    Long Passes, 5prints By Santa Clara Nip Stanford, f, 14–⁠6 BY the Associated freSS. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 3.-Two swift passes, two flashing runs and Santa Clara charged to a 14-to-6 victory over its old rival. Stanford, today in a football game played before approximately $4,000 fans. Santa Clara, pre-game favorite, turned the tables on the T-formaton exponents with two doses of the same pitching and throwing combination and the same kind of pass. 1t was Left Halfback Jesse Freitas to Left End AL Beals in the opening quarter and again in the last period. The first touchdown play tailed off 19-yard throw and a 40-yard run by Beals. The Indians, who chalked up vic tories over the Broncos the last two years, scored their touchdown in the final period. Randall Fawcett, fullback, raced around right end for IS yards to score.
