CAR GOES OVER BANK.
The Cadillac car which started a
little before the Columbia car went
south was wrecked bout eighty miles
out of Los Angeles. The car was
going along at a clipping pace with
one of the boys who was thought to
know the road at the wheel Suddenly
they came to a turn The driver had
been figuring that the turn should be
made to the left when in fact it had
to be made to the right They were

error was discovered and before it
could be corrected the two left wheels

was thrown out and knocked uncon-

bruises. The spokes of the two left
wheels were ripped out of the rims.
while the tonneau and body of the car
were badly smashed. The engine. how
ever, did not suffer any damage and
was running when the crew got back
to the car. 1t was close call for all

play of three passes, and then a short
kick when the man was about to be
tackled. This took the ball to the
twenty five-yard line. Stanford, by
clever c1ose-in passing, rushed the ball
TO the two-yard line. Berkeley then
worked the ball back a few yards
when Stanford got a penalty and a
chance for free kick from the thirty
yard line.
FENT0N KICKS GOAL.
Fenton kicked the goaiEas pretty
one as ever kicked-and scored three
more points for the cardinals, thus
giving them a lead of TO 8.
University of California got a penal
ty on the forty-five-yard line, and
Whitman tried for field goal, but the
try was a hard one, and the ball went
TO one side of the goal After the
kick-out Stott got the ball from the
serum and made pretty kick for forty
yards.
STOTT GETS CLEAN PASS.
Stott got clean pass from Lau-
meister and carried the ball to the
7yard line before being downed in
touch. Stanford got free kick on
penalty and tried another field goal
from the 23-yard line. Fenton made a
very good try, but missed

ton and ran 30 yards to the last u C.
man. The ball was placed in serum
and thus ended the first Rugby game
between Stanford and California, the
final score being to 8 in Stanford's s
favor.
FENTON STAR OF THE DAY.
Fenton was by far the star of the
game. His kicking and general head
work were wonderful. He deserves a
great deal of credit, as his kicking,
both on the field and for goals, went
far to win victory for his team
Stott, Chalmers and Laumeister all
did some very clever work In running,
kicking and passing the ball. In fact,
all of Stanford's backs are a fast,
lively and heady set.
Berkeley did very little passing and
seemed to depend on the forwards and
dribbling more than running and pass
ing.
The Stanford halfback seemed to get

Berkeley and he also got it to his
backs faster.

down for q little practice in kicking

Birmingham is the centre of the
jewelry manufacture of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain, and here
are trained jewellers of the most skill
full kind. Jewelry workmen have
emigrated to the United States in
such large numbers that in one of
the largest silverware factories in
America 900 men are employed who
learned their trade in Birmingham.
Formerly a great deal of jewelry was
exported from that district to the

Notwithstanding this, the jewelers.
trade of Birmingham is reported to
be better now than it has been for
some time. The keen competition of
German cheap and imitation jewelry
has so seriously interfered with the
Birmingham manufacturers that they
now make comparatively little imita-
ton work. Some nine-carat gold
jewelry is still made there, but the
finer type of ware is Birmingham's
staple.

the only stone that resists successful
