play finds place among the team mem
bers the seasons end should find st.
Vincents with the leaders. The north
ern trip and the practice preceding 1t
has given the Grand avenue college as
pirants, a decided advantage and, pro-
vided they do not get over edge, fast
clip will be the Vincentian style for the
coming months. When Haggerty went
north he took with him man whose
name worried every team in Southern
California some years back. Durazo
was full-back on the st. Vincent eleven
perhaps seven years ago and was then
regarded as one of the greatest line
plungers in this section. Short, mas
sively built and with enough of the
Indian blood to render him absolutely
fearless he was a dangerous opponent.
Whether he will become fixture at St.
Vincents is not a settled question and
whether he will regain his old time
form is a problem.
There is surplus of back field ma
terial and the line looks strong. Nc
the south and his drop kicking pos
sesses it's significance. Irvine and
Murrietta are extremely fast getting
down the field and Irvine exhibits con-
siderable ability in tackling. Cunning
ham of the University of Colorado as
right half should prove a valuable man
and promises to make name for him
self. Acker is regarded by Coach
Holmes as the equal of any half in the
state.
One of the strongest men on the line
is Stewart at center, who played tackle
on last years team. E. Mcdonald and
Mounier are mainstays Of several years
experience. Philips is new man and
will try for guard. M. Mcdonald and
Seeley are out for quarter with honors
even. Andreas was one of the strongest
behind the line last year and can be
relied upon when yards are needed.
Campbell, Lamer and Wilhoit have all
seen service.
OccldentaPs Chances
Coach Merrill at Occidental is more
than pleased with the aspect of things
at the Highland Park institution and
has every expectation that the record
for the season will be a marked i'm
provement over last years work. Ex-
perience is the drawback, but the big
coach is looking forward confidently,
and it will be matter for no small
credit if the green material pans out
into a fast aggregation. Although all
but two of last years squad have re-
turned the new men have the weight
and strength that will displace many of
the older ones.
Conrad of San Bernardino high school
will try for CENTER tall and rather
slight, he uses his head to good advan-
tage. Petty is another player out for
the same position. He played full last
year and was the best man back of the
line. Watson Burt has returned after
two years. absence and is after a guard
position Miles Van Schriltz of the
Santa Ana High school is another likely
candidate. He tips the scale at 100
pounds. Robert Patterson and Demaree
are also in line for a guard position.
Rheinschild, brother of the former high
school player, is on the squad. Hagger-
man, who will play left end, is known
for his ability throughout California.
Harry Hodge, Allen Merrill, Fay
Clarke, Ivey Marshall, Moffit, Howard,
Irwin and Dane comprise the remainder
of the likely candidates. Chaplin, an
old Occidental man and a Princeton
graduate, will try for quarter. .,
High Schools Prospects
Coach Roesch of the high school is
leaving no stone unturned to make the
high school team the same snappy ag-
gregation which, backed by an admir-
able school spirit, has made name III
the history of Southern California foot
ball. A trifie heavier than last season,
the high school should make things
lively for the college output. Roesch
claims that Sanderson of Boston will
Drove another Acker at half. Mast will
return, and with Cass Demens and
others of last years pick a strong
neuclus for good team Is assured.
All things considered the coming sea-
son should be a banner one in the
south.
