  And Occasionally Lifted a Player THE GENTLE GRIDIR0N GAME AS SHE IS PLAYED BY COLLEGE STUDENTS Death of Georgia Fiend the Only Fatality-General Athletic and Sporting Notes Associated Press Special Wire. AS>ocihteu fresS special wire. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 3O.-Over 5000 people at Recreation park this afternoon witnessed the annual freshmen game between Stanford university and the University of California. 1t was the most hotly-contested match which has taken place in all the years since the freshmen of the two colleges began lin ing up against each other. Freshmen are not expected to play first class foot ball, and in today’s game there was apsolutely no interference worthy of the name, and fumbles were frequent, but what was lacking in science was made up in vigor The Stanford players won the game by a score of 16 to s, although at first everything seemed to be coming Berkeley’s way, the blue and gold scoring the first touchdown before the ball had been in play ten minutes, but after that Stanford scored again and again, and Berkeley only scored one more touchdown, and that at the end of the second half. Stanford carried the ball clear across the field by short runs, scoring a touchdown and goal, so that at the end of the first half the score was six to four in favor of Stanford. In the second half Beckley of Stanford ran half way across the field, getting touchdown, but his run was distanced by that of Premo, the speedy and heavy end of the Berkeley eleven, who made fifty yard run and a touchdown. Berkeley twice missed goal after a touchdown, and the score stood 16 to in favor of Stanford when the play ended. STANFORD RELIANCE SAN JOSE, Oct. 3O.-Today for the third time this season the Stanford var sity team made the Reliance eleven feel the pangs Of defeat, the score standing II to in favor of the collegians. The game took place on the Cyclers’ park gridiron and was witnessed by abou. thousand people, large proportion of whom were students. 1t was not an easy victory for Stan ford, as the Reliance athletes put up a hard fight, making many brilliant plays At critical moments Reliance did all of it’s scoring in the first half, the varsity boys seeming to be content with playing the defensive. Reliance took advantage of this pleasing state of affairs and did some fast work. Carter made a toucchdown and Wyckoff kicked a goal, and when the first half closed the score stood 6 to 0, 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, Stanford’s quarterback, played in great form ard experienced no difficulty in passing through Reliance’s interference. Fisher made the first touchdown for Stanford and soon afterward Murphy kicked a goal, tieing the score. Daily made a great run. landing the ball safely over the line and putting the collegians in the lead. Murphy kicked another goal, in creasing the score of the varsity team to an even dozen. In the last four min utes Reliance made a desperate effort to pull the game out Of the fire, but while they succeeded in keeping the Stan ford eleven very busy they failed to score. HARVARD-C CORNELL CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 30.-Harward easily defeated Cornell on Soldiers field today, but was scored on for the first time this season. Harvard made four ch-downs, and forced Cornell to make a safety, while in the first half after gaining the ball on muffed kick Young kicked a pretty goal from the field for Cornell. This made the final score, with three goals from touchdowns, “a to in favor of the Harvard men. At the last of the first half Harvards out look was discouraging. The crimson should have made much better stand to protect the goal, and had not the Cor nell backs hammered successfully at the right of Harvard’s line, it is doubtful whether Cornell would have got near enough to risk the kick. Harvard’s defensive work was decidedly erratic in the first half, but showed a marked improvement in the second. On the offensive Harvard put up, on the whole, strong game. Score: Harvard, “a; Cornell, 5. ouchdowns-Cabot Boal (2), Mills. Goals from uchdowns-Garrison (3). Goal from field-Young. YALE DEFEATED WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. 3O.-The ca dets had it up their sleeve for Yale today, and had it not been for run by one of Yale’s speedy backs, the score would have been to in favor of West Point, instead of tie. West Point played a superb game, and, according to Walter Camp, “Yale’s defense is a thing of the past” They could not hold the strong line, and repeatedly gains were made through the veteran Rogers position. Yale, 6; West Point, 6. THE TIGERS WIN PRINCETON, N. j., Oct 30.-Princeton defeated the strong Dartmouth team today by score of 80 to 0. The game was marked by it’s fierceness, and the fact that the Tigers were dangerously threatened in the first half touch down being avoided only through an unfortunate decision of the referee, who gave the ball to Princeton when on the fifteen yard line for holding the line. Princeton’s interference and team work in the first half was extremely ragged. A PLAYER KILLED ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 30.-Universty of Virginia, II; University of Georgia, 4. Cannon, of the, Georgia team, was SO badly hurt in a scrimmage that his recovery is doubtful. He has conclusion of the brain.

  YALE, 6; WEST POINT, 6 The Game With the Young Cadets Re- suited in a Tie-Something Radically Wrong-Hillhouse Eleven Defeated Waterbury Yale’s university eleven came near suffering defeat at the hands of the sturdy young lads of West Point mili- tary academy on the parade ground of the school last Saturday afternoon. As it was, the Yale team was played to a standstill in every particular Weak defensive work can be attributed as the cause of the poor showing made by the Yale eleven. This fact was talk en advantage of by the West Pointers. and the way they plunged through the line for repeated gains of from five to fifteen yards was exceedingly disheart- ening to the supporters of the blue. Several times Yale lost the ball on downs. Such thing is almost un- known in the history of former teams and especially in a game with one of the smaller colleges. When round-the- end and line plays were found fruitless kicking game was tried, but was not much more successful. Yale was unable to score in the first half, and had it not been for a lucky sixty-yard run about the middle of the second half, and touchdown shortly after, the game would have been West Points by the score of to 0. There were no brilliant features in the game, but the kicking and line bucking of Romeyn, West Points full back, brought forth much favorable comment. Yales coaches had not anticipated a hard game, but rather counted on an easy victory. They were very seriously mistaken, as was evidenced by the
