their men got around the ends, but
there was no one there to help them
along and the runners wers generally

COMMENT ON THE GAME.
Professor Stagg. the athletic mentor
of the Chicago team, had this to say
about the game:
II felt confident from the first that
the Chicago team would win the battle.
despite the fact that the Stanfords
largely outweighed their competitors.
Yet l knew that Walter Camp had
coached the Stanfords, and that as re-
suit the team would prove no dsspicable
competitor. This was proved in the
first half. which waa stubbornly coDS
tested, and in which the honors were
nearly even. Stanford's defense in the
first half WAS euperb. Their tackling
was low and hard, and the whole team
to man took part in it. In fact the
/ defense Was so strong il had notice.
able effect on the Chicago offensive play
in that the players did not go in with as
much dash as in the second half. Ii
anything the Stanfords had moro dash
in the first half than the Chicegos.
TACKLED sUPERBLY.
"My opinion is that Stanford was
weaker in offensive play during the
first half than in their defensive play.
This was due in part think. to the use
OF poor tactics or weakness, and to the
excellent defense Of Chicago. Too much
cannot he said in praise Of Stanford's
superb tackling in the frat hall, and
had it been continued in the second
half the score would have been closer
than il was. Itseems o mo thst STAN
