STANFORD TIE VICTOR
Beat University of California at Foot
bail by 5 to o.

: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3O.--Less
than four minutes of play left and the
score 90. as Traeger dropped back for
a place-kick try for a field goal. while
5000 people held their breath in an
gony of suspense, and then the oval
igskin sailed upward high into the air,
traght and true above the center of
he crossbar OF the goal posts and the
that had been all but lost several
times during the play.
Traeger did the trick The stGadiness
of his nerve and the cunning of his
good right leg turned virtual defeat In
to victory. McFadden, Freshman Nc
Fadden, helped him. for his pass was
true. Freshman Bansbach placed the
ball just right and deserves well
generous need of credit for the cardin-
ais triumph.
The spectacular play that produced
the only points of the game and left
the score to in favor of Stanford,
where it stood when the whistle blew
at the close of the game, was ma lc
with only three minutes of play left.
The ball was nineteen yards from the
goal line with Stanford apparently un-
able to make the distance necessary to
keep possession OF the bail. If the try
at field goal should fail it meant an
other tie added to those that went be-
fore the days of larger scores, for with
the time so short for scoring effort
neither side could hope to win after
the ball should be once more in play.
Traeger dropped back to the 30.yard
line and Bansbach CrOuched in front
OF him to receive the long pass from
McFadden at the center position. The
Stanford line braCed itself dogRedly In
front of opponents poised for the
charge into them the moment the
ball should be snapedp. A few
in California's roOters' section i'm
plored the Berkeley players t. get
and block the ball and a stan
ford man or two found voice to beg the
line OF cardinal-jerseyed athletes to
hold. But these were only n few and
the remainder of the $4,000 people who
thronged grand stand and bleachers
sat with checked breath and hearts in
throats.
One moment tie seemed certain
