Blair had no other alternative, accord
ing to the laws of the game, than to
award a try to the attacking team.
Touch Judge Reading, who is also
well known as one of the leading
referees, said that Blair gave the only
correct and just decision and that he
heartily supported Referee Blair in
awarding the try to California

with the refereeing and said that the
referees, ruling on the particular point
was the only one he could have made.
STANFORD LOSES VICTORY
1t was unfortunate for Stanford that
Henry grabbed the California man, as
it took a victory from, the graspzof the
cardinals that had been won, and there
was only half a minute to play, in
which time is was an impossibiiity for
the Californians to score.

HOW GAME WAS PLAYED
The play:
O'Hara kicked off for California and
the ball went over the Stanford goal
line and the cardinal fullback touched
down. 1t was magnificent kick and
brought the bleacherS to their feet as
the fast California forwards bore down
on the Stanford back. Cfeissler dropped
out for Stanford. and Smith returned
to touch and from the throwin King
secured and passed TO Hale The lat
ter ran we'll to 10 yards of the Stanford
line and a serum was formed The
California hoOkers secured and heeled
out Mcmahon. but the little hanbaclSs
was sm0thered before he could get his
pass away. 8
MAKES GREAT RUN
The next sensation was spectacular
run by Reeves of Stanford right down
the field for 70 yards, but the whistle
was blown for a free kick to stanford
and Geissler found touch at the half
way flag Him secured from the !,
throwin and California kicked down to
Stanford Geissler. who ran and passed r
TO Mitchell The latter kicked to
Smith, who returned to touch with
well directed kick DiIls and Drake
were prominent in the next play and
they took the bail to neutral territory :
O'Hara was noticeable with a fine
line kick to Stanford territory, and
from the throwin Geissler kicked to
MacCliSe and a serum was formed.
Mike Smith was in the limelight soon
after by jumping up to puu down a
fiier. and as he came down TiIton up
set him with a good tackle. Offside by :,
California gave Stanford another free
kick. and Geissler punted high and a
knockon followed which resulted in a
serum. The ball was sent out to Mac
elise. who kicked to Geissler, and the
Stanford back made flair catch" The
latter found touch, and on the lineout
Fleming secured and passed TO Drake,
who made a fine run through the Stan
ford defense for 80 yards.
Harrigan relieved with a kick TO
touch and the Stanford men took play
to California line for the first time in
the game. California defended well and
brought play back to. the center OF the
field. where loose play and a series of
scrums took place. From one of the
scrums the ball Travelled from Mo
Mahon to Drake to Smith. and the lat
ter miskicked and lost several yards
for his side.

BOTH TEAMS ON METsTLE
Both teams were on their mettle, and
in none of their previous preliminary
games have they ever shown the abfli-
ty, grit and fighting ability that was
displayed yesterday. The teams were
far superior to any of their previous
efforts, and whether on attack or de-
fense, the men on.fsboth sides were
there and gave all they had. The game
also was noticeable for the keen sense
of rivalry between the respective
teams and at the same time the Jack
of what lis generally known in foot
ball as dirty work" Both teams
played for, all they were worth. They
played With dash and spirit and fought
the fight of their lives, but while they
fought they had that sense. of sports

there any sem blance1 of rough play. 1t
is such games played in this fighting
spirit that go to make the game pop

but it greatly enchances the ability of
the respective teams as players and
gentlemen in tile eyes of the public
OFFSETS CONSTANT ATTACK
+ In the first half California had little
the bestsof the argument and play was
for the greater part of this period in
the Stanford territory. In the second
half the Stanford men put on consider
able more steam and had the Califor-
snians sson, the defensive most of the
time. After the try, scored by Stanford

line was not crossed once more. How
ever. the California team managed to
break up the constant attack on her
line by the Stanford men toward the
finish and rush the ball right to
Stanford Territory. where they were
awarded a try. which was something
that the spectators will marvel at for
some time to-come.
j 1t was one last Herculanean effort on
the part of the California team and the
forwards putt every. ounce of energy
they had left behii that last rush. -

by the varsity teams only, and the
using of this color on the freshman
teams was an innovation at Stanford
that took well with the rooters.
In previous years the freshman teams
had always been garbed in gray jer-
seys. but the cardinal has now been
decided on for all future freshman
games.
On the appearance of the California
team the greetings they. received We're
equally as vociferous and loud lunged
as had been the good wishes extended
to the Stanford men The California
team looked very natty and business
like in the navy blue jerseys and white
knickers, and to add to the innovations
every member of the team had a num-
Der on his back, thus making the iden-
tification of the players particularly
easy when the play was going on. This
was the first time that either univer-
sity had adopted the numbering system
with football teams, and the idea is
bound to be well received by the public.
Though Mcmahon led the California
team on the field yesterday heewas not
named as captain by the coaches, and
the team went on the field with Nc
Mahon as their leader but not captain,
though his duties were practically the
same.
WHEELER PRAISES MEN
In the large audience were numbers

ball idols and other notables. Ben Erb,

the well known form of Jimmy Lana

back field of either of the teams His
boot was sure and his-tackling perfect.
He was too well watched by the Cali
foEpia men to do anything sensational
in the way of runs down the field. but
he played ma agnificent game and won
unstinted praise for himself for his
magnificent work. Reeves, though suf-
fering from an INJURY received in an
early practice game and from which he
eventually had to retire, played good
game, and on the defense was a tower
of strength.
Harrigan also did fairly well, though
not up to some of his previous practice
games. Kaufman at fuIlback was
safe and kicked for touch fairly well.
Oimstead and Boulware were the pick
of the forwards. and they were in all
the plays. On the line out, in the loose
or in the serum these men worked like
tigers and did not spare themselves or
their opponents. Tiiton at halfback
was also seen to advantage, though he
had very few opportunities to open
the game from the serum. In the loose
and in going down on rushes he was
all there. and his defense work was

also prominent in the Stanford for
