COACHER McCLUNG.
His Work With the University BOYS
at Berkeley.

at Berkeley.
Fall on that BALL Hunt! Hnn,p' was
the sharp cry of Coacher McClung, as he
saw the leather fumbled by the second
eleven and bound of along the ground.
These and similar sharp injunctions were
uttered by the great coach at Berkeley yes ter-
day while the university boys were praciic-
ing with the second eleven for the great
match with the Stanfords.
Hunt tried TO do as he was told and threw
himself headloug for the rolling sphere, but
failed to get it, He consoled himself with
The thought that he had made nice resting
place for four of his opponents, and he re-
sumed play.
The next two downs made MeClung fran
tice. On the first he tore off his hat and
threw it on the ground. and when the sec
ond eleven again crashed through the vars
lily center for seven yards gain he relieved
himself of his coat and was ready for busi-
ness.
The first eleven now got the ball and
forced ii back 10 the center, but at that spot
they could not make five yards in three
downs, so their opponents got the ball. The
next play. The ball was passed to one Of
hafbacks. who ran little backward before
he came to the end OF the line.
Archie Pierce broke through and chased
after the runner with arms outstretcbed. j ust
as the big guard thought be had the runner
Archie was left alone with very surprised
look on his face.
OF course the crowd '.joshed" him, but
like all stout people he was too good-na-
tured 10 mind such thing.

perfectly satisfied with the condition of the
business before the COMM ssion.
The canvass was then commenced, and

BOTH COACHES DO GOOD WORK
Great Interest Centered in the Coming
Match Between Berkeley and
Stanford Universities.

KNOCK him down again. Downing, knock
him down again" cried the professor, in
voice that bad in IL both ring and vim.
That was the golden precept that was
being hammered into a lot of bright young
students at the Stanford University yester-
day afternoon.
Downing needed the masters words, and
fellow-student rolled on the ground. as
though hit by a ton of brick.
No, it was not strange that ambitious
youths should be taught amid academic
groves TO knock him down again." for
football makes healthy. vigorous and plucky
men. and strength and vigor do not destroy
ones liking Tor the Pierian spring or make
its waters sooner pail. Why should not
boys acquire health and manly pluck and

losophy?

give up the ball. When they did have to
McClung would not allow il, because he
wanted to see if ''those big men in the rush
line" could not stop the center play.
When thew saw that he meant business
the guards braced themselves and forced
the second eleven to kick Oscar TAYLOR

good style The ball was fumbled and
Henry secured II. making gain OF fifteen
yards for the University team. By series
of short runs Hunt, Wilder and Taylor
brought the pigskin within three yards of
the goal line and Hunt forced 1t through
the center for touchdown.
No goal was kicked and the second eleven
started the play at the center of the field.
After a few minutes of play. time was
called for the first half. and the pIayers
were given their well-earned rest. During
the interIBssion the college students along
side lines discussed their prospects of WIN
ming the big game. The general impression
seems 10 be that they will certainly score,
but as to winning they are doubtful about
it. They will not bet even money on the
result. but IL they can get odds they will
risk part OF their monthly allowance.
After ten minutes rest the players started
in with even more vim and energy than be-
fore. The second eleven wanted to score
and the regular team were anxious to repeat
their previous performance. The latter had
the ball and kept IL nearly the entire time
until they made their second touchdown.
This was secured by such a variety OF plays
that the siyle Of play which they will put
up against Stanford could not bs Judged
First they would try the tackles and the
ends and then the center would have to
yield TO their pushing. Hunt made q fine
run Of fifteen yards, unguarded. and was
handsomely downed by CARY.

and all the runs were made by good indi-

1t was not at ali sure. The university team
was hard pressed all the time, not only by

McClung. who never missed play or for
got to correct the one whose fault il was.

CARSON. Dec. Yesterday a prisoner
at the State prison. while working In the

cipitated him into the tank. He gave an
agODizing cry for help and several rushed
TO the spot and pulled him out His clothes
were at once removed and he was taken in
and covered with -four, this being the only
available remedy handy. His face and
body were horribly scalded and the left
arm was literally cooked to the bone. 1t

Twenty-four Of the tweniy-six young men
who eat at the training-table and wear

field. and q practice game between the two

supervision of MIR. Camp.
Daily practice begins now at $50 p. N.
because that is the hour the great game

Perhaps YOU think everybody about
Stanford University. from the cook to the
faculty, is not interested in football. You

seen the 80 nstty boys that lined the field
yesterday aud the hundred more boys, girls
and instructors punched on higher ground
and watching with keen interest the solu-
ton of the problem "How to beat

Everybody that was free from lecture
rooms was there, and they looked, laughed,
hoped and wondered.
The boys played and perspired and rolled

They always sweat like bay steers when

The slim. quiet-m annered coach didn't do
any playing. but he kept close to the boys,
