In the second half Plate took Clinton's
place at half Murphy kicked off 40
yards, and Harrisburg ran it in 10 and
punted 40. Murphy returned %, and
Harrisburg was. downed by Parker.
Then Stanford began losing by off-side
plays as we'll as the Berkeley force.
The cardinal players were disheart-
ened and evidently much weaker, while
the blue and gold showed up with much
confidence and greater strength They
We're now irresistible, and the men in
red made but mere pretense of stop
ping them. Murphy was hurt again,
and unable to play up to his form. This
plucky little man cannot receive too
much praise, for he was determined to
the end, never once during the dis
heartening struggle failing to do the
best that was in him.
Hall, Smith and Pringle forced the
ball to their opponents line. Here it
was held on downs and Murphy kicked
out 40 yards. 1t was of no avail The
Berkeley backs were playing fercely,
and their bucks always netted good
gains, and finally a strong mass play
carried it over and Harrisburg kicked
goal, making the score IL to o.
Murphy kicked off 45 yards, and the
ball was run in 10. A double pass was
tried, and Parker downed Harrisburg,
with a loss of 10 yards. Then Stan
ford became feeble again. Her attempt
to buck could hardly be called SUCH
Smith, the Stanford end. was retired,
his place being taken by Rice. Murphy's
kicks We're growing shorter, and a
strong wind was against him.
1t was only matter of a few min
utes till the ball rested again on Stan
fords 10-yard line. Harrisburg broke
through the tackle for yards Smith
followed with a high dive over center
for more, following it by an end run
that left the skin with but 5 yards 10
gain. Harrisburg tried and failed and
Smith, following, went through, max
ing the third touchdown. Harrisburg
succeeded in his try for goal, and the
score stood IL to O.
The cardinal was gone, the rooters
were silent, the blue and gold had be-
come delirious. The score was big, but
the Berkeley men played all the fiercer.
Twenty eight to nothing" rang out
from all sides, and it looked like it, for
it was not long before another touch
down was scored. Captain Fisher was
carried from the field with a badly
twisted knee. Hill succeeded him. That
plucky little player, with tears stream
ing down his cheeks, rushed onto the
field and fought like Spartan. But the
odds were heavy against him, and he
did little to quell the bitter plunges.
The players of the blue and gold were
working now to equal that wormwood
score of last year
Fringle carried the ball back to CEN
ter on Murphy's last kick off. Whipple
went in for gains. Smith carried it
for 10 around the left end. Hall made
: around right. Smith hit tackle for
Z, and then the whistle blew with the
ball far down toward the last white
line and the Stanford team outplayed,
generated, overwhelmed 1t was
bitter, it was the wormwood the Berk-
eley boys had drunk for seven years,
presented at last to Stanford.
Smith, Hall, Pringle, Whipple and
Harrisburg all were in the play from be-
ginning to end. No back ever started
without interference enough to carry
him through. Smiths high dives over
center became feature of the game,
and little buck of Cochran's, by the
way. became another.
Murphy is noted for his phenomenal
runs through a scattered field. Kaars-
burg always kicked high to let the ends
down, and they always managed to
touch the ball first. 1t was an off-side
Play every time, and the ball went to
Stanford on the spot where it was
touched. But Murphy was prevented
from ever getting it and running it in.
Good individual players always make
good team work, and Berkeley was not
lacking in either. Stanford, on the
ether hand, seemed to lack the ginger
to carry the ball through. They
bucked for gains, and were thrown back
at the last minute. The center trio
were weak. Biglow was not equal to
the task set him. James was sick and
stale, and Blanchard may hardly yet
be termed a full-fedged football player.
Smith. Parker, Fisher and Murphy
played bitterly, but they could not stop
up the terrible interference Berkeley
hurled at them. Fishers knee was
weak throughout the game, and little
Murphy looked more like the subject for
the hospital than for football man
lie has played all season without an
injury, and to-day he received his full
quota all together.
The lineup was as follows:
Stanford. California.
Freeman ..... Center. ...... Carnish
James .... Right Guard. 49,. Athearn
Blanchard :. Left Guard. Greisberg
Wilson -. Right Tackle. -. Pringle
Rusk ..... Left Tackle. -. Whipple
Parker ..... Right End. -. Womble
