VICTORY FOR BLUE AND GOLD
MultnOmah Football Eleven Suffers
Defeat on GridirOn at Berkeley.

The University of California football
team had things all it's own way with
the Multnomah eleven yesterday in the
second half of the game at Berkeley.
Three touchdowns, a goal and a goal
from the field were secured with ease
after the visitors had lost heart and
got on the toboggan. The contest was
as slow as a funeral dirge in the first
half and neither goal was at any
time in danger. The Blue and Gold
commenced playing football after the
intermission and the spectators then
began to get some enjoyment out Of the
struggle.
The Multnomah team, which was
beaten so easily by California, played
tie game with Stanford a week ago.
A comparison of scores brought de-
light to the football enthusiasts of the
State University. None of them seemed
to reflect that flanagan plays twenty
five men in his practice games and
Hopper only fifteen in his.
The California team that played
Multnomah yesterday is at least a
touchdown better than the average
eleven that played the same outfit at
Palo Alto. but that is not faint indica-
ton that fourteen men who may play
with the Blue and Gold in the cham
pionship contest are better than the
same number of Cardinal huskies who
will be on the opposing side before
the battle is finished.
The bright, particular star of yester-
days game was Kern of the Califor-
Mas. He made tremendous gains
around the end and through the line
and kept his feet like a veteran after
being tackled. Lasater at full demon
strated the proper way in which to dig
into the line and at present is good
for more substantial gains than is
Jim" Weller of Stanford.
NO SCORE IN FIRST HALF.
Multnomah kicked off and California
punted back to center after the first
down. Elliott nailed the first runner
back of the rush line. Northrop made
fifteen yards around the Blue and Gold
left end on the next play. Here the
home team held four downs. Heitmil-
Ter Immediately punted forty-five
yards. The visitors made fifteen yards
on line plays and then lost the ball on
a tumble. California fumbled twice
and lost the ball on downs Multi
nomah worked the ball up to Cal
ifornias forty-yard line on line
plays and then Koran was forced to
punt The pigskin sailed up to the Blue
and Gold ten yard line where Graves
made a fair catch. The ball was kicked
back to center.
Honors were even until the half was
over, although Kerrigan Of Multnomah
made twenty yards on a quarterback
run few moments before the end
After the intermission the Blue and
Gold began to get alive to the necessity
of doing something Gray kicked near
Iy to the goal line and Northrop of the
visiting eleven was downed two feet
from the scoring point. Koran punted
out of immediate danger. but Lasater,
holes in the opposing line. The ball
and Lasater went through for the
touchdown. Heitmuller. in attempting
to kick out, sent the ball over the
heads of his team and the chance for
the goal was lost.
KERN'S SIXTY-YARD RUN.
Kern and Mead went in back of the
line for California and made from FIVE
to twenty yards at a clip through the
center and around the ends The home
eleven was getting close to the enemy's
goal when the pigskin was fumbled,

was penalized fifteen yards for allow
ing the quarterback to run with the
hall. The team then lined I'D for an
