first half was fought for the main part
in Olympic territory. Just before the
whistle blew Sheehy broke out of the
bunch and made one of his old-time bucks
for twenty yards.
The second half gave the mighty Cad
wallader a chance to kick off. Hall
caught the ball and ran it in but little
way and punted for thirty-f1ve yards. An
other unsuccessful attempt of the Olym-
pics to gain the necessary distance forced
them to kick. California then began
punting game, and Moore's long drive
was fumbled by Clum, who entered the
game when Carter was packed off on ac-
count Of injury. Moore punted the ball
TO the Olympic f1fteen-yard line, and after
some successful and other unsuccessful
line bucking by the clubmen the college
team secured the ball on the Olympic
twenty-five-yard line.
Then followed the struggle for a touch
down. "Locomoter" Smith put his driv-
ers to work and went three yards closer
to victory. Cadwallader in his anxiety to
upset the opposing formation interfered
with the passing Of the ball, and five
yards penalty shortened the distance that
separated California's eleven from the
goal. A dash by Hall for ten yards and
another by Smith to the five-yard line
brought the scent of the line that marked

towering Yale giant and the greatest
guard who ever played the game, visited
the team he once coached and was sur
prised by victory for the blue and gold.
Representing the Olympic Club, John
Hammersmth, Vice President Mann and
several of the directors walked UP and
down the side lines, looking wise without
hazarding an opinion.
The game was exceptionally good for
an opener, though devoid of sensation,
dash or brlhancy. California. with its
team of 1898, played together and with
spirit, but no attempt was made to do
anything startling on the offensive. The
Olympic team, with its stalwart weighty
linesmen, showed the want Of game
practice and the onsIaughts against the
California line rarely brought appreciable
gains. Victory for the Blue and Gold
came by the plucking of an opportunity
which was the result of a tumble. By
excellent defensive work the Olympic Club
made a fixture Of California three yards
from the goal and secured the ball. In
stead of punting it out of danger the sig
nal was given for Sheehy to take the pig
skin and break holes in the opposing line,
He found his opening and was about to
plunge down the field when the ball fell

The White Star Steamship Line Cuts
Passenger Rates.

New York. Feb. 27.-Ocean steamship
mer. The White Star Line has announced
a general reduction in saloon rates and
the other big lines will probably meet the
cut Last season the minimum rate for
was 800. This summer the White Star
line will sell saloon tickets for the Ma
jestic and Teutonic for $40. while for the
Germanic. Britannia. and Cymbric. the
minimum saloon rate will be $50. LAST
season tickets for the Cymbric sold for $50,
while those for the Britannia. and Ger
manic sold for S75. For the remainder OF
the winter season the White Stars rate
from New York up to and including the
steamer sailing on April l2, and from
Liverpool up to and including the steamer
sailing on July 10 will be $50 for the Ma
1estic and Teutonic. a cut OF SO. and $50
for the other ships, cut OF so for two of
them. The summer season at this port
begins on April 10 and ends on June 2S.
and at Liverpool the season begins on
July 26 and ends on October Is. The
White Star will not change its second
cabin rates this summer. but for the re-
mainder of the winter season the minimum
rate will be $3.50 instead of $3.50. The
announced reduction of saloon rates from
the agreed standard OF SlGG may result in
a rate war among the lines Any member
of the steamship association has the right
to break away from the standard passen
ger rates at any time. and the White Stars
action is therefore perfectly honest
