Tlio mueli-taiked-of and anxiously I awaited intercollegiate football contest between the teams of the Stanford and Berkeley Universities takes place this alternoon at the Haight-strcet baseball grounds in Sau Francisco. A large number of Sacramentana of b .th sexes will witness the game, many Of them having gone to the metropolis aiready to see tho Berkeleyiies at their practice. Both teams are in magnificent condi tion and a great game is looked for. (. irowi.N'c, iv PAVOB. Football is becoming very popular in nu.try of late, and has taken a strong foothold on tbe Pacific Coast. It is essentially a winter game, being alto gether too "speedy" for summer weather. s Lcrameuto has some good football play ers and many admirers of the game. Teams are being organized in dillerent I parts of town, and some contests at Snow - Hake Park are on the tapis. Tho athletic • gone into the game, too, and will organize a couple of teams to-mor row morning at Agricultural i'ark under the direction of k. Y. Cole, the well i! wrestler and all-around athlete. :•'•' people have not yet been ini into the mysteries of the game of I all, and for the benefit of those who never* en a game, and who know ir th..*.v it is played, the Rkcord-Unios haa prepared a description as follows: DETAILS OV 1 Hi: GAME. Tha game of football is, in its way, as scientific and technical as the game of . As in the pastime of tlie royal board, there are unlimited resources for a display of brains and generalship. It res a great deal of patience and practice to become a great chess player, and jusl as much hard work to become profieii nl in manipulating tlie I eat hor ball. Neither game can be learned thor oughly in a day, or even a year. The regulation football grounds, such a thai on Manhattan fit id, are 330 feet _tb and 100 feet wide. A goal is in km in the middle of each goal line. 'Ibis goal i.s composed of two upright posts twenty or more leet high. The j -ts rip* placed Is feet 6 inches apart ; l a cross-bar, which is put ten fri in the ground. I he field is marked in slack lime with transverse lines every five yards. This is dono to enable the referee to decide how iar the ball is advanced at every down. The regulation ball used is an oval leather cover, containing a rubber inner, which is inflated. Eleven men form a team or side. They are divided into seven rushers or forwards, who take up a position in a line lacing their seven opponents. The quarter-back stands be hind tne line. A lew yards behind the quarter-back stand the two half-backs, Tne sr.nn' distance in the rear is the posi tion ior the full-leek or goal tend. lhe heaviest member of tiie team is gem rally the center rush or snap-back. All the heaviest men are to bo found iv tlie rush line, because they are obliged to do all the hard part oi the work. Tiie end men art- usually speedy runners, but the half-backs are considered the fastest on the team, liny Have to do most of the running with the ball under the pro nof the rush line. In addition to being a quick runner it is necessary Uiat the lull back should be infallible almost as an accurate kicker, lt is the c rash who puts the ball in play, iie snaps it back from between bis legs to ti. ■ quarter-back. 1 he opposing learn tries to get through the rush line to obtain possession of the ball and the rush live tries to prevent it. A common way of starting the game is for tbe player to touch the ball with his foot and then pass .t lo one of the run ners of bis own side behind him. The other members of tlie rush line mass in the form of a wedge iv trout of tins run ner and rush ahead as far as they possi bly can into the ranks of their opponents. This play is styled the V or wedge. POTTO-1*- IHI. BA—_ IN I*I.AV. The opposing team is permitted to charge as soon as the ball i.s touched by the loot, and the rushers plunge at tlie -shaped mass and stop the flight of tlie runner as soon as possible. When tbe ball and player havo been brought lo a standstill tbe runner must cry, "Mown!" and the center rusher takes ii- d places the Irdl ou the grouud for another scrimmage, 'lhe ball is then j again put in play by the snap-back kick ing it or snapping it back to the quarter back. both sides may press forward as soon ball is put in play by the center t he quarter-Musk generally passes v.c ball still further behind him toa half orback to kick or run witli, and it is tho object of the opposing forces to push l rward, while the side having tiie ball endeavors to retard their advance until tiioir runner or kicker has had time to execute tiie play. .[.posing tones are given the priv ilege of using their hands and arms iv making a passage for themselves to se <• rre the bail, but the sido having the ball must not use their hands or arms, b,.t oniy their bodies in obstructing or retarding their opponents. To preveut (eu side from retaining possession of the bail continually the rule provides that in three attempts or "downs" as they tie called, a side not liaving advanced ..1 live yards in the direction of Its o: p.ments' goal or retreated twenty yards toward their own goal must surrender ssjon. To prevent this surrender the team having the ball invariably kicks it as far as possible dowu the held after having made two unsuccessful attempts to ad- Vance it by force or by means of a run. Ko feint kick is permitted. Sho.ild the ball be caught on the Ily and no other of his own side touching it the catcher plants his heel in the ground where the catch is made aud is entitled to a free Under these circumstances his oppo nents are not permitted to come beyond the mark made by heeling tiie catch, v bile be and his aide may take up any •.vara Ids own goal as lie de and then make a punt or a drop kick, or place the ball tor a place kick. 'J'.ns is seldom done, however, the. generally going the form as describ* lin lie first kick-off. I 111. __.__. ":x Toll II." A I ail that goes across the side bound -81 y ime of the field is said to go "into ..." an i must be brought back to the fepol where it crossed the line. It is then put in play by one of the side that first secured poßß< ssion of it alter it went out. There are several ways of putting the ball in play after ii gees "into touch." il may be thrown in at right angler, to the touch Line, or it may be bound in or t. ached iv and then passed 1 ack, but the n ore poUti. way is .or the player to de clare, before stepping into the held, bow many places be will walk in, s.. nr, to make an ordinary scrimmage for it, the same as after a down. A great many good plays can be made the quarter-back gets possession of tie I ail on a snap-back. The "wedge" is, P- rhapa, the prettiest play of all. The center rusher leads tbe rush across tlie '1 he remainder of the ru^h line form a triangle and keep close to tho center rusher, with the quarter-back and the ball in the rear well protected. It requires a great deal of skill and eour- Bge to break a wedge that is carefully tliiilleil. Tbe other important plays besides the ..are around the ends or through tbe center. In the end play the halt-lack with the ball rushes around the end, pro i by the rush line, and tries to get as far as possible Into the tield of the ene my. Tne winner holds the ball tiglitiv under his arm. that be may still retain it in tbe eveut of a fall. SACIIAMENTO DAILT BECORD-ryiOX, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17. 150r..-EIGHT PAGES. The opposing team tries to prevent the progress ol'the runner by tackling, which means to intercept bim or run bim down, j The rules of the game allow tackling anywhere between the ueck and tbe j knees. In < enter play the guards force ! the men in the opposing line apart while the half-hack darts swiftly with bowed bead through tiie hole or opening into the enemy's territory. HEBE'S TflK WAV TO BOOBS. 'i'he score is done in this fashion. A lown is valued at four pointsand a goal two points. Thus a goal obtained by a touchdown, as in the game between "l vie ana Harvard recently, consti tutes six points. A goal obtained from a field kick represents live points aud i sa'ety by opponents two points. When one team succeeds in carrying tbe ball and putting it down on the ground back of the opposing team's goal either iv goal or touch in goal, it is called a touchdown. The team making this touchdown then has the privilege of tak ing tbo ball a short distance from the goal and making (.ne attempt to kick it between the goal posts over the bar. (.ood judgment aione has to he used iv deciding whether the ball Bhould be car ried across the goal line or try a drop I kick. Tlie latter is at beet by no means sure of resulting successfully. If it lab, the ball generally crosses the goal line somewhere, and misgives the opponents j tlie right to bring ii out to the twenty- j five-yard-line for a free kick. In kicking for a goal alter a touch- I down tlie player must make a mark with his heel ou the line as lie walks out, an i when ho reaches a suitable distance tix the ball for one ot his side to kick. Tho opponents mustatand behind tbeir goal line while tiiis is going on. In lixmg the I ball il is placed in tiie hands of the placer, close to the ground, and. alter being steadied and properly trained, is kicked. • ust belore being kicked tiie placer per mits tlie ball to touch tho ground, but he eontiuui ito steady it until it is kicked. The object In putting the ball on the ground as soon as possible before it is kicked is this: The opponents can press forward the in-tant the ball touches the ground, and unless kicked immediately might be stopped by the opposing forces. Should the goal be missed, the ball is taken to the center of the held lor kick- < oil' agaiu. Safety by opponents is a privilege jiven to the players who.se goal is in dauger. _\ thai their opponents are sure lo get a touchdown, or four points, they are pi rmltted to pass, kick or carry the ball over tiie goal line, and there touchdown for saiety. This gives two points to their opponents, bin prevents them from getting four, but, while it sa sacrifice to touchdown lor safety, it gives tlie side ■ the privilege of taking tbe ball out to the twenty-live-yard lino and indulging in a free kick. A drop kick is made by letting the ba!! tall lrom the hands and' kicking it at the very instant it rises. A punt is made by letting thi* ball fall Iron, the hands and kicking il be.ore it \ touches the ground. Kick-off is ri place kick from the cen ter of the held of play and cannot score a goal. Kick-out is a drop kick or place kick by a player of the side whicli has touched tie ball down in their own goal or into whose touch-in goal the bail has gun... and cannot score a goal. In-toueh means out of bounds. If the catcher, after making his work subse quent to a play or Ily catch, be deliber ately thrown to the ground by an oppo ; nent, he i.s given live yards unless this carries the ball across tlie goal line. •rin: choos .\* . of cmmbes. Umpires are nominated and elected by the Advisory Committee of the intercof iegiate Association and the releree is chosen by the captains of tlie opposing teams, except in cases of disagreement, when the choice is referred to the com mittee. The umpire is the judge for the players, and his decision is final regard ing touls and unfair tactics. The referee is judge ior the ball. Both officials use whistles to indicate cessation of play on fouls and downs. The Umpire permits no coaching, under penaltj o; disqualification to tne offender. The time of n game is an hour ami a half, each side playing forty-five minutes from each goal. Tlie intermission between the halves is ten minutes. Tune is allowed for loss through fouls, dead balls and other causes. lhe captains toss a penny before the match begins, and the winner lias tne choice of goal or of kick-off, generally choosing tho side favorable to th... wind. 'lhe same side is not permitted to kick off in two successive halves. Whenever a goal is obtained tho side which has lost it iias tlio privilege of kicking off, No delay in play must last more than live minutes. If a player when oil' side touches the ball inside the opponents' live-yard limit, the ball goes as a touehback to the oppo nents, 'the penalty for touls and viola- | tions of rules is generally a "down" fori the other side, or, if tho side making the j foul has not the ball, live yards to the ! opponent^. Throttling, tripping, striking with [ j closed list, intentional tackling below the ! knees, are punishable with twenty-five yards or a free kick to tho opponents. The ball may be thrown or passed in any direction except towards opponents' goal. The man who puts the ball in play in a scrimmage cannot pick it ap again until it has t niched some third man.

How Senator Hart Won the Cigars from Judge Davis. Justice Henry's Recital About Undo Ben JoUnsou—The Funny Man's Straufjo Caller. Major XV. A. Anderson won a wager for Senator E. ('. Hart, unwittingly, the other day. .md at the same time couvicted himself of a serious cbarge. It appears that tho Senator, ex-Justice George I'avis and several other legal lights won* engaged in _ discussion ol'the United states Senatorahip, on J street, when they happened to observe the gal lant Major across tho street conversing with a lady on legal business. "I'll wager tin. cigars lor tlie crowd with you, Judge," said Senator Hart to Davis, "that tiie Major i.s uot telling that lady tlie truth, no matter what they are talking • about." Jndge Davis took the bet, and when the Major left the lady and came over to whore they were standing, lie was in formed of the wager. "Didn't you lie to her?" asked the Senator, sharply. "Why," Bpluttered the Major, "I bad to. .on Bee, she—'' Bnt the bowl of laughter that followed drowned ctit tlie .Major's explanation. He didn't exactly see when: the joke came in, ba< ('<ui.seinni to take oneof the ci gars, and laughed a little, too. Judge Henry has a story which he says is eitlier brand new, or i Ise is so old thai it bas been forgotten by everybody but himself. It's about old Uncle Ben Johnson, who ! usi.il to Uvea few miles out from Lexing ton, "Kaintucky." ! nele Ben used to go to town every few days and exchange ; "truck" loi* groceries and lhe like, vine i hot summer's day he was returning home with quite a cargo of provisions, and quite a lor-d of corn-juice inside. Mure than this, he had a little brown jugunder the seat, and now and then would replenish his "jag" with the contents. Uncle Uen got r.iitier unsteady, and. a desire coining | over him for ■ nap, be nulled up under a shady tree. Ho tied old Betsy to the fence, and, lying down in the grass, was soon "sau .ng wood." Hi in.- kind-hearted neighbors came along, who had more sympathy for Betsy than for i n<• 1. ■ Ben. * o nicy" anhitcb< il the animal, turned Iter into a neighboring pasture, and went t7.cn- way. L nc!e Ben awoke in the course of a conpli ol hours in ratberajknjamic state He rubbed his c i rid stared about in a greatly b< wil lere I manner. "Whoani I, and where am I?" asked Uncle Ben—of the birds, probably. i hen his eyes fell upon the reeling and horseless wagon. "\\ ell, I'll be dinged!" quoth Uncle Ben. "Now (hie), eithor oneoftwo (hie) things ha-di happened. If my name is lien Johnshon (hie) I've lostahorsh; but if (hie) my name ain'l Ben Johnshon, then diici 1 bo dinged if i ain't found a wagon!" His hair needed pruning and lie was long and gaunt, with a strange look in his eyes. He stepped into the editorial room and asked to see the funny man. The oilice boy escorted him across the hallway and into another room. The stranger look a seat, and, looking square ly into the twinkling eyes of the man who writes those (rxi.rrueiaiiii.rly funny j stories, began to speak. "I want to tell you a little story," he rasped, "and I want you to listen at tentively." "Go ahead, I'm all ears," said the fanny man. "Yes, so 1 perceive," said the stranger, with a sickly smile. "But to proceed. In olden times, before there were any new .papers to put funny stones into, the j iutmy men made their living as jesters generally in sonic potentate's court. They wore caps and hells, and striped, varicolored suits. You have read of them, 1 presume?" •'Ob, yes," replied the humorous writer, somewhat pu ./led. "I'm! Well, my reason for calling was to congratulate you that yon are not liv ing in those tim.s," and the caller arose as it to go. "Well, may I ask why?" asked tbe funny man, still more puzzled than ever. "Why, yes. of course. You sec, in j those times when tho jester got off a chestnut the King chopped his head oil'," j and with that the long-haired, gaunt man ! strode lrom the room. A eounle of hours later, when the i managing editor went into the funny j man's room lor some "copy." he found I that tie had not written aline, but was j gazing fixedly, like one in a trance, at the partly open door. —• . DONNELLY'S CLOSE CALL. A Prison Guard Comes Near Making a Corpse of Him, An incident occurred on the Folsom Prison grounds on Thursday night which demonstrated the fact that Warden Aull bas men on guard there who know how I to handle tbe rifle effectively, even though | somewhat overzealous. lt appears that a livery-stable keeper of Folsom, named James Donnelly, had business at the prison after dark, and « as on his way back to Folsom when he heard a shot and at tho same instant a bullet crashed through too seat of his buggy an I overcoat, nearly grazing his side. He whipped up his horses and was not long getting out of the shooter's range. The guard who tired tiie shot was J. ]{. Foster. He supposed that Donnelly was some ex-convict who had been smuggling opium into tbe prison, orattomptiug to do so, and concluded to take a crack at him. Donnelly thinks—indeed, lie is quite cer tain—that henceforth be will transact his business with the prison ln the daytime. HOT CONTENT WITH HINTZ. So McC'ann Proceeded to More Practi cal Methods. A man named John Hintz, who lives at Nineteenth and M streets, complained to the police yesterday that he had beeu assaulted by one Billy Mcl'ann. According to Hintz, McC'ann—who did not appear to be as drunk as he might I havo been came up and said to him: "Hello, there ! gimme a cigarette !" To this liintz says he replied, politely, "Oxgoose me; 1 don't got any of dem. 1 vosii't smoking cigareets, ear." With that, he says, Mcl'ann proceeded ■ to search bis (HiutzV pockets, and. not ! finding any cigarettes, be knocked bim I down and called him a large assortment lof vile names. He further told Hintz i that he bad a notion to kill him. As soon as Hintz got away he went to I the police station, aud Officer Malev and ihe patrol-wagon went with him to find JMcCann. ln the meantime that worthy* j had vanished and was not to be found. POLICE COURT. Only Threo Crises Came Up for Ad judiciitiou. In tho Police Court yesterday Dan Cunimings represented the bibulous fra ternity all alone. Dan hadn't been up for so long that Judge Cravens observed that he was "quite a stranger." Then Dan told how he had actually been at work, and it would take him several days to liuish the job he had found. The Judge complimented him upon his good behavior, and let him go to try it again. Mary Meyers, charged with a disturb ance of the peace, was dismissed, the trouble proving to bo of a domestic na ture, and her brother the complaining witness. The latter appeared in court, acknowl edged satisfaction and joined the City Attorney in asking a dismissal of the matter. •lames IC. and Ed Brady appeared for judgment, having been convicted of dis turbing tlie peace and battery. Their . asked the .judge ; () be lenient, as they were industrious boys, whose worst failing was an inclination tc light when they bad an opportunity. .Judge Cravens reminded them of the seriousness of lighting, but said he be lieve! it was the whisky they drank which did most of the fighting," and not the Brady in them. He then sentenced Ed to pay $Iv for disturbing the peace and 810 for battery, while James K. was lined £10 for the first ollense and *S"i for tbe second. The I'.rady brothers then went forth with their counsel to procure ?io, the amount of their lines. "BUDD'' TAYLOR'S DEATH. Ile Was a tVell-Knowu and Popular Tonus Man. F. J.
