![]() The Big Game is tied for the 10th longest rivalry in college football history. The two teams are separated by 49 points (1847-1798). Stanford leads the all-time series 56-46-11. After the game, Hoover and the Cal manager counted $30,000 in receipts - enough to finance the team for the next season. When the team captains were on the field and the referee asked for the ball, there was one small problem. However, as the crowd filled the stadium, Hoover ran out of tickets and was forced to collect coins at the gate and put them in empty wash tubs and boxes. Stanford manager Herbert Hoover, later to become the 31st President of the United States, printed 10,000 tickets for the 15,000-seat Haight Street baseball grounds in San Francisco. The first Big Game was held before an overflow crowd of 20,000. The Big Game - Stanford's annual war on the gridiron with the University of California - has now entered its third century. What Stanford and Cal began on March 10, 1892, in San Francisco is now one of the greatest rivalries in college football.
