They are still writing and cramming paragraphs which have It that tStanrord Is ready and aching to give Rugby the go-by and join tbe American-game fold. This I not so. Stanford like Rugby and will play Rugby next season, and has. in fact, already framed soma of the seasonal games. This Is clear evidence of th attitude of the Cardinal authori ties. In tba meantime the chatter outside does not matter on whit." Such la the substance of an article appearing In the San Francisco Chron icle last Thursday morning. It be- glns to appear tbat the San Francisco scribes are the ones who would be taking the "hunch," for. according to the students who have returned for tha Christmas holidays, Stanford is be tween two fires relative to. taking American football back into the fold at the Palo Alto Institution. The big game this year for Stanford was against Santa Clara College, and now Santa Clara does not know what to do for next Fall. These are the only big collegea In California that still foster the English game, and the only other competition is with the Olympic Club. "Santa Clara la uncertain what she will do next year, and it all remains with Stanford." said Ray Leonard, a former Columbia University all-star atblet who returned from Santa Clara College for the holidays, yesterday afternoon. "Rugby falls to bring out th spirit. In my way of thinking, for we bad only one gaine that amounted to much this year." Leonard waa a regular on the first team until two weeks before the big gam against Stanford at San Fran cisco, H received two broken ribs In th 42-to-0 victory over the Barbarians, and as a result he was deprived from making his monogram. As It was, he received his numeral. "Th majority at Santa Clara would Ilka to sea the American style of play brought back.' Mr. Leonard continued. and as the faculty has gathered to gether coaches for the various branches of athletic at the college who are stu dents of the old game. It Is for this reason things are taking a bright hue. We had seven or eight game sched uled with th Olympic Club, and after tb first game had been played It was only a matter of score for tha rest of th season. No spirit la evident at th club games, for they had no chance to la, al aU ' the ball was often passed directly to a man rurtner back. That was only one of the many re quests for definite rulings. As the on-side kick came in usage again last season, the officials are anxious that the rules for next year prescribe its limitations. An Instance was cited where a team defending its goal on the two-yard line passed the ball back of its goal line, tne Dan was dropped by the back, who then gave the ball a kick. The officials were undecided as how to rule on the play. The punter is not supposed to be roughed by the forward, and if he is taken off his feet the penalty is 15 yards.
