14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 195. RELINCE VICTORIOUS | | Olympic Team Varquished[ on the Gridiron ! Field. SCORE, FOURTEEN TO SIX. | First Half Ended With the| I Local Eleven Two Points | Ahead. | ONE EXHIBITION OF SLOGGING. Morse’s Run of 75 Yards to a Touch- down the Longest and Prettiest This Season. The big and powerful men who compose the team of football-players that repre- sented the Reliance Athletic Club of Oak- land yesterday at Central Park met and de- feated the Olympic kickers in a game that was remarkable for two things—a wonder- ful run by Percy Morse of the Olympics and wonderful fumbling by players of both | teams. The Reliance bovs had the advantage of experience, which aided them very materi- allv; they were also of heavier caliber | than their obponents and that handicap | alone proved too much for the Olympics, | who could not muster beef enough among their reserves fo retard the progress made by the Reliance players in a pushing gam Some of the Olympic players must have | been handling butter before they entered | the grounds, as fumble after fumble Wasi the order of playing, which caused many of the members who witnessed the contest to wish that the ball would make a light- ning change from leather to wax. | the contest wore on the Olympics im- proved in their style of playing, but it was | frequently noticed that very poor judg- | ment was displayed at cmian moments when quickness and accuracy were most needed. The Reliance played a good, strong game, which they relied upon towin them | a victory. They frequently pushed their opponents from end to end of the field, | and secured their chdowns by actual | force. The ouly brilliant feature of the contest was the run made by Morse through the lines until he succeeded in | landinv the ball behind the sticks. Had it | not been for this very excellent piece of work the Olympic boys would bave re- ceived a fearful drubbing. Oscar To who by the way is an excel- | on all kinds of ball, could | not understand why the Olympic boys did | not change their t g sty -complish a little end work. “Why those Reliance boys will push | our men off the earth when they get | great Oscar. “Why don’t the O.C.’s get onto themselves? They can run faster | than those big Oakland fellows, and can | surely beat them if they only rely upon | their feet to accomplish some of the | work.” | At this juncture Billy Kennedy, super- | intendent of the Olympic Club, happened to come along and after taking a good | look at the crowd he asked Tollie what he | thought of the people of the vresentday. | ‘““What you mean, Bill?” queried Tolle. | “Well, ¢an you understand how snch a | mob of people can sit here in comfort and | watch this mixed-up arrangement and ac- | tually ignore a first-cl. baseball game,” | continued Kennedy. ““Don’t you think pa- | resis has something to do with this strange turn of affairs nowad I've witnessed several football games, and so help me Jim I don’t know the first thing about the | game. It seems to me as if it is a race be- tween both sides as to who will get under | the earth first. Pshaw! it'snot in it with | baseball.” During some of the hot scrimmages a little fisticuffs were indulged in between | some of the players, who were ordered off | the field. The referee evidently thought | that the zame was hara and severe enongh in itself upon the players without the necessity of introducing pugilism. During the contest some heavy collisions resulted | and some of the contestants had to leave | e op) warmed up to their work,” remarked the | oy the field owing to_their inability to con- tinue the game. One young man who had his head and a large portion of his face tied up with bandages made a desperate attempt to run around the ends, but hav- | ing no interference he was stopped heavily and flung on his back. He left the field shortly afterward and his place was filled by another player, whose shoulder was | almost_dislocated while scrimmaging for possession of the ball. The accidents, although many, were not of a serious nature, yet it was expected that-owing to the jealousy that has existed between the teams some of the players would come to grief. 5 The ground was in good condition, how- ever, otherwise some of the players who received hard falls would certainly have been badly injured. The Olympic_team was not surprised at its defeat. It has had only a few months’ practice, and con- sidering that thisis tke first season that the bows have playea football they, did well and should turn the tables on their Olympics, but in the next half the superior strength and endurance of the Reliance men told and they made two touchdowns to their opponents’ nothing, kicking both goals. McMillan was strong on the line and Frick and Felton Taylor made the princi- vpal gains. 3 Middlemas was spotted as a light and weak point in the OI{‘mplc line and the Oakland men pounded him unceasingly. Theuerkauf, plucky and dashing for a oung ?myer. came on the field with' his 1 ead all bandaged up, but was finally com- pelled to give up and be relieved by Haw- kins. The halves were thirty-five minutes in length and play began at 3:30 o’clock and was over at a little after 5. The Reliance men wers jubilant after the game, and all through the play when they wished to encourage their team they reviewed the recent victories it,scored in the north. Felton Taylor plunges into Smith for three yards. Again Wykoff punts, this time for a twenty-five-yard ~gain, The Olympic man fumbles the catch and Reiiance’ secures the ball on the Olympic twenty-two-yard line. A center buck brings a loss of two yards. Han- lon ix sent tandem fashion through Porter for five yards. Sherrard starts to circle Cameron’s et‘l‘d ut Smith breaks through and there is no n.

Sexton drives into Oliver for 3 yards. Barnett repels an attack upon his position, preventing a gain. Then tho Olympics fumble frightfully, but Middlemas manages to get the ball with a 2-yard gain. Theuerkauf punts 23 yards to the 52-yard line. The Reliance man is downed in his tracks, and the men line up. Hanlon holding on to Taylor's hand s rushed swiftly round Olden- berg’s end for 10 yardsand is brought down by Nahl's clean tackie in touch. Kington has to yieid 5 yards to the Reliance giants. But Taylor bucks hard in_the same place and gets only half a yard. Hanlon is sent tandem through Porter for 5 yards. Oliver gains 3 ng style of playing| SOME FACES AND FORMS THAT A “CALL” ARTIST SAW AT THE FOOTBALL GAME. | is to have a representative eleven on the football field. e THE GAME. Review of the Match From the Standpoint of an Exvert. The Reliance team overpowered the Olympic eleven, and the score was 14 to 6. About 3500 people witnessed the great match at Central Park yesterday afternoon and the weather was perfect. A little of the scrapping that some of the spectators expected to see was briefly ex- hibited by Racine of the Reliance, who slugged his man in an exciting scrimmage and was promptly ruled off by Umpire Downing, the old Stanford player. Percy Morse's run of seventy-five yards was the sensation of the game, and people were wild. It saved the Olympics from a whitewash, and at the time it was made it | revived hope for the City men consider- ably. And when the goa! was kicked and they were 6 to 4 ahead of the Reiiance team everybody looked upon the subse- quent playing as a probable series of lucky surprises that would balance the Reliance strong team work and irresistible hand- holding interference, but no more such runs occurred. The first half ended 6to 4 in favor of the onents next year—that is, provided the } { This is the way the teams faced each other: nx»nuncleés Position. Olympic. acine, Runker vsesess L.ond RB. Capt.

Oliver breaks through and downs the ?mmer on the next attempt, caus- ing a good loss for the Olympic. Then in one great writhing, pushiu% struggle the Olympic men try to keep the bail by covering the extra yard, but they fail by & few inches. Reliance starts Oliver with the ball, but lit- tle Nahl gets through and tackles him, pre- venting a game. Hanlon bucks Porter for four yards. Then Theuerkauf punts into Olympic territory to the thirty-five yard line., Percy Morse makes the catch and starts for- ward, bearing to the right, taking advantage of every opportunity, dedging every one, and in a remarkabie run of 75 yards scores & touch- down for Olymfiicfi behind the goalposts, ty- ing the score. He kicks the goal and places his team ahead of Reliance 6 to 4. Oliver kicks off for the Reliance along the ground. Smith catches the ball on the 20-yard line and runsit in twoyards. And thenin the line- up for the new scrimmage Racine allows the interclub feeling to bubble over and is dis- qualified for slogging, and the crowd on the east bleachers applaud. Buuker is called out to take Racine’s place at leftend. The play continues, and Olympic gains six ards between Oliver and McMillan. A fake ick gives a chance for the Olympie quarter- back }aln that results in a yard between Oliver and McMillan.
