DISSATISFIED WITH CROSS
BIGGEST GATE EVER HAD ON
THE PACIFIC COAST.

The Thanksgiving football game ran its
natural course on Thursday evening, but
1t seems to be still in the air. Yesterday
on Market and Kearny streets the great
blue and gold glad hand was piled with
sweeping vigor. and the gilded palaces,
the alcoholic dispensaries, prof1ted much
by it.
CALIFORNIA; supporters contrary to gen.
eral expectation did little roistering about
town during the early hours of the morn
ing. The streets were comparatively
bare after midnight, but occasionally the
ordinary pedestrian would bump up into
q bowling squad of color bedecked collie
gians and trouble ensued.
The enormous attendance at the game
has set people to wondering how much
money the gate receipts represent. Count
ing the entire gate the football game
brought Sl6.S00 into the college treasu-
ries. This figure is in excess of the re-
turns of last years game by $500. The
expenses of the game reach high figure
on account of the building of the stands.
Deducting all expenses Of the grounds,
the building of stands, ushers, decora-
tions advertising and printing, each col
lege should receive $500. This figure will
pay all expenses of the season and posi-
bly, leave $1,000 in the treasures of each
Institution 10 begin their year of 1899
Coach Cross was seen on Market street
yesterday, his countenance set in sorrow.
He intended TO leave for the East last
night, but postponed his trip until to-
day.
Garrett Cochran was not in evidence
yesterday. He will leave for New Mex
leo in a few days, remaining there sew
eral weeks, after which he will pack his
trunks and return to his father, who is
clamOrlng to have the football seer go
into the employment of the railroad COM
pany of which Cochran senior is presi-
dent.
The California men and the alumni of
the university are exerting themselves to
induce Cochran to return to the team next
year. The young Princetonian says no,
positively; but there are some who think
that he viii reconsider his decision. If ne
coaches any university football eleven II
viii be California.
Cochran is the idol of the hour. They
all seem 10 recognize the hand he had IN
the development of the winning team, and
shower praises on him for his success.
There were bIue-ribboned youths doing
the line" yesterday without number, and
he escaped them all by remaining under
cover.
Murmurs of dissatisfaction were heard
among the few Stanford men in town
about Harry 2. Cross. Two years ago
the Yale coach came to San Francisco
and developed a team which made the
first big score of the Intercollegiate
games. Stanford then shouted the name
of Cross in paenS of praise. Now condl-
tions are altered, as the large score Is
against them.
is said, is due TO a pOst-prandial address
which Cross made the last night the team
was at Congress Springs. The alumni
coaches who were there had arranged for
a number of war-whooping speeches on the
greatness of the Stanford team, all for
the purpose of dispelling the gloom that
had settled on the eleven. A few words
were asked from the coach. Cross rose
and in mournful tones said he hoped lor
the best and then delved into an analysis
of his own inky emotions caused by the
gloomy football situation. Some Of the
Stanford men asseverate that this put "a
. wet blanket on the team, and they were
beaten before the game began.
In order to destroy the evil effect Of

iurid picture of another cardinal victory.
