MILITARY KIcKERs.
Fifth Regiment, Boys Brigade, De.
feated the Second Regiment at
Football.

This side OF the bay as represented by
the Fifth Regiment OF the Boys Brigade
triumphed over the other side and its
Second Regiment yesterday afternoon in
a closely contested football match at
Central Park.
The Alameda team sporting the blue
and gold early secured touchdown, and
converted it into goal. After the second
kickoff, however, the home team suddenly
altered its tactics of close-in plays, and
with sensational dash Bishop circled the
left end, veered further and further out,
avoiding several desperate attempts to
tackle him. and finally fell over the line
carrying his tackler with HIM, and scor-
ing touchdown after a brilliant run of
thirty yards.
Bacon failed to kick the goal, and from
then until late in the second half the
Alameda team held its lead of two points.
The winning score came like the memor-
able intercollegiate blocked kick of '94,
when Fiedert stopped a punt for Stanford
and Cochrane pursued the rebound over
the line and gave the game to the wearers
OF the red. Alameda, after stopping
several dangerous advances near her
15-yard line, got the ball and Dinsmore
Immediately tried to punt. Specht broke
through the line like rocket and Duden
was the successful man in the general
scramble back of the goalposts. Bacon
kicked the goal and red and gold was four
points in the lead.
Little time remained. Alameda kicked
Off and set lively pace. while the Second
Regiment band poured out Sousa with
the frantic effort of desperate hope.
Hamilton caught and returned the kick,
sending the ball we'll into Alameda terri
tory, where Louis Ward, in two telling
dashes in succession, caused Alameda to
long Tor just few more seconds. But a
tumble gave the ball to the local team; the
band blared and wheezed down to full
stop, and in moment or two the whistle
blew, and the youthful guards that had
patrolled the side lines In military dignity
trailed their guns in their eager rush to
join the hilarious crowd thar su-ged to-
waro the dressing-rooms.
Davidson, Duden and Bishop of the San
Francisco eleven are members of the cham
pion I. M. q. A. team, while Captain Tay-
!or or the Alameda team is senior at
Berkeley and P. Brodwell is sophomore
at the State University.
Following are the details of the game
ana the two elevens as they faced each
other. stripped weights only are gwen.
