SAN FRANcIsco, Cal, Nov. 19.-Stanford made its only score in just three Stanford rooters were as coclSy as the flea who had his breakfast on the lip of lion. Stanford made its first, last and only flash at scoring in those three minutes After that Stanford put in most of the afternoon trying to keep the score down. The boys with the red shirts fought hard as individuals. but they were up against too much class and were showed under by a 42–⁠7 score California tried hard to make II half q hundred. but Brickmuller’s long forward passes did not work. No team in big game ever got better break in the luck than Stanford got in that opening kickoff. The ball was kicked nearly to the line and Toomey should have let it roll over for a touchback. But he caught the ball and tried to run it back. He was tackled hard by Campbell and dropped the ball as he fell. 1t was ghastly for California, for Stanford had the ball only yard from the last chalk mark. with four tries to put II cNei tHc uoSS an iitSu anu frisky. Three fierce assaults on the line were repulsed with not an inch gained, and then Capt Patrick shot through the air, leaping over the shoulders of the CAL ifornia forward He fell on his face. with the ball under him. He was just over the line, and Stanford had scored it’s only touchdown of the day. Late in the game, when it was grow ing dark.
