  ON The GRIDIRON. STANFORD BEATS RELIANCE AT FOOTBALL. Cornell Comes Out Second Best IN a Game With Harvard by a Score Of “a to 5. SAN. JOSE. Oct. 30.-To-day for the third time this season the Stanford University team made the Reliance eleven feel the pangs Of defeat. Ihe score standing i to 6 in favor of the collegians. The game took place IN the Cvclers’ Park gridiron, and was Wilt messed by about one thousand people, a large proportion of whom were stu dents. 1t was not an easy victory for Stan ford. as the Reliance athletes put up a hard fsht, making many brilliant plays at critical moments Reliance dld all of its scoring in the first half, the var sity boys seeming to be content with playing the defensive. Reliance took advantage of this pleasing state OF al fairs ard did some fast work Carter made a touchdown, and Wyckof kick ed d goal, and when the first half closed the score stood . to U, Stanford being at the cipher end. Then the collegians took the offensive, and it did not take long for them to show their superiority. Murphy, STAN ford’s quarter back, played IN great form. and experienced no difficulty in passing through Reliance’s interference. Fisher made the first touchdown Tor Stanford soon afterward and Murphy kicked a goal, tieing the score. Daily made a great run, landing the ball safely over the line and putting the colIegians in the lead. Murphy kick ed another goal, increasing the score of the varsity team to an even dozen. In the last four minutes Reliance made a desperate effort to pull the game out of the fire, but while they succeeded in keeping the Stanford eleven busy, they failed to score. CAMBRIDGE (OIass.), Oct. 30.-Harward easily defeated Cornell on Soldiers Field to-day, but was scored on for the first time this season.
