POE Princeton Man Says Battle Is Won on Merits. —— Cardinal WorksLike a Star Eastern Aggregation. BY J. P. POE, UMPIRE. Stanford had the superior team and to her velonged the game. The wear- ers of the cardinal showed up in reg- ular Eastern form, and, I think, their playing as a whole was the equal of that of many Atlantic States institu- tions. Hard-fought though the contest was and notwithstanding the struggle for every inch of space between the oppo- site goal posts, the indomitable Stan- ford men showed truer ability to cover the distance. Neither can the five points made by California be considered the result of anything but the hardest playing. The Pacific Coast has two teams here of which it should be justly proud. Their playing yesterday causes me to say this. I have officiated at several contests since my university days, but this game was one of the cleanést I ever saw. | ‘What little penalizing was done came | from over anxliety on the part of the players and was not in the least inten- tional. For this.the coaches deserve great credit. Nothing helps the game more than to have it played cleenly. Yesterday's struggle was on the square. o+ —_— crimson line, but Richardson fell: on the ball in the center of the field.

Tim Thirty-five minute anvn Score: Stan- ford, 12; Californ!a, 5. ! | The cardinal victory was due to the Stanford men, who played the game. They fought hard; they fought squarely and they won. I expected it of them, yet I cannot praise the spirit they showed too much. It was as fine a group of fighters as I ever sent into a football game and the victory was due them. Coach Knibbs had eleven players in excellent condition and the stubborn game they put up showed the result of weeks of consistent training. Those Callfornia men played good, clean foot- ball. They showeéd the spirit of true sportsmen and the grit they displayed was marvelous. Knibbs did his work well, but we had the most formidable team. I have never seen the proverb more cleal demonstrated: “The best team wins.” —_————— WINNERS DO GOOD WORK. Colonel George C. Bdwards, chair- man of the faculty athletic comumittee of the University of California, said of the struggle: “California had just as good a team as Stanford. But for a few mistakes in judgment the game the blueand gold ; played was all that could be desired, The cardinal team was better than 1 expected, and the players are to be congratulated upon the showing they made. The work of the winners was a great improvement over what they had done early in the season. This im- provement in form was no doubt due to application on the part of the men to the teachings of Coach Lanagan. “Knibbs made no revision of coast football tactics that I have seen other than that he enthused his masterful personality into the men, bettering their playing thereby. Knibbs is a great coach, honest, a hard worker and a gentleman. The last Is what makes football the best of all athletics. “I do not believe in the suggested changes to make the game one to be played by weaklings. It is meant for men—strong, developed men. When it 1s made otherfvise I think the next best sport is boxing. _I am an advocate of the twenty-five nRnute half. The usual thirty-five minutes Is too long for the mwen to be under the strain. With the conditions as they are the game was the best I ever witnessed.” —_————————— Sherman Indiaus Fail to Score. SEATTLE, Nov. 11.—Washington Uni- versity defeated the Sherman Indians this afternoon by a score of 3 to 0 in one of the greatest games of foot- ball ever seen in the Northwest. Wash- ington outplayed the redskins in every department of the game, going through the line for constant gains and around the onds for still greater gains. Tho most spectacular feature of the game was a 106-yard run by Cole (Washing- ton) for a touchdown. The Indians played' a hard and steady game, but were clearly outclagsed.

PARIS, Nov. 11.—One attraction of the week has been the chrysanthemum show on the cours la Reine, which was opened by President Loupet. Among the novelties shown were violets grow- on trees. .

Major Colleges — Hard Fight. BY NEIL>ON POE, REFEREB. It was a good, clean game from start to finish and the best team came out victorious. Stanford outplayed Cali-| fornia in every point of the game. I bave seldom seen such a brilliant game, even among the great Eastern univer- sitiles. It was an evenly contested trial of brawn against brawn. 1 don’t think Stanford could = score against Harvard, Yale or Princeton, but these teams would know they Nad been play- ing after they had defeated the car-, dinals. | The work of the Stanford backfleld | was superb. The way the backs han- | dled the punts on the defense was bril- | liant. Captain Chalmers, especially, ex- | celled in this phase of the game and I| think more than half of the credit is due him for the wictory. ! Again I wish to emphasize the clean- | ness of the game and the sportsman- like conduct of Captain Force of the'l blue and gold team when the cardinal | captain was forced out of the game. Taking everything into consideration, I believe Stanford could repeat m-dny':‘ performance. - —————————— EIGHT ELEVENS WILL PLAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP TO-DAY Independent Association Football Team | Jouneys to Santa Crus to Meet | Seastde Kickers. | The San Francisco association foot- bal team (formerly the Pickwicks) will make its first appearance in a cham- | plonship match this season to-day om | — The work of the California team was not'a disappointment to me. The men played a clean, straight game, and were beaten just as fairly. The outcome was just as I had expected in that not a wearer of the blue and gold faltered or showed the quitting spirit. .Every one of the eleven deserves the praise accorded to true fighters—men who played an unparalleled game against their superiors. We relied on stralght football—the only kind of successful football—to win, and were defeated. My opinion of the California team ls that it was In good condition, yet the other side had better men. Coach Lanagan deserves the gongrat- ulations of the university for the way his team showed up. He is competent, as the result of the game indicates. His team was in the pink of form. They work like a raachine, and but for a slight streak of inconsistency they did wonderfully well. g DEDICATE STANFORD FIELD. ¢ Professor Angell Proud of Manner the Cardinal Performed the Duty. Dr. Frank Angell, chairman of the faculty athletic committee of Stanford, sald after the game: “A glorious game and a glorious vic- tory. The style of playing was beyond reproach from the first to the last bigst of the whistle. The contest was clean and sportsmanlike. I think Stanford was better from the first, but was not confident during the first minutes of play because of the excitement which the intercollegiate game always brings. “The California supporters have a right to be proud of the men who rep- resented them in this famous game. ThoSe eleven wearers of the blue and gold had all the grit and endurance that go to make the game of football what it is. The conspicuous lack of all brutality and unfair playing made the result more of a pleasure to the witnesses. “I am exceedingly pleased with the result because of its significance. Last year we did the serpentine on the new California field. and yesterday the blue and gold came to turn the tables. We have triumphed and fittingly dedicated our own Stanford fleld. ‘‘Another point has been settled by this victory of ‘the cardinal over the State University. Never will the men of Stanford doubt that the graduats coach system is the most satisfactory.” —————— INDIANS ROUT THE SOLDIERS. Prince Louis of Battenburg Witnesses Defeat of West Point. WEST POINT, Nov. 11.—Failure kick a goal caused West Point to lose to-day to the Carlisfé Indian football eleven. The score was 6 to 5 In the Indians’ favor. The goal which would have tled the ‘score was missed by less than six inches. Prince Louis of Bat- tenburg was 'a spectator of the game. He watched it Intently throughout, sel- dom taking his gaze off the play. Two _entirely different types of foot- ball players were pitted against each other. The Indlans used trick plays I,?l‘qu‘hput the game and the army itgaun, relying on its superior physical rength to crush its way to the goal to Hne. BV g, o oo International Football Game.

The Hardest Fought " Game Fans May Ewer See. \ BY JAMES FORCE, CAPTAIN OF THE CALIFORNIA TEAM. It was the hardest fought and hard- est won game that will happen in many years of intercollegiate football Credit is due the victors for one of the cleanest and most gentlemanly of Sames. We were beaten at our own Bame—straight football. Captain Chalmers handled his men ltke a general. His previous experience in the game was a great aid, no doubt, in accomplishing what he did. I was sorry to see such a neryy player retire on account of injuries. There were ten other men on the Stanford team that are to be admired. Eaeh of them played the game of his life. Back of California’s reputation was an aggregation of as hard workers as ever wore the varsity “C.” We came down to Palo Alto expecting to win a stiff contest. We were beaten, and I know the best eleven was victorious.

The vast throng enjoyed every moment of the game, and the mass of colors, the beautfful tints of the autumn sky, with the white garments of thousands of wom- en back of the rich fleld of blue and gold or cardinal, made a picture that will long linger in the memories of those who en- Joyed the i ing sight of a mad multi- tude stirred by hopes and fears or spurred to yelling like demons by the music of the bands.

Burglars continue to ply their voca- tion throughout the city with much boldness Among the reports recelved yesterday at headquarters was one from N. V. Hansom, 435 Falr Oaks street. He reported that his wife left the house at 1 o'clock on Friday after- noon by the rear door. She saw a man standing in front of the house and another man across the street, both of whom she would be able to recog- nize again. When she returned about 4 o'clock she discovered that the room occupled by her girls had been en- tered and two Durses, containing $43, and jewelry of the value of $20 had been stolem. Nome of the other rooms had been visited. Mrs. F. D. Hardle, a neighbor, saw a man on the Hanson rear porch about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Albert Gerberding, 2330 Pacifio avenue, reported that her residence had been entered on Friday and a purse containing $1, two gold chains, a gold thimble and a gold ring, of the aggre- gate value of $25, stolen. Entrance had been effected through the rear door with a false key. Antonio Lecettl reported that his stable dt 714 Pacific street had been entered early yesterday morning by breaking the lock off the door and 150 grain sacks and other articles stole: Bernard A. Stevens reported that his room at 509 O'Farrell street had been entered by means of a false key on Friday and a suit of clothes, valued at $35, stolen. —_———— CANNOT ENLARGE WOODEN BUILDINGS IN FIRE LIMITS City Attorney Says Ordinance Prevents Board of Works From Granting Permits for Such Alteratioms. City Attorney Long yesterday filed an opinion with the Fire Marshal that the Board of Works is prevented by an ordinance from permitting a wooden building within the firs limits to be en- larged or bullt upon, even though such enlargement be of brick or stone. The opinion says: “The evident pufpose of said ordi- nance is not only to prohibit the fur- ther erection of wood frame bulldings within the fire limits, but to bring about the gradual substitution therefor of buildings constructed of brick, stone and other non-inflammable materials. Under this view the reason for declar- ing that mo wood frame building within the fire limits shall be enlarged or built upon’ is apparent. The in- creasing demands of a growing popu- lation call for the erection of larger and more modern buildings. As the property owners are prevented by said ordinance from enlarging or butlding upon the old wood frame buildings, such bulldings must necessarily be the torn down and fireproof amd semi- fireproof bulldings erected in their place. Thus the purpose of the ordi- nance s accomplished.” The opinion will prevent the proposed ralsing of a two-story frame building at the southeast corner of Dupont and California streets. — —————— Moncla” Julius S.
