The coaching has been better this year than that but even coaches can't make foot ball piayers out of high school men of unknown caliber, Freshmen have al ways put fear Into the hearts of the coaches and the Brads, for as a general rule their inexperience makes them un reliable during crucial periods. The loss of Captain Dutch Koerner to the Stanford varsity Rugby football team will be a big blow to the Cardi nal's chances to defeat California again this year." Th Oregon ""boy Is a great player and hla presence In the game has always been a boon, to the Palo Alto fifteen. He will be out of the Vancou ver, B.

Talk about your hard luck. Horace McBride, one of the old members of the champion Oregon agricultural college football team of 1397, had about the worst run of any player in the state. After being out of the game a couple of years, while the Spanish-American war was in progress, Mac went up to Eu gene to pursue his studies.
