SAN FRANCISCO, Nou. 30.-Stanford, 9;
University of California, 6, was tho
score of desperately fought football
game this afternoon. A drizzling rain
sifted down all day, but 10000 people
Sat in the stands and on the bleachers
and bawled for their favorites. The
grounds had been soaked by five days.
rain, and patches of mud and puddles
of water were numerous.
Scientific play was out of the ques.
tion, and the players slipped and fell
and fumbled in their efforts to get over
the ground.
Although the game was not called
until O'Clock, the crowd started out to
the field before IL O'Clock, and when the
game was started nearly every
seat was filled. Stanford was the
favorite in betting. two to one,
but the conditions were against them,
and, as predicted. the Berkeley men
proved to be the better mud-larks.
Neither side attempted any tricks,
and the game was simply struggle and
push, with an occasional attempt at q
run around the ends.
During the first half Stanford played
in hard luck. A brisk wind was blow
ing against them, rain was driving in
their faces, and they had to work the
ball up hill towards the California's
goal. Berkeley also suffered in the loss
OF Hunt, their star player, who WAS in
lured and compelled to retire shortly
after the game commenced. Smith
took his place at the left end.
The game commenced with the ball in
Stanford's possession. At the start off
Walton got through Berkeley's line and
made 40 yards, but Stanford soon lost
the ball on downs and Berkeley punted
it from the field for 30 yards. Stanford
could not get back the lost ground, and
Berkeley worked the ball to their oppo-
nents' goal, securing touchdown.
Taylor. kicked a goal and the score
stood: University OF California, q;
Stanford, O..
Stanford made desperate effort to
too soon, though by bucking Berkeley'H
left end they made great gains.
| The second half commenced with the
wind and slope in Stanford's favor, and
by Walton's great run around the end
got the ball within five yards of Berk-
eley's goal, but Walton slipped and fell
and Stanford lost the ball.
AT this juncture Benson, of Berkeley,
and Code, of Stanford, were disqualified
for fighting, their places being taken by
Wilder and Harrelson. Easton, of the
Berkeleys, was also ruled off for rough
play, and Foultz took his place.
Berkeley punted the ball but Stanford
got it and by determined rushes worked
to within foot of the opponents goal.
Here the most deperate struggle of the
game took place, but Stanford rushed
the ball over the line. Kennedy kicked
. goal and the score was tied.
During the remainder of the second
half neither side could gain the advan-
tage and time was called with the ball
exactly in the center of the field.
No one in the city today could be un-
aware that the great football match be-
tween the State and Stanford UNIVERSE
ties was on the tapis. Scores OF stu-
dents OF the rival institutions paraded
the streets in the forenoon bedecked
with ribbons of their college colors. BY
IL O'Clock the crowd around the Baldwin
hotel, headquarters of the State univer-
sitv team, was 30 dense that only with
the greatest difficulty could passers. by
get through. At l O'Clock the Berkeley
eleven hustled into coaches and, escorted
by bowling mob, started for the
grounds. Their two disabled men,
Morse and Hunt, were seen to be among
the number.
The Stanford team took less osten-
tatious departure for the gridiron. which
was the Mecca toward which all san
Francisco seemed to be making ito way.
The street car iinea and buses ~.te all
taxed to the utmost, and every private
conveyance seemed to be in the process
sion bound for the Haight street
grounds.
In betting circles least affected by
college patriotism, Stanford took the
precedence in betting. odds of 2 to
being freely offered.
During the first half Berkeley out
played Stanford at every point. When
the half was ended, the men who had
wallowed in the mud and slueh looked
more like scavengers or sewer hands
at the end Of hard days work than
like the young men who entered the
field As minutes before in bright new
uniforms. They were encased with
mud and blackened and dripping with
sush from head to foot.
