INGRAM Head Coach, Unlmriity California, STANFORD STADIUM. Palo Alto, Nov. 21. California defeated Stanford today, 6 to 0, for the first time since 1923. The victory was a great thine for the game of football, for it was a comnlcte justification of those manly qualities of determination and fortitude exhibited by the players of the California team this year.

The victory was a great achievement for these boys and in achieving it they won from a fine, well-drilled Stanford team that was dangerous for the full period of the. game. For the California team, the victory marked another step in their progress since the befrinning of the season. This steady, de termined progress which in Sentember was undoubtedly one of the chief factors in the successful play of the team in to game. The California players demonstrated offensive strength and they showed, too, that they could cope successfully with an exceptional pass attack.

Too much credit cannot, be given to these boys in their achievement. To single out individuals for praise would be unfair to other mem ber of the squad who were in the game for the victory they deserved.

Phil Moffatt, huddling on the Stanford bench and there's the story in California's .6 to 0 victory over Stanford at Palo Alto yesterday, the first California victory since There was just that difference between the Big flame contestants Hank, going plnces that Moffatt could have gone.

KlKht long years the Golden. Rears had waited for that moment when they could tear down Stanford's goal posts, and they went at.lt with a vengeance after that' narrow victory. And while they're thanking Hank Schaldach for those Wooden trophies, the might also send a vote of thanks to Phil Mof- fntt for not participating in the contest. Had Stanford had a back who could step out and take yardage when it was needed, as Moffatt' probably could have done, the game probably would have been another tie. As It was, Stanford did not have Moffatt, and Calif or- nla did have Schaldach, and that made a touchdown difference, which the Golden Bears proceeded to prove beyond a SCORE SHOWS MARGIN As Big Games go it was.

not one of the best, nor most eiclt-lug, but that Was because the outcome, until the last quarter, was never In doubt. In the last period.

Schnldach was all over the field, and he was miles over the other backs as the star of the day.

Stinford VaiTtriitr. STANFORD STADIUM, Palo Alto. Nov. 21. California won a hard fought game from Stanford, the first for the Bears in eight years.

Their victory was well earned and I am sure all Stanford men congratulate Bill Ingram on his splendid team. I have heard many Stanford alumni the past year or two say they thought it would be a good thing if the Bears won the Big Game once in a while, so they cannot take the defeat very sadly. Stanford was not out-fouffht. They played their best and I have no fault to find with their spirit nor their playing. Jt was a very even game and it was won by California by some clever forward passmg.

Their running attack could not make consistent gains and for that matter neither was Stanford's 1 running ktjack good enough to seriously threaten the Bean' goal. I cannot single out any pa reticular players who stood out unless it was Corbus, the Stanford right guard, Captain Hillman also played fine game. The punting of neither team was very good but neither team made any mistakes in handling opponent kicks. It was a well played game and there is no sting in the defeat for Again I say congratulations to the Bears. (CPTtitht, ISSt.
