PRINCETON IN. j., Oct. 16-The IN
dian and the Anglo-Saxon met in bat
tie on the gridiron to-day, and the
noble rednen were trampled in the sod
once more by the giants who wear the
molesl1in of Old Nassau. The contest
was one Of the most furious in history
of gridiron sport. The score of IS to
0 would indicate comparatively easy
victory for the tigers, but never was
a victory for the orange and black at
tended with more effort and injured
men. Unlike his ancestor, the Indian
fought man to man with a fierceness
which perhaps he has never before
shown on the gridiron. Cheering thou
sands on the stands witnessed the great
struggle.

ball game to-day between University Of
California and the Reliance club of

| weeks ago the same teams played and
Reliance won by a score of 10 to 0. To-
day the score was a tie, each side scor-
ing four points, the ball being most Of
the time in Reliance territory. The
match was spirited, hotly contested and
at times very exciting, remarkable for
many costly fumbles, especially on the
part of Reliance and for it's occasional
long and brilliant runs The California
team undoubtedly showed marked inn
provement, and those who supposed
Stanford would have a walk-over in the
big Thanksgiving Day game have now
modified their opinions.

High School boys of Oakland and the
San Rafael High School football teams
met on the San Rafael gridiron to-day.
