Coached to the height of foot ball efficiency and in as good physical cond:tiou as can be expected following a strenuous season, foot. ball teams representing Ohio state university and the University of California will clash tomorrow at Tournament park in a contest which . is attract ing country-wide attention J. The teams have been impressed with the responsibility which they carry. Each is a representative of the two sections -and an exponent of the caliber of foot ball d-'splayed by the Western conference and Pa cific coast conference. Teachings of the coaches also are at stake and the contest will go a long way toward determining whether coast foot ball is as far advanced as that in the middle west and eat. Tonight each, eleven is given an equal chance to wju by those who generally place wagers on any sort of sporting' event. Even money is being wagered in large amounts, but it . is expected the odds will favor Ohio when the learns take the field. . The struggle is certain to settle down to a contest .between old and new styles of taejics.V California can not be said ieW.KaWtne open attack of Ohio, whTch'also Las a powerful straight , play offense. The Golden state eleven wifl fely upon the oldt fashioned line-smashing game varied occasionally, by" the tnd runs and forward.passkigs. In the latter de partment -the; coast '.eleven will not match up with the Buckeyes, who are one of the country's leading ex ponents in successfully executing foot ball sraost dangerous weapon of attack,- (,. : Punting will be an important fac t tor iu deciding the issue. Coach Smith of California will use Nisbett at fullback insteadvOf Morrison, be cause the former, is a better dis tance kicker. Coach Wilce intends to start Henderson at right halfback to help H. Workman in the punting "Rattle. Needless to state, the ends have been coached all week, as to the -best methods of getting down under the kicks. While many angles of foot ball must be taken into consideration in endeavoring to determine the prob able winner, the big advantage in Ohio's favor is that it has been put to the acid test. The Buckeyes won comparatively few easy games. They came from behind to win from Chi cago and Wisconsin, while Illinois was defeated when the ball was in the ai- as the game terminated. California won its contests easily. Oregon Aggies held the Golden state eleven to a 7 to 7 score in the first half, but j,n the second period Coach Smith's team annexed 10 wore points. Washington State, the toam who defeated Nebraska, 21 to 20. was beaten bV California. 49 toO, and Leland Stanford submitted to a, 38 to 0 defeat. ! - In-winning its games, with 'the , exception of the Oregon Aggies con test, every play sprung by Califor nia was good for gains. Just what will fcappen when , these formations fail to net the expected yardage to morrow is the all important factor. Nothing is more discouraging, or demoralizing to a team than to have its pet plays checked without gain. Coaches and officials held a long .session tonight to agree on uniform rules and several important points were threshed out. . . . Holmesville Railway ' J Crossing to Be Rebuilt ; Lincoln, Dec. 31. (Special.) On complaint of Arthur M. Miller and others of Holmesville, the Union Pacific railroad company has been orderea by -the state railway com mission to reconstruct its grade cross ing near that town, so as to do away with the dangerous conditions which exist. t Because of a high em bankment, the wagon road after crossing the bridge does not permit travelers to see the railroad for about 150 feet before reaching the crossing. ' - The complaint shows that about 40 school children have to cross the track- each day and in the interests ot safety first the commission has ordered "the track raised so it will be as high as the floor of the bridge and the earth embankment which Nnow hides the view of the track re moved. .

Tilden II, and William M.' Johnston, the Kankee 1 challengers, defeated "the Australian players, Norman E. Brookes and Gerald L. Patterson, in three of four sets of double. Coupled with yesterday's twin victory in sin gles, yesterday's achievement gives the challengers three wfns out of a possible five, two single matches re maining to be played. ' In the doubles the Americans dis played the same aggressiveness and generalship that carried them to vic tory in their two singles matches. The Challengers Avere lightning fast, despite the fa:t the courts were still a bit heavy from recent rains that twice delayed the playing of the singles. Tilden's plays was a bhvmore spectacular than that of Johnston. Both the defending players appeared up to their usual game, but simply could not cope with the varied tactics of the Yankees. The Davis cup last changed hands in 1914, when the Australian team previous vear, the Yankee team had to 2 at Forest Hills, N. Y.
