Score Of "a to 5.

SAN. JOSE. Oct. 30.-To-day for the
third time this season the Stanford
University team made the Reliance
eleven feel the pangs Of defeat. Ihe
score standing i to 6 in favor of the
collegians. The game took place IN the
Cvclers' Park gridiron, and was Wilt
messed by about one thousand people,
a large proportion of whom were stu
dents.
1t was not an easy victory for Stan
ford. as the Reliance athletes put up a
hard fsht, making many brilliant plays
at critical moments Reliance dld all
of its scoring in the first half, the var
sity boys seeming to be content with
playing the defensive. Reliance took
advantage of this pleasing state OF al
fairs ard did some fast work Carter
made a touchdown, and Wyckof kick
ed d goal, and when the first half
closed the score stood . to U, 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, STAN
ford's quarter back, played IN great
form. and experienced no difficulty in
passing through Reliance's interference.
Fisher made the first touchdown Tor
Stanford soon afterward and Murphy
kicked a goal, tieing the score. Daily
made a great run, landing the ball
safely over the line and putting the
colIegians in the lead. Murphy kick
ed another goal, increasing the score of
the varsity team to an even dozen.
In the last four minutes Reliance made
a desperate effort to pull the game out
of the fire, but while they succeeded
in keeping the Stanford eleven busy,
they failed to score.
CAMBRIDGE (OIass.), Oct. 30.-Har-
ward easily defeated Cornell on Soldiers
Field to-day, but was scored on for
the first time this season. Harvard
made four touchdowns and forced Cor
nell to make a safety, while in the first
half, after gaining the ball ON a muff-
ed kick, Young kicked a pretty goal
from the field for Cornell. This made
the final score, with three goals from
touchdowns, q to 3 in favor of the
Harvard men. At the last of the first
half Harvard's outlook was discourage
ing. The crimson should have made a
much better stand to protect the goal
and had not the Cornell backs hammer
ed successfully at the right of Har
wards line it isdoubtful whether Cornell
would have got near enough to risk the
kick. Harvard's defensive work was
decidedly erratic in the first half, but
showed a marked Improvement in the
second half. On the offensive Harvard
put up. on the whole, a strong game
Score: Harvard q, Cornell 3.

by one of Yale's speedy backs, the

afternoon witnessed the annual fresh
