The Olympics won the toss up and
choose the south goal, giving the Multi
nomahs the kickoff. Mcmillan sent the
ball to the Californians 20yard line.
Dinsmore took the ball for an end play,
but the MultnoInah men We're there,
and he was downed with a loss of five
yards. The Oly1npics tried the line,
with no gains Fullback Atkinson then
punted for IS yards. Keirgan caught
the ball and returned it 20 yards with
his own interference. Mcmillan bucked
the Californians' line for nine yards.
Multnomah kept this up right down the
field, but lost, the ball on Olympic's So
yard line on downs. Atkinson went
through left guard and tackle for two
yards. McNevin was ten given the
ball and made five yards in the same
place. Atkinson made good plunge
through the line for Is yards and was
cleverly downed by Montague. Olym-
pic tried their halves again, but failed
to gain their yardage and Multnomai,
was given the ball. On the next play
Multnomah failed to make her yardage
and it was Olympic's ball. The San
Francisco team kept using it's backs.
but after gaining about 10 yards lost
the ball on downs. On the last play
Olyrnpics end was offside and Multn0-
nah was given 10 yards. When the
Olympics again got the pisskin Nc
Nevin made five yards on clever end
run, and Platt kicked the ball to the
Multnomah 15-yard line. The second
half was scarcely as interesting as the
first The visitors kicked off and the
ball was caught ON the 35-yard line by
Mcdonnell. Mcmillan carried it half
way across the field on his own inter
ference Mcdonnell kicked 35 yards and
the Olympics made five yards. Nc
Nevin made five yards through the
right guard, aided by a beautiful in
reference, in which all worked to-
gether.
With eight minutes Of play, Olympic
made her effort Of the game, but it
proved of no avail, for Multnoman's
men We're there every time. Dinsmore
made couple of small gains around
the end, but the California boys We're
forced to punt and Multnomah had the
ball when time was called.

AROUND KIMBERLEY.
The Boer Forces Have Left to Attack the,
Relief Column.

Kimberley, Nov "a. by way of Klok-
fontein, Nov. 21.-There were a few
rifle shots early to-day from the direc-
ton of Wrights farm. bU1 this was re-
garded as merely one Of the numerous
Boer tricks to draw our men out by
inducing us to believe that the relieving
forces are drawing near.
This afternoon the Beers blew up two
large culverts near the rifle butts, ont
the railway line toward Spytfontein.
The news of the proximity of the re-
lieving forces greatly cheered the garri-i
son and the inhabitants. A few Beers
were seen to-day, but it is believed that
the enemy is in only small bands
around Kimberley. lots of so or so, the
greater part having gone to Spytfon-
tein, where firing is believed to have
been heard about noon.
From katfir sources comes a report
that there are two large Boer laagers
at Olifant's dam, with $50 wagons, for
a water supply. .n
The Beers have cut the existing dam,
three miles distant. allowing the water
an old dry dam on the farm. This is
believed to be the Free State base of
operations on the western border. The
official estimate places the number of
Boer shells fired during the lombard
ment of Kimberley at about 1000 and
ours at no fewer than 600. AS the en-
emy's shells so frequently hit soft.
sandy ground. the explosive effect is
greatly neutralized.
All our wounded are IN a very satis-,
factory condition.
An armored train proceeded toward
Dronfie1d to reconnoiter but this i'm
mediately reused the enemys cordite
gun, and the train returned after the
fifth shell had been fired. i

lined up for their annual game. 1t is
safe to say that a least 10000 people
were on the grounds. From spec
tacular point of view the game was un-
interesting, and it was only college
spirit that kept the large crowd en-
thused
Before the game Berkeley was conf
dent of an overwhelming victory, but
the Stanford contingent hoped to keep
the score down, but they were doomed
to disappointment, as at no time of the
game was Berkeley's goal in danger
and the latter was able to score When
ever she pleased.
The Stanford men put up plucky
fight, but they could not Withstand the
rushes Of the Berkeley men, who kept
pounding the line till several of the
cardinal men were laid out and others
had to take their places.
Berkeley undoubtedly has the best
team that ever donned suits in Califor-
MIA. Her team work was superb and
her interference balked ,many tackles
and netted several long runs.
The only feature in which Stanford
excelled Berkeley was in the physical
condition of her men. Four times
Berkeley scored in the first half and
only once in the second. The blue and
gold visibly slackened her pace in the
second half, while Stanford was more
aggressive, and it was only in this half
that she was able to pierce the Berke-
ley line.
At the sound of the whistle Murphy
kicked off for Stanford. Berkeley tried
a buck for a gain OF one yard Then
Harrisburg returned the kick. After an
ineffectual attempt al bucking, Stan
ford kicked. Then Berkeley settled
down and with straight bucks and end
runs had the ball over the line in just
nine minutes play.
Four times in the first half the per-
formance was repeated. Karsburg
kicked goal each time and the score
stood "a to 0 at the end of the first
half.
Stanford, with a bulldog tenacity,
held off, however, and would not give
up. She encouraged her men and they
went to work harder than ever. It was
/ in this half that Captain Murphy had
to leave the game on account of an in
jury received two weeks ago. Smith,
halfback, and Eoren, fullback We're
also compelled to retire and their
places were filled by Raft, Erb and Ro-
dolph. Rodolph was only in the game
a few minutes. but he played Won
derful game, and it was partly due to
his work that the blue and gold did
not score oftener in the second half
Berkeley's backs did the star work.
Smith and Hall hit the line for many
gains, but Harrisburg was the hero. His
end runs and his hus sting over center
was phenomenal.
The line was as follows:

ing-Chcago Finishes Her Triumphant Series
by Taking Game From Brown.
CARLISLE PUT UP A MARVELLOUS CONTEST

Philadelphia, Nov. 3O.-The Pennsyl-
vania football eleven defeated Cornell!
on Franklin field to-day 20 to 0.
Cornell was lamentably weak, and es-
pecially in the line Only twice during
the entire game did the Ithacans stop
the Quakers' fierce ruches and then only
when the Pennsylvauians had almost
made the necessary five yards. When
Cornell had possession of the ball she
she showed up just as weak in advanc-
ing it as she did in trying to prevent
Pennsylvania from scoring. Cornell did
not earn first down, her few attempts
at end skirting being promptly nipped
by the Quaker ends. Her attack on
Pennsylvania line was also very weak,
seldom gaining a foot.
On the other hand, the red and blue
team played a superb game. The plays
We're gotten off rapidly and smoothly.
and Pennsylvania was seldom downed
without gain. The men worked as a
unit, and on the defense the team was
veritable stone wall. The Quakers
gave good exhibition of line bucking
and plunging--the best that has been
seen here this sea son. Wherever they
attacked the Cornell line they made big
holes in it, and broke through for f1ve,
10 and Is yards at time. With the
exception at the end of the second half
Pennsylvania never tried to send a run
ner around Cornells ends. The Quak-
ers' terrific rushes told on the Cornell
men. and the game was considerably de-
layed by players being injured Three
of Cornell's men were forced to leave
the, game, while Pennsylvania was in
tact throughout the contest.
Captain McCracken, Combs and Teas
were frequently used by Pennsylvania
in her rushes. and all acquitted them
selves well. Fully $4,000 people saw the
contest. The day was a beautiful one
from a spectators view point, but a
trifie warm for the players.
Pennsylvania made two touchdowns

made six minutes after the kickoff.

PLAYED IN THE MUD.
The Olympic's of San Francisco and the
Multnomah's Evenly Matched.

Portland, Ore. Nov. 30.-1n binding
wind and rain storm on field six inch
es deep with mud, the Olympic Athletic
club football team of San Francisco
played a tie game with Multnomah Ath-
letic club of this city this afternoon,
neither side being able to score. When
time was called the Multnomahs had
the ball.
At no time was there any danger of
either side scoring. as the teams were
very evenly matched and long end runs
were impossible, owing to the sloppy
condition of the field. Both teams
worked their backs incessantly. and
punting was frequent. No attempts
were made at goal kicking, as neither
team was close enough to try it.
For the Multnomahs, Mcmillan made
the most yardage and played the best
all round game, but he was ably Sec
onded by Mcdonnell and Myers. Mon

made several good tackles and formed
his interference well. For the Olympics
their quarterback, McNevin. played
snappy game and generally found
