STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 81
Stanford took an easy victory from the
Rugby team of the University of Me-
vada today, winning by a 26 to score.
Though hopelessly outclassed, the Wis
itors played pluckily on the defensive
and neved Jagged for moment. Large
" owing to the absence of Koerner
from Stamford, the Sagebrushers had
a decided advantage in the serum and
especially during the fret half, secured
the ball in every serum or Uncut.
But the blue and white backtteld
neither was fast nor aggressive enough
to get a rush started before its light
PLAYERS were smothered by the Car
linal forwards.
The visitors made good gains by drib-
bling rushes, but from the beginning
it was only a question of how large
a score the speedy Stanford backtield
would be able to register. Faulkner
at full for Stanford played spectacular
Rugby and did splendid kicking, while
Homer of Nevada saved his team many
times by clever kicks to touch.
The teams lined up as follows:

POMONA WINS

Quarterback Vale Makes Thrilling
Ninety-Yard Run 20 Touchdown
After Receiving Ball on
tumble

CLAREMONT, Oct. 31.-In a spec
tacular game this afternoon Coach
Stanton's warriors outplayed Whittier
16 to 6. Two spectacular scores were
made in fumbles. Vale made ninety
yard run to touchdown after picking a
fumbled ball from a hard tackle.
Shortly afterward Rennecker ran a
shorter distance for touchdown. Short
kicked goal.
Pomona later was held for downs
six inches from her goal. Pomona
played a pretty forward pass on a fake
place kick. Lorber made touchdown
later, Pomona again failing to cover it.
The half ended to 10 in favor of
Pomona. In the second half a repeti-
ton of the fake play enabled Gore to
run the ball nearly up to the goal line
for a touchdown by Shut, who covered
goal. The second half was largely a
punting battle, without further scor-
ing. Coach Woodward said Whittier's
weak place was in fumbling. Coach
Stanton said he was satisfied to win;
that Pomona had all they could do.

HOPES IN THAT WAY TO BEAT

BARRY DECLARES HE is READY
FOR ANYTHING
Huskies Expected to Put UP Highly
Exciting Battle over Ten-Round
Course Friday Night at
Mccarey's Pavilion

There will be a plenty doing at the
fight camps this afternoon with the two
Jims-Barry and Flynn-entering upon
their four days of work for. the heavy
weight elimination contest that Man
ager McCarey will stage over the ten
round route next Friday evening. Both
big boys may have loafed bit in the
early days in their training camp, but
from now until next Thursday there
will be nothing but strictly business
ahead of them.
This is made necessary in the fact
that neither scrapper is so dead sure
of victory that he feels justified in TAX
ing a chance that he will be lacking in
any detail of condition for that meet
ing. Neither has any definite line on
the other, although they fought ten
round battle near Denver a few months
ago, and about all that they know of
each other is that it will be hard
fight and a furious one, set over ter
rible pace for the ten rounds-or less,
as each figures on winning by the
knockout route.
Barry and Flynn should put up as
near a whirlwind fight as any heavy
weights in the business. Flynn is a
mixer and depends upon his ability to
set the pace and slam over winning
wallop, while Barry is cleVerer and has
all confidence in his ability to engage
in a fast fight because he has the wal
lop to back up his cleverness. Barry
knows that Flynn is going into the
ring with the determination to tight
him off his feet in ragtime, If it is pos
sible, and he is training for condition
to be able to stand up and swap wal
lops in a Ve-and-take battle.
Flynn is losing no time in the train
ing camp and has a most excellent
corps of assistants, so that he can go
the route in his workouts and get the
best results possible from systematic
and strenuous work. Barry has been
training easily until within the last
day or two and now will get down to
bedrock and put on the finishing
touches. He also has good corps of
helpers and is getting all the boxing
and rough work he desires.
The fans have been demanding a few
bouts between the big fellows, and
Manager McCarey is following out his
plans for staging elimination contests
in his efforts at finding a suitable OPP
ponent for Tommy Burns when the
champion returns from Australia. Bar
ry is touted as the coming champion
of the world, because of his clever
ness and his kick and the fans appre-
ciate the opportunity of seeing the big
young man in action. Flynn should
make him extend himself, unless he is
better than form indicates, and If he
finishes the fighting fireman within the
limit there can be no further doubt
as to his ability and right to meet the
champion. The winner probably will
be matched with the winner of the Al
Kaufmann-Terry Mustain scrap that
the Jeffries club will stage NoVem-

Captain Taylor Gets Back in the Con-

Esneola1 to The Herald

HOLLYWOOD, oct. 31.-The unde-
feated high school football team add
ed another victory to its list today on
the home grldiron by defeating the
Whittier high eleven by the score OF
5 to 0. The contest was very fast and
filled with stunt plays, but the two
schools were so evenly matched that
no score was made until late in the
second half. Captain Taylor was in
the contest again, and by his clever
work was able to score the only touch
down of the day.
On the Whittier kickoff the Holly
wood captain carried the ball twenty
yards before he was downed. He then
punted forty yards into Writers ter
ritory where, on a series Of pretty
team plays, Hollywood recovered
through long forward pass, but here
lost the ball on the third down about
the center of the field Taylor, who
played right half in Tuller's place,
now tore off a beautiful twenty-five
yard run, but Hollywood lost out on
three downs Through a series of
punts Whittier drove the pigskin to
HollyWood's twenty-five yard line, but
Taylor also was there with fifty-five
yard punt The two eleVens seesawed
ended with the ball about the center
of the field.
In the second half Hollywood's kick
off gave her a great advantage and
through a clever trick play Taylor car
ried the ball over the line for the only
score of the game Whittier then came
back strongly, nearing Hollywood's
line Hatch took the ball over the
line, but in this run he went far over
the outside field line and his run did
not count The elevens battled over
the gridiron for the remaining portion
of the half with no scoring results and
the game ended with Hollywood five
points in the lead.
The feature of the game was the long
runs of Taylor, who played half until
the last five minutes of play. Knowles
played a strong game at full, while
Hollywood's ends were there at tack
ling. Whittier's full made some great
gains for his team, and French was
there on line bucks. The punting of
| the visitors was excellent. Owing to
the heavy bucks many players were
laid out, which stretched the game out
for two hours. The contest took place
at 10 a. m. because many of TIC play
ers wanted to see the Colorado-S st. Vim
cent battle at Fiesta park. The line
up was as follows:
