Pomona Men Ready
A report from the foothil training
quarters at Claremont last night stat
ed that the members of the Pomona
team were being figuratively "held in
leash" The boys are more than anx-
ious to pit their skill and science
against the Drawn and cunning of the
redskins and royal sport will be fur
nished.
A special train will leave Claremont
this morning at 500 o'clock over the
Santa Fe route to bear the football
players and the rooters to Los Ange-
les The students held an enthusl-
astic meeting at the college yesterday
and under Bishop who will act as yell
leader they expect to have their
roofing down to a science.
The football players will make the
Broadway Van Nuys their headquar-
ters for the day and will lunch at
11:30 and then start to the grounds,
where the game will be called at 2:36
sharp.
In the evening $50 students and foot
ball men from the college will attend
the "Ben Hur'' performance at the Ma
son, after which their special car will
return to Pomona.
Noble Has New Plays
Coach Noble has several new plays
which may puzzle the Indians. Tango
man is running a tackle buck play
from position which is sure of some
kind of a gain. Metcalfs ability with
the place kick and Moorman's forty
and forty-fve yard punts will probably
make the play spectacular
Wharton will go in at quarter again,
alternating later with Spaulding at
left end 1t is hard to pick the bet
ter man of the two
Kepner will tear up the line from
his old position at guard; Baird, the
most sensational hurdler in the south
west, will be holding down his posi-
tion in the back field and can be re-
lied upon for big gains.
Goode and Holiday, both varsity
men. will be on the side lines for emer-
gencies. Fultons broken hand still
keeps him out of the game.
Now for the Indians
Ben Neafus, the hero of the ladies,
the slender lad with the soulful eyes,
will be in at quarter and a cleverer
quarterback cannot be found on the
coast. NeafuS makes his team run
like a machine and his men will do
wonders for his asking. The feet-foot-
ed quarter can be relied upon for long
gains at quarterback fakes and for
long-distance punttns.
For new plays Hempel had devel-
oped wonderfully speedy performance
for his men which, like the jiu jitsu of
the Japanese, makes the other man in
jure himself. With this new forma-
tion Hempel proposes to fool the Po-
mona lads into getting out of the way
of his men instead of his men using
strength and speed to open up the line
Some of the Indians are said to have
''charlie horses" from their northern
trips and one or two have been suffer-
ing from rheumatism, but all are eat
ing three big squares" a day at the
Hollenbeck hotel, and when the purple
and cold trOts ont ON the field this
