yard line Then Valentine punted some
more and the pigskin went sailing over
Stanford's goal line. 1t was brought out
to the 25-yard line and punted back into
California's territory. For the next ten
minutes the play was of the open order
nothing but punts and punts ard punts,
from one side to the other. The ball was
pendulum, ever in the air. Suddenly
Valentines long, hard drives were trans
formed into high, short-distanced kicks
and Stanford obtained the pigskin on Cal
ifornia's 30-yard line.
Now is the time to score" came from
the leathern-throated yellers on the Stan
ford section. Captain Raitt took the tip
and so did his team. But thirty yards
separated them from a touchdown and
visions of victory fitted before their
eyes. Smash, bang the cardinal went into
the blue and gold, and trail of supine
players marked off the distance gained
Right up to the goal line went the un-
checked, plunging redshirts. One foot
away, yet it seemed a mile to Stanford,
for they could not make the distance in
the first or second attempt. If the third
trial proved fruitlesS the ball would go
TO California. The third trial brought
success, however, and the game was won
by three-eighths of an inch. for that is
all the bail was over the middle Of the
California goal line.
When the decision was announced red
flags were at premium and much stri-
dent noise hoated over the field. The goal
was Kicked and the score read-Stanfprd

remained and nothing on which a score
could hinge was done by either side.

IT'S a touchdown" yelled his
Stanford antagonist.
The referee sided with the latter, and
now the freshmen of the Palo Alto Uni
versity are three shades more joyous than
their crimson colors; the Californians are
blue without the gold relief.
Stanford won the game by a single
touchdown secured after the hardest kind
Of a plugging line fight not more than five
minutes before the game ended. Every
California student inside the grounds said
that the touchdown was not made, but
counterbalancing this purely Ane-sided
asseveration was an equally positive as
sertion from the Stanford contingent that
the goal had been reached by the red
shirted colts. 1t took the referee five
minutes to clear the crowd off the field
for the youngsters in their wild and un-
restrained enthusiasm broke all bounds
ard rushed upon the gridiron. He came
10 the conclusion that the touchdown was
a reality and so the Stanford freshmen
won the game
1t was hard-won victory and brought
out a gritty defense from the Califor-
mans. One foot from the goal line Stan
ford tried to force victory through Cali
fornia's line. The cardinal colts, still in
the griEtle Of athletic manhood, hurled
themselves against their opponents, but
no gain resulted. A second time they
tried. Roberts had the ball. He was
partially over the line, but like a locomO-
tive, end on, the entire California team
caught him in the middle and he went
down TO earth with his face toward his
own goal Another fierce rush followed,
but the California line did not waver.

BERKELEY, Oct 2S-The football team
of the Centerville High School lined up
against the Berkeley High School this
morning upon the University of Califor-
MIA gridiron. The home team was in no
sense a match for its opponents From
the start the game proved one-sided
Centerville played with a snap and pre-
cision against which the Berkeley boys
could do nothing. Three times during the
first half did the ball go over the line
for a touchdown, and when the second

ever waRed against an opposing eleven
she wrested victory from Princeton on
Percy Field to-day by a score of to o.

were repeatedly interrupted by various
players succumbing to the strain of the
fierce work, the teams struggled, with the
odds slightly in favor OF Cornell Prince
ton was outplayed, both in defensive and
offensive work, and as the game pro-
gressed Cornell seemed to let out a great
reserve force, which was productive of
telling work. In punting, which was re-
sorted to freely by both elevens, Captain
Starbuck held out well, and toward the
latter part Of the contest he was out
punting Wheeler. In catching punts for
runs or kicking Walbridge and Young ex-
celled and seldom lost even yard on a
tumble. Princeton, on the contrary, was
weak in this respect.
The great feature Of the game was
YOung's goal from the field, which won
the contest for Cornell. 1t was made IN

The game at San Rafael yesterday be-

final score being II to 0. This is the
largest score that has been made against

making splendid gains by his long punts,
one of which covered fifty-fve yards.
