STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 10.— The varsity cleven defeated the Pensa- | | cola football team in a very one-sided game this afternoon by the score of 34 to 0. Only twice during the entire game did the Goat Island team make their distance | on downs, and Fuliback Jones was re- sponsible for these galns in both in- stances. The ecore hardly indicates the comparative strength of the two teams, for three times Stanford relinquished eas: chances for touchdowns In order to give left tackle Sprott a chance to try for fleld goals. Sprott seemed unable to locate the | goal posts accurately, although he had | three good chances, all from points inside | the thirty-yard line and one from only | fifteen yards. i The showing made by the varsity was | satisfactory to both coaches and rooters except for the fumbling. Stanford fum- | bled a half-dozen times, principally in the | second half, after almost the entire team had been substituted. | Stanford played twenty-five men during | ! the game, carrving out Coach Lanagan's intention of playing at least twenty-three | men n every preliminary game. George | Clark '04, who played a star game at | | right end last season, played his first game of this season to-day, showing up in | varsity form. Of the eight men that played balves and fullback for Stanford to-day it would be hard to pick out any one man as the star—all played hard, consistent and, at times, brilliant ball. Jones, fullback, and Left End McKes of the Pensacola team put up the best game | for the Goat Island players. tanford’s first touchdown was made in | | less than three minutes of play, the ball being taken over the line by Pau! Tarpey after a thirty-yard run. Five points of the thirty-four were made by ‘‘Savage' Dole on a drop kick from the éwenty- vard line. The teams lined up as follows: Stanford. Positions. Pensacola. | 8prott, Mon Thompson, Frederickson. Stiliman, Shie; Preston, Stevens. Lutgerding . Sav Hyde. Tarpey, Chardler Schalfleld, Chalmers, Shine... Fullback Umpire—Blake; pheneon.

Standing room was at a premium in the cavaclous court at Central Park ilast night. The final contest of the tug of { war tournament brought out a crowd that taxed the grounds to their utmost. | During the prévious evenings of the trials the adherents of the different teams bad always showed their loyalty in true fashion, but in last night's events the | spectators nearly went wild in spurring on to victory the teams on which they had | | banked their confidence and likewise their | Saturday night's earnings. Michael Casey's bunch of teamsters got | a drubbing from the plasterers. When the teams came together the rope was hardly taut when the plasterers | started the teamsters going and kept | | them on a run that would do justice to | a hundred-yard sprinter out for a rec- ord. In just nine seconds after the ref- | erce had fired the starting shot he had | to explode another cartridge to tell of the teamsters’ awful faflure. The bridge workers took a fall out of | the carmen after a long, hard pull that lasted neariy half an hour. The carmen | were game, but never during the tug could they get a cleat on their opponents. | Two teams that had not suffered defeat during the tourney came together as the | evening's event. Eight heavy men that handls lumber longshore were pitted against a team of | carpenters of lighter weight. What the carpenters lacked In avoirdupols they | made up in cunning and cleverness and | in a second or two less than six minutes | took the city front bunch over the line in a scramble and won the tournament. | The teams at the finish stood as fol- lows: Carpenters, undefeated, first; longshore | ‘lumbermen, second; teamsters, third; | bridge workers, fourth; cement workers, | fifth; laborers and carmen, tied for sixth place. According to reports the tourney was a financial success. ————— OAKLAND, Oct. 10.—The following mar. riage licenses were issued by the County Clerk to-day: Richard W.

They fought in a wav peculiarly feminine for their right to receive their lovers and to be wooed and won and married when, where and how they pleased. The men fought against it, but the women won. and in pursuance of that victory they dragged the defeated candidates out of office by main force. Hence oificial Kansas’ perturbation.
