Peart and Allen were the bright stars

Rugby. both in the loose and in the

In the Nevada team Fletcher.
Leavitr and Bennett played the whole
game and the other members or the
team We're far below the form they
have shown in Reno in other games
this year. The game went the fun
regulation 40 minute halves and was
the first game this season TO be played
fuT time. Just half the score was
tailed in each half the score stand
ing at 81 points at the half time
A few minutes after California had
kicked off the play was taken to the
Nevada territory, and in less than 10
minutes California had scored three
tries In succession. Elliott scored the
first. then Peart got in, and Watts
scored The third after a good passing
rush. None OF these tries was con-
verted
The play settled in the center for
little while and California was penal
szed on several occa sions for Offside
play California gradually took the
PLAY back 10 the Nevada goal line
and 2 serum was formed. Morris
passed the ball To Allen and the latter,
with a fine sWerve, scored and Elliott
converted. California Il, Nevada Q.
The next sensation was fine so

between himself. Allen and Norris.
Pear was tackled near the Nevada
line and repassed 10 Allen, who was
eventually forced into touch and goal
Phleger Of California next intercepted
3 pass and ran down the field for %
wards to the goal line. Here he fool
sshly passed, but secured the ball again
from the rebound off Nevada players
head and went over for try. No goal.

Harris. Pauly and Stroud We're the
next California men 10 score and Har
rison converted StrOud's try into a
goal. making the score 2S for the blue
and gold. Just before half time a good
smashing rush resulted in the ball be-
ing handled by Norris, Allen. Elliott
and Peart, and the play went TO the
Nevada line. From serum Elliott
went across and the score at. half
time. stood at 81 TO 0.
The second half was a repetition
Of the first as far as scoring went, and
the passing rushes Of the California
men were irresistible The Nevada
men nroke away several times, but the
play was always brought back and
try scored for the pains taken to get
California so far away from the object
I've point In this half tries were
scored by Peart 4, Watts ?, Stroud and
Emerson and Allen i each, and Stroud
converted two goals. IL was in the
second half that all the California men
were injured, and each one had to pe
assisted from the field.
Mackay, Dubois and LeaFitt were
prominent in a rush that took play
from the Nevada line right TO the Cali
fornia 25 yard line. This was the oniy
time the bali reached there during the
whole game With another fine pass
the blue and gold took DlaV
hack 10 Nevada and almost the whole
Of the back division handled the ball.
