on the run and with Ruth hitting, they are convinced that they will win the series." I only hope McGraw's pitchers continue to pitch to Ruth. If they do, you will see some hitting." "Well, we will simply have to start all over again," McGraw said. "We had them on the run until yesterday and we'll have them on the run again I have no doubt of that. We're ready for the third game." GOOD FORTUNE" IS GROOM'S "BLOWOUT" ORLAND, (Glen.co.).

Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 12—With the situation returned to its pre-series status of Wednesday, the thinkers of the Giants and the deep hitters of the Yankees will resume in the third game of world's series at the Yankee Stadium today. The Giants thinking deep, subtle thoughts, conspired to win the opening. The Yanks, hitting deep, non-subtle hits won the second game. Those of a speculative turn of mind, are pleased to believe that the odds lie with the Yankees. They again made the latter 6 to 5 in the betting today and one hardy soul went so far as to lay $7000 against $6000 at a famous Broadway rendezvous. He was still under the spell of the two home runs wafted out of the park yesterday by our Mr. Ruth, tending to indicate that John McGraw can no longer think faster than our hero can hit. John will try again today and is almost certain to use Art Nehf's left hand as his medium of expression. Nehf, long a source of mystery to Yankee hitting is somewhat overdue in this series. He was the unanimous selection of narrow-eyed calculating experts to pitch the opening game. He didn't. They spoke of him as the inevitable choice for the second game. He wasn't. They now predict he will pitch the third game for a certainty and we can do no less than string along. If the series lasts long enough Mr. Nehf will pitch a game and the experts will be right, severally and in toto. Play by Play Today (EIGHTH INNING) GIANTS—Plpp was unable to continue and Ruth was brot in from the outfield to play first and Halnes was sent to right field. Nehf singled over third. Bancroft struck out. Groh struck out. Frisch out. Jones to Ruth on an easy infield tap. No runs; one hit; no errors; one left. YANKS—Hoffman was sent in to bat for Jones. Hoffman out on a high fly to Frisch. Witt singled through second. Bancroft knocked the ball down but could not field it. Witt forced at second, Groh to Frisch, on Dugan's hard grounder. Dugan on first. Ruth up. Ball 1 wide. Ball 2 inside. Ball 3 wide. The crowd began booing Nehf for throwing Ruth three balls. Foul tip strike 1. Ball 4. Ruth walked and again the crowd booed. Meusel out on a long fly to Stengel. No raws.; 1 hit; no errors; 2 left. NINTH INNING ALUMNI HOLD H. S. TO 0 TO 0 SCORE Anaheim H. S. alumni, veterans of many a gridiron battle, held Coach Fitzmorris' athletics to a 0 to 0 score last night. Be it said, however, that in view of the game with San Bernardino Saturday, the first string players were sent in only for the latter end of the game. The alumni imported quantities of football wisdom to Fitzmorris' proteges. Failure to complete passes cost the varsity two chances to score, one from the alumni's ten-yard line. Williamson, a grad, furnished a thrill when he ran a punt back 30 yards. Captain Hile played his usual snappy game at center. ALUMNI—VARSITY—Topham LE Rees N. Hile LT P.

F. Bldg. Anaheim Sunday, Oct. 14, 7:30 P.M. All cordially invited NATIONAL CODE TO ENFORCE DRY LAW (By Kenneth W. Clark) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Adoption of a sweeping national code for the enforcement of the dry law is the chief suggestion which the Coolidge administration will advance at the governor's conference at the White House on Oct. 20. It was learned here today. This plan, worked out by the prohibition unit on the basis of questionaires submitted to all state executives, entails closest co-ordination of federal and state dry agencies in gathering up the loose ends and strengthening the weed spots in the nation-wide liquor enforcement system. Chief recommendations for the formation codes are: 1. That the Pennsylvania "block system" be used extensively to close up establishments violating the prohibition amendment. 2. That state authorities assume a more vital and active part in conducting dry raids. 3. That prosecuting attorneys and courts deal more severely with liquor law violators, imposing jail sentences as well as heavy fines. 4. That purchases of contraband wet goods be dealt with as severely as sellers. 5. That more speed and preference be given liquor cases in the courts. Besides prohibition, two other important subjects, suppression of dope traffic and "bootlegging of immigrants" are on the program of the conference. UNITED THEATER, 306 E. Center St. D. W.
