		The Axe was passed to student to student, and a chase ensued through the streets of San Francisco, first followed by Stanford students and fans and second followed by the San Francisco police.
		In 1933, both sides agreed to designate the Axe as the annual trophy to be awarded to the Big Game's winner, and that in the event of a tie, it would be kept by the side already possessing the Axe.
		Stanford thought that one of the five laterals on that play was an illegal forward pass; therefore, whenever Stanford wins the Axe, the score on the plaque for the 1982 game is changed to read Cal 19, Stanford 20.

		And Stanford then was bound to resent that superiority with such feeling that every resource in her power should be mobilized to the undoing of it.
		Stanford had even become a bit fat-headed with success.
