A PLAYERS REVIEW.
Captain Ransome, the Berkeley crack,
was asked by The Herald to give his
views on the game and the work of the
Whittier lads, but he declined, saying
that the injury to his back had been SO
painful that after his retirement from
the gridiron he could not even watch the
game.
E. p. Kennedy, who played a star
game at quarter back. was good enough
to act as substitute for his captain for
The Herald, and said:
The Whittier's have q good team and
they played hard, clean game.
Every man went into every play with
q vim. The quarter back got the ball out
rapidly without fumbling.
The U. c. team showed lack Of practice
and allowed Whittier to make repeated
gains through the line Then, again
they made frequent fumbles, which
usually gave Whittier possession OF the
ball.
The Objectionable features were the
frequent calls for time, which are any
thing but interesting for spectators, and
which break up the work for a team
wishing to play fast ball.
Some of the pauses were unavoidable,
but most of them could be avoided #
the umpire and referee knew their
duties.
For the whittiers the right half back
played an exceptionally good game, ana
it was due to his work that they scored.
The u. c. team felt the loss of Captain
Ransome. who is tower of strength be-
hind the line, and who had to retire after
about twenty minutes of play.
To sum up, should say Whittier play
ed a bucking game, and the U. c. team
depended on running the ends.
Most of the gains and several long
runs were made around Whittier's lef:
end, while most of Whittiers gains, with
the exception of one long run, was made
through the left side of the U. c. line.
I should say the game would have
been very interesting had it not been for
the frequent unnecessary intermissions.

JONES IS MODEST
In speaking of the game last night
Bob Jones, the selored Whittier half
back, who was the hero Of the day, said:
I'VE were greatly surprised with the re-
suit of our contest with the Berkeley
team. We had expected TO be beaten
by a score of at least Is to 0, but had
never even hoped to bring the score as
close as has been done. We do not think
the Berkeley boys are such wonderful
players after all. Their last touch
down should have been prevented, and
could have been had we more closely
observed the football law to tackle
low We are highly satisfied with the
result Of the game and are only too anx-
ious to meet Berkeley again, if another
game can be arranged
Bob bore his honors modestly and
was very bashful about his own share
tremendously hard game ne had gone
through, he was very little battered, and
declared that he was only sorry he
couldn't do it again tomorrow.
PUNTS
THAT colored boy has the strength Of
an OK, the dash of a tiger, the slipperi-
ness of an eel and the pluck Of a lion,''
was the sagacious way in which Ber-
kelley kicker sized up the combination OF
Jones' football virtues.
"Oh. get up Bob; do, dear Bob" was
the plaintVe cry that came from a fair
damsels tongue as she saw Whittier's
hero temporarily laid out and trembled
lest he should have to retire.
The first law of q II good sports en- is
to regard the ruling of an umpire as the
law OF heaven, and only hobo sports and
ignorant kids question his decision.
No referee OF umpire is infallble, but
when he makes mistake the crowd
makes bigger one when they yell and
hoot.
With three men on one side like Bob
Jones an opposing team might as we'll
stay In the pavilion.
The visiting Whittier boys, several
hundred in number. behaved them
selves excellently well.
John Z. Brink was as usual on hand
in time to play the role that he so ably
fills as censor of sport.
l. To report football game satisfac-
torily it is pres umably essential to suck
at an empty pipe throughout.
Ransome had to follow the example
of Ajax, but he didn't sulk in his tent.
! The yellow and blue boys played a
slkillful game throughout and won out
by sheer superior science
Much speculation was indulged in as
to the contents of the Whittier boys
milk cans, but still more interest was
cel.tered in that mysterious white bot
| tie that came from the Berkeley doctors
satchel.
There is a young fellow named Jones,
Who has very remarkable bones.
The power of his arm
Gave Berkeley alarm;
| They thought they were charging grea.
stones.
