San Francisco, April 10. All
efforts to check the flames at
Van Ness avenue by blowing up
a mile of buildings on the east

proved fruitless. The fire has
spread across the broad thorough

ions the entire western addition,
which contains the homes of peo-
pie of the wealthy class, is now
doomed. The destruction of the
western addition of the city
practically completes the work of
the ravaging flames and marks
the devastation of the entire city.

FIRST REAL GAME
UNDER NEW RULES
Carlisle ViIlanOVa Contest
Widely Criticised by the
Spectators.
FUMBLING WAS CONSTANT
Play Replete With Brilliant Rushes
and Thrilling Tackling-Risk Of
Dropping Ball Great.

CARLISLE, Sept p. - The first real
game OF football under the new rules
was played here yesterday between the
teams Of Carlisle Indians and Villa
nova College The Indians won by .
70 o, scoring a touchdown and goal in
the first Ealf and failing 10 score in the
second.
The game was Variously criticised by
the largest crowd that ever witnessed
a contest here. The side lines were
filled with football experts, who received
the game rather unfaYorably, The spec
taUors. however. appeared 10 enjoy II
more than the old sport and regarded
the rules as distinctly desirable.
Play Very open.
As matter OF fact the play was very
open ard interrupted by almost con-
staat fumbl.ng There was a great
amount OF kicking and the ball changed
hands many times on kicks and fumbles.
Nilanoya tried a forward pass on the
first play following the opening inter
change IF kicks. and IL succeeded ln
gaining ten yards. After short gains.
however, they lost the bah through The
ball touching the ground without touch
ing a player on AN attempted forward
pass.

tackles but the fumDliug made the
game remarkable tor the number of

Long Passes the Feature.
The passing was more o. the chaIac-
ter OF that familiar I'm basketball than
that which has hitherto characterized
football Apparently 1t is the Intention
of football coaches TO try repeatedly
these frequent long and risky passes.
Well executed. they are undoubtedly
highly spectacular bus the risk Of
dropping The ball is SO great as 10 make
the practice extremely hazardous and

ON the other hand, III seemed impos-

was uOJ successful, even against the
