ed, Haskell transferred the line work to
Hall, smaller man and one less cap
able Of making the few necessary yards
against team realizing its danger and
fighting in desperate defense of its
goal.
Had Haskell worked Hall to Ludlow
when the goal was not so near and the
danger to Stanford less imminent, re-
serving Greisberg for the final strug-
gle, there is little dou'I y r ..< giass (
full back, the most determined man on
CalifOrnia'S team, would have accom-
plished the much needed touchdown.
AS it was, the Stanford line held, and
Murphy kicked out of danger. Berke-
ley needed only little generalShip to
have secured six points at that juno
ture.
Captain Hall Of Berkeley is a star of
the first rank, his playing being well
up to form. Had he not been impressed
with the hopelessness of the struggle,
mad he received the support which
should have been his, he might have
accomplished more. His runs were we'll
executed, and at times he fought with
spirit and vim which made the STAN
ford ranks tremble. His kicks, how
ever, were feeble, and in this feature he
was far outclassed by Murphy, the
Stanford quarter.
Viewed by results, Stanford's plays
We're successful, while Berkeley's failed
to bring the expected gains. California s
ends back proved futile ground-gain-
ing method, and time and again her
men We're thrown back for heavy loss
WhIpple was a plucky end for Berk-
eley, and kept his opponents busy.
While on the quarter kicks he made
good ground, and once was all but clear
Of the tackles.
In word, the Berkeley ranks lacked
the necessary ginger which, apart from
inferior weight and poor generalship,
would alone have accomplished their
own defeat. Stanford, on the other
hand, went to the game confident and
determined to win. Every man in the
Palo Alto eleven had been worked into
the best possible condition, and all We're
ready and eager for the great annual
struggle.
Murphy, Stanford's quarter. despite
recent illness, could hardly have put
up a better game under any circum-
stances. His Judgment was correct in
every play, and he studied the opposi-
good advantage. His kicking and run
ming comprised the spectacular feat
ures of the match While his brilliant
sixty-five yard dash through a scat
tered field brought renewed homage to
this college idol.
Captain Cotton of Stanford played
the good game expected of him, and
something more The huge cash above
he
served but to increase his determina-
ton, and soon after his mishap he made
the cleverest buck of the game
Parker and Jeffs worked the ends to
advantage, the former playing a poor
game the first half, and not rising to
his best form until far into the second
half. Jeffs was finally compelled to go
out of the game, owing to bad knee
DAILY at half played a steady game, and
Burnett, the big center, proved the
hardest player of the team.
Viewed as an aggregation, it may be
said that victory was due to the team
work of the cardinal wearers. the clever
playing Of the Stanford backs, together
with the well balanced and effective
work of her guards, contributing large
~ to her overwhelming victory.
THE GAME IN DETAIL.
