BY WILLIAM UNMAcK

The University OF California fresh
men footballers had the satisfaction
of winning the initial game Of the
season by defeating the CogsH
polytechnic college team at Berkeley
yesterday by a score of s to 3.
For the first game of the reason
the fans voted the contest a success.
Though the infants have only had a
few days workout. their showing
yesterday was considered superior to
the first days results Of any previous
freshman squad.
The baby players showed plenty of
class in streaks, though it was nat
ural that with so little training none
OF the men were able to show the
form that comes with proper con-
dition.
At that the consensus of opinion
was that Coach Shafer has a dandy
bunch of boys to work on. and the
result of the first appearance Of the
babies was eminently satisfactory.
COGswELHS GOOD GAME
The CogswelI boys played a good
game and showed the results Of the
work of Coach Cecil Pomeroy.
Being trial game. the varsity
coaches used as many men as possible
Two full teams played on the babies
Cogswell boys stood up well, and
their defeat under the circumstances
was only nominal one. IN
The freshmen started out after thS
kickoff with every indication of keep
ing the Cogswell boys on the squi
vive."
The first five minutes the Cogs-
well men found themselves defending
their goal lines against the onslaughts
of the California hosts.
A series of scrums were formed
few yards from the line. but the baby
forwards were unable to get the bail
out to their backs. Then the for
wards took the ball along at their
toes and Madison fell over the line
for the first try of the season.
Felix failed in his attempt at the
goal.
Cogswell rallied and took the ball
down to the California goal line
GIVEN FREE KICK
For offside play by one of the
babies Referee Louis Watts awarded
the Cogswen lads a free kick, and
Pyne successfully piloted the goal,
this equaling the score.
No further scoring was done up 10
half time.
With a number of men in the lineup
the California babies started an as
sault on the Cogswel1 line. A line
out was formed near the goal line
and the ball was sent out to five
eighths Dow, who romped over the
line for the second try. The angle
was a difficult one, and no goal rey
suited.

score. but was unable to even up mat
ters, time eventually showing the
