OCCIDENTAL AND
HIGH TO CONTEST
EACH ELEVEN CARRIES LARGE
HOSPITAL LIST
Presbyterians sparing no Effort Pre-
pairing for Battle, as Victory for
School Would Be Embarrass-
ing to College

The second "big" football game of the
season is scheduled for tomorrow, wher
Occidental college and the Los Angeles
high. school eleven will line UP a
Fiesta park. -.
Occidental will put forth every effort
to take the game, for while loss tc
the academies would not technically
put the Presbyterians out of the race
for the college championship, high
school victory would, on general prin-
ciples, be embarrassing for the High
land Park eleven at this stage.
With a few exceptions, Merrill says
his men will enter the contest in the
best of condition. Weiman and Crane
the. tackles are bothered with sprained
ankles and may not play tomorrow
afternoon, but the remainder of the
squad is in The best of form.
Last Saturdays game gave a line on
Occidental as to what it could do in
the scoring line, and although UP
against an altogether different PROPOSE
tion in the coming contest will be pre-
pared for a smashing argument.
According to Merrill the average
weight of his men is 15S pounds
stripped. In the back field B. Merrill
and Northcross come to 1856, with
Saulding at quarter and Clark at full
weighing 1876 and 1853. This gives Occi-
dental a slight advantage over high
school behind the line, with the for
wards ranging about even.
Whether the Highland Park men will
follow the tactics of ST. Vincents and
endeavor to demoralize the line remains
to be seen. In past years, however,
they have relied to a considerable de-
gree upon an open style of play and
may go in for the end skirting PROPOSE
tion tomorrow.
High school will enter the contest
somewhat the worse for wear, as the
plucky wearers of the blue and white
did not spare themselves in the Cruel
ling go with the heavy st. Vincent boys
Saturday. and as a result Demens, Hol-
land and the Nasts are feeling the
effects of their recent efforts.
In team spirit they lead any eleven
in the south and a large degree of the
success that has come high school way
may be attributed to the "never say
die" spirit which characterizes them on
the field.
Merrill and Roesch have been hold
ing strenuous practice during the past
week and at Occidental heavy scrim-
mage work has been the order. Game
will be called tomorrow at o'clock.
The Occidental faculty has deter
mined upon certain rules to govern the
eligibility of those who aspire to repre-
sent the college in athletics, and the
following have been adopted:

college in athletics students must take

be above passing grade from the begin
ming of the term in which the contest
takes place in all subjects studied two
hours of laboratory to count as one.
"A student who in any term fails to
receive credit for twelve hours because
of conditions incurred shall be ineligible
until such deficiency is made up.
mo student who has represented any
other college or university on any ath-
letic team shall be eligible for an Occi-
dental first team unless he has been in
residence at least one semester, unless
at least one semester has elapsed since
he has been in school,
mo one may compete for more than
four years after he is of college rank,
nor for more than four other years

patton on college teams elsewhere shall

month of the opening of the semester,
