Hooper took-his place next to the giant fair-haired Hall. ‘They werea picturesque pair, both by far the tallest and heaviest men on the field. But Olympic very wisely directed her p'ays against tlie other side of the Butte line, until, awaiting a favorable moment, Morse dashed past big Hooper, dodged several men, and pro- tected by the interference of Thierkaut and €ode made the last touchdown of the game. . Soon after that Hooper, still stiff and sore from his rheumatism, was compelled to retire. ‘Bob Perbam steppea into the vacant tackle position and little ‘“Mickey” Harrington took Perham’s place at end. The first touchdown of the gams re- sulted indirectly from'a blocked. kick, on which Olympic got possession of the ball on Butte's ten-yard line after the ball had been oscillating back and forth across Butte’s side of the field. A few rushes through tackle soon put it over the line. The second touchdown was much more ofa surprise and came Alter one of the prettiest plavs of the 'season. The ball had, after the second kick-off, been mov- ing forward and back in Olympic-terri- tory. Suddenly, just after a down near Olympic’s fifty-yard line, Code executed a quarterback kick, and’ though: the ball went almost directly .forward Nolan got ader it on the run, caught it .neatly and rinted straight-down the field, evaded Laswell, the only nian between him and goal aiid, assisted-in the last few yards by Morse, went stumbling and sprawiing over the line directly between the.goal: posts. .

From that momentthe game had an added interest for Californians. 1t was not strictly a football crowa. It was a holiday crowd, but what it-may not have known about the finer points of the game it made up for in wild applause at the more evident spectacular features, Nearly all the available players of both | teams took part in the contest at differsnt | stages in the game. Stickney was the first man compelled to give way 1o a sub- stitute. All the Butte men had it in for Stickney because he .had publicly de- clared that they played. an ighorant, massy game. One of the Butte. players collided hard with Stickney just as be had punted in returning the.-sccond kickoff. The imp:ct was so ‘great that Stickuey lay for some moments almost motionless and - at the exp.ration of time had to be borne | from the field, though still game and pleading to be retained. Big Felton Taylor, a football player of other days, took Stickney’s place as full- back. The Olympics began the terrific line-bucking for which Taylor is alone re- markable as a footbdll pluyer. With ter- | rific force, time and time again he rushed bead-on into the Butte line and always gained ground. ln that single style of playing Taylor, asof old, proved Limself a bucking back of much ability, but a foot- ball player of few other qualifications. Late in the first half Searight of Olym- pic was ruled off for having savagely tackled and thrown Benson, who ‘was in- terlering for Dygert. His place at left half went to Porter, who dropped back from tackle, while Pete Smith took Porter's place at tackle and gave his own place at guard up to Erskine who then came into the game for the first time. : But Erskine did not stay long. Back .Smith went to his old place and Porter to back kick ever made on'the coast. Thenext touchdown was the one made by Butte and'it was hard-earned and twiee almost forleited before it was finally secured. After stéadily bucking the ball for eighty-five yards with - once ‘losing possession Butte carriea 1t over the line; but had to give it up on a decision made on’ the play preceding the final plunge. It was ‘only & few moments, however, until Butte -fegained - the ‘ball on a costly attempted quarter-back kick by Code. But ona miscarried “fake play Bugte almost lost-the ball .again. Big'Hall had droyped back for gnard’s position as if to come at the line like a human pile-driver. Naturally the. Olympics expeoted:him to buck. It was only & bluff to hide a quarter-back kick £6 the end. T The kick was a failure, for it bronght a loss of several yards, and Butte-barely got the ball after it was jnggled overhead by both sides in & wild scrimmage for its possession.” "In six bucks by. Dygert alone, Butté then scored its only touchdown. Laswell, like Morse, reputed t6 be a sure goal-Kicker, algo failed of his reputation on New Year'sday. _ % . In the second half; Olympic scored after bucking the ball almost from the center of the fieild. From that time on, honors were about_evenly divided. At first Butte | woried the ball down to within six yards of goal and there lost it on downs. The best play of the series in this particular advance was a quarterback kick by Benson 10 Laswell, that came near being a repe- tition of Code’s kick to Nolan. It netted a good gala of twenty-six yards, The game enaed with the Olympic slowly working across Butte territory. As the final whistle sounded the Olympic- team gavea great cheer for the- Butte players and hundreds of delighted citizens swarmed upon the field and overwhelmed the members of the home team with con- gratulations. Morse was the recipient of the most aitention, though all the men came in for their share. B About the Butte men as they quietly moved toward the exit were the enthusi- his in order to create a vacancy behind the |"astic Butte women who had sat in a little line for Thierkauf, who went in where Searight and Porter had been playing.

W.hen iast we played against Butte and were defeated we made .the mistake of ‘underestimating our opponents. We were overconfident and thought that we were -goinz to win easily. Two of our men didn’t know the signals properly and that fact served to mix usa little. Then Stickney changed with one of the other haives and that mixed us some more. The team ‘on this octasion was the same as before with the exception of Nolan, who proved u splendid acquisition to the end, which he neyer allowed the Buttes to get round. Our former experience taught us a lesson. We were on to our oppo- nents’ style of playing, and, of course, were . prepared to counteract it. We checked their ruskes by getting down low. We made up our minds to win and started in with and maintained to the end snappy, dashing and good fast playing. Putting Hcbbs in for guard and Sheehy for tackle strengihened the feam, and Felton Ta; lor as fuliback i8 without a peer for buck- ing the line, especiaily if given proper support. Every manon the team played good, hard ball and_was in every play. 1f we bad “put up a similar play when we en- countered Butte on-Christmas we would undoubtedly baye won. Our interference wus -atso good, fast and equal, and the play ail round was clean and gentle- manly. The Buttes put up much the same gamie as before, but this, while quick and snappy, was weakened by their inability to run round the énds and their conse- quent- dependence upon .bucking tactics. ‘They were, perhaps, -strengthened for the time being ‘by Hooper, who played a fine game. 2 I is satisfactory to know that we never lost the. ball on. dawns, but invari- ably made our five yards. When the ball did escapé us it was usually due to an oversight 6r a foul. -The catch made by Nolan from a quarter-back kick was & special feature of the game. Thierkauf déserves the thdnks of the team .or coming in at the last moment and taking Seawright's place. - The officials were all right and their decisions very fair. T. R. CopE, Olympic Quarter-back. me A THE TEAM WAS DIVIDED. Benson Says a Few Words on the Question of Professionalism. I woulid like to set myself and the team right with reference to' the position we took in the case of Hall and Laswell, who were objected to on the score of profes- sionalism. .The Olympic Club ‘sent us an offer, without svlicitation on our part, to come to this City and pliy two games. | At that tine, too, we had played quitea number 0f matches and our men wers fairly well ‘known. The Olympic mana- gers—1 will not say all, but certainly some —were cognizant before we. left - Bntte of the fact that the question of professional- ism was to be brought upin the case I have mentioned above. -n spite of this, however, they ‘allowed us to leave Butie without a hint as to'what.was in store for us,"which-camé altogether as a surprise to me and_the rest .of the-players. Conse- - quently, afier thinking the matter over, we decided; rather than go_into.the field | “with a weakened téam, to_ refuse to play ataH, Theend of the difficulty was that the Olympics sgread to-our’ proposition that. tire game should be an exhibition one, and thit the proceeds should go to charity. - . ° i As fegards the game -itself, T must say that we' were beaten feirly and squarely. With 6. exception of two men—viz.: Hall and’Slater—there was not a member of the Butia -team who played the game. -of .-which he 1is really capable. The :Olympics; on the other.hand, plaved a good, fast; shappy eame. Their interfer- .ence was gaod and they bucked the line fiercely, With what result the score shows. Nevertheless I do not think that they could do it again—but this, of course, is merely idle talk. The sudden change to the life of a big city, with all ity pleasure and variety, had a deteriorating effect upon our team, and not only that, but the trouble “which we had gone through over the question of professionalism had di- vided us considerably and robbed us of ‘much of our spirit. Let me add that I do not say this in belittlement of the work of the Olympics, but merely because I am convinced, as I said before, that we did ay anything like the eame of which we are capable, PERCY BENSON, Quarterback and ‘acting captain of the Butte team. & Lrie mon THE TEAM WORK WON. Captain Smith of Olympic Is Jubi- lant Over the Rasult. It was certainly among the best games | ever played by us in San Francisco. The make-up of both teams was practically the same as on the last occasion, and the glory is all the greater on that account. All the boys played as fine a game as I have ever had the good fortune to see or to participate in. Taylor’s line-bucking was as‘perfect.as it very well ¢ould be, and "he had the hardest line ‘to buck that ever man had. But he was splendidly sup- ported, which made the task somewhat easer. Then, too, our interference, as shown by’ Morse’s magnificent run,was excellent. Hali-a-dozen men took a try at him, bat f2il down as if they had rtin against a stone wall. The fact is we have gone back to the old form we displaved when we played against Reliance. The trouble when last we plaved Butte was that we were too sure of winning, and dis not expect to run against the kind of ma- terial of° which our opponents are com- posed. Before we properly realized the ;iunnon, they had scored two touch- owns. o This time, hewever, the bgyu appreci- 'ated the nature of the task they had to accomplish. They worked as a, team, went in and did exactly the same &s when they won the Reliance match. It was our team work, in fact, that won us the rame. Every man was in his place and nobody shirked: It would do no good to talk about individual plays, when every man did his duty, but certainly a word of praise is due to Erskine, who showed great spirit by going into the game with a sore shoulder. .

The protest of the Olympic Club 1s all that saved it from a similar ban. If the Buttes be expelled from the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association they can no longer play against any amateur team in America, and they will have to cancel the game they have scheduled for January 5 in Portland “against the Vancouver Barracks’ team from the United States army. - ENDED IN A KICK. A Dispute Puts a >top to a Hot Foot- ball Contest Between Com= 5 panies A and B. The football game between Company A gnd Company B "of the -League of the Cross at Central Park yesterday morning ‘ended in a dispute. In the second half the Company A boys, by repeated bucking of their opponents’ line, brought the ball down'to B’s five- yard line. the quarter, and before he had a chance to give 1t to the backs B’s men broke through and-the ball was fumbled, ‘When the players arose it wes seen that Drady was on the ball and had advanced it three yards. The captain of B’s team “objected to this and Reieree Hobbs, after consideration, awarded the ball to Com- pany B. Captain Mogan, being dis- satisfied with this decision, orderea his men off the fied and refused to continue the game. But for this incident the pame would have been an exceedingly good one, as both teams are evenly matched. The game being a charity ore, a large crowa was present. The sympathizers of both teams were out in_force, and. armed with instruments of all kinds to make a noise, they kept up a lively racket. The California State Band was present and during the game piayed excellent music. In the first half the ball, after being kicked off, was brought back to nearly the center of the gridiron. L On the next line-up Mogan made a pretty run of twenty yards before being downed. On a _fumble “B” got tne ball and on play being resumed the bail was passed 1o Zan, who made a beautiful | run from the forty-five yard line, with good interference, and made a iouchdown. Mr. | Hobbs decided tuat Zan had gone in touch on the thirty-yard line, and the ball was brought back. There was a great howl from the “B’ contingent, but Eugens Sheehy, tne Olympic tackle, who was act- ing as their coacu, seeing the justice of the decision, had his men continue. Fan- ning then made a long run, with good in- terference, and reached the five-yard line | before being tackled. Company B then lost the ball ona fumble and Brignole kickea for fifteen yards, and *'B” worked 1t down to "’ ten-yard line, when the bail was lost on downs. Brignole then made a run of fifteen around “'B’s”’ end, and was heavily tackied and hort, causing a d=lsy. The ball was then car back and fourth, and at the end of the first’ half the ball wasin the canter of the field. In the second half Brignole kicked off to the 25-yerd line, and the ball was returned ten yards. “B” then lost on downs. “A," by repeated bucking, rushed the ball down to “B’s” 5-yard lime. On liné-up Brosman passed the ball to Dsady, ana before Le had a chance to pass “B's” rmen broke through and the ball whs fumbled, but was regained by Drady. Herea dispute arose as to whether a for- ward pass had been made, and Umnire Hobbs decided that such a pass had been made, and the ball was given to “B" on their own 5-yard line. Company A, seeing bow near they were to a touchdown, became angered and left the field, refusing to play. Hobbs then awarded the game to Company B. Score, 11 t0 0. When seen after the game Captain Mogan of Company A’s team said: “We were three yards from the goal and we were forced o give up the ball on a for- ward pass that Hobbs said he never saw. 1 saw the ball given and it was not a for- ward p nd we declined to play on account of his favoritism.” When told what Captain Mogan had de- ciled, Mr. Hobbs sa:id: *“They charge me with favoring Company B, but I do not see what reason they have for doing so. If he-will remember, in the first half I called Zan back after e had made a ‘touchdown'and my decision then was.that he had gone iu-touch, and 1if I had been in favor of B I would not have decided that way. “As to the forward pass, I saw the quarter make it and thought it my duty to rule as Idid.” _ Following is tire line-up: Company A. * C.

He says he will do what is always done in such case,ask advice from Clerk Russell. In any case seats will be pro- vided for all comers. “*What have Iaccomplished as Mayor?™* said Mr. Sutro, reverting to the retrospect- ive again; ‘‘very little.

It should be drawn carefully and have the benefit of the best thought and the most careful mquiry into the system of munici- pal government in the great cities of the world. For instance, the attention of ali | students of municipal government is being | | attracted to Glasgow just now, wiere the | municipal ownership and conduct .or - op- eration of all those things of public com- | fort, convenience or necessity, such as water, light, transportation, etc., .are shown to be a great success. “The idea of the citizens of a great city paying a private’ corporation for the water they dfink and allowing them to fix such prices, too, -as shall net the company a profit of a million a year! We shonld have better water, better light, and better streetcar service all at a fraction of what, these things cost us now. If it is soin Glasgow, why should it not be so lere? The new chaster might provide for the working out of such a plan. g “We should have better superintend- ence, too, of public work. You have ne, idea of the poor work that is done in almost every department of the public service. I could take the contracts for street work at half the price realized by contractors and give the people better work. Esvecially is this true as to bitum- inous rock work. The toncrete laid under the bituminous rock ‘is- generally very faulty. - “The supplies to our institutions—the | jails, hospitals, etc.—are generslly of very poor quality.

With- such in the conduct of affairs.ereat improvements and great savings might be-made. - “As for myself,”” said the Mayor, "I have generally been sigcessful in my. uin- .dertakings through my _life, bug this thing of the Mayoralty, I must confess, proved unmianageable; 1 could do little -with it.

The word “high” means hizh Laromeiric pressursand is usually accompanied by fai¥ weather: “low" refers o low pressire. and is utually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weatherand rains, “Lows" usi.ally first appear on the.Washington coast: When the. pressure is high in_ the interior ant_low along thé coast, and the isol north and sout along the comst, rain is probable; but when the “low” 1s .inclosed- with isobars of | marked-curvature, raln south of Oregon is fmprob- able.
