Yesterday afternoon on the grounds at
Garfield university, the High school foot
ball team met the Paramount team in as
brisk game as has been played in the
city for some time. The Paramount
team did not express themselves in any
way when they came upon the grounds
but in the faces Of the players could be
seen a determination to win If possible
The High schools on the other hand were
plainly confident from the start.
Special cars brought the players and
their friends TO the grounds, and prepar-
atoms were made at once to begin the
game without more ado. Upon the toss
the High school was given the bal, and
Paramount faced east upon the grounds.
The ball was kicked off well into the
Paramount territory, and in the first
a run TO left The ball was played back
and fourth few times, and during the
play Morrison Of Paramount, one Of their
strong men, had the misfortune to in
jure his knee He continued 10 play,
however, for a short time, but the weak
member was again wrenched in such
manner as to make il impossible for him
TO continue the game. A substitute was
put in his place and the game went on.
The High school obtained possession Of
the bal and George Davidson began his
end runs which continued through the
entire game. There was little gain or
loss for two scrimmages. A claim Of an
off side play was made and allowed
which gave the High school five yards.
Davidson went through the line for two
yards. but in the next trial gained MOTH
ing. The ball was next given TO Rogers,
the right end man, who made good run
around the opposite end, followed by
good run around right end by Davidson.
In three trials the High school did not
gain the ground required. and the bal
went to Paramount. Torrey made run
through the line, gaining four yards, af-
ter which no gain was made by either
team until the High school again OBJ
tanned the ball. The first trial lost the
High school five yards but in the next
Kerfoot, by a clever end run, gained
twenty yards. The teams. were now
within about seven yards Of the Fair
mount goal line and Davidson made
brilliant end run around right end but
could not get through the crowd OF spec
tators. He turned and ran back behind
his own rush line in an attempt TO go
around the opposite end but was too late.
He soon after made two yards

Score then stood to 0 for the High
school.
The Fairmounts kicked off and the ball
was nicely caught by Alexander. They
gained fourteen yards by end runs but
lost half OF it by a bad tumble. Several
scr:mmages followed in which little was
gained or lost. Davidson finally going |
around right and gaining fifteen yards. |
This ended the first half.
In the second half Paramount took the
ball and kicked OFF. High school made
steady gains of from two to five yards
until they were tackled in their
own territory. The ball was passed and
Young made fine break for the goal,
but foul was claimed, man having |

garded. This carried the ball back forty |
yards which had been gained by Young. |
Paramount tackled the High school in |
their own territory several times, but |
Davidson finally made a long run around |
right end, and by small gains the ball |
was soon within ten yards of the Fair |
mount goal line. No gain was made I'M |

several yards by going through the line |

cf the High school made a fine run |
around the end, touching down. On n |
punt out the ball was fumbled. This |
made the score 10 TO 0 in favor Of the |
High school.
The remainder of the game was char

liant plays by Richter. He was as quick |

idson made several fine runs, going |
through the crowd quite often. When |
time was called the bal, was within ten |
Yards Of the High school goal line. The |
High school team showed good team
work and were quick in their plays. The |
Fa r-mount team We're by far the strong |
ar and had the advantage of weight. but |
IN account Of not having but little team 1
practice lost the game. The game was a |
brilliant one from start TO finish, and |
Vas as pretty game as one would care /
% seeno smuggling or other unfair or bru-
al playing being INDUCED in. Two po-
icemen, however, proved insufficient to
keep the crowd off the grounds, and this
1ampered the players very much. Hun
ireds witnessed the game. cheering con-
'tantly. a large number of young la
lies witnessed the game also and set the
boys fine example for keeping off the
grounds.
