Whitehouse and Mcmillan were util-

strong game. Buck WhitebOuse had the

ms was the only touchdown made
during the first half. The ball, however.
was put IN play again at the center of the
held. cochran kicked off 1Or forty yards,
ana Sherrard returned it to twenty yards.
Reliance resurted to IFS old tactics, and
began Go make inruads through Stanford's
line. fortunately for the wearerS of the
cardinal, Reliance got off side. and the
pIgskln reverted 10 Stanford. Little Rev.
nolds managed TO s1uirm through Oak
lands guards for ten yards. Smith, the
big left guard on Reliance. lbecame so
terribly mixed I'D in the hunt after Rey-
nolds that 1t was necessary To call halt
and apply some restoratives. While field
doctors were flliDg the afflicted ones
lungs with air by means of huge fans, the
overtime bay-rooters rent the air with
vOciferOus cheers.
Stanford soon lost the ball ON wretched
tumble and kick by Cochran.
The rest of the half was cha, acteriZed
by some very poor footbal-paying.
Cochran made failure out of every punt
or KICK which he attempted, while Reli-
ance would necessarily get off side.
THESE combinations OF errors kent the
ball circulating about the middle of the
field without getting dangerously near
either goal line. When time was called
the ball was in the center of Stanford's
territory.
During the ten minutes intermission
between the halves the Stanford boys ap-
peared to be very confident OF winning
Out. They claimed that their kickers
finished well. Even the most sanguine
admirers of Oakland conceded that the
result OF the game was then very doubt
tul. The second half started off Just as
the Palo Alto boys predicted. They
opened the playing with slam bang gait.
Wnitehouse kicked off twenty-five yards.
Spaulding caught the sphere on the wing
and sprInted up the field for twenty
yards. He was brought down to the
ground by Whitney. Reliance got off
side and Stanford was credited with five
yards more. HARRISON ducked through
tle line LOT gOoQ gain.
Stanford was at last compelled to kick.
and the b IL landed squarely in WaltOn's
hands. but FraDkenheimer tackled him be-
fore alton was able to get out of his
tracks. lt was an elegant run for the lit
tie halfhack.
The ball was now near Reliance's goal.
brace up, boys" yelled Captain Frick,
and the command was promptly heedeu,
and before the SJanfOrds were aware of
the fact the pigskin was only few feet
from that fatal goal line. Fortune smiled
again ur0n the cardinal, and the ball went
TO Stanford on a tumble.
Downing broke The ice for Stanford and
dashed around Reiiance's left end for
sixty yards. lt was the star run of the
struggle thus far. The game was now
getting too exciting for the cOlegiaies to
Keep their seats III the grand stand and
they swarmed down upon the field. Rey-
noids soon followed with q sensational
run of sixty yards, which carried the ball
over the goal line for the first touchdown
for Stanford. The goal was kicked and
the score tied. Stamford 6, Reliance G.
III was now The unanimous opinion that
Stanford would win. They were certainly
playing hard game. But there were
others who were just as determined that
they shouldn't carry off the glory. The
ball was now put in play and some very
fierce tumbling was done in the center Of
the field without gain for either side.
There were only ten mors minutes in
which to continue the play, and the ball
was still in the center of the field. Every.
body now looked for another tie game.
Captain Frick began to PLAY the game of
his lie. He seemed to carry the whole
eleven Stanford men down the field. He
would plunge aud dive through the strug-
Cling mass, aud every time for a gain OF
five or len yards. Stanford by hard work
held the Oaklanders up for four downs on
its fve-yard line. Cochran was called
upon TO save the day by kicking the ball
up tae field. but he made low punt and
the pigskin bounded back behind the
goal. This counted as a touch-back for
Reliance. Score: Reliance S, Stanford G.
Stanford was now entitled to free kick,
which it executed. but the Reliances were
in for another touchdown in the few min
uies that were LETT.
Few people ever dreamed that there
would be another goal kicked. but Captain
Frick thought differently. The orders
were given and back came Frick, White
house and Mcmillan, plungiDg, diving and
kicking for five and ten yard gains, and
before Stanford was aware of the fact tho
Reliances had scored the second touch
down and won the second game from the
cardinal. Brick" of course, kicked a
goal. Score: Reliances Il. Stanfords 6.
