SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 3O.-Over 5000
people at Recreation park this afternoon
witnessed the annual freshmen game
between Stanford university and the
University of California. 1t was the
most hotly-contested match which has
taken place in all the years since the
freshmen of the two colleges began lin
ing up against each other. Freshmen
are not expected to play first class foot
ball, and in today's game there was ap-
solutely no interference worthy of the
name, and fumbles were frequent, but
what was lacking in science was made
up in vigor The Stanford players won
the game by a score of 16 to s, although
at first everything seemed to be coming
Berkeley's way, the blue and gold scor-
ing the first touchdown before the ball
had been in play ten minutes, but after
that Stanford scored again and again,
and Berkeley only scored one more
touchdown, and that at the end of the
second half. Stanford carried the ball
clear across the field by short runs, scor-
ing a touchdown and goal, so that at the
end of the first half the score was six to
four in favor of Stanford. In the second
half Beckley of Stanford ran half way
across the field, getting touchdown,
but his run was distanced by that of
Premo, the speedy and heavy end of the
Berkeley eleven, who made fifty yard
run and a touchdown. Berkeley twice
missed goal after a touchdown, and the
score stood 16 to in favor of Stanford
when the play ended.
STANFORD RELIANCE
SAN JOSE, Oct. 3O.-Today for the
third time this season the Stanford var
sity team made the Reliance eleven feel
the pangs Of defeat, the score standing
II to in favor of the collegians. The
game took place on the Cyclers' park
gridiron and was witnessed by abou.
thousand people, large proportion of
whom were students.
1t was not an easy victory for Stan
ford, as the Reliance athletes put up a
hard fight, making many brilliant plays
At critical moments Reliance did all of
it's scoring in the first half, the varsity
boys seeming to be content with playing
the defensive. Reliance took advantage
of this pleasing state of affairs and did
some fast work. Carter made a toucch-
down and Wyckoff kicked a goal, and
when the first half closed the score stood
6 to 0, Stanford being at the cipher end.
Then the collegians took the offensive
and it did not take long for them to show
their superiority. Murphy, Stanford's
quarterback, played in great form ard
experienced no difficulty in passing
through Reliance's interference. Fisher
made the first touchdown for Stanford
and soon afterward Murphy kicked a
goal, tieing the score. Daily made a
great run. landing the ball safely over
the line and putting the collegians in the
lead. Murphy kicked another goal, in
creasing the score of the varsity team
to an even dozen. In the last four min
utes Reliance made a desperate effort
to pull the game out Of the fire, but
while they succeeded in keeping the Stan
ford eleven very busy they failed to
score.
HARVARD-C CORNELL
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 30.-Har-
ward easily defeated Cornell on Soldiers
field today, but was scored on for the
first time this season. Harvard made
four ch-downs, and forced Cornell to
make a safety, while in the first half
after gaining the ball on muffed kick
Young kicked a pretty goal from the
field for Cornell. This made the final
score, with three goals from touchdowns,
"a to in favor of the Harvard men. At
the last of the first half Harvards out
look was discouraging. The crimson
should have made much better stand
to protect the goal, and had not the Cor
nell backs hammered successfully at the
right of Harvard's line, it is doubtful
whether Cornell would have got near
enough to risk the kick.
Harvard's defensive work was de-
cidedly erratic in the first half, but
showed a marked improvement in the
second. On the offensive Harvard put
up, on the whole, strong game. Score:
Harvard, "a; Cornell, 5.
ouchdowns-Cabot Boal (2), Mills.
Goals from uchdowns-Garrison (3).
Goal from field-Young.
YALE DEFEATED
WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. 3O.-The ca
dets had it up their sleeve for Yale today,
and had it not been for run by one of
Yale's speedy backs, the score would
have been to in favor of West Point,
instead of tie. West Point played a
superb game, and, according to Walter
Camp, "Yale's defense is a thing of the
past" They could not hold the strong
line, and repeatedly gains were made
through the veteran Rogers position.
Yale, 6; West Point, 6.
THE TIGERS WIN
PRINCETON, N. j., Oct 30.-Prince-
ton defeated the strong Dartmouth team
today by score of 80 to 0. The game
was marked by it's fierceness, and the
fact that the Tigers were dangerously
threatened in the first half touch
down being avoided only through an un-
fortunate decision of the referee, who
gave the ball to Princeton when on the
fifteen yard line for holding the line.
Princeton's interference and team work
in the first half was extremely ragged.
A PLAYER KILLED
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 30.-Universty of
Virginia, II; University of Georgia, 4.
Cannon, of the, Georgia team, was SO
badly hurt in a scrimmage that his re-
covery is doubtful. He has conclusion
of the brain.
