The morning call., 1894-12-09
ONLY ONE TOUCHDOWN MADE
Intense Feeling Was Displayed
Throughout the Game.
CAMPBELL, THEHAZED, ON DECK
The Gridiron Was too Soft and
Muddy for Any Serious
Accidents.

The Berkeley freshmen put Up hot
quality of football yesterday. They served
it in such large and juicy Jumps that the
Stanford fiTsI-year men were unable to
handle il.
Although Berkeley won the game by the
narrow margin of four points, yet the PaIo
Alto aggregation Kept the tigeT-egged
kickerS jumping around most of the time
Tor fear that The Stanford boys might
spring some unbeknown play and dash off
the field with the championship, a trick
that the cardinal people have worked more
than once.
To a rank outsider yesterdays game was
not of much Importance aside from the
fact that some very good football tactics
we're displayed; but 10 the freshieS every
thing was at stake.
OF course above all class prestige and
reputation were hanging fire. Next in or
der was alma mater. Was the Stanford
victory of Thursday last to receive another
coat of varnlsb or was it to be besmeared
with mud? Was Berkeley again to receive
another dru0bng at the hands Of its hated
rival or was there to be thin coating of
whiteWaSh sprayed over the recent de-
feat? These we're few of the interroga-
tories which were struggling within the
breasts of the mirthful collegians as they
took possession of the Haight-street grid
iron.
To speak out plainly the q. c. boys con-
sidered that they had an easy mark. 1t
was cInch game according 10 their way
OF thinking.
The Stanford boys were loath to give
much vent TO their sentiments. They ac-
knOwledged that they had not made much
OF preparation Tor the match, but they
thought that there might be some latent
talent which would be hurled into PROM
inen2s before the game was over. So they
kept quite mum.
When il was time to call the game there
were scarcely 800 roOters on the bleachers
and 10 the stand, but they were the ragu-
lar Old-Styled enthusiasts. They were
mostly of the fresh" order, and they
made more genuine noise than an audi
ence ten times its size. The freshies
booted aud howled and screeched and
screamed until a few were compelled to
suDsidize their friends to yell for them in
order that the enthusiasm might die out.
The only thing that would make the uni
verslty girls hold their breaths was when
HOckheimer or some other footbalist
made dash into the miniature lakes
which abOunded along the side lines after
the plgskin, and when Hocky reached the
bottom of une of these ponds thousand
pounds of living humanity would plant IL
self upon the unfortunate. This was ter
rlble. The first time the incident occurred
there was a short cessation in hostilities,
ana one maiden, greatly excited. wanted
10 know if there was any way of exca-
waiting HOcky without sending out alter
grappling-hooks. but it was not long be.
fora HOcky came TO the surface, and all
uDeaeiness was suspended.
The game started in just as the Berke-
ley boys predicted. They opened up things
with a rush and cot there. Only twelve
minutes had passed when the first touch
down was made, which won the game for
the yellow and blue. During the remainder
of the trouble no serious damage was
done to either side except that few
teDdons and bones were slightly displaced.
At $50 O'Clock twenty-five strapping
freshmen toed the mark, looking not so
awfully verdant, anyway not as green as
their sophomore friends have pictured
them. They were in the following order:
