The morning call., 1894-11-30

several hundred Berkeleyites who we're
seated on benches at the south end OF the
field and then taken up by others who had
taken positions in the grand stand.
The mascot was little lad ABOUT o
years old uamed John Cheney. He was
dressed in full football gear and appeared
most comical as he strutied on the grass
in his balloon-shaped knee brooches and
puffy hair.
On the opposite side OF the field and i'm
mediately facing the Berkeley teams mas
cot was the mascot of the Stanford eleven,
a magnificent specimen of the st. Bernard
dog VINO wore collar not or gold but of
a color which came near to that of the
precious metal. He was the observed of
all observers and particularly when he
waRged his red-stringed tail in approval of
Stanford's good luck in securing touch
down and goal kick.
The game-at least the first half-was
very interesting and seemed TO please
even those who did not know which con-
stituted the most pOints-a goal kick or a
touchdown.
There was great rejoicing among the
wearers Of the gold and blue when the
Berkeley boys started out at winning
pace and kept the pigskn within close to
the goal that the Stanford team was pro-
tecGing.
Camps men. however, soon discovered a
means of outgeneraling their opponents,
and by adopting new tactics which puzzled
the Stalwarts Of Berkeley they forced the
ball back until it got within few yards of
the ~. O." sticks, where most stubborn
and determined effort was made by the red
stockinged men to gain touchdown.
The Berkeley boys were playing great
ball, and by good puntng managed to
send the leather back to almost the center
OF the held, where it was held until again,
being kicked low by one of the Berkeley
men, the ball was spleudidly hand
stopped by HARRISON of Stanford, who
sent 1t back several yards and near the
touchline, where it was fallen upon by
Cochran, who rolled with It into touch,
scoring the first points in favor of Stan
ford. In the second half the Berkeley
team made great attempt to tie the STAN
ford score, but failed in the endeavor.
When the whistle sounded the end of
the great intercollegiate football game of
the West the friends of the Stanford
eleven acted like wild men. Hats that
were made brilliant by the addition of red
| bands and canes from which f1Uated red
streamers were thrown recklessly in the
air. and the band played "Rah! Rah! Rah !!
Stanfordw while the little girls in red
wore on their cheeks the color of the sell
ting sun and smiled winning smile for the
great eleven Of Palo Alto.
Last evening the elevens who wore the
blue and gold and the cardinal, with their
numerous friends, took in" the Cali
fornia Theater and made spirited the
scene By yells and occasional blasts of tin
horns during the performance.
1t gees without saying that Thanks
giving of '94 will go down in the football
| history OF the West as being red-letter
day in college sport.
Although defeated in one game for the
trophy, which must be won three times
before ir will 60 into possession of any
team, the eleven IF the University of Cal
ifornla took their medicine like good men,
as they are. and acknowledged that they
we're conquered fairly, but. as Superin-
teDdent w. Kennedy of the Olympic Club
remarked, mot without a struggle
The tball season over, the we'll
trained and muscular athletes, who looked
wild and wooly yesterday, will now have
an opportunity of visiting some of the
tonsorial artists who are looking for seal ps
and then knuckle down to the grinding
stone until the kicking fever shall again
ID axe its appearance.
