HOW THE BOYS
PLAYED BALL
The Work of the Players Viewed
bv Experts.

ON WORK OF o. RTERB CKS-
Murphy and HASKELL played we'll. Murphy S
passing was pretty accurate. but he made TWO
fumbles during early part of gene. Each
quarterback gave signals in tirstclass manner
and chose plays best suited to strength OF MS
team. Haskell was somewhat slow in pass
ing and did not get into PLAYS after Dali had
left his hands. Centers passed we'll to quar-
terbacks, and each quarter. especially Murphy,
was wei protected by center and guards
Haskell backed up line fairly we'll. Murphy
had little tackling to do, but made one gooo
tackle when Hall was brought down wh1le
making d long run round Stanford lett end,
and another when he tack led Whlpple, VINO
secured bali from the quarter KICK
Murpny ran in kicks we'll and showed great
ability TO run in a scattered field. His catch
ing was good, but not equal to that OF Hail,
who caught every kick with one exception
that came his way Real strength OF guaru,
back play not shown by the STANFORD
team. If they had concentrated their ener-
gieS toward one point in the Berkeley line
men in positions attacked could never have
stood up against such strong play Tor any
length h of time, Tor players on the aggressive
are not worked hard. while the brunt OF the
d lens We play falls upon one or two men.
Neither quarter back put enough snap into me
somewhat out OF coma ZION, but when the
Berkeley team was once "on the run he
should have gingered up the men by giving
apid Signals On the whole, the WorK OF
both quarters was good, but Murphy certainty
showed considerable superiority.

saw Our three center men were a tower of
strength, and Berkeley could not buck the
center at all The stand they made when
Berkeley had us on the 5-yard line was su-
perb Rice ana Thomas both played their
games, and Berkeley could not gain through
them at all. Contrary TO our expectation
Berkeley could not circle our ends. Our ends,
when they got down on kicks in the first half
allowed Hall 10 get by them. but this was
remedied in the second hall. Smith, who
took Jeffs' place after Jeffs sprained his ankle,
played his position we'll. Murphy's kicking
was wonderful, considering the boy had been
in bed for the last three days. He played an
excellent game. One of his splendid punts
was the longest ever made in a match game on
this coast And he is also TO be credited with
the longest run of the day.

and were in on every play. Berkeley TOOK q
wonderful brace in the second half, and had
altogether the better OF play II awhile Their
tandem on tackles worked very well at times,
also their new play OF bringing ends back be-
hind backs and forming flying wedge on
guard. Han's tacKling was very strong, and
no one got by him, Stanford securing all her
tOuchdowns on mass PLAYS. L anticipated
Stan iord's victory, but hardly thought 1t pos
sIble she could bave run up such score. AT
times the game was very even. and ore would
hardly imagine there could be such dife =

up game fight, but was outweigned and out

ON WORK OF CENTERS - No one
familiar with football could have failed
to notice the difference in the playing
of the two centers. Burnett, weighing 100,
faced McDermott. weighing 1s5, aud out
played HIM at almost every point. Due credit
should, however, be given McDarmott, Tor on
several occasions he presented the heavier
backs making gains through his position
But in general ail-rouud play, getting out IN
the int .rference or getting through and break
ing up plays, McDermolt was outclassed by
Burnett. Several umes Burnett was throuIh

game when Murphy punted TO Hall and then
prevented runs or return kicks, but not so

Hall was able to make TWO excellent runs b.
cause OF slowness of Jeffs and Parker. They
were not given ball TO advance IL themselves,

The annual ball, given by the Propylaeum
stockholders occurred last evening, and
was one of the handsomest entertainments
yet given in that building. There was an
attendance of about three hundred guests
and the spacious assembly hall was almost
uncomfortably crowded for dancers The
guests were received in the west parlor by
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, Mrs. H. " Rud-
dell, Mrs. w. ]. Holiday, Mrs. E. C. Atkins,
Mrs A. M. Ogle and Mrs Henry S. Fraser.
The pictures belonging to the Art Associa :
ton make the room so beautiful that no at
tempt was made to decorate it save the
placing of few yellow chrysanthemums in
vases. 1t was reserved for the ballroom to
win admiration with its embellishments
The Orders above were twined with South
ern smilax, and following the mold
ing were simulated arches of the
smilax, part of them studded with pink
hollyhocks The whole effect was light and
airy and artistic. Palms at the mantel and
bordering the platform were tastefully
placed. @p
dainty evening gowns. and many flowers
were carried. The dance programme was
an ornamental figure of a girl holding
SCROLL and was placed over the platform
At midnight the cotillon was called and Mr.
w. F. G. Colt and Mr.. w. Wallace Krag
led the figures There was first a grand
march, and this was followed by a circle
figure. The second was a circle figure
wherein the ladies formed a circle in the
center of the ROOM, facing out, and the
gentlemen formed line around them, the
whole ending in the waltz. A scarf figure
was the last, and the gay colored scarfs,
together with the gay company, gave a
spectacular effect with the people who were
looking on and the lights and the decorated
hall Sea favors We're presented for each

OPENS HIS EYES.
A Practical Test to Discover How
Coffee Affects One.

Probably no one thing will more pro-
foundry startle a man than TO find out by
actual proof what coffee drinking Is doing
for him When he realizes that day after
day the physical machinery is not working
right, he naturally casts about for the
cause in order to stop it before 1t goes too
far.
But to locate the cause is frequently be-
yond the power of himself and even his

tobacco, etc. for a short period and use
Postum Cereal Food Coffee. the truth is
brought home In unmistakable terms.
The need of a pure cereal coffee for hui
manity was the active cause for the dis
covea-y of Postum. Plenty of Coffee Sub
stitutesi' existed but their unpalatdble taste
prevented their use.
1t required over a year of experiment to
discover how to select the proper parts
of cereals and roast them in such a way as
Java coffee and yet preserve the entire pur-
ity and food value.
Postum now has imitators that throw
samples about. which claim to be pure

careful test and investigation shows that
every article of the sort which has any dis
tinctive coffee flavor Is simply cheap. low

cares little what goes into a Customers

APPEAL TO PoPULISTS
ADDRESS ISSUED BY THE MIDDLE
OF-THE-ROAD FACTION.
Platform Which Bryan FusiOnfsts Are
Asked to superintendent Meeting
Proposed for Next January.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. A-After an all-night
session of the national organization COM
mittee, representing the middle-of-the-roa
faction of the Populist party it reconvened
to-day behind closed doors. This afternoon
ABE Steinberger. of Kansas, gave out
the following address as having been unan-
imously adopted by the committee:
Recognizing the Importance of active
and aggressive work TO the end of lining
up all reform forces for future campaigns
we, the national organization committee of
the Peoples party, hereby call a meeting
of said committee at the Laelede Hotel
st. Louis Mo-, for Jan. II, 1898. To the end
of restoring perfect harmony iE the ranks
of the party and effecting a more compact
organization, we respectfully invite the ma
tiOnal committee of the Peoples party to
meet with is in conference on the above
date, appealing to their patriotic sense of
duty to aid us in restoring TO It's once
Feeling it due TO the members of the Peo-
pies party to outline the objects of this
call, we submit the following:
I'VE recommend the holding of national
nominating convention on the first
Wednesday in April, 1898.
I'VE recommend the holding of state con-
ventiOns at which delegates TO the national
convention shall be chosen, on the third
Wednesday in March, 1898.
I'VE recommend that the nominations of
congressman be delayed until after the
holding of the national convention.
We recommend that the, platform on
should embody the following propositions:
''Ftrst-Absolute paper money, based on
every commodity and resource of the Ma
tion full legal tender and receivable for all
dues to the United States.
''Second-Free coinage of gold and silver
at the present legal ratio; the coin debts of
the United States payable in either, at the
option of the government.
'Third-All money to be issued by the
government and paid out direct to the peo-
pie for services rendered, or to be loaned to
them at a low rate of interest on safe Sc
cUrity. and without the Intervention of pri-
vate banks, provided that the volume of
the currency shall not exceed $50 per cap

"Fourth-Government ownership and OPP
GRAFTON of railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines.
''Fifth-Opposition to alien ownership and
holding of land for speculative purposes.
"Sixth-OppOsition to court-made law.
acknowledgements to trusts.
"Eighth-We especially recommend the
initiative and referendum and the impera-
tive mandate"
Milton Park the chairman of the commit
tee, said he believed the address embodied
a platform upon which the people of the
United States would stand and give Hearty
support. At the meeting to be held next
January, in ST. Louis, Mr.. Park said that
he believed there would be many prominent
Populists from all sections of the country.
Whether or not the national committee
would attend, he said, he did not know.
but even if it did not, his committee would
go on and make its own nomination for
President in 1900.

was driven directly to his hotel. Fortune
seemed to smile on him that day, for no one
called with an AK TO grind and he was taxi
ing some much needed rest during the
afternoon Just at dusk there was a rap
at the door of his apartments, which Mr..
Skinner answered In person, and there
stood buttons with a card. Looking at
Ii Mr.. Skinner saw the name Mr.. Edgeriy
Montague" Who Mr.. Montague was he
had not the remotest idea, and as he was
very much en- deshabille the actor came to
the prompt conclusion that he did not care
to know, so he said to the boy, Tell the
gentleman that Mrs. Skinner said that Mr.
Skinner was not at home" thinking to
thereby shift the burden of responsibility.
Unknown to Mr.. Skinner however, Mr..
Montague had followed the boy upstairs
and was within earshot. Nothing happened,
but a little later Mr.. Skinner rang for the
bell boy and asked him If he had delivered
the message. The boy replied that he had
not done So as the gentleman had followed
him and had heard it for himself.
But what did he say?" queried the actor.
The boy looked down at the carpet and
then out Of the window. Then he said in q
hesitating manner that he had repeated the
message to the gentleman, or rather
started to when the man asked sharply if

But I fixed it, quickly continued the
boy. Il told him that it was Mrs Skinner
sure 'nuff an that she had a dreadful cold
an, couldn't talk no better"
The boy got two seats for Mr. Skinner S
