Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-25

Barney Benjamin is one of the surest
drop kickers in California. He is q
sprinter and ia good 11-second man.
On his feet he is very strong and light
and is generally shifty. He is good
tackler, but not @ sure one. He plays
left end, and weighs about $50 pounds.
Ernest Chapman, the left half back,
is the lightest man in the team, about
140 pounds. He has plenty of grit, how
ever, and is very deft with his
arms in overcoming opposition.
| He is not very fast on his feet but
guards well and tackles low and hard.
He is also neat dodger.
The substitutes are w. o. Connor,
Paul Flammer, Ed German, George
Wright and James Ryan. w. o. Con-
nor is the heaviest man in the team and
will probably play center in the second
half. He played several years ago with
Cincinnati and neighboring football
teams. He has also played Rugby. As
center rush he will greatly add to the
strength of the team.
Paul Flammer is new man in foot
ball circles and is better known az the
all-around indoor champion of Southern
California, being also the heavyweight
putter of this locality.
Ed German and George Wright are
for the ends. They are both good and
are fast runners. They are, however,
almost too light to put against such a
team as the Stanfords. James Ryan, an
other sub, is also good.
THE sTANFoRDs.
j.. Wilson is fearless player and
tackles anything on the field. He plays
rather sure than brilliant.
T.. X. Code is an ideal quarterback.
He is wrestler and is good tackler,
with the one fault of catching high. He
always knows where the ball is and is
usually in every play.
If Harrelson had little more weight
he would be star man. He is excel
lent on aggressive playing, but in de-
fensive he is handicapped by his weight.
Claude Downing is one of the most
reliable players in the team. He is
sure to follow the ball in every play.
He is better on defensive playing than
on aggressive.
Guy Cochran is the only local among
the visitors. This is his first year at
the university, and he went there with
a slight knowledge of football, acquired
in the east. His knowledge of the game
and the snap that he puts into his play
is something remarkable for boy of his
years, as ne is only l8, and in the next
three years of his football career will
give something Of which Los Angeles
can be proud.
Steward Briggs is another reliable
man. A guard who never let's his man
through, and all he lacks to make typ
ical guard is little more nimblenees
with his feet.
w. H. Kennedy has the making Of
good fullback. He kicks we'll. is good
rnnner and dodger, but is poor tackler.
His weakest point, however, lies in his
inability to train faithfully with the
team.
A. H. Barnheisle. the center and act
ing captain in Cleman's absence, is
fairly sure to hold his man, but lacks
that dash which enables center to rip
up line, whatever it's weight. He is
very ehifty and quick for heavy man.
w. w. Orcutt was not player in the
Stanford Berkeley game. He is mus.
cular fellow and plays as strong game
at the finish as at the start.
J. BaFrankenheimer, the left end, is
an all around player, and plays half
back aswell as on the end. He has an
unlimited amount of grit.
Paul Downing, the right half, played
finely at the Stanford-Berkeley game,
and is another man who can be used in
several positions. Although not bril-
liant runner his power in rushing the
line tells.
Patterson, substitute guard, will play
in the game with Chaffee college next
Wednesday. Although not SO sure as
Orcutt, he is a much quicker man.
Whitehouse has been trying for center
position during the past summer.
He is all that can be asked as far as un-
understanding the position and in the
strength of his play. If he was 20
pounds heavier he would make an ideal
center.
The team will play follows; the
figures after each man indicate the
weight:
