minine Stanford too wildly interested
TO see a JOKE.
Bnt, after all, it is the spirit of good
faith and of purely honorable endeavor
which special'Zas football PLAYERS an d
spectators. When one Of the Stanford
men dragged :hmself TO his feet and went
i'll search OF the surgeon there were blue
and gold badges ana bedecked canes be-
side the cardinal ones waved TO greet his
re-entrance into the game, his black,
bushy, saud-ruboed hair bound around
with white bandage, which speedily
took the prevailing tone-dirt, uirt, dirt!
There stuff III that man. even If he is
Stanford, said Berkeley regretfuIly.
Yes, stuff that Berkeley needs before
she can reverse this awful seven years
record. 1t isn't the spiritual stuff they
lack across the bay. It's the material
stuff that fills those burly red sweaters
ana bulging, misshap n red stockings. II
the Stanford teams OF '92 '93 and '95 were
equal TO this mighty 81 aggregation of
power, skill and courage, 1t is only
tribute TO Berkeley TO marvel that the re-
suit OF the fghts was tie in each case.
There are excellent men on the Berkeley
team, runners so fleet. so cool headed.
kickers so strong and sure that were they
their opponents-there might be another
tie.
That's an anti.climax. And yet, to the
lay-very lay--mini, after yesterdays
game, Stanford seems irresistible.
Wnen the wooden awning fell and
boards ana spectators were precipitated
down upon the mass of people below, at

where people clustered like flies appeared
silhouetted on tops of neigh boring roofs.

But no more ball was ''plyed" that day.
And ii was just as we'll. Hope had died
for Berkeley, so far rs the spectators were
concerned. Every sweet fragrant violet,
every gorgeous chrysanthemum was token
only of disa prominent. That there re-
mained courage 10 go on beneath those
striped jackets is only an evidence of what
Berkeley might do if only Stanford were
not the bigger and the better man.

J. II, Sherwood, manager of Sherwood

OF boards fell and struck him or the head.
He was stunned for few minutes, but
unuer the care OF his wife, who, 1ortu-

his escape, and cannot possibly under
stand how his wife escaped without a

Daniel Cahill, baseball player, was
also among the injured. He was struck
by falling board and suffered slight
scalp wound.

into The gridiron, but suffered nothing
more painful than q few bruises and
scratches.
The management of the game and all
who went TO see it are of the opinion that
the police are in great measure respon-
ibe for the accident. During the prog
ress OF the game the crowd OF small boys
and men on the outside who wanted to
see the game but did not want 20 pay for
that privilege fought like mad people for
points of vantage. They tore boards from
the fence, cut noles in 1t and swarmcd on
the roofs of ad jacent house. Gates lead
Ing into the grounds were torn from their
hinges, and no officer was on the outside
of the fence 10 see that the depredations
were stopped. Finally the boys and men
began 10 climb the fence. and then be-
tween glances at the players the police
men would order them Off. Along TO-
ward the close OF the game, however, the
police began to relax their vigil from the
ide of the fence. and in a remarka bly,
short space of time the fimsy awning
which was simply built for a day was
black with interested humanity. Just as
the game was coming to close the crash
came, and the cheers that would have
sounded for Stanford were turned on the
lips of all to cries of alarm and sympathy
for the in iured. So closed the game that
marked the fourth defeat of California
University.

ENDED WITH
AN ACCIDENT.
Men and Women Pinned Down
BY Falling Timbers.

Just as victory was in the hands of the
crimson gladiatcrs and over on the north
the Stanford wing was rising to its feet to
send cheer after cheer to its heroes an ac-
cident, awful in its posi- bili!ies, but by
some degree OF fate trivial In is results,
occurred. A fimsy awning that had been
built 10 project the observer from the sun
gave way under the weight OF several
small boys, and boards and timbers
crashed into the crowd below. IL an in
slant all was confusion. Screaming
women and struggling men pinned to the
seats by the weight upon them fought
ior release. The other observation stands
were soon deserted and their occupants
hurried to the rescue of the injured peo-
pie. In remarkably short space Of
lime between 1000 and 5000 people were
jamming and lighting their wav toward
the scene OF the accident, and !or time
the police had 10 a abandon the work OF res
cue and drive back the seethlng, battling
crowd. This took several minutes, and
then the tim bers were removed.
Miss Mae Jones, who resides at 98l Will
low street Oakland, was found lying half
UNCONSCIOUS, the blood streaming from
her nose and Iip-. She was picked up and
carried from the grounds, where several
sympathetic ladies cared for her until she
recovered sufficiently 10 be sent home.
Miss Nellie Weatherby, who resides on
Telegraph avenue, Miss Jones' companion,
was struck on the neck and shoulders by a
large tim ber and tainted from the shock.
On examination it was found that she had
received a painful cut and bruise on the
right side of her neck, but her shoulder
escaped serious injury She, too. was car
ried from the grounds, and when she re-
covered sufficiently she Joined her COM
panion.
Mrs. NJ. H. Mccormick, an elderly lady,
who was seated near the young women
was also rendered unconscious. She was
badly bruised, but it IS not thought that
any of her injuries will result seriously.

OPINION OF
A PARTISAN
How 1t Looked to a Man From
Stanford.
By Walter MarIette Mcintosh, Stan
ford '9S,

Stanford had been fairly confident of
final victory, but even those on the in
side felt that the struggle would be hard
one. The CALL was the only paper to
pred ct that Stanford would have a walk
over.
Personally, having umpile1 ard
watched closely most OF the practice
games of the Stanford eleven for this
season, | had no idea that the boys in car
dinal would put up so brilliant an article
of football. had perfect confidence in
the men as players, in the coach and in
the trainer, but l thought that the two
weeks of rela Xation from university work
and the thorough training in the bracing
air of Monterey might work wonders with
The U. e. men.
II we were to seek the fundamental
cause Of Stanford's clean record in her an
nual gridiron contests with her Varsity
rival, | think we shall find it in the mag
nificent manner in which tine Stanford
students ralIv to the support of their
team.
TO George H. Brooke, the famous Penn
sylvania fullback, is due large share OF
the credit for the victory. To be sure, he
had team of veterans to handle, but he
knew an entirely different style of play
ircm that to which the men had been
trained under the several Yale coaches,
AMI how we'll he succeeded in teaching
the men the Pennsylvania manner of
offense and defense may be learned from
a glance at the score.
Mr.. Brookes success lays in the fact
that on the held he is strictly business.
He permits no loafng, and by his manner
wins the confidence and respect of the
men under him. To hir assistants, MessrS.
Code, Downing, Harrelson and Franken-
heimer of the "old guard" j" Stanford has
been and always will De indebted for
much of her success on the white-lined
field.
The members of the second team have
done splendid work ali through the sea-
son.. They are the men who receive the
hard knocks and are repaid with too little
glory. The second eleven virtually makes
the Varsity. 1t is my personal opinion
thatthe Stanford second team, as 1t played
through the last couple of weeks, could
have defeated U. C. IN their game.
1t was evident that the Stanford team S
defense was inferior 10 its offensive work.
The principal steady gains for the cardi-
nal were made on me Pennsylvania tam
dem plays. Berkeley seemed unable to
withstand the hard drives against The
line, when Fitkert, Carrie, Fisher or Cot
ton would take the ball on these PLAYS.
In defensive play. the cid failing of the
linemen 10 play high would crop out oc-
casionalIy and thus Berkeley's tandems
on tackle. modelled after the Princeton
game, would often prove effective, espe-
cially in the first half. That Stanford had
a strong defense when necessary was
shown in the first half when the wearers
of the cardinal braced themselves and won

Stanford gathered up again, and worked
down the field Tor another touchdown.
Murphy kicked out TO Fickert, who
caught the Kick and Murphy kicked an
other goal. Score: Stanford IS. U. c. 0.
By this time the i. G. team was COM
pletely demorallzed. Cotton ran in Lud-

Murphy kicked 35 yards and Hail was
nailed by Parker. Hall tried Rice, but
was thrown back. Burnett tackled Han

Fisher has at last found out the secret
OF successful line buckmg and has that
peculiar headlong whirling dive that al
ways results in gain. Ii seems like
waste OF time TO speak OF the other Stan
ford men. They and their ability are TOO
well known 10 the football public. Cot
ton 5 name is synonym for line plunging.
Carle Is known as the stonewall man,
Fickert as the old reliable. Chef Thomas
always plays good game and held his
man easily.
Jack Rice, although scarcely able to
move about on account of his badly
swollen knee, played as good a game as
any man on the field. Jeffs has never
been seen at his best, on account OF in
juries. Rea Smith was also on the injured
Hst.
Take it all together, Stanford never had
a better trained or coached team. The
guard back formation was eminently sue
cessful, and it Is safe to say That today
Stanford has the strongest football team
in the West

OPINION OF A
BERKELEY MAN.
It Was Doe to Fundamental Errors
in Training.
BY WILL c. RUSSELL, U. c. 'ss.

1t is indeed hard 10 brook defeat, and
still harder TO offer a graceful apology for
an ignominious drubbing. To make a
long story short ana to keep from chasing
the devil around Roein Hoods barn the
University of California team was simply
outclassed and outplayed by Stanford in
yesterdays foot ball game. l; would be
all nonsense to attempt 10 offer any other
explanation for the result.
We had the material, the condition. the
snap, the energy, the determination, and
almost equal weight with our opponents;
but in the science of the game and the
quality of perce wing what AMI when to
do it. our team was deplorably deficient,
IS compared with the men they had to
run up against.
The defeat last year, with score of 20
to O. was bad enough, and there was
reason in the plea that the B .rkeley men
were iil.trained and in poor condition. but
no such excuse can be offere this time.
The llI-luck story, too. is no longer valid.
The reason for the 2S 10 score yester-
day appears to me to be fundamental and
not i'm m ed iale.' 1t was i'll the Coaching,

THREe-cENT FARE FIGHT LOST.
United states Court of Appeals sustains tn,
Showalter O-1er.


Chicago, Dec. 11.-Indianapoiis has
lost in her fight for Scent car fare. The
United States court Of appeals. in a,
opinion handed down yesterday, di.
missed the appeal of the city OF Indian
apolis from the order of Showalter en-
Joining the enforcement of the 3-cent
fare ordinance. The case was one In
which the Central Trust company. OF
New York. in a bill filed in the federal
court at Indianapolis asked for an in
junction restraining the enforcement oi
the Scent fare act passed by the legis-
lature of Indiana last March. The trus,
company is the mortgage for s., ,0O0,-
600 bond issue of the Indianapolis stree,
car lines.
The trust company claims that the
3-cent fare will injure the value of It's
mortgage. and is in controvention OF
the constitution Of the United States
which declares that no state shall pass
any law impairing the obligation OF
contracts. The company also claims
that the act of the legislature is class
legislation, as 1t applies only to the
street car lines in Indianapolis.
