more the blue and gold sought STAN

Good work was being done, but a
high pass to Hall spoiled the play and
! again the ball was lost. Here Cottor
made the star buck Of the game. With
the strong interference and q man by his
side to hold him up he dragged the
Berkeley tackles thirty yards down the
field. Fisher bucked again for gains
and Cotton carried 1t in for the third
touchdown, Murphy missing an easy
goal.

bled and the line up-kicked to Hall.
Catching Murphys punt, Hall started
through a scattered field. Stanford men
were driven right and left, and the ball
was not downed until it had gone five
yards beyond its starting point. The
first half was called with the ball on
lStandfords twenty-five line and in
Berkeley's possession. Score. 16 too.

the Stanford line for gains. Hopper
skirted right end for fifteen and Hall
was forced to kick. With some heavy
work, of which Parker's ten-yard run
was the only feature, the ball finally
went over to Berkeley on downs. Hall
worked it back five and then time was
c,lled to allow Cotton a consultation with
the doctor. He had received severe
bruise over the eye, but continued in the
game. Ludlow worked the tackles for
small gains and Hall took 1t for another
Of his characteristic plays, working
right end for a twenty y-five-yard gain.
Here Jeff's knee compelled him to re-
tire. The ball was now on the fifteen
yard line and Berkeley worked hard to
force it over, but without avail. The
leather went to Stanford and Murphy
kicked thirty yards. Hall ran 1t in ten
and then again they tried for gains
through Stanford's center. Whipple
saved 1t by taking the end for ten yards.
Here the Berkeley quarter kick was
worked to good advantage, and Whipple
made twenty-yard gain. Then again
the ball went to the cardinals on downs,
and after a 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
touchdown.

line, in all a run of sixty-f1ve yards
through a scattered field.
DAILY sent it in on nine and followed
that with a four-yard run, when Cotton
took it over for another touchdown.
Murphy again kicked out, and then
made his goal, score 2S to 0.
Berkeley kicked off again, and after a

CORNELL-KEYSTO

defeated Cornell this afternoon on
Franklin field by the score of to 0. 1t
was by far the fastest game that has
been played here this season and shows
Cornell to have a remarkably strong
team.
| There was less enthusiasm manifested
by the 10000 persons present than on last
Saturday because during the first half
Cornell did all the playing, but in the
second half the Quakers used their
guards back formation with terrible ef-
feet on the Cornell line. After nearly
every scrimmage this formation was
used, there would be a Cornell man

Interruptions were the only drawbacks
