SOME EXCITING FOOTBALL
A Brass Cannon Slgnalizes Throop
Gains
A Large and Enthusiastic Crowd
Watches the Game-Several Play

Throop institute won over the Ath-
letic club in the football contest at Ath-
letic part yesterday afternoon by the
score of 10 to 4, and now holds the silver
cup given for the Southern California
championship. The game was an ex-
citing one, and the result remained in
doubt up to the last five minutes. AT
times the play was brilliant on either
side, and would have done credit to any
team, and at other times it was distress
irgly slow. The Athletic team hardly
ever tried any fancy plays, and relied
principally for gains on line bucks.
which hardly ever failed to result hand
somely Misunderstanding the signal
resulted in heavy losses several times.
Throop did some very good team work
and made several pretty plays. Good
ales punts were a feature. Several
times when Throop had been crowded
almost to the line and touchdown
seemed inevitable Goodale would make
an invaluable punt, sending the ball we'll
down the field and out of the danger
line. There was a dearth of exciting
runs, not because attempts We're not
made, but no one seemed able to get
successful start. Athletics interference
was noticeably much better than in the
last game and Throop has also i'm
proved in this respect. Blick, who
has taken Hart's place on the Throop
team as full back. did good work and
fills that position exceedingly we'll. The
most brilliant play of the game was
made when Goodale got the ball into
Van Luvan's hands after he had been
tackled and the latter made thirty
yards run with it, scoring a touchdown
Just two and three-quarters minutes
after the beginning of the game. The
question arose as to whether Van Luvan
had not received the ball on forward
pass 1t was ruled that it was all right.
A good sized audience was present, and
great enthusiasm was manifested.
Throop was well represented, and the
school colors of orange and white We're
visible all over the grand stand. Ma
rion Weight was on the grounds with
his small brass cannon, which roared
merrily whenever Throop gains were
made.

ball. The Athletic club took the south

20-yard line, where Turner got it on a
tumble 1t was brought rapidly back to
the center of the field. where Goodale
broke through the Athletic line and car
ried the ball down to the 30-yard line.
There he was tackled, but before fall
ing he passed the ball to a. Huvan,

the game began. Goodale then kicked

The ball was again carried to the CEN

losing five yards. In the next scrim-
mage the ball was fumbled and finally
covered by Throop man, after being
placed on the 5-yard line. 1t was then
evident that nothing could save touch
down except kick. and the ball was
passed to Goodale, who sent the sphere
spinning down the field. dropping on the
