In refer- epnce to the game itself he-sald: “Neither team could make any material gain on end rums. Berkeley played good, hard, | clean football and deserved to win.

CROWD FOR BERKELEY. Jt was plainly a Berkeley crowd, al- though the Stanford representatives were there in numbers. Somewhere in the .two great crowds of rooters there sat chaps whose attention was not always o the game. They were busy massing the rooters and keeping them keyed up to cheer whenever a brilliant play was made or a declsive point was scored. They led the cheering for the victors and van- auished, and were, in truth, a feature of the game. In"all great intercolleglate scrambles with the pigskin there is one distinguish- ing feature which looms high ‘above the commonplace. So it was yesterday when “Bob” Sherman, Berkeley’s right half, made the sensational play of the game y making 100 yards with the clusive pig- skin tucked firmly under his arm, run- ning like a deer, eluding the stalwart Stanford players, shaking them off one by one and finally landing safely home, making a touchdown. Not since Poc made his famous run in the Yale-Harvard game some years back has anything like Sher- man’s great run been accomplished. The grand stand and bleachers went wiid with joy when Sherman, panting and winded, finished his perilous journey and led safely in the shadow of the goa splendid work of Overall, Berkel t guard, merits especial mention.

When he entered the grounds he was greeted with cheers by the students from Stanford. Although naturally disappointed at the result, President Jordan expressed himself as being pleased with the gentlemanly and sportsmanlike spirit in which the game was played. Regarding the game he encourage * the “I enjoyed the contest greatly. I was rather disappointed that Stanford did not win, but I was highly pleased with the gentlemanly manner in which both teams conducted themselves. without disagreeable disputes and without ill-feeling, means more to me than would a victory. bring about a better feeling and a better understanding between the two ungiversities. I was pleased with the col- lege spirit displayed by the Stanford students. They supported their team in the most loyal manner. “I do not think Stanford has any reason ta he ashamed of the showing made by her team.
