it over, but without avail. The leather
went to Stanford and Murphy kicked
thirty yards. Hall ran it in ten, and
again they tried for gains through Stan
ford center. Whipple saved it by TAX
ing the end for ten yards. Here the
Berkeley quarter kick was worked to
good advantage, and Whipple made a
twenty-yard gain. Then again the ball
went to the cardinals on downs, and
after series of heavy plunges on the
Berkeley line, the ball rested on the
Berkeley Vineyard line, where Daily
took it around right end for another
touch down. Murphy kicked out to
Fickert and then made an easy goal.
Score % to o.
Ludlow kicked off to Murphy who re-
turned the punt, and the teams lined up
on Berkeley's thirty five yard line. Hall
punted to Murphy, who made the star
run of the day. Taking the ball, with
the ends close upon him, he lodged back
and then cut straight away, zigzagging
down the field and finally being downed
on the enemy's awenty-yard line, in all
run of sixty-five yards through scat
tered field.
DAILY sent it in on nine, and followed
that with four-yard run, when Cotton
took it over for another touch down.
Murphy again kicked out, and then
made his goal.

Berkeley kicked off again. and after
series of runs and bucks on both sides,
the ball lay on the Stanford forty-yard
line
But two minutes remained of the sec
ond half, when the hastily erected and
imperfectly secured roof of a section of
the south grand stand collapsed with
crash, and scantlings and boards, to-
gether with a score of persons who had
improperly been permitted to take up
positions on the roof, were precipitated
on the heads of a number of sitting
spectators beneath Fortunately the lat
ter, with rare possession, retained
their seats, and a stampede, with its
inevitable attendant horrors, was
averted Several women tainted, and
a number sustained slight injuries, Mrs.
J. H. Mccormick being the most ser1-
ously hurt. However. she and all the
others quickly yielded to treatment, and
were able to proceed to their homes un-
assisted.
Play was not resumed, and the second
half lasted only thirty-three minutes,
the final score being:
Stanford 2S, University of Cali

RELIANCE COLORS LOWERED.
BUTTE (Mont), Nov. 25.-The pow
erful Reliance football club of Oakland,
Cal, after defeating all of the eleyens
en- the Pacific Coast. including those Of
the big colleges, lowered it's colors to
Butte this afternoon by a score of 6 to
| in the most stubbornly fought contest
that has ever been seen on a gridiron
| that is famous for bitter and exciting
encounters. Two thousand people at
| tended the game. and cheered them
selves hoarse over Buttes victory over
| the Californians in four engagements
The visitors were weakened to some
extent by the absence of some of their
cracks-Morse. Smith, Oliver and Frs
| kine-but the Buttes were also short
| four of their strongest men. Hall, Las
Well, Perham and Gillis, the latter ac-
knowiedged to be the greatest half back
| in the West, so that neither team had
a rU hing fn lni N Of;
being short on its star players
The ground was covered with snow.
which rendered brilliant individual
playing almost out of the question. so
that the contest was confined almost
entirely to line bucking. and the noun
taineers had much the best of it at that
branch of the game.
Slater, Dygert and Harrington dis
tinguished themselves by tearing great
holes throuSh the Reliance line. and
made steady gains. Arlett and Carter
We're the only ones amongst the Cali
fornians who We're able to break through
the Butte line. They failed frequently
to make the required gain, and Reliance
lost the ball several times on downs
When the half ended neither side had
scored.
L,
Jones, Harrington and Richards carried
the ball eighty yards in a succession of
smashes against the Californians and
Slater carried it to a touch down. Ben
son kicked the goal, making the score
6 to O. Reliance would have been shut
out. but for a brilliant play of the
chance variety by Carter, who broke
through between Ellis and Jones, guard
and tackle, and ran thirty-five yards to
a touch down, making the only long run
of the day. Code punted the pigskin
out to Sherman. who muffed it, making
the score g to 4.
At one time what everyb body took to
be a safety was made by Reliance to
save a touch down. 1t was so close to
the line however, and matters were SO
much mixed, that it was impossible to
tell whether Reliance had carried the
hall over. or whether 1t had been Jug
rled in the punching UP. 1t was dis
puted. and the points were not allowed,
though many came away under the Inn
pression that the score was s TO A.
When the game closed the ball was on
Reliance's ten-yard line.
