On this play he ploughed through the Bear line and is pictured carrying the secondary defense with him for a total gain of eight yards, starting the Cards on their advance. At the right Murphy is shown leaping from the rear and over the heads of Mell and Huber to spoil Perrin's pass on the Stanford 21-yard line and give the Cards possession of the oval on downs.
