STORY OF THE GREAT BATTLE FROM LINE TO LINE Jt'ST wo points scored on a safety, and that was all. Seventy minutes of fiercest, most (Trillins and exdtlni play ever on Western gridiron brousht the ratacerest eort of a victory- to the Indians and made California transcendent Jn whit may aptly be called victorious defeat. The wise ones cried out before jame: "Oh. with the Indians next to the 43." Well, it wasn't forty, r.or it a single touchdown: nothing but ft safety, that solace which Is allowed .1 tci.ni when Its own Impetus forces the behind the goal when held by the enemy. The preat battle of East and West was fo isht en a fair field and close to the time.

With a shout and cheer tl Indians filed cut of the central optn- Ji on the west slile of the field shortly I ftcr 2 o'clock; and under the guidance Captkla Wheolork performed their first evolutions agmlsst an atmospheric enemy. J'ast and saappy ar.d full of gir.ser was plsrial practice. Sighs went up from the California bleachers as the yelllnj; enthuriasts. all r.e<Jork(d with blue ond vatrhod with the fauitless action of the redmen. Hut soon after California's veteran icnm dashed upon Odd and bepan its preliminary practice.

tmed i Captain Waeeloek it vra? who start ed hall rolling. The pigskin railed into ihe air. dropping ir.tn Kaarsbcrg's hands on California's 'wcnty-flve-yard line. Two nervous attacks by the blue and gold brought no r.tlii. and tCaarcberg punted to standing yards on the other Kido of the center.

It the s' J-all and California was now put to t'si. Fcneca lirst and Miller after him came with swinging pait and fierce t-n-dravor at the California line, hut there was no shaking the blue and gold utpopts. The surprise was as grvat to the Indians as to the California rooters, and rut end of thouting when "VYheelork was forced to California's defense was Impregnable. I the the ball sailed and became once again. The Indians were too eager on their toe? to pet away, end an off Elde play gave tea by way of sift.

Smith, "locomotor." Rround gainer, made five yards, but the two succeeding at the Indian fort were repulsed and Kaarsberg f(jrced to punt. Smash came Metoxen against the blue and gold center after the line-up, but not an inch did he pain. Miller tried It with the same result, so Wheelock had to punt once more fur pafety's sake. California's defense traa like adamant. Another redman's punt was in order, and the ball was of bine color on the California twentyyard line.

Then followed a scries of The atr was redolent with an Indian touchdown. Twenty yards from tho gual the were at this time and the smell of victory was In their nostrils. the California left end, forgot himself and be held nis opponent, which is a grievous football trror and for which his penalized by the loss of the ball. was the time ripe for tho Indians rcore, out it was not to be.

There were many old tfiat thought California would si-ore, but the piay showed reverse after loss followed, until the Indians rc-gainc-d liie pigskin on their own li.i>-y«rd noon to 11 a luruble. And then began determined, ipultlc ciutrgv nail was shot at Ibe opposing line, Smita went through cickltm and K-aursberg around the lor small gains, but they aggregated appreciable distances. To the Indian twenty-Ilve-yard line California carried the pigskin, but hero the death knell was rung, and that was the closest to a touchdown the blue and gold were at any time during the game. The time was font ebbing away and fpet'dy. lightning work on cither Bide had 10 In order to earn a score.

Then it was that the Indians uncovered their speed. Like streaks of red they forged the Held five yards at a time until they set their tracks on California's thlrty-nve-yard line, and here the university men made an Intrepid stand. Time was Heeling, so the signal was given for Hudson to a drop kick for goal. He tried, but that famous little field-goal kicker misled his mark, and the only chance to that half had evanesced. From tho lino California punted to center and the whistle cut the first h.ilf with the ball In tho Indians' pospession.

clows to center of the field. Second Half. Fierce, dopffed and muscle tearing had tho work of the first half for both elevens. California, with Its men trained none too well, had gone Into the battle find played grittily without a moments So had Indians, for there was no let up, no moments of light work for cither team. Sever was a rest more hunfrrrc-d after than that between the halves.

and never did it produce such wholesome results. The blue and gold lined up on the center with more heart than when they took their positions an hour before. They realized how strong they were la defense, and at the time did not undervalue the strength of the opposition, Carlisle more or leas st the wonderful vigor of a team they had been to believe to weak compared with Karicrn standards, but the resolution of Indiana did not on this account. All recognized once that second KAARSBERG IN A DARING LEAP OVER THE INDIAN LINE. hair would bo a struggle to the doatli, and lh.it endurance would be Us measure.

California kicked off to the Indians' 25-yard line. The blue and gold wns certainly not dead, for the Indian advanca was checked right and eloclc was again forced to punt, and the ball went to the blue and gold In the center: but In the next play Hall fumbled, and on Indian assimilated the. pigskin. Hut the Indians' phalanx opposition brought no gain with it. and again the safe-making punt was resorted to.

California was equally unsuccessful In offensive play, and Kaarsberg punted to Hudson. Again California's defense stuck like glue, and Hudson took another chance at a field goal, but was far off the mark. So the game went, most of it In California territory, the Indians making alow short gains and then being checked In their advance by the stiffening of California's rushers. The ball oscillated back and forth a huge pendulum, llrst on MM side of the fleld. then the other A splendid run by Kaarsberg and Smith on a double pass.

Just as Kaarsberg was tackled, brought out shouts and echoes from the stands, but it was of no avail and Kaarsberg was obliged to punt again and the ball was Indian on the California fifty-yard line. Metoxen, buck- Ing fullback, known all ever the East as a marvel of line-damaging propensities, was brought Into the play, and he gained where no other man could, but even was stopped and held up short whenever California was injected with grU and ginger. On a forced punt by Wheclock the ball rolled over California goal line and was punted back to the center from the twenty-ttve-yard -line, only to fall Into the hands of Hudson, who with good Interference shot through a pack of blue and gold shirts for twenty yards. It was now the Indians' ball and the distance which separated them from California' goal posts was not more than thlrty-llvo yards. Metoxen dashed through the lino for live yards and again for three yards.

Then the Indians began attempting some trick work In double passes, but the local men were on the alert and nothing came of it, so punting was resorted to. Backward and forward the ball moved in IHE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26. 1899. tho Indian territory. Every time that a ouchdown seemed Imminent for the In-1 California would -spread glue all over Itself and hold fast as nails.

Smith was being used up in the fierce work i forced upon him. but he refused to quit the field. Gamely and with determination the Indians would fight their way from tho center of the field to the Californiathirty and twenty yard lines, but no fur: ther could they go. All their tactics, all their stratagem was utilized. Tho Indian team would shoot over to one side of the ball and with a tandem Interference they I i would advance, only to be repulsed at the I end.

Grilling as the work was. Califor- 1 nia's men stood the brunt of battle, but I Smith, with weakened ankle, had to be packed off the field. He was replaced by Moore, whose punting excelled that of Kaarsberg. Soon after little Hudson was carried off the Held amid the cheering of every man, woman and child on the bleachers. And so the battle waged, nothing approaching it ever having, been seen on this cpast.

After three successive but checked attempts at California's the I Indians secured the boll at the center. Captain Wheelock realized that little could be done unless it were done fast and he Inspired his men this time. Right through the center dashed Metoxen for ten yards and the Indians lined up almost tho moment he was downed. The tandem shoot netted live yards on the right side of the line, and Metoxen again lessened the distance. Seneca went at it.

"Hold hold. California," but California did not hold. To the 20-yard line the red men had made their ground and clouds began to rather over the blue and gold bleachers.

Immediately after the game the members of the Carlisle team went to their 1 rooms at. the The men were tired from their exertions and many had sore spots. Nearly every one of the redskins complained of the softness of the field and the largeness of the ball. They dubbed the pigskin the "California pumpkin" and claimed it caused the many fumbles which occurred on their side. MANAGER THOMPSON of the Indiana was rather put out over the result of the game.

Ha- he would be willing to bet his salary that the Indians could defeat tho California team by a score of 40 to 0 a. Held. COACH WARNER thought that the long railroad Journey had something to do with the showing made by the Carllsles. lie also complained that the Held was too soft and retarded the Indians' work. He spoku highly of the California team and tnought Its standard of playing was on a par with the best Eastern teams.

The members of the California team took off the evidences of a hard battle at tho Grand Hotel. They wero a jubilant lot of players despite physical soreness. Pringle and Smith were put to bed on arriving at the hotel, but not stay long under cover. Prlngle's right too bothered him considerably, and to relieve the pain he had one of his fellow players take a sharft, knife and bore into the nail for the purpose of letting out the blood. He showed as much grit during the painful operation as he has done during his whole football career.

AL LEAN, the team's trainer, was as happy as a lark. He flitted around the men administering to their wants, patting them on the back for their good work and acting like a man who felt satisfied." He said that the men wont into the game in ns good condition as on Thanksgiving day Ho thinks that the week's rest was beneficial to the eleven; that they went into the game stronger and played with greater vim than ever before. He said It taught him that too much work shows on a team, and in. future: he will see that players are given more rest. He half regretfully stated that yesterday's contest severed his connection with the Berkeley team BENJAMIX IDE WHEELER, president of the University of California, was much pleased with the showing made by the representatives of the university.

He said that at the close of the Stanford-Berkeley game Thanksgiving day he came to the conclusion that the standard of play in vogue here was good us in the East. He thought both teams put up fine football In yesterday's game, and was much pleased with the gentlemanly way all concerned played the game. He of a conversation he had with Coach Warner, during which the latter said that California would rank with the best teams of the East. GARRT COCHRA2C waa non-commlt- tal. All he would say that both teams put up good football, and that the Indlans would not have scored but for Hie mistakes In signals In the first half.

He iT to much fumbling. COACH KELLY was extremely happy over the result of the contest. Owing to the injuries Cochran sustained while practicing with the Varsity the duties of coaching the college men devolved on him, and the showing they made against the famous redmen greatly pleased him. He said: "California certainly did herself proud to-day. The Indiana have no excuses to offer.

They put up as hard Kii.ni>' as I seen them play. In my opinion the ground did not retard their action. They were as fast in the movements as in previous games. The Berkeley team could give any of Eastern elevens a hard rub. Womble played one of the best games at end that I have ever seen on the field.

I think Metoxen and Hudson played the game for the Indlarv The former's line bucking was a marvel to the local men.
