Lick School Defeated the Tam- alpais Team by a Large Score. The game at San Rafael yesterday be- tween the Lick and Tamalpais teams re- sulted in a victory for the Lick team, the final score being 17 to 0. This is the largest score that has been made against Tamalpais this season. Lick has a very strong team and is likely to give Belmont a very close rub for the Academic trophy. For Tamalpais Captain Bair, Templeton and Sheehy played good ball. Minor, while he lasted, was very strong on the line. He retired at the end of the first half on account of a badly bruised shoul- de | o Lick team played an excellent game. Its fine teamwork resulted In | steady gains. Kaeding was the star for Lick, making two of the three touch- | downs. Kelsey played an able second, | malking splendid gains by his long punts, one of which covered fifty-five yards. The Lick line was very strong, standing like a wall against the masses on tackle that Tamalpais hurled against it. Lick has a great pair of tackles and the ends— Moss and Edwards—played excellent ball, getting down on Kelsey's long punts very rapidly. The line-up was as follows: | C. S. M. A. (Lick). Positions.

RENO, Oct. 28.—The University of Ne- vada football team won a victory over the Santa Clara eleven this afternoon by a score of 11 to 6.

To furnish the names of all the players is a custom and a law In all collegiate engagements, so the blue and gold man- agers refused to allow Johns and Nar- ramore to play. Much talk ensued, Stan- ford finally conceding California’s de- mands and Lee and Parker played in the places of the objected to men. Valentine, California’s fullback, opened the contest by a Kick-off to Stanford's five-yard line. Every one on the fleld was as nervous as a cat and Parker, who tried to catch the ball, fumbled in his excite- ment, but he regained the leather and made fifteen yards before California’s colts shook off their nervous sleep. Wi a dash here, a rush there, a plunge and a buck, Stanford’s freshmen wrought gaps CHICAGO TIES WITH QUAKERS A More Desperate Struggle Seldom Seen on a Foot- ball Field. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Chicago 5, Pennsylvania 5. CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—The football eleven | of the University of Pennsylvania barely escaped defeat at the hands of the Uni- | versity of Chicago eleven in a game In which more desperate playing has sel- dom been seen. The final score was & tle, both sides scoring a touchdown in the second half, and neither kicking a goal. Total, 5 to 5. Better football, so far as clean, snappy playing is concerned, has been seen in the two or three games here this season, but for sheer gameness, for rallies when to yleld the least bit would result in a touchdown and for situations tending to produce heart disease, the game was certainly remarkable. Five times the Chicago elevent had op- portunities to score—twice by place kick- ing with the ball in a favorable position and three times getting the pigskin inside of Pennsylvania’s 6-yard line. But only once were the Maroons able to get the ball over the goal line and that was done when it seemed almost a certainty. Through poor generalship on the part of Captain Kennedy of Chicago in at- tempting to send Slaker through Pean- vania's left guard he lost the ball for ago on downs when it was within two yards of the goal line in the second half, and when, finally, a few moments later Wellington was pushed over for the tie- ing touchdown, the Chicago captain missed an easy goal. It was his attempt at a fake kick, too, that ultimately resulted in Pennsylvania's score, Kennedy dropping the ball when tackled and Pennsylvania securing it on Chicago’s 48-yard line. With Chicago’'s goal line In sight Pennsylvania's b uards tore the Maroon line to pieces an Davidson was flnally pushed over. But Chicago’s goal line was not again in danger. Early in the first half Chicago discov- ered that Pennsylvania's left end was weak and time and time again Hamill and Wellington got around for substantial gains. But with the ball within a vard of the goal line Pennsylvania made the most desperate stand of the game. Three times the line held, and when the mass | of players umnnfiled after the last down the ball was still a_foot from the iine, Coombs an_instant Jater punted out of danger, and when time was called the ball was on Chicago's 45-yard line, Chicago's all around playing was supe- rior to that of the Quakers. The latter were utterly unable to get arouni the Maroons’ end, and In the first half were frequently held for down even when usiug the dreaded guards’ back play, which has brought victory to the red and blue in many games. In the second half, how- ever, the awful hammering told severely in the Chicago forwards, and during the second series of plays which resulted in Pennsylvania's touchdown they were Slay off their feet. Most of the time uring the second half the ball was well within Pennsylvania’s territory, and onl. the fiercest kind of playing by the wefi fii h ixha.usted Quakers saved them from efea Notwithstanding the faoct that raln had been falling steadily since morning, the !ndlron at Marshall fleld was in fair con- itlon. Frequent applications of sawdust B e e oo s ate e e el e o n e o el o e e e oo center came the cardinal chargers. Cham- berlain on the side lines was feeling very happy, but not so with Cochran and Kelly. Yard by yard the blue and gold colts receded toward thelr own goal. Stanford had struck its winning pace and with slow persistence every minute brought the team nearer the coveted goal. To the California thirty-yard line the red- shirts advanced and then the accident happened. It came in the shape of a fum- ble, and when the plle of squirming ath- letes was disentangled a California athlete was nestling the pigskin. Loud was the cheering and the braying of brass instruments from the blue and gold section. Fearful to attempt offensive play within the reach of his own goal Valentine punt- ed the pigskin to the Stanford forty-yard kept the fleld from becoming soft. A crowd of fully 6000 enthusiasts wirnessed the struggle, including several hundred rooters for the red and blue of Pennsyl- vania, and the latter team did not lack encouragement so far as cheering was concerned.

Defeats the Berkeley High School Football Team Upon the Uni- versity Gridiron. BERKELEY, Oct. 28.—The football team of the Centerville High School lined up against the Berkeley High School this morning upon the University of Califor- nia gridiron. The home team was in no sense a match for its opponents. From the start the game proved one-sided. Centerville played with a snap and pre- cislon against which the Berkeley boys could do nothing. Three times during the first half did the ball go over the line for a touchdown, and when the second half was called Berkeley gave up the game In Centerville's favor. The score stood 16 to 0.

LAWRENCE, Kans., Oct. 28 —Kansas University defeated the Haskell Institute Indians at football here to-day.

Nearer and nearer came the cardinal front to the California goal and noisier and noisfer became the Stanford contingent on the bleachers. But this time it was not an accident that stopped the Stan- ford advance. On the thirty-yard line the California freshmen gummed their line and stuck fast. Thiice they were assailed by the Stanford backs and thrice did they beat back the attack. It was the first time that California’s defense proved operative and successful. Then the fortunes of war changed. A long punt by Valentine and a fumble by a redshirt gave California the pigskin at the center of the fleld. Another punt followed and when Stanford regained pos- S e o o HARVARD DEFEATS CARLISLE Indians Succeed in Scoring Ten Points Against the Crimson. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Harvard 22, Carlisle 10. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 28—While Harvard had no difficulty in disposing of the famous Carlisle Indian eleven this afternoon on Soldiers’ field, the crimson players were unable to keep little Hud- son from kicking his customary goal from the field, and a wretched muff by Girasch early in the game, followed by a quick pickup by Red Water, who ran fifty vards | for a touchdown, gave the visitors five more points, making the final score 22 to 10. There was bad fumbling by the Harvard backs at times and during the latter part of the game the Indians, discovering a weak spot in the crimson line, hammered there for steady gains until the thirty- vard line was reached. After two downs without result Hudson drove the ball be- tween the goal posts. The little Indian quarter-back, however, did not have all the kicking honors to himself, for Burnett made a fine goal trom a place kick on the Indians’ fifty-yard line and Hallowell's punting was almost as good as Haughton's last year. The entire Harvard eleven played with a snap and dash that carried the 12,000 people almost off their feet with enthusi- asm. Scarcely a Harvard man was injured during the entire game. On the other hand a number of the Indians were sadly bat- tered. Wheelock was carried from the field and _to-night’ is still in a serious con- dition. His injuries apparently resultea from a blow about the head. Until the last part of the second half | & Harvard's new defense worked well and had no trouble in keeping the ball in the Indians’ territory. As the Harvard score mounted, however, Captain Burden deter- mined to give the substitutes a chance. Accordingly he called in Eaton and Swain as tackles, and also a new trio of backs— Parker, Warren and Reid. Then the In- dians began to play. They attacked Har- vard's line with a fury that the substi- tutes could not meet and slowly pushed the ball down the field. A mass play just | outside of tackle was the effective for. mation and Swain especially seemed pow- erless to stop it. On every exchange of punts Harvard gained, partly due to the great superior- ity of Hallowell over Miller and to tne brilliant work of Daly, who invariably ran Miller's ‘runts back ten yards before being downes The line-up: s Harvard. .

It was brought out to the 2-yard line and punted bacl: into California’s territory. For the next ten minutes the play was of the open order— nothing but punts and punts and punts, from one side to the other. The ball was a pendulum, ever in the air.

OLD ELI LOSES TO COLUMBIA Yale Defeated in a Stubborn Game of Football on Manhattan Field. S0+ 00+ @ Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—At Manhattan Field to-day, in a game that was flercely contested throughout, the football eleven of Columbia defeated that of Yale by a score of 5 to 0. In addition to this, Colum- bia carried the ball across Yale's line two more times in the same half, neither of which was allowed as a score because of some technicality. The referee classed the latter play as a touchback and gave Yale a full kick from her twenty-five yard This was of no avail, however, as Weeks carried the ball over again for a | touchdown on the first line-up after this Kick. It was a beautiful run of about forty-five yards, in which Weeks dodged several of the Yale players, includin Captain McBride, and carried the bajl squarely between the goal posts, Wiison made a poor try at an easy goal and the score was: Columbla 6 Yale 0. Thus ended the game, wit the middle of the fleid. e The weather certainly favored the spec- ators much more than the players, and that the men were able to last such a rapid game on such a sultry day speaks well for the physical condition of all There were probably 5000 persons in at. tendance.
