FOOTBALL AT THE BAY
Reliance Defeats the Soldiers bv a
Score of 8 to O.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 90 - At
Recreation Park this afternoon in
probably the most laughable football
match ever played on this coast. the
least formidable Reliance aggregation
that has worn the clubs suits this sea-
son defeated the army team a cosmo-
politan collection of hardy. mature en-
listed men from the Preside Barracks.
The score was 8 to O.
A neatly and easily played but un-
hindered and generally unexpected
drop kick, executed by little Platt from
the twenty-yard line. was responsible
for the odd number in the score, that
had stood to o until the middle of
the second half.
The playing was wretched on both
sides, but If the players did not see
good football they witnessed unusual

approach of the time of the conven-

bringing in a number of Senators and

Senator Morrill,, the venerable Chair
man of the Senate Committee on FL

of the prospects Of financial or cur
rency legislation, he declined to commit
himself, beyond expressing the opin-
ion that the session would be quiet
one, and that the indications We're not
especially favorable to accomplish
much on financial legislation.
Senator Carter stated empahtically
that there would be no abatement in
the efforts of the Republican party to
secure an international agreement, as
now pledged to do by the St. Louis
platform, but he stated that he was
not at liberty to divulge the plans of
the American Commission, so far as
he was familiar with them. He said
he had no doubt of the perfect good
faith of the Administration, and he wes
still hopeful of favorable results.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 20.-A meet
ing of the Board of Location of the
National Guard was held to-day, and
the question of the assignment of the

discussed.
The board was unanimously of the
opinion that the Marion, on account
OF her size, was especially suitable for
service at San Francisco. Tt was
agreed that the Pinta would meet the
requirements of the San Diego Divis-

finally decided to ask the Navy De-

Princeton was too eager and Edwards
interfered with the ball, and Yale goi
five yards for the off side play. This
put the ball within twelve inches of the
soal, from which point Dudley easily
went over the line for the first and only
touch down.
Cadwallader kicked a goal without
trouble.
To be sure Yale did not score another
point, but the Princeton team saw some
of the most marvellous rushes of the sea
son, when Desaulles, catching the ball
on long punts by Wheeler, lodged the
entire Princeton team and ran once
forty yards and again thirty yards,
which proved the longest dashes in the
game.
But even this did not entirely discour-
age the Tigers Led by Kelly, the team
took a brace that has seldom been
equalled. with the lends back and
we'll punched, the Tigers plowed
through the Yale line for gains of five
and ten yards, until the ball was on
Yale's 25-yard line, when miserable
tumble lost Princeton the ball, and per-
haps the game.

Twice Yale paced the Princetons' five
yard line only to be thrown back for
al loss. Barnard was injured, and
Ayers took his place. Booth came of
the field. and Dickey went in to center.
But still, with these fresh men, the
Tigers could not get near the Yale line.
Five minutes before time was called
Yale made her last attempt at scoring.
Benjamin could do nothing against
Princeton's line, but Dudley, Rogers
and Mcbride We're sent through for
gains. Dudley seemed to find the best
holes, while Rodgers duplicated his
first run through Holt for ten yards,
until the ball for the last time was on
Princetons five-yarl line, when time
was called and the game was over.
The tackles on the Yale team were
slightly superior to Princeton, while the
ends We're for and away ahead of the
Tigers. Hall and Hazen went down on
all the kicking like lightning, while
Cochran, Lathrop and Craig We're slow,
and to this was doubtless due the long
runs of Desaulles.
Baird played we'll while he lasted, and
ran the team with a good idea of the
places, but Desaulles was nearly his
equal, and far superior to Burke.
Back of the lines Dudley was the
shining star while Benjamin and Ban
nard were about on par, for neither

the conclusion of the races as he would
like TO have a little chat with them on

pointed time the room was filled with
horsemen, both California and the mid

Mr.. Williams said, among other
things, that neither he nor the Califor-
MIA Jockey Club We're antagonistic to
the new movement, but that they felt
themselves capable of running their
own affairs, and could not afford to be
dictated to. Continuing, he said he
thought that the movement was good

and devoted to the best interests of the
turf There was no reason why there
could not be perfect harmony between
the horsemen and the racing assoia-
