STANFORD'S RUGBY
"BABIES" MEET
DEFEAT.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. %
Fighting gamely the freshmen fifteen
of Stanford University went down to
defeat this afternoon by a score of
to before the picked aggregation
of Rugby players from Santa Cruz in
the first game of the season with out
side opponents
The young collegians put up stiff
front and were only scored against as
a direct result of a penalty caused
by their over-eagerness to snatch the
ball from the serum before it had
cleared the line of scrimmage. This
penalizing occurred in the first few
minutes of play. The visiting team
was allowed a free kick from the
forty-yard line. Davis, the coach and
dropped the ball neatly between the
sticks at this distance, scoring the
lone three tallies of the day.
Following the setback received so
early in the game the freshmen fought
an uphill fight for the remainder of
the contest. Only once did the Santa
Cruz men again seriously threaten the
Cardinal goal
MANY SENSATIONAL RUNS.
At the outset the contest proved one
of sensations and throughout the
match the "bleacherites'' were con-
stantly kept on their feet by long runs
or quick exchanges of kicks. Punting
duels figured largely in the match and
at this phase of the sport the col
legians proved their mettle, gaining
yards at every exchange.
: Little dribbling was attempted in the
first. half of the game, and it was not
until the second spasm of the fracas
that this exciting privilege Of the sport
was put into effect. The Santa Cruz
men excelled at dribbling, however
and booted the ball.for good again.
The freshmen serum was the strong
point in the Stanford lineup. The
visitors never had a look in at this
stage of the play. The ball was in
variably passed to the rear by the
Cardinal forwards Santa Cruz only
upon an exchange of kicks. a tumble
or when the ball was put into touch
The football training Of the prep
school gridiron stood the mensi in good
stead when it came to scrumming
This phase of Rugby corresponds
strongly to the American mass plays
The compact serum of the youngsters
outweighed and not outplayed the
seven heavy men of the Santa Cruz
lineup The Cardinal formation swept
ali before it. but failed to carry the
ball at the same time. This gave the
watchfuI visitors an opening time af-
ter time.
CARDINAL SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
The Cardinal back field showed a de-
cided improvement on past form, but
failed to take advantage of openings
