AN FRANCISCO, November
- 10.-A series of three tough
~ games in a row proved the
undoing Of the Stanford
University foot ball team this sea-
son and was largely responsible
for the new record established by
a Warner-coached Stanford eleven
three consecutive defeats.
In the long and distinguished career
Of Pop Warner that had seldom hap
pened before, and until this season
Stanford under Warner had never drop
ped even two in row.
Yet, strangely, this team, which few
weeks ago was rated as one of the best
in the Coast Conference and then set
a record for defeats, does not appear to
be poor foot ball team Stanford was
somewhat overrated earlier, following
decisive wins over Oregon State, San
Francisco University and Santa Clara,
and now is being moderated
After three successive defeats, Stan
ford remains a smooth working, eff
fective foot ball team that, given time
to recuperate. can give even a more
powerful eleven strong opposition.
THE first Of the Indians three try
i ing games was against last years
national champion, Southern Cali
fornia. Outweighed IL to Is pounds to
the man, they held the powerful and
experienced Trojan line and out
gained the Southern team from scrim-
mage, only to lose, when worn down by
superior manpower, through completion
by the Trotans Of two long, forward
passes.
With no time to rest from this Cruel
ing encounter they took on the unde-
feated University of California at Los
Angeles, which had had opportunity to
point for the contest. There the effect
Of their recent hard battle against U.
S. c. showed up in couple Of blocked
kicks which permitted U. C. L. A. to
win after Stanford had outperformed it.
On the next Saturday Stanford lined
up against the sturdy Washington
Huskies, who had had two weeks TO
point for the game. Again outweighed
Stanford stopped the Washington run
ming and passing attacks and scored
during the first half Able to gain
from scrimmage when the opponents
could not, Stanford appeared winner,
but during the second half the superior
physical condition and weight of Wash
ington against the tired Red Shirts
began to tell.
CLOWNESS to get down under punt
- allowed the aggressive Huskies to
block out a path for a sensational
touchdown run. An intercepted pass
was similarly handled by the exultant
Northwesterns and while the stunned
Red Shirts seemed temporarily de-
moralized third touchdown was put
over. In the closing minutes Stanford
started a pass attack which netted one
touchdown, but had neither the time
nor the strength to score again and
win.
Against Washington the 1882 Indians
ran OF the complicated Warner reverses
in fine style, without tumble, and
made the plays kick for pretty con-
sistent gains, but lost because Of an ap-
parent lethargy. There had been toe
many tough games In row. and it
had been unfortunate that the tough
est, against o. S. c., had been the first
IN the series.
Saturday the Indians have a breather
IN California Aggies, and on the fol-
lowing week end the California Bear is
going to find the going hard in the an
nual big game. Pittsburgh, from reports
Of its successes. would seem to have too
much power for this years Red ma
chine, but fans who see the Pitt-Stan-
ford contest will see some interesting
and well played foot ball
The Stanford squad isn't replete with
all-America material, but it can put
on the field well coached and smooth
working eleven.
