Oakland. Cal Nov. 11.i SpeetallSeven thousand people attended the opening of the racing seaaon at Oakland thia at ternoon. The weather was bright and warm. There were twenty-three bookmakers line, which is a California record for opening day.

Scores of eastern turtmen were In stendance. The Opening handicap, with $2.010 added, had thirteen starters. with Proper an overwhelming favorite, 3 to 5 being the post price in many books. San Nicolas and Iligh Chancellcr were second choices at 6 and 7 to After a little delay Starter Holtman sent the bunch off to a moderately good start. except for Bombardier and Blue Eyes.

San Nicolas went right to the front. and. setting a killing pace. opened up a gap of three lengths, with Terri 's Rod second. Turnieg into the stretch High Chancellor closed on the leader and a pretty struggle ensued.

San Nicolas hotted long enough to win by a neck. although high Chancellor would have passed him in a few more Tern's Rod was an indifferent third. with Bragg and Rightful next in crder. Prcper got a fairly good start. but fell back to a rear position.

hanksgiving a y. Still Chicago's victory over Wide Purdue by 19 to 0 would give the ma- aktela a fair margin over Michigan if corn-use scores were worth anything. For Pa giceian made only four more points against Illinois than Purdue did. 'luring that way. oaago should be fifteen points better than aitaigan.

But such arguments are ground-lea as well as foolish. Purdue undoubtedly was en edge and did its best against Illinois. The result was to O. Michigan may have Leta on edge for its game with the Illini. but it iu not believed for a minute Yost's mt ex-levied themselves in that game.

Without doing their best they scored thirty-three points. Atkaigan, therefore, is more than four points better than Purdue, without question. It is meally certain Chicago is more than nineteeA points better than Purdue, for Stages men, while playing to win. were under orders sot ta uncover more of their strength than was recessary. and Stagg has not been working behind locked gates all the fall 'to pro-dupe the offense shown yesterday.

The maroon defense was what Staeg wished to test in that game and he probably used the hmt he had. On the showing made, it is d'Iecult to draw any conclusions. Judged by a tmI1 portion of the first half. Yost's men would be able to run all over the maroons. judged by the rest of the game and by the recovery which the maroon forwards made after their severest battering.

they can stop Yost's beefy mach ne when they meet IL It is still an open qtestion. and wide open at that. A stinging blow to Chicago's hopes fell like a thunder clap in the maroon camp mien the announcement was made that Dan Beose had been declared Ineligible by the eaaference referee. to whom his standing was refared. This will deprive the maroon of a strong and speedy back, and will necessitate deveioping a new one out of doubtful materiaL, for Walker's injury mends so slowly there is small hope he can last through sty-day minutes against Michigan.

Other games in the west were of the practice kind only and produced nothing unlooked for. In the c-ast the defeat of Harvard by Pennsylvania was a greater disappointment than surprise to the etamaon loyalists. for the Cambridge team has been a problem all the year. It will make a severance of relations with Pennsy more difficult for Harvard and probably will in-erase the crimsons desire for radical changes In the gridiron game. The other eastern games increased the Yale tinge in the atmosphere of that section.

As Bob Fitzsimmons stepped aboard the Overland Limited last night. on his way to California to fight Jack O'Brien, Carter Harrison came up to take the train for Kenosha. The former mayor recognized the pugilist, an stepping forward. snook hands. saying: I wish you good luck." Fitzsimmons replied.

sayieg he expected to come back a winner. And I expect." said Mr. Hil'erlson, to be In a position when you come back. to allow you to be a winner in Chicago." The ex-mayor congratulated Fitz on his looks, telling' the tighter that he looked younger than ever. Scores of amateur boxers will take part In the Central association championship tournament at the Coliseum tomorrow night.

Some of the men are first class boxers and some are the other kind. The new Illinois Athletic club is promoting the tournament. It will cover two nights. The entries for the tournament closed with Secretary (lens linger last night. The committee of the Central association clubs of the Amateur Athletic union will go over the lists carefully and there may be pruning done and some of the names dropped.

This will be the first great big tournament of its kind in this city. It also will be the first time boxing will have been permitted in the Coliseum building. Because of the large number of entries and the consequent high total of bouts necessary to decide the winners in the Emu classes. the spectators undoubtedly will witness a continuous show that will be a mixture of mirth, cleverness. and hard hitting.

The main prizes are the championships of $4Ven classes and titles that will cover the district controlled by the Central Association of the Amateur Athletic union. The amateur rules differ materially In the general from those used by professionals. Each trial bout is of three rounds. with the privilege of an extra round should the judges and referee disagree. In the finish the first two rounds are to be three minutes and the linal four minutes.

today defeated Harvard in one of the fiercest gridiron battles ever witneseed on Frark lin field. The final score was 12 to ti. Both elevens scored a touchdown and kicked goals in the first half. ard the Quaker eleven added te second touchdown in the second half. It is a peculiar ceineldenee that Lamson.

Before the game had been in progrees three minutes. and with the ball within ten yards of liarvardei goal Fop-ter was sent against Pennsylvania's le ft tackle.

As he struck the line Foster dropped the ball, and when Referee McClung was able to get the mas so humanity scparated Robinson was lying on the ball within eight yards of Ilarvard'e goal. In three plays Lamson was pushed over for a touchdown. The score was made so quickly that the great crowd could hardly realize It. It was then Ilarvard's tern for a run of luck. Burr kicked to Sheble.

who had a splendid opportunity to carry the ball out of danger, but just as he got well started he dropped the pigskin but a Quaker pluyer fell on it within four yards of Pennsylvania's goal. Sheble kicked on the tirsit lineup, the ball going to Hurley of Harvard. on Pennsylvania's forty yard line. Here the crimson eleven began to work Its famous tandem, and. aided by two offside plays which netted ten yards, it quickly pushed the ball over for a touchdown.

Third Score Well Earned. The third touchdown was made on hard clean football. Penerylvania got the ball on liarvards forty-five yard mark on an exchange of kicks. and pushed it over for the final touchdown by straight line plunging. Torrey kaki the goal.

The numerous changes in the Harvard lineup attest the fierceness with which the Penn5-ylvan1a players went into the tandem play of the crimson. Five men were so badly weakened that they were to the tilde The Pennsylvania lineup remained intact. however, with the exception of Sheble, who made too free use or his hands. There was probably never a football game played in which there was such a difference In the two halves. In the first bad Harvard completely outplayed Pennsylvania and gained ground almust at will.

while in the Fecond half the crimson wave rs mad only one first down.

CAREFUL perusal of the first installnient ot E. S. Jordan's of alleged evils In the athletics of western universities Mr. Jordan's produces a feeling of Expose Isappointment in the rairais of all who are Falls Short. stre in the desire to purge athletic circles of questionable methods and practices.

First of all. Mr. or-Lao fails to inspire confidence in his own sincerity and nonpartisanship. There are evidences of a personal animus, wilich de'wact from the force of his statements and partisanship is shown in his effort to shield from' blame some of the sources of his Inferiaation, even when making direct quotations: Then he provokes antagonism from tte people best disposed toward college atialettos by taking the position that a parent waom be accuses of bartering the abliity of his son among differtnt colleges, and the Mn who is accused of going where be could get the most for his services. are not at all to blame, but are honest." The whole bianae Is placed upon, the institutions of learning.

On the comrary, if college athletes themselves were honest," Lone of the ecils could exist. There is no disposition to lighten the blame which belongs to the colleges and universities, but the disgrace must be shared by the Men who yield to the held out. In the eyes of a sport loving world it is no greater dishonor for a eallege to offer financial inducements to athletes than for those athletes to sell their servtces instead of giving them with that ta-orit loyalty to an alma mater on which sport once was based. and by which it built up its great prestige. No doubt that has passed, and there now is much that is "rotten in college sports.

No doubt a igick research and vigorous exposure of facts lased on sound proofs would do an incalculable good. But Mr. Jordan's worst fault is that he has contented himself with reprinting what has been common report kariong west( rn colleges for two or three ears. He has attempted to prove his harges by statements from coaches and liayers regarding evils in other colleges which are rivals of their own. Many of interviews and charges have been pub-shed previously in western newspapers.

But they prove nothing for such accusatkais and refutations are being made con-saintly. and one carries as much weight as ine other with the public. If Mr. Jordan trill delve into the heart of thingssecure proofs, evidence. substantiation of the charges he makes.

and give those proofs to the publiche will compel a cleaning up inch will bring him fame instead of mere notoriety. and will be of great benefit to sport. It is an arduous. thankless task. but the method with which he has started out tan accomplish little good.
