ball, made things look sable for Califor-
mia for moment. but Thane recovered
and passed the ball to Kaarsberg, whose
flying leaps through the center were the
sensation of the day. Kaarsberg just
ran. In and out of the scattered field he
picked his way. clearing sixty yards be-
fore he was bagged. Then Hall sought
the earth under the goal posts and the
score read 10, with no goal.
The second half redeemed the game,
which on the whole was of a fine order
for an initial contest. Both the Califor-
nit and Stanford coaches expressed them
selves in terms very favorable to the blue
and gold eleven. The Olympics were out
of condition, and went to pieces sadly af-
ter Captain Pete Smith was forced to re-
tire on account of a strained shoulder.

gridiron battle In which the Olympics
were rubbed in the dust and the Califor-

The game opened with a kickoff by Cali

the Olympic territory, from which the
athletic club players did not seem to be
able to separate. Three separate times
the ball changed hands, the play being
in the neighborhood of the Olympic thirty
yard line. Once Roy Weldon tried to save
his team by punting, but the ball sailed
to the side and fell into the hands of the
enemy With the pigskin on the Olympic
twenty-five yard line Thane of California
advanced it a few yards and then the
next play brought Percy Hail. the SCARED
veteran of the gridiron, into sudden view

ball back of the goal line and on a spot
automatically equidistant from the
poles. Score 90. Kaarsberg kicked a
goal; score 60. The first half was over

ARE DYING LIKE SHEEP.

Awful Condition of Cuban Reconcentra-
dos Related by Congressman King.
TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 10.-After spend
ing several weeks making personal in
vestigation Of the situation i'll Cuba,
Congressman King of Utah arrived
here during the evening. His tour COW
cred four provinces and was thorough.
Speaking OF his trip he said:
II made it to learn just what condi-
tions were and found that no one has
ever half depicted the awful horrors of
the reconcentradoes. These people,
naked and emaciated, are still dying
like sheep in the streets of the towns
where they are huddled. To realize
just what this means one must see for
himself. I found that the Spanish peo.
pie have evidently very little faith in
the new astronomical government, for
they are strongly in favor of annexa-
tion and want it at once. General
Blanco has not succeeded in his
Efforts to Alleviate the Suffering
for he has not had financial means to
carry it out. I have interviewed in
surgent leaders, Spanish officers and
Americans and have some definite idea
of what is going on in that terribly
devastated island. l know positively
that General Lee is not going out with
General Blanco to see General Gomez"
AS Mr. King saw General Lee Satur-
day he evidently speaks with authority.
Professor Herman Schoenfeld of COL
umbian university came on the same
boat. He has been making investiga-
tions for the purpose Of writing maga-
zine articles for Germany and Austria.
He corroborated in the main Mr.. Kings
views, but thinks the war will con-
tinue a long time.

"For some weeks the Spaniards in

and whispered conferences behind
closed doors, between rich Havana mer-
chants and the agents of the Spanish
minister.

an intricate process Of detective work by
our Washington agents we have begun
the unearthing of plot which means
nothing less than the establishing by
the United States of protectorate over
Cuba, and the complete retirement of
Spain from the island.

the rich and influential ones, realize
that Spain has lost her grip on the
island forever. They can never again
call on the Spaniards for protection for
their lives and property
