The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-11-12
WON BY THE STANFORDS.
Reliance Football Team of Oakland
Badly Whipped.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 1.-THE weather was
clear and warm here to-day; in fact, uu-
comfortably warm-more like July day
than a day in November-but the attend
ance at the football contest between the
Stanford team and the Reliance team of
Oakland was not large. Almost all who
were present, however. were enthusiastic.
and the crowd made up in noise what it
lacked in numbers.
A carryail full of red-ribboned young
lady students from Stanford added to the
general din. during the exciting plays, with
[ be tinhorn blowing. The game was one
sided and slow. owing to the fact that the
Reliance team was seemingly not in any
kind of condition. Their opponents &C
cused them of making fir equent fents a!
being injured. when, to gain wind. they
would take full advantage of the five min
utes' time limit allowed. Hunt and Ran
som of the University of California team
were present and did duty as referee and
umpire, respectively.
Captain Taylor. fulback of the Reliance
team. played well, most OF his gains being
made through the center. The halfback
position in this team was well played, two
good runs being made. The centerm an,
bike Sullivan, did good work. Porter and
Montell Taylor of the Reliance team were
injured during the irst half OF the game
and had to retire. Taylor, who is a
brother of the captain of the team, had
| his nose broken during an uupleasantness
with FrankenheimeI while some hot tack
| ling was in progress in the first half. This
caused some excitement and the ground
quickly filled with spectators, but il was
soon cleared, the injured man was removed
where he could get the attendance of a
surgeon and the playing was resumed.
TaylOr's injury was caused by blow from
the fist of the opposing left half. The
Stanford boys expressed much regret
at the occurrence, and declare that strictly
intercollegiate games are never marred by
such unpleasant incidents.
In the playing the defensive work OF the
Stanfords was much better than the Offen-
sive. The playing of Kennedy, Walton
and FraDkenheimer was brilliant. Wal
toms gains were made around the end with
good Interference. He took the ball fire.
Quently and made long runs. Kennedy
went through some strong lines and m AIDE
especially long gains. His usual exhibit
ton of good interference and skillful
lodging called forth much enthusiastic ap-
plause from the spectators. He often got
past the opposing man while running with
the ball. Frankenheimer, at left half, dis
tinguished himself as usual by his fine de-
fensive work. His low and bard tackling
downed his ian almost every time. Spald-
ing, new man at the game, strengthened
his chances for a regular position in the
first eleven by his work at the right end
! in the second half to-day. Pop Bliss did
coaching duty for the Stanfords during
! the game. The line buttiDg of the Stan
! ford team was fine.
The score of the game was "a to nothing
| 10 favor of the Stanlords. The latter team
| made sixteen points In the first half and
eighteen in the second. Captain Wilson
of the Stanfords played right end in the
! first half and gave place TO Spalding In the
second half.

! lows: z. Downing, center; Mcmillan, left
guard; Burnett, right guard; Cochran, left
| tackle; Whltehouse, right tackle; c. Down
| ing, left end; Wilson and SDalding, right
