man Of business. He smiled confidently as
he watched his men at practice.
As the StaDfords chased the ball about the
field they were encouraged by the braying
CT huge automatic horn perched on the
top OF their coach That horn must have
been ten feet long at the least calculation,
and when it turned itself loose in real earn
est it drowned out all other noises At
times. however. felt grim satisfaction in

who worked il would go home deaf. ! think
he met with the fate be deserved, tor /
shouted at him as nc drove out and he
seemed not 10 hear me.
Then came the Olympics In a red coach
pulled by two consumptiye looking horses,
and they too were given an ovation. There
was not quite such roar to greet them,
but il was plainly evident that they were
not without q host or friends and admirers,
and they looked pleased and confident as
they tumbled over the fence. As they went
racing out into the field could not but con-
trast them with the Stanfords. They were
big stalwart fellows, every one Of them,
broad Of shoulder, clean limbed and long
armed. Under those white sweaters one
could see that there was weight, strength
and endurance. but there was not that cat
like quickness of action and eagerness for
work which characterized the smaller fel-
lows.
II was evident TO me that the contest was
TO be one OF superior weight aud brute force
against science and activity.
And this the game developed. From
start 10 finish ii was buckiDg game on the
part of the Olympics. They played like
men who realized the value Of their superior
weight and sought by means of IL to break
through their opponents line. Taylor of
! the Olympics In particular distinguished
himself Ia this class of work and two or
three times he succeeded in breaking his
own way with the ball
The superior tsckling and interference of
the Stanfords. however, was apparent at
all times, and that they did not get the de-
cision was due 70 the heavy weight Of the
men they had to contend with.
The one great feature Of the game, !
should say. and the one that deserved the
most praise for the man who made the
play was the great run made by HARRISON
of the Stanfords in the second half. With
the ball within fifteen yards Of the Olym-
pie goal HARRISON got itand started like a
flash. Before the Olympics could realize it
lie was away across the field going like the
wind. accompanied by Code, Kennedy and
Downing Time after time the Olympics
sought to save touchdown by tackling,
| but Camps training was evident and the
interference Of Code and Kennedy saved
| HARRISON, who made the clean run of
eighty-fve yards and touched the ball down
amid the yells of the audience. which
| fairly howled themselves hoarse.
1t was one of the greatest runs ever seen
in football game in the United States,

| Another great run and one not to be over
looked was made by Frankenheimer OF the
Stanfords. don't know just how It was
done, but / do know that ii was grand play
| FrankeDheimer is little fellow-not much
larger than pound Of soap-and early in
the game be had met with a severe accident.
| An ugly scalp wound had been inflicted in a
| scramble and surgeon was called In TO
| patch him up. An ordinary man would
hayeput on substitute, but the little fellow
seemed to think nothing OF it, and worked
| from that time like demon. II occurred
| to me that one blow like that would have
| sent me home to bed for a week.
| At any rate Frankenheimer was game as
! a chicken-cock. and when be got the ball In
| the second half he broke away and went
| like deer. With the quickness of a cat he
eluded the big Olympics. and when at last
! he was tackled and went down, he had car
| ried the ball fifty yards and seemed to think
nothing Of the awful fall he received.
| Another splendid run Of tbirty-fye yards
was made by Taylor OF the OIympIcs, the
| only one made by his team.
| From start to finish it was game Of force
| against cunning and activity. The Stanford
men were like steel springs. The Olympics
| were slow and ponderous. Stanford played
fast and furious. The Olympies bucked
the center like so many machines.
The play opened against the Stanfords
| They could not at first withstand the awful
rushes OF the Olympics. Their center was
broken time after time. but their tackles
fought like tigers and contested every inch
of the ground. Inch by inch, yard by yard,
the Olympics forced the little university
men back and gained a safety touchdown.
The temporary defeat put the Stanfords
on their mettie. and they went at the ball
| like cyclone. They had sized up the
| Olympics' play and were on their guard.
| Code. the captain of the team, with his
| blonde hair streaming In the wind, was
| everywhere. He urged his men on and
! played like an old-stager The result was
that they took the ball with rush, and
forced it past the Olympcs to a touch,
down. Then Code missed hard kick for
the goal, and the score stood to-

missed their great kicker, Jones, who is laid

There was an interval OF rest. and at II
