BERKELEY, Nov 14.-For the fifth
consecutive time the football team of
Stanford university has defeated the
University of California, the score to-
day being II to 8.
In almost every department of the
Rugby game the Cardinal men out
played their opponents, and through
out the struggle was a desperate one
on the part of an inferior team against
better one.
CALIFORNIA; s lone score was made in
the first half. Stanford here scored
six of her dozen points, adding the
other six in the second portion.
Mitchell, Pemberton, Holman and
Miller made Stanford's four tries,
Crawford missing every goal Cert
made the California score, Harris
missing goal.
The crowd probably was the largest
that ever witnessed a game between
the rival universities, being estimated
at 10000. The opposing bleachers were
brilliant with dashes of the rival
colors-Cardinals to the west and Blue
and Gold to the east. Some time be-
fore the game the Berkeley rooters
displayed a huge bear made entirely
side was hung out a thirty-foot ban
ner, on which were the scores of the
games in the last five years, and be-
meath, the legend, "Oh, Berkeley,
Amt it. Awful?" The roofing was
quite as noisy as ever, and for the
most part the songs and yells of for
mer years were retained, California
for the first time abandoning her
yale importation" boolas
Under the impulse of the students
rhythmic swaying during their songs
the Stanford bleachers treInbled con-
siderably during the first half and 200
of the fainter hearted left at the end
of the half. There never was any dan
ger however, as an examination of
the supports at the end of the game
showed them to be as firm as ever.
Despite the gritty work of the Cali
fornia men they found themselves
gradually worn out by their opponents,
until at the end they were altogether
unable to withstand the determined
cardinal rushes. The superior weight
in the Stanford serum told constantly
against the California fifteen, especial
ly in the latter part of the second halr.
Stanford's passing was immensely
superior to that of California and her
forwards did better work in dribbling.
The kicking of the two teams was
about equal. Stanford heeled out of
serum more times than California.
Crawford, Faulkner, Mitchell and
Holman stood out as the brightest
stars of the Cardinal constellation,
Crawfords kicking being excellent, ex-
cept after the four tries. Phleger and
Dwiggins played strong for California,
the latter breaking up passing ad-
Yances at several stages of the game.
In the first half Butler kicked off
for California, and after a succession of
kicks, tried for q field goal from the
40-yard line missing by a small mar
oil, rail " hU Stanford
brought the ball to California's 30
yard line, where it was stopped by
DWiggins. Mitchell secured the ball
from serum, lodged Dwiggins and
hurdled Butler, crossing California S
line for the first try, Crawford missing
an easy goal Stanford 3, California 0.
Dwiggins, Swartz, Cert and Phleger
carried the ball for California in sew
eral plays to Stanford's 10-yard line,
but Erb kicked to touch at California s
3O-yard line. Watts kicked to STAN
fords 5-yard line. Sorenson, Mark
wart and Cert, in a brilliant passing
rally, carried the ball over for Cali
fornia's only try. Harris missed goal.
Stanford 6, California 8.
Near the beginning of the second half
California dribbled to Stanford's S. 4-yard
line, but the ball was returned to CEN
ter Twice within the next few min
utes California, dribbled across the
Stanford line, but in each case Cad
waIlader fell on the ball and prevented
a try. After the last of CALIFORNIA; s
two failures the ball was returned into
touch at her 90-yard line. Crawford
carried it ten yards further, after
which Holman was passed the ball by
1Irb from serum and ran twenty yards
to a try. Crawford missed goal. STAN
ford, 8; California, 3.
After a 30-yard dribbling rush Miller
got the ball on California's 5-yard line
