BEST IN THE SCRUMS
In the scrums the Stanford men had
the better Of the argument in so far
as hooking the ball was concerned,
but when they did get it they made
ver- little use OF the advantage gained
owing to the California breakaway
men being particularly active Insthe
loose play California made mp for is
seeming slaclness in the serum and
Dlaved all around the Stanford for
wards They were IN the game all
the time and had the better Of the
open work. The game all through
was a forward game and the backs
on either side did not get the oppor-
tunities they should have had Again,
when they did get the ball, many
tumble was made, and some possible
scores lost
On the lineouts, when tho Califor-
MA men we're attacking and had the
bali well within the Stanford terri
tory there was a noticeable misplay
on behalf OF the California forwards
in not lining out right across the feld-

BRILLIANT PASSING
The first half was a splendid exhi-
hition. and some brilliant passing
PUSHES were started The loose play
was also very open and fast IN this
half. In the second half the game was
closer and there were not the oppor-
funitios 10 open up the play that there
should have been. At the same tme
fhere were many brilliant bouts, but
nos the equal of the first spell. All
.he officials are unanimous in their
verdict that on the days play the best
team won. but. al the Same time, theS
give fon credit to Stanford for play
ing with q crippled back Ieid. ihe

TO disorganize the combined back play
Of tic cardinals and mad they been in

,vo,Ila have given a better account OF
themselves. The Stanford back play
Yesterday was not on par with What
6as been done in the practice games
and the whole attack seemed TO be
5e,,oral lied. on the other hand the
California team never. played better
~yar,e in its career. The boys were
Sgbters from the word go and deter
rination was written on every one of
their faces.
DECISIONS IMPARTIAL
Great credit is due Referee Jenkin-
son for the splendid manner he handled
tl,e game His decisions were at all
times given fairly and ilnpartiady.. He
IS 10 be highly commenced Tor MS
decisions in regard to the interference
,-sfe and in this respect Stanford gave
4be blue and gold men points by
.Tenlzinson having TO penalize Stanford
twice for obstruction.
1-ba star Of the day was Elliott OF
f,s1ifornia. He was whirlwind at his
nosition at five eighth, and his attack
,,-ae better than that OF any other man
an flle team he was up with the bali
~ All times and was constant menace
III his opponents passing rushes by
continually sntercepting- on defense
l,e was splendid. Dwiggins at fullback
also showed to advantage and with FL
liott shared the honors Of The day His
rndiny Of touch was accurate and his
izicsSs always well judged and well
lined. He got his kick away per-
fectly every time.
