The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-12-01

quick fever not having reached so far
West there We're no takers and more
than once during the next three-quar-
tiers OF an hour there were moments
when Stanford enthusiasts felt like
kicking themselves for not having in
vested. They would have lost as mat
tiers turned out, but they would have
had a splendid run for their money.
The fifteen minute interval did Won
ders for the Stanford team, but they
did not begin 10 manifest themselves
until after Berkeley had taken advant-
age OF the first ten minutes following
the KICKOFF in making another touch
down and goal. Kangaroo" Kaars-
berg. who was easily the star Of the
Berkeleyites. made one run OF forty
five yards around the Stanford end
that was easily worth the price OF ad-
mission.
After that IN spite OF the fact that
three men Of the Stanford team too
badly used up 70 continue had been re-
leved by three others the blue and
gold players were not only unable 10
make any decided advances into stan
ford territory. but had 10 work their
hardest 10 keep their opponents from
scoring. What stanford may have lost
in team work from the retirement OF
Boren. Smith and Gilman was more
than made up apparently by the intro
duction OF Rudolph. Erb and Cairns
and the reds played football decidedly
worrisome 10 their opponents.
Rudolph was just little bit fantastic
with his poses and attracted consider
l,~ .l,z
feeling that he might pull the fat out
OF the fire. He worked as hard as a
beaver. however, and was cheerfully
forgiven for any grand stand attitudes
into which he fell.
There were continuous admonitions to
the cardinal team from the red benches
that now was their time to score and
they went in as If they believed il and
the Berkeley players had 10 set them
selves firmer and fight harder than they
had been led TO expect they would have
TO do earlier in the game. The result
was football Of a high order, some OF
the kind you read about in the meet
ings Of Harvard and Yale and Prince
ton and Cornell and Pennsylvania.
haarsberg dived higher and kanga-
rooed farther than ever Womble de-
veloped into more of worlds wonder
than ever. Greisberg and Hill and
/ Cornish were towers Of might, but do
al as they might their goal was several
times in danger during the half and
they never got dangerously close TO
Stanfords
a man with half an eye and not the
slightest knowledge OF football could
appreciate the beauties Of the game.
1t was the whole thing with no dis
count. the only pity being that it did
not, develop earlier.
IL didn't. however and Berkeley won,
30 TO 0. and the Berkeleyites went wild
as the game ended. They tore down
great strips Of blue and gold bunting
and, yelling like Indians. waving their
blue and gold caps and canes, footing
their horns and blowing their bazoos,
they followed the band doing a thou
sand footed serpentine on the gridiron
Of victory.s After yelling themselves
hoarse in the incoming fog they headed
uptown in triumphal procession, toot-
ing peans Of victory on their way TO
. Thanksgiving dinners till they couldn't
rest. All last night the city and its
theaters We're theirs. They celebrated
the night Of a great day and some are
celebrating yet.
Stanford was more sedate in it's en-
joyments as became losers, but they
look forward with hope TO another day
when the score shall be 30 to nit and
the nit may be Berkeley
