Berkeley Wins
Over Oaks By
Heavy Margin
Larger High School Team Neat
Iy OufCiaSSed by CIevernesS
of Rival Eleven

Before a crowd of 1000 enthusiastic
rooters who weathered the storm yes
terday afternoon. the crack red and
yellow backed eleven of Berkeley high
trounced their rivals, Oakland high, by
the overwhelming score of 81 to 5.
The game was very clean one, both
sides seldom taking out time. The
Berkeleyites outclassed their oppo-
nents at every stage of the game, Oak
lands backs being able to make their
yards on rare occasions.
Berkeley had a forward pass forma-
tion which was entirely new, and it
worked like a charm. The half would
run until tackled and would then make
a long pass to the other half or full
who had been interfering for him. This
play made numerous gains for the red
and yellow, Oakland's backs being un-
able TO break ii up. Berkeley's onside
kicks also were a puzzle to the blue
backs
All of the Berkeley backs played an
exceptionally good game. Incell was,
as usual the star ground gamer and
defense player. His lodging on the
heavy field was a feature of the game.
He was responsible for a successful
drop and four points from tries for
goals. His punting was good consider
ing the condition of the ball. Wiley
so well this season. The whole Berke-
ley. line proved to be stone wall on
IOTmdllOQS, ana especially
when InceI made his field goal.
Oaklands men all seemed to have an
''off day" They lacked their usual
speed and their ends were especially
slow.
The game was particularly devoid
of fumbIing and considering the con-
dition of the field this was remarkable.
The longesl run of the day was made
by Daniels late in the second half,
when he broke through the Berkeley
line and scored after a run of So yards,
avoiding all of the college town
The game opened at $40, Incell
kicking off to Baum; Whitmeyer
punted 30 yards to Norris after Oak
land could not gain. The small quarter
Berkeley failed to gain and Incell
dropped back for drop. 1t fell short,
however, and a lucky bounce of the
ball put it out of the blue backs
ming over the line from the 20 yard
line. Incell converted an easy goal
From then on until the end of the
half, Berkeley had their own way,
four touchdowns and four goals being
scored, together with a drop which
Incell put over just before the half
time gun, making the score; Berkeley
27 Oakland 0.
The second period was more even,
although Berkeley could have scored
tutes in the lineup. Two touchdowns
were made, however, which were not
converted.
Oakland made their points near the
close. of the game. BeTkeleys sub

SANTA CLARA. Nov. 20.-The Santa
Clara high school Rugby team defeated
the Palo Alto high school fifteen on the
University of the Pacific grounds at
College park this afternoon. The score
was IL to 0.
Santa Clara by her victory today has
become factor to be reckoned with in
the struggle, for the high school cham
pionship of northern California. Lowell
high school of San Francisco and the
local boys are to play to decide the
championship.
Palo Alto was completely outclassed
in today's exhibition, and although
game to the core, the losers could do
nothing against the swifter and SUI
perior players of Santa Clara high. In
the first half honors fell almost even
TO both ifteens. The back and forth
game was played constantly. Toward
the end, however. Santa Clara took a
decided squirt, and by clever kicking on
the part of White. the leather was
worked to the Palo Alto yard line.
From the serum Santa Clara secured
the ball and Hays leaped across the line
Score, Santa Clara 8. Palo Alto o. The
half closed with neither side in ad-
vantage.

visitors territory was invaded. and
Draper carried the second try oyer for
Santa Clara from the serum. Alex

The Palo Alto team did not put up the
game today they have been playing
throughout the season. while Santa
Clara played the snappiest and most
consistent kind of an exhibition.
The kicking of Alexander and White
of Santa Clara were the features of the
contest, both showing they are far
above the high school class in that line.
Steinhart Cochina and Clayton also did
good effective work for Santa Clara
high. while Reisling, Mills and Boul-
weir starred for Palo Alto. The latter
were in the thick of every play. and
many getaways were opposed by them.

ACADEMIC TITLE WILL

of League Hinges on Alameda
Polytechnic Game Next Thursday
BY HERBERT HAUsER

The Academic athletic leagues cham
pionship football (American) game will
be played on Thanksgiving afternoon
at the Preside athletic club grounds
between the Alameda and Polytechnic
high schools. The contest promises to
be an exceedingly close one and should
be fight from start to finish.
The eleven of the Alameda school
does not come up to the one which
represented the school last year. 1t
lacks the spirit and misses the gen
eralship of Minnie" Brush, the 1908
quarter. There has been considerable
dissension in the team owing to the
dispute over coach. The fraternity
members of the school favored Ralph
Marks, a graduate of the school, who
attended Pennsylvania last year while
the opposing faction was out for Pete"
Smith, who turned out the victorious
team of last year and who has coached
Polytechnic successfully this term.
This dispute has caused dissensiOn a
good part of this season and it may be
the cause of Alameda's defeat. The
boys from across the bay will be some
what heavier than the local school and
Poly will find quite job stopping
Kiser's plunges through the line and
his fierce runs around the ends though
by the way, these end positions are
about Poly'S strongest points.
There is one thing that the local team
must overcome If it expects to win,
and that is to hold on to the ball. In
all the games the red and black has
played this season the boys have made
many costly fumbleS. which allowed
their opponents TO score. A team of
championship caliber should not fun

In comparing this seasons team with
those of former years, il is very dis
coura ging to the lovers of the old style
game. In fact, there is no comparison
The eleven that represents POlytech-
mic this year does not figure with that
one which participated against Berke-
ley some years ago nor did the one of
that time compare to the strong team
of some years before that, when Duden
Davidson, Gendotti and others played
Alameda's team this year does not
come up to it's champion team of last
year, nor those of several years ago
