THISTLES OCTCLASS
OCCIDENTAL ELEVEN
winners Puzzle the Losers by Tricky
Passing of the Ball and by
Superior Team Work.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 27.-Not once did
the Occidentsls have a chance to.
score goal in their game with the
crack Thistles in the association foot
ball game played this afternoon on the
Nebster-street field. The losers
were outclassed and at times their
opponents toyed with them. When
the referee sounded his whistle for
the close of the second half the Occi-
dentals were the possssors of. a goose
egg and the Thistles were five to the
good. Two of the victors' goals were
kicked in the first half and three in
the second half. The clever passing
and team work of the winners was
the best witnessed on the grounds this
season. So Systematically and scien-
tiically was it done that the Occi-
dentals were often puzzled and be-
wildered at their opponents tactics.
At no stage of the play was it neces-
sary for the Thistles to extend them
selves and they kept the pigskin
sphere constantly in the Occidentals'
territory. 1t was the first appearance
OF the Thistles on the Webster-street
field and their brilliant work highly
pleased the large crowd that watched
the contest. The elevens lined up
as follows:
Thistles-GoaT keeper, Lowe; left
back, Tierney; right back, Forrest;

the Vampires defending the north and
the Independents the south goal. The
Vampires had the wind in their favor.
but the sun was in their faces. From
the start the Vampires played a fast
game and kept the ball in their OPP
ponents' territory most of the time.
Three fine shots were sent straight for
the middle of the goal. but Forbes kept
them all out. After fifteen minutes
play the Independents rushed the ball
down the field and scored a goal from a

FAMOUS RIDER AS UMPIRE
Contest Is Marked by Unusual
Severity of Play, Each
Side Disputing Every Inch

The holiday polo match on the private
field Of Francis J. Carolan, master Of
Crossways, yesterday, was marked by
unusual severity of play and by stub
born contest for supremacy. There
were six periods Of ten minutes each
scheduled. but by an oversight of the
timekeeper most of them were consid-
erably longer. This made hard work
for both players and ponies.
The score was four goals TO two in
favor of the Whites.
That the Whites score was not larger
was due chiefly to E. W. Howard, who
stopped the ball frequently just at their
goal Tobin and Lawson made two
goals each for the Whites. while the
two FOR the Reds were made by Law
renee McCreery.
Although Mr. Carolan scored no goals.
his play was unusually fine and he add
ed must strength to his side. 1t was
evident neither Driscoll nor Dunphy
was in his best form, for the ODDS were
in favor OF their side winning.
The game was umpired by Mr.. Ezra,
noted player from India, who en-
forced the latest English rules. the first
time they have been used here. The
sides were as follows:
Whites-F. J. Carolan, r. NJ. Tobin.

CLOSE MATCHES
ON THE COURTS
Schmidt and Rolfe With Allen
and Hill Remain for Finals
of Tennis Doubles Tourney

The handicap doubles tennis tourna-
ment commenced on Christmas day at
the California Club courts was COM
pleted yesterday down to the finals.
The matches were all so long and so
hard fought that the players reaching
the finals were unable to continue The
successful teams were Herbert Schmidt
and Harry Rolfe and Will Allen and
DR.. H. P. Hill.
The matches of yesterday were the
closest and most interesting seen in
the club courts in months. The last
match of the day was by far the best.
All three sets went to deuce-vantage
The contestants were Alien and Hill
and Ray Splivalo and Ray Cornell. The
latter received a handicap of lowe So"
With the same odds they had previous
ly beaten VIII Collier and c. ]. Smith,
and were expected to win. The handi-
cap men after having a lead of So,
which they lost, finally pulled out the
set, Sc. In the second set they again
led at 5-2, and in the eighth game the
favor Allen and Hill by clever playing
soon ran the score up to SIS. At 6-5
and 40-30 the match looked over, when
Cornell, through overanxiety, smashed
a short lob into the fence. Allen and
Hill won this set, Sc. In the third set
the scratch men led at So. The handi-
cap men, to the surprise of the specta-
tors, evened up the score at SIS and led
at 6-5. Allen and Hill again ran out
the set, SIS. Splivalo was tired in this
match and his partner was forced to
cover most of the territory on his side
of the net. Both men played better
than ever before, but Splivalo hugged
the net too closely.
Another good match was that be-
tween Harry Rolfe and Herbert Schmidt
and Sidney Salisbury and Frank String
ham. The former received the trifiing
odds of cove 1-6." Like the foregoing
match, this one was full of long rallies
and the. outcome was in doubt until the
end. SDliyalo and Cornell had a hard
time beating Smith and Collier in the
first round. Collier played rather a
weak net game, and got short lobs
back instead of killing them. Splivalo
and Cornell played a fine defensive
game, their lobbing being excellent.
Allen and Hill allowed Dan Volk-
mann and Herbert Gray an extremely
large handicap and just managed to
win out, the last two sets being close.
The final match will be played Sat
urday afternoon and should be good
one. Schmidt and Rolfe will receive
odds of "owe So They reached the
