SHERMAN’S GREAT RUN. It was the frony of fate that decreed that the man who should most put hu- miliation upon Stanford—for it is Sher- man’s run that causes Stanford most shame—was “Locomotive” Smith's suc- cessor. Stanford stood upon her rights as the interests of the sport demand, and a disinterested committee of fifteen Eastern college men Smith was declared ireligible to play for having taken money for coathing the University of Oregon team last year. Sherman was put into Smith’s niche at right half and made a run that only he copld make. Had Smith been in the game that run would not wer.

In other respects than Overall's punt- ing and Sherman's rfh the game was exceptional, presenting numerous sur- prises. California has frequently demon- strated its scoring ability during the sca- | son. In this respect only the great team of '99 excelled it. Yet the Stanford d fernse completely nullified that ability. Twice on end runs of six yards each by Mini and twice\on line bucks were all that California could do tq advance the ball except by Overall’s punts and Sher- man's run. Stanford’s superb defensive play was a surprise to California. The | agile Min{ was caught repeatedly behind | the line by Bartell and McFadden. No | one got past Clark or Magee at the other Stanford end. The smashing tackle-back play and the guard-back avalanche, with Overall hurtling into the line, were fruit- | less. Stanford stopped them from the start and continued to stop them with Spartan courage long after the hope of victory had gone. Stanford was ineffective when the ball |'was in that team’s possession. McGil- | vray’s bad knee spoiled his punting and | his line plunging. McFadden lost his ground-gaining prowess through a sprained ankle. Some costly penalties and fumbles occurred .at critical times, and they were never equal to keeping possession of the ball when a chance to score loomed brightly before them. Had their game on offense approached the ef- fectiveness of their defensive play the story would have been a different one. As it was, Stanford showed greater line- bucking and end-running ability than California. But, alas for the .cardinal hopes, the team had no Overall and no Sherman. - Coach Slaker sent Magee in to take Clark’s place at end rather late in the first half, when it became evident that McGilvray’s bad knee was spoiling his punting. Clark’s reluctance to leave the field gave many spectators the erroneous jdea that he was ruled off for slugging. Clark’s game was entirely clean. - He also played the position in splendid style, and was taken out by his team’s coach only because it was absolutely necessary to put in a man who could punt. Magee made some great punts, equal to Overall’'s best. Each of them made a poor showing at times in punting against the wind, but for reliable punting and for average distance as well, the Califor- nia veteran outdid the clever Stanford freshman. Stanford's line was weak in protecting its punter and in holding for the tries at fleld goal from place kicks. California, too, showed a cleverness in falling on fumbled or blocked balls that Stanford lacked. The first score, Overall’s first fleld goal, was made in seventeen minutes of play. No further score was made during the half, though Stanford repeatedly men- aced California’s goal and kept the car- dinal ‘“rooters” yelling in high hope and the California supporters in a state bo¥- dering on nervous collapse. The game went along in the second half with hope alternately raised up and cast down in each college camp, for a single touchdown and goal for Stanford would surpass the California score. Then Sher- man sprinted his fast hundred on the gridiron and Stow kicked the goal. The score became Califronia 11, Stanford 0. That left little hope for Stanford, for no one was sanguine enough to hope for two touchdowns by Stanford in the short time left to play. But the end had not come, and in a few minutes Overall got his sec- ond chance, and by a narrow margin made his second field goal, boosting Cali- fornia’s score up to 16. Stanford played on as determined as ever, and redoubled their efforts to make a touchdown, but despite great line- bucking by Dole and good end runs by “Pie” Smith, they could not cross the Cal- ifornia goal line. “Ple” Smith, the speedy Stanford half, who took Tarpey’s place late in the game, made one end run, around Hudson, of forty yards that, except for Sherman’s great feat, would shine out as one of the great things of the day. A fumble im- mediately afterward lost to Stanford all the advantage the run had given them. “Ox" Albertson, the California captain, went out of it early in the game with a twisted knee. The big fellow cried as he limped off the fleld. Howard played the position well and Hudson acted as cap- tain with credit. All in all, California did not suffer greatly by the loss of Al- bertson, simply because there were ex- cellent men to take his place. r3 CALIFORNIA WINS TOSS. California won the toss, and chose to defend the south goal, as a strong wind was blowing to the north. Lee kicked off and California downed the ball on the fifteen-yard lne. Mini was thrown.back end he tried to circle. Overall punted. seventy-five vards, with the wind's aid, over Bansbach's head. 'It was Stan- fcrd's ball on the twenty-five yard line. Two downs netted but three yards, and McGilvray punted twenty-five yards agaisnt the wind. California was held on downs on the thirty-six-yard line. Me- | Y for a loss of two yards by Bartell, whici } e Fadden, Dole and McGilvray made the distance and then Stanford lost the ball for holding in, the line. California was held for two downs and Overall failed at a try at goal from place kick. Then Cal- ifcrnia got the ball on a fumble, at this mest critical time, fifteen yards from the gcal line. Two downs netted but half a yard. Then it was that Overall kicked Lis first goal, the ball sailing squarely between the posts and well up above the crossbar. Lee kicked off again, and on California’s first attack on the line Stanford got the ball for California’s holding in the line. Two line bucks gave but two vards, and Tarpey was sent back to try for a fleld geal from forty-two yards out. The big California center men blocked the kick and one of .them fell on the ball. There were exchanges of punts on third downs, Mini’s two end runs of six yards each and another try at goal from the field by Overall, which failed. Sherman fumbled McGilvray’s free kick from the twenty- five-yard line and Bartell got the bail. Distance for California’s offside advanced Stanford to the ten-yard line, and a touchdown seemed within reach. Califor- nia held, however, and took the_ball on downs. Overall punted but twenty yards, Again Stanford lost the chance to score, and the whistle was blown for the end of | the first half with the ball in Stanford’s possession on the thirty-five-yard line in California territory. In the second half Cafifornia kicked off short, Barnhisel fumbled the ball, and a California man fell on it on the forty- yard line. Whipple and Sherman could not gain, and Overall's try at goal from a place kick failed. Magee's free kick from the twenty-five yard line sent the ball ten yards across center -of field. On third down Overall punted forty yards, and California got the ball for Stanford holding in line. California got its five yards in three downs, and then lost it on downs, twenty yards from the goal line, a fake kick faling to advance the ball. Magee punted fifty-five yards, and Sherman ran the punt in twenty yards. An exchange of punts and another long one by Magee and a California foul gave Stanford the ball on the twenty-yard line in California territory. FIRST DOWN IS GAINED. First down was gained, but on the next two line bucks. Stanford was stopped and Tarpey was again sent back for a try at goal. Again the kick was blocked and a California man got the ball on the thirty-yard line. Overall punted on third Continued on Page 84, Column 3.
