With local weather iOreCa ter6 already speculating over the coming winter rdint.ill, or lack ihorw)!, the Cokicn Bears ended i six year drought of their own with a victory over Stanford on November 30 at Stanford Stadium. In their 46- 17 romp over the Cardinal the Bears pulled out all the slops. The porous Stanford defense gave up 560 total yards (295 rushing, 265 passing), while Cal held the Cardinal offense to negative five yards rushing in the course of the game. While the entire team contributed with zeal to the win (four different runners, for example, went for 35 yards or more: Lindsey Chapman, Reynard Rutherford, Tyrone Edwards and Marty Holly), it was a day of strong individual effort. Senior tailback Chapman rushed for 141 yards, caught two passes for 36 yards (making him Cal ' s third- highest receiver), and became the first Cal player to score four touchdowns in a single game since Russell White. Placekicker Doug Brien, also a senior, booted four field goals for a career the 6even year total of 53, surpassing the school record set by Jim Breech in 1977. The defense, too, had their way with the Cardinal. Linebacker Jarrott Willard racked up nine tackles, while strong safety Ricky Spears tallied eight. Paul Joiner, Artis Houston and Ike Booth, among others, also distinguished themselves. We played our hearts out today. It was our best game by far, said senior defensive end Brad Bowers. At halftime, five Cal fans did some tackling of their own, taking out the Stanford tree. Stanford police arrested, cited and released the students, calling them the Berkeley Five. ♦ The halftime melee was only a preview of things to come. As the dock ran down on the Bears ' victory, police surrounded the field to keep excited fans from rushing. Cal fans responded by making circles over their heads with their hands and chanting donuts, donuts. Despite repeated warnings after the game ended that any unauthorized people on the field would be subject to arrest, Cal fans grew impatient when Stanford officials failed to produce the Axe, and eventually tumbled police were Berkeley clinging to Daily Cal onto the field in such numbers that the forced to stand back and watch as students tore down the south goal post, it like metal filings to a magnet, as editor XickPerlmuter put it in his column. Frustrated police surrounded the remaining field goal like it was Fort Knox. ' Goal post, ' chanted the crowd, eerily. Turf flew, the Band partied, and fans released six years ' worth of aggression in a wild, jubilant free-for-all. Stanford officials seemed almost blase ' about the whole affair: We were reseeding anyway, the farm ' s director of facilities, John Davis, said the next day. Stanford ' s rally committee finally brought out the Axe nearly 45 minutes after the end of the game, prompting cheers, more crowding, and general glee among the Cal players, who proudly carried the Axe through swarms of fans ♦ The hype and happiness continued the following Monday, when students filled Sproul Plaza to cheer the Axe, and the Band marched off through Dwinelle Hall, carrying the Axe and playing the Cal fight song. This is pretty good, said Bears ' head coach Keith Cilbertson. It ' s about as good as it gets jy j jern trom Student Life ♦ 20
