RELIANCE WINS.
Brilliant Football Game
at Haight Street.
STANFORD WAS OUTCLASSED.
The Oakland Boys Were Too
Strong for Them.
fRICK DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF.
Best interference on the Part of
Reliance Ever Seen
Here.
FRICK DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF

"Rahl Rail- Rail- Who are Who
are Who are we? We are t. a.
&. Oakland.' was the yell which
resounded over the HaIghI street
gridir0n yesterday afternoon. 1t was
there Stanford met its second Water
loo and like that historic battle it was a
hard-fought contest. Neither side threw
up the sponge until time was called at the
end of the second half. as neither Captains
Downing or Frick Considered The game
won or lost during any part of the
struggle. When Referee Pringle called
time al the END of the second half Reliance
had scored fourteen points TO Stanford's
six
The weather was something immense
for the game. 1t was neither too warm DOR
windy. There was a refreshing breeze
continually blowing over the scene of
trouble, W hich kept the players in risky
condition.
The attendance was very large consider
ing the fact that a Stanford attraction
never draws like a berkeley announce
ment, as the latter institution j. an older
one and has more friends and graduates in
the city.
The Stanford boys, bedecked with car
dinal trimmings and armed with large
and melodious fshhOrns. came down 10
The game in full force. They took posses.
sion of the grand stand. and when the
excitement was running high tney bounded
out of the Enclosure like bevy of startled
deer.
The 0aklanders fiocked along she side
lines where they could cheer t0eir pigskIn
representatives more effectively. At times
their football spirits became so exuberant
That Chief Crowley'S buecoats were
tossed about like chips upon choppy
duck pond.
Reliance won the game, and justly so.
The Oakland boys excelled their rivals at
every point Their interference was nearly
perfect. Buck" Whitehouse oui-kicked
and Ont-punted Cochran at all stages of
the game. If Stanford does not secure
better fuilback before the great game 1t
will be greatly Handicapped with the re-
doubtable RanSOme opposing them in tue
van.
Reliance's line was stronger than Stan
lords. The Oakland boys would repeat
edly make holes in Stanford's ceuter,
while the Palo Alto boys seemed unable
TO gain any ground on mass plays. The
only way the Stanford players made any
progress was 10 work the ends.
The individual playing in many in
stances was brilliant. Captain Frick was
the lion of the field.
Heretofore old Warborse Mcmillan has
carried oil all the honors, nut this time the
crown fell on another brow. The sturdy
little captain inspired on his men by his
own Work. Every time be was given the
ball IL seemed that he was sure to advance
at least i've yards in spite OF the resistance
offered. During tie last half Mr.. Frick
became real living terror. Whec the
Palo Alto boys saw him make move they
would yell. LOOK out for Frick."
Captain Downing, though ecIipsed by his
opposing iield-marshal, put I'D very
creditabIe game. He was always found in
the thickest OF the scrimmage. He made
a magnificent run which was one OF the
OF the features OF the game
For the OaklaDders Brick Whitehouse
and Mcmillan were good ground-gainers.
When either one struck Stablords line a
man was seen TO retire as if hit by a pro-
ject lie from dynamite gun. Franken-
heimer and HARRISON supported Captain
Downing we'll They piayed very
plucky game. Reynolds made one GO-yard
run, which resulted in a touchdown. This
act alone made him the hero among the
StanIordites. When The little halfback
had concluded his marvellous rum he was
received with great eclat. Reynolds
played winning game all through the
contest.
The Reliance team was made up of the
same players as in the last game with the
exception of Baker. who took Hutchinson's
place at left end. He filled the bill to the
satisfa' ton of Oakland.
On Tue otanlOTu Hue tHef6 nave Deen
made number OF changes since the first
game. Hazard played center in place Of
DoWing, who took Cochran's place at left
tackle. The latter was tried at fnIlback.
Quar- erback Code has been replaced by
HARRISON, and Russell by Bernard.
Thomas was also compelled TO make way
for Frlckert.
Whether some of these changes have
strengthened the eleven is very doubtful
TO the minds of some of the Stanford bows
The team work of the eleven has GER
tainly improved under the coaching of Mr..
Camp. but not as much as had been antici-
pated.
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock the two elevens
lined up as follows:
