The College Men Go Through the Line of the Olympic

The victory was a hard earned one, and was witnessed by a large crowd of students of both sexes, who yelled and cheered their representatives. The wear CTS of the cardinal played hard from the kickoff, and although they repeatedly had the ball in their opponents territory, were only able to score one touchdown and a safety. In the first half Rice, the young captain of the Palo Alto contin- gent, suffered injuries and reluctantly left the game Frisselle and Carson also succumbed and gave way to substitutes.
 Rooney of Lowell and GeisSler of Stan ford distinguished themselves in the inic tial half by long runs The second half was a repetition of the first, both teams playing hard and fast. Symmes kicked to the five-yard line, and the ball was run in ten yards An end run netted six yards, and Stanford bucked to the downs. Lowell was. given. fifteen yards on off side play, and Stanford again got the ball on downs. Geissler was given the ball and went around the left end twice for gains of fifteen yards. A number of bucks brought the pigskin to LowelPs 45-yard line, when it was lost on downs. Lowell advanced the ball a few yards on the first play, and then Hooper kicked into Stanford's territory. Geissler, who was playing fullback, ran through his field to LowelPs ten-yard line before being tackled. Downing was then pushed over for a touchdown. Geissler kicked a pretty goal from near the side lines. When time was called the ball was m the center of the field.
 The most notable work of the Low ell team was performed by Symmes, the right tackle He repeatedly broke through Stanfords line and nailed his man in his tracks. His tackling and kicking was noticeable. Rooney and Kidd also did good work. Ellenwood was trifie weak at left end, many gains being made around him. Geissler, Downing and Rudolphe were the cardinals stars.
 Following Is the way the teams faced each other:

 was to 0. The first half lasted a few
 minutes after this and then the whistle blew.
 The second half showed prettier pie

Does Baby
7 hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask jour doctor If this is not true.
