High School Meet.


the following account of the
foot ball game played in that city
between the Industrial Institute
and the Lake Charles High
School eleven. The game in
detail as given by the Press is
omitted for lack or space.
Before the largest crowd
which ever witnessed a fn;t ball
game in Lake Charles, with one
exception. the first g::E:a VI lch
was ever played ii the ct,, t.lat
between the Old college, under
DR.. Hubbell, and the High school
being the exception.
Yesterday was a magnificent
day to play football, the weather
being sharp and crisp. the
ground in fine condition and well
marked off, the officials good and
the audience full of.pretty girls
who did not fail to root In fact
the girls just discounted the
boys when the time came to
root.
Colors were in abundance, the
crimson and blue predominating,
horns were blown and the after
noon was gala one at the park.
For the High school the stars
were on the defensive, NeWland
and Moss, the defensive playing
of Newland being of the highest
amateur order, his breaking
through the line and tackling the
runner before he was OFF was
excellent. On the offensive Nc
Neese, Braden and Sale were
the advancers Slawson also de-
serves credit for advancing the
ball. Sales fifty yard run ior
the only touchdown, McNeeses
hurdle of the line, causing the
Industrial right half back to lose
the ball, Braden's line hurdIing
and fine bucking, Moss end
work, Broussard's fullback LAY
ing, and McNaphy, the little left
end for Lafayette all made good
plays.
Promptly at two fortyfive the
High school arrived on the
grounds in charge of coach Nc
Neese, and trotted to the cast
side Of the grounds, where they
were given few Instructions by
their coach. The Lafayette ooys
arrived on the grounds aJ two
ten, and after choosing the off
cials the game started at two
twenty five.
The elevens were pretty evenly
matched in weight, Lake Charles
having about three pounds the
best Of it. Lafayette played
without their captain, he having
been injured recently inpractice.
At the toss up, Capt. Braden
won the toss and chose the kick
off, Lafayette choosing to de-
fend the goal. Twenty mln1te
halves were played and the Lake
Charles boys suffered more from
wind than did Lafayette.
Score, 5 to 0 in favor of the High
school
