Hiuh School eleve en- defeat the gladiators OF
Occidental college in a somewhat hstless
game of football. The boys from the high
school opened up in their usual snappy style,
but their ardor cooled percepthbly alter van

PLAYED loose game at the start, but soon
settled down AMID put up a stubborn, uphill
game. Bell, Cromwell and Godron did good
work for the college team in advancing the
ball and Salisbury played strong defensive
game. Wynn put up his usual brilliant
game and was we'll supported by Munday
and Bosbyshell.
The high school won the toss and Occi-
dental kicked off Bell gained 35 yards on
the kick, but Bosbyshell carried the pigskin
back to the center. Hard plunging into the
line, aided by several snappy end runs, car
ried the ball close to the Occidental line, and
Bosbyshell scored a touchdown. Wynn
missed the goal.
Another ick-otf by Bell started the trou-
BILE anew, but Van Norman broke his collar
bone in scrimmage, and thereafter the mix
ups were not as lively as they had been.
In the second half Occdental's team made
a much better showing, but could not score.
Their opponents contented themselves with
playing almost EN- tirely on the defensive, be-
ing satisfied with the points already to their
credit. The teams lined up as follows:

Westlake property owners are getting
weary of the protracted fight over the en-
croachments of the oil well industry on

owners asking the council to amend the
ordinance so that the line about the north
boundary of the park, instead of being 1900
feet distant, shall be fixed along the ridge
following Ocean View avenue, between Cor
