Defend Well
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The St. Marys college team yester-
day gave the Stanford freshmen team
trouncing to the tune of 13 points
to nothing at Stanford. The game was
well fought and was more even than
the scores would indicate. The ST.
Mary's team played aggressive foot
ball from the start and had their con-
dition been as good in the final stages
of the game as was the Stanford team s
the score would have been bigger.
The Stanford babies rallied in the
final periods of the game and kept the
Oakland collegians on the defensive
most of the time The first half was
very even and well contested, though
the Stanford men had most of the de-
fensiye part of the play. For the ST.
Mary's team the work of the five
eighths line was particularly good, and
Hughes and Simpson were the main
stays in getting the whole back field
moving in concerted action.
Simpson was the individual star of
the game and he scored all the tries
for the st. Mary's team, while little
Diavala converted them into goals
Leonhardt was a first class fulIback
and Roth, HIATT and Bell in the for
wards were in the play all the time
Reeves showed as the best defensive
player on the Stanford team. Brown,
Mitchell, Gard and Watkins in the for
wards were the best of the pack and
followed up well, though the absence
of Olmstead and Boulware was keenIy
felt by the freshies. Walter Camp was
an interested spectator at the game
and spoke to the bleacherites. His
remarks were in the same strain as
those delivered at California last
Saturday. and the intercollegiate foot
ball expert did not commit himself
either for or against Rugby
For the first five minutes of the
game play was in neutral territory.
Then the St Mary's forwards, headed
by Hughes, took the ball to the Stan
ford line, where Hughes was tackled
with the ball by Kaufman. st. Mary's
kept up the attack and Simpson even
tually went over for try. Diavala's
kick failed. st. Mary's 3, Stanford O.
Stanford now took up the attack and
Gard and Watkins were prominent in
the succeeding play. From a serum at
half way Tilton passed out to Harrigan
and the latter sent it. on to Reeves,
who ran well for 80 yards right on to
the st. Mary's line, where he fooushly
passed to Roberts and sure score was
lost. Shortly after this Tilton, Reeves,
Harrington, Roberts and Henry
brought the bleachers to their feet
with a fine passing rush and serum
was FORMED on Ihe oI. mary line. The
st. Mary's defense was good and no
further score was made up to half
time
After the kickoff the play was fea-
tured by the brilliant passing of the
ST. Mary's backs. and Hughes scored
two more tries, both of which Diavala
converted One Of simpsons tries was
the result of a As yard run right
through the Stanford team. The last
10 minutes of the game showed the
freshmen up to best advantage and
the superior condition of the babies
had the ST. Marys pinned in their own
territory all of this period of the play.
The freshies showed more of the
aggresiveness that their opponents dis
played in the earlier part of the game.
but their efforts were too late. The
teams were as follows:
